CHAPTER 386: CHAPTER 233 HE GOT DRUNK 2

"Not much!" Gu Qingchen still had only two words to say.

"Are you drunk?" Bei Ran asked softly.

"No." Gu Qingchen answered her clearly.

Bei Ran mused to herself, generally speaking, usually those who are drunk claim they are not, and those who aren’t drunk will say they are.

If he says he’s not, it means he is.

"How are Big Fish and Little Fish doing?" Bei Ran leaned close to his chin.

This time, Gu Qingchen opened his eyes: "Cook all the dishes you just mentioned, and I will tell you."

Bei Ran got up, "Okay!"

She opened the refrigerator and quickly started cooking.

Meanwhile, Gu Qingchen lay down on the sofa, and she took a thin blanket to cover him.

Cooking was not a challenge for her!

Moreover, the dishes she mentioned just now were there because Aunt Wu had left them in the refrigerator before she left - Bei Ran had seen them, so when she told Officer Lin about them, she was not making it up.

Soon, the three dishes and one soup that Bei Ran cooked were ready on the table.

She got a bowl and served some soup and rice, and walked over to the sofa where Gu Qingchen was, yet she couldn’t bear to wake him up.

She saw he was already asleep.

Bei Ran sat by his side, unknowingly falling asleep herself.

All she knew was that she was in a warm embrace, feeling rather dazed.

She was so enchanted by this warmth that she snuggled closer into his arms.

At that moment, Gu Qingchen woke up.

He sat up, and she also awoke from her dream.

The dishes on the dining table had all gone cold.

"You’ve had a lot to drink, probably didn’t eat much, I’ll reheat it!" Bei Ran got up to do so.

"No need!" Gu Qingchen got ready to leave.

Bei Ran stepped forward, "Can your body handle this if you leave now?"

Gu Qingchen did not reply.

"No matter how hard it is, you have to take good care of yourself!" She looked up at him intensely.

In fact, when he was working as a Doctor, no matter how busy or difficult it was, she had never seen him drunk.

However, now in the business sector, networking was inevitable.

Gu Qingchen seemed sober now, and knowing how late it was, he coldly said, "What right do you have to say such things to me?"

If he hadn’t brought her back, she would have probably been in a rural area of X City doing volunteer teaching!

He wasn’t against her doing volunteer work, he just felt that this wasn’t the time to let her go.

Bei Ran knew her words couldn’t reach him.

She ceased to speak.

Gu Qingchen turned and left.

Bei Ran worried his effects of alcohol hadn’t worn off and he couldn’t drive; so she hurriedly ran out.

"Qingchen..." she called out.

Gu Qingchen was already in the car he arrived in, which hadn’t left and had been waiting for him.

After he got in the car and saw Bei Ran outside the window, he instructed the driver to drive away.

Bei Ran’s figure grew smaller, her gaze following Gu Qingchen’s car until it disappeared, then she stood in the cold wind.

The cold winds of late autumn blew in gusts, she wasn’t wearing a coat, involuntarily shrinking her neck.

The desolation of late fall, the deepening autumn mood.

The departure in late autumn always adds a touch of sorrow.

The Autumn that can’t be spoken, the sorrow that can’t be expressed, the departure that can’t be uttered.

"Miss Bei, come in!" one of the bodyguards said.

Miss Bei nodded, withdrawing her distant thoughts, she entered the house and said to them, "You must be hungry too! I made plenty of dinner, have some!"

"No need!" he said, "Miss Bei, please eat first and then rest."

"I don’t want to eat..." Bei Ran had no appetite at all; she had prepared the meal for Gu Qingchen, but he left without eating.

The bodyguard said, "Miss Bei, Mr. Gu said that if you eat your meal, he has something for you."

Bei Ran was puzzled; had he just come here to sit for a while after drinking? What did he want to give her?

But she knew she probably wouldn’t receive anything from the bodyguards who obeyed Gu Qingchen if she didn’t eat.

Bei Ran reheated the food and quickly finished eating; she then received a video in her phone’s inbox.

Bei Ran opened it and saw a joyful scene of the Big Fish and the Little Fish hopping around happily.

Big Fish and Little Fish were playing kangaroo jump, both children holding a sack and having themselves inside, hopping from one end to the other. There, the Little Fish fell down and cried out, "Daddy, hug..."

Bei Ran noticed her daughter had gotten thinner; her little chin used to be round, but now, it had slimmed down a lot.

The sight of a child losing weight is visible to parents, and it pains their hearts.

