Chapter 1321: The Best Times
“Who needs you to that!” Meng Qi rejected her invite ruthlessly.
“Alright, I won’t bring you around.” Shen Qianshu smiled as she said. “Let Tong Hua take you around to play.”
City A. A windy and sunny day.
Gu Yuanli and Gu Xie came to fetch them. The two of them were very happy. Fang Hongxiu had woken up and hoped to see Shen Qianshu the most. Gu Yuanli said, “Mom woke up a few days ago and could only use a pen to write. She can talk now. She has not talked for many years, so she’s a little slow in talking.”
Gu Yuanli kept talking non-stop about Fang Hongxiu. After she woke up, they were very excited and surprised. Gu Chun was caught off guard by the bliss and was hit by giddiness. He did not do anything every day and only accompanied her to stroll and get some sunlight. He hoped that she could regain her form quickly.
Shen Qianshu was nervous for an unknown reason. Her palm was filled with sweat. “Will Mom like me?”
“Of course. You are her biological daughter.”
She knew it was such, but she was still very nervous. Her chest kept feeling like it was being stamped. She was looking forward, feeling excited and thrilled. It was like the first time she opened fire.
“Why didn’t Ye Ling come with you to the Gu Manor?” Gu Xie asked with some disapproval. This was a rare and good occasion. Why was only Ye Ling missing?
Shen Qianshu said, “Second Brother, Sixth Brother, don’t be oversensitive. It’s me who did not allow him to go. His… health is not good. He cannot go to crowded places.”
Gu Yuanli also did not continue asking. The matter regarding the Black Rose had been handed over to Beckman in Europe and Li Zhiyuan in City A. They had handled it very well, and there was not any area for her to worry about.
The more she was nearing the Gu Manor, the more nervous she was.
Once she was nervous, Tong Hua, who was with her, also became nervous.
The Gu Manor.
Gu Chun was pushing Fang Hongxiu, getting some sunlight, and strolling while it was sunny. The sunlight was brilliant, and the flowers were brightly colored. Fang Hongxiu’s beautiful face had a tinge of light red. She looked very good. She had slept for more than 20 years. When she woke up, she looked like how she was back then. Gu Chun looked at her, and he felt heartache and happiness. He was feeling heartache as she had missed out on more than 20 years of time. He was happy as they had a lifetime to spend hand-in-hand together in the future.
“I’m old already.” Gu Chun was a little sad as he stroked her long black hair. “You look like the old times. You did not change at all.”
“Not old.” Fang Hongxiu’s voice was a little hoarse and cold. Her pair of peach eyes were filled with tears. She did not expect to wake up again and did not expect her daughter to be still alive. She did not expect even more that Gu Chun had looked after her for more than 20 years.
She held his hand tightly. “Not old.”
Only mature!
This absence which lasted for more than 20 years made her miss out on the best times of a woman’s life. She had missed all her daughter growing up and also missed the ups and downs that she would have shared with her husband. She knew nothing. When she woke up, the overwhelming loss hit her, and it made her feel at a loss.
“Little Shu is coming back immediately.” Gu Chun touched the corners of his eyes and wiped his tears away. “Our second child and little six have gone to fetch them. They are already on the way. You will like her very much.”
“Why is her surname Shen?”
She could not be agitated when she woke up. Shen Qianshu’s matter was not told to her yet. Gu Chun picked some words which were soothing to her. He said that Shen Qianshu was raised by others. Although she did not grow up in the Gu Manor, she did not suffer any hardship at all.
“Will she like me?” Fang Hongxiu asked. She had retained the coldness during her time as a young girl and did not like to smile. She felt perturbed. Gu Chun had let her watch Shen Qianshu’s video. That was a pretty girl who loved to smile.
