CHAPTER 366: CHAPTER 222: TOUGH MEASURES_3

Butler Zhang Yuan walked up, "Young Master, would you like to stay in the same building you and the lady stayed in previously?"

Zhang Yuan looked at Gu Qingchen with surprise; he had only heard that the Young Master was doing well abroad, but it had been many years since he had seen him in person!

"Sure!" Gu Qingchen nodded.

Zhang Yuan led them to a small villa, surrounded by blooming flowers. Once inside, there were paintings on the walls, all signed by Song Xiaoyin personally.

However, time seemed to have stopped more than thirty years ago.

"Young Master, this place has been well-maintained. I arrange for someone to clean it every day," Zhang Yuan led them upstairs, "I still remember how you used to play here as a child, and in the blink of an eye, you’ve grown up so much..."

The second floor held the bedrooms, one was Song Xiaoyin’s, one was Gu Qingchen’s, and another was a guest bedroom.

"Young Master, would you like to stay in your old room?" Zhang Yuan asked.

Gu Qingchen nodded, and Zhang Yuan opened the door; Bei Ran and Gu Qingchen walked in.

"You go down first," Gu Qingchen said.

As Zhang Yuan prepared to leave, he asked, "Young Master, how is the lady doing?"

"She’s fine." Gu Qingchen glanced at him, "Thank you for asking!"

Zhang Yuan nodded deeply: "It’s been many years since I last saw the lady, it’s good to hear she’s well..."

After Zhang Yuan left, Bei Ran started observing his room, which still reflected when he was around twenty years old.

It was like time had stayed still from over a decade ago; in his room, there was still a CD player, and on the shelf, the CDs from that time.

There were also some books, and on the table was a photo of him in his youth, at the age of twenty, right in his prime.

Bei Ran took a photo of the picture with her phone, "Wow, what a memorable photo!"

Gu Qingchen sat down while Bei Ran picked up his CD player, put it on her ears, and started listening to the CDs from that time.

"The bell rings signaling the return home, in his life, it carries a hint of a sigh..." Bei Ran, who also entered adolescence over a decade ago, was quite familiar with the music by Beyond, especially beloved by older students, particularly the boys.

Students in the early nineties most likely all loved the songs by Beyond, the popular thing was to wear a CD player, with earbuds in both ears, and fully immerse oneself in these inspirational and melodious songs.

This was also Bei Ran’s first entry into his past life. Undoubtedly, the former Young Master Gu lived a life of luxury, but he was unhappy.

Or perhaps, following his grandfather into medicine was the happy period of his life, but the case six years ago, the death of Song Chenxi, also plunged him into a hellish abyss once again.

And now, Gu Qingchen was forced to come back here, facing his past, who could be calm?

At that moment, Bei Ran with the CD player, came to his side, placing one earbud in his ear and keeping the other in hers, sharing it together.

Gu Qingchen pulled her into his arms, letting her sit on his lap, and without speaking, both lost themselves in the song "Glory Days"...

After listening to one song after another, both seemed to reminisce about their youthful past.

Bei Ran looked up at Gu Qingchen, his thoughts drifting far and wide, his face etched with unshakable sadness.

She knew, he must be unhappy!

"Qingchen..."

"Bei Ran..."

Both spoke at the same time, calling out each other’s name, in that moment, as they gazed at each other, it seemed like there were thousands of words unsaid!

Gu Qingchen looked at her intently, "I’ve made you suffer!"

"We’ve shared prosperity, and endured hardships together," Bei Ran said, "These are our most precious memories. Look, we’re now listening to music from over a decade ago, reminiscing about our youth, and in another decade or two, when our children are grown, we’ll sit in rocking chairs on an autumn afternoon, slowly rocking and reflecting on these times... The experiences in life, whether bitter or sweet, are the most precious treasures, and I’m grateful, I’m sharing these treasures with you."

Gu Qingchen stared at her beautiful face, which sparkled with vitality, she always empathized with him, "I too am grateful, that the person sharing my life, is you!"

Bei Ran then removed her headphones, and placed her small hand in his large one, "Qingchen, me too..."

"I know you miss the kids, I will try my best to keep them close to us," Gu Qingchen didn’t shy away from thetopic, "But I need some time, Bei Ran..."

"I understand," Bei Ran nodded, "And I know, you love them..."

Gu Qingchen drew her into his arms, he would do it as quickly as possible, definitely...

Bei Ran’s slender fingers gently caressed his calloused fingertips; he wasn’t a doctor anymore and was going into business now!

This outcome must be tougher for him than anyone!

Even in the darkest times of his life, he had never thought about giving up his medical career.

But this time, for her, for the kids, he had ultimately given up.

A faint sadness spread in Bei Ran’s heart, but with him by her side, she felt that whatever it was, it would eventually pass.

But at this moment, they still needed to fight, neither could fall!

To get their children back, they had to overcome the stubborn old man, Gu Bohan!

At that moment, Zhang Yuan’s voice called from outside, "Young Master, Miss Bei, the master says it’s time for dinner!"

Although neither wished to go, since the children were in Gu Bohan’s hands, they headed towards the main villa.

At the entrance of the main villa, Gu Yucheng and Ji Su had also just arrived.

Ji Su’s small hand rested on Gu Yucheng’s wrist, her presence as gentle as water, quietly flowing.

Bei Ran’s small hand was held tightly in Gu Qingchen’s warm large hand, giving her the strength to overcome anything.