Watching such a joyful scene, she couldn’t help but have tears welling up in her eyes.

Although Gu Qingchen’s figure was not in the picture, she could tell that he must have been playing with them.

Regardless, as long as the children could be with him, even if it’s only for a brief time at night, she felt it was still better than the children never seeing their parents at all!

Gu Qingchen’s car arrived downstairs at Director Lin’s place, and Director Lin had just returned there. He patted Gu Qingchen on the shoulder, "A very clever woman!"

Gu Qingchen naturally heard what Bei Ran was saying; she was calm and smart.

She wouldn’t directly answer if Gu Qingchen had been at her place, but diverted the topic and spoke in one breath, not giving others the chance to continue asking.

At that moment, Director Lin returned his phone to Gu Qingchen.

Gu Qingchen took it over, "Coming back so late, my sister-in-law must blame me!"

"I told her I was with you, so rest assured! She doesn’t like me going out for business entertainments and mingling with those people. But with you, she feels very secure!" Director Lin finished saying, "You should also head back to rest soon! I’m going up!"

"Alright, rest early." Gu Qingchen nodded.

Director Lin still had his driver take Gu Qingchen back to Gu Villa. After Gu Qingchen returned home and saw that the children were sleeping well, he covered them with a blanket before stepping out.

The next day, at Gu Group.

Gu Bohan summoned Gu Qingchen and Gu Yucheng to his office. He looked at them and said, "Qingchen, Yucheng, sit down..."

The two brothers sat down, still maintaining a distance from each other.

"I called you here today mainly to tell you, you are brothers linked by blood, born of the same father!" Gu Bohan stated, "I hope you can cooperate in your work, rather than stepping on each other. Look, just like Boonie Bears, where the two brothers Big Bear and Little Bear lovingly work together against Bald Qiang..."

Gu Qingchen retorted without any courtesy, "But we are not from the same mother! We can’t love each other like you said."

Gu Yucheng just kept a cold face and stayed silent!

"Qingchen, look, it’s not mentioned in the show whether Big Bear and Little Bear have the same mother, right!" Gu Bohan looked at him.

Gu Qingchen stood up, his thin lips slightly curled, "Then you go ask the scriptwriter to verify that first! If there’s nothing else, I’m going out to work."

Seeing him leave so rudely, Gu Bohan turned towards the always silent Gu Yucheng, "Yucheng, I hope you can work together!"

"Dad, it’s not me who’s not cooperating right now, it’s him!" Gu Yucheng still had a cold expression.

"Alright, you go get busy too!" Gu Bohan nodded.

As Gu Yucheng passed by Gu Qingchen’s office, he did not stop.

Gu Qingchen also immersed himself in his work, starting his busy day.

He had a bit of a headache, he rarely drank alcohol, and as a doctor, he was almost a teetotaler, that was his responsibility towards his patients, not knowing when there might be an emergency.

However, now, he no longer wielded a surgical knife.

He spread out his palm and then looked at the thin calluses on his fingertips, an accumulation over time representing his life’s journey and years of career.

Recently, Bei Ran hadn’t been going to work, waking up late!

Last night, she watched the video Gu Qingchen left for her many times, happily shedding tears and then falling asleep hazily, and continued watching when she woke up.

As she woke up ready to continue watching the video of Big Fish and Little Fish, she received an email from a stranger.

Upon opening it, it was a video on a Ferris wheel. The woman, clearly visible, was Ji Su. She sat in the Ferris wheel, leaning against a tall and majestic man.

The man’s face was also visible; was it Gu Yucheng or Gu Qingchen?

Actually, if one calmed down, it wasn’t hard to distinguish the different temperaments of the two brothers.

Gu Qingchen’s cold detachment was uniquely pure and high-toned.

Gu Yucheng’s cool ruthlessness was venomous and fierce.

In the Ferris wheel, the couple embraced each other.

There’s a legend that a man and woman who kiss in a Ferris wheel will never part in their lifetime.

Bei Ran, being a wedding planner, was well aware of such a legend!

She should have known; Ji Su was a woman who had once appeared in Gu Qingchen’s life!

And indeed, she could tell that the couple in the video were Gu Qingchen and Ji Su.

Bei Ran put down her phone, paying it no mind.

Who might have sent it to her?

Gu Qingchen? No, he wouldn’t.

Gu Yucheng? No, he wouldn’t.

Ji Su? This person might be possible.

Although she was married to Gu Yucheng, she couldn’t let go of Gu Qingchen; she wanted Bei Ran to leave Gu Qingchen’s side.
