Chapter 28: Enraged In Humiliation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Cheng patted the back of his son’s head in a comforting manner and then looked at Qiao Nuan. Qiao Nuan felt that his eyes were filled with condemnation as if saying, ‘How could you be so violent in front of your son?’

Qiao Nuan averted her gaze in guilt and touched her nose awkwardly.

“Mr. Gu, have you seen Qiao Ning? Did that crazy woman, Qiao Yu, do something to her just now?”

Seeing how Qiao Nuan was so anxious to protect her son, Gu Cheng looked a little better. He explained in a rare, gentle tone. “That woman mistook Gu An and Qiao Ning. She didn’t have time to do anything.”

“That’s good.” Qiao Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. “I think Qiao Yu is the crazy one. As an adult, she actually wanted to attack the child!”

“Probably because he was bullied by you, that the lady wanted to take revenge for the child.” Gu Cheng’s tone was full of reproach.

“With all due respect, if Miss Qiao is unable to take care of her child at all times, then you should stop making so many enemies for yourself. They might be unable to do anything to you, but it doesn’t mean that they will let go of your weak child.”

Qiao Nuan was initially very uncomfortable with the lecturing undertone, but she knew in her heart that what Gu Cheng said was right. No matter how uncomfortable she felt, she could only pent up her frustrations.

She nodded unhappily. “I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Gu.”

Qiao Nuan was about to leave to look for Qiao Ning when she suddenly heard Gu Cheng say lightly behind her back, “The prescription that Miss Qiao has given my grandfather was very effective. After using it for a few days, his condition has greatly improved. When the doctor I hired arrives, he should have a greater chance of curing his illness. I’d like to express my gratitude to you.”

Ever since they met, Gu Cheng’s toxic and eccentric attitude had left a deep impression on Qiao Nuan. She had thought that he would always show his bad side to her, but at this moment, his sincere thanks had really flattered Qiao Nuan.

Qiao Nuan did not hide her surprise. “Are you really thanking me? Why are you being so nice?”

The expression on his face immediately darkened. “It appears Ms. Qiao doesn’t need my gratitude after all!”

After saying that, he carried the child and strode away.

Qiao Nuan blinked and, after a while, asked the security captain beside her for approval. “Did that Gu guy get angry out of embarrassment just now?”

The security captain nodded with a complicated expression. The Boss’ behavior had just perfectly embodied the “enraged out of humiliation” character.

In that case, could the violent beauty beside him actually become the Boss’ wife? If that were the case, that marriage would be fascinating!

Back in the director’s office, Qiao Ning pestered Qiao Nuan to ask her where she’d gone and what she’d been doing.

Qiao Nuan was very patient when she faced Qiao Ning, answering the child’s wild questions one by one.

She then mentioned that she had just met Gu An and his father at the hospital entrance.

Qiao Ning immediately became excited. He pulled Qiao Nuan’s hand towards the door. “Mommy, let’s go play with Gu An!”

Qiao Nuan did not really want to face Gu Cheng. She sat on the sofa without any intention of getting up. “When I wanted to send you to Gu An this morning, weren’t you unwilling? Why did you suddenly want to play with him again?”

“Mommy’s been so silly.” Qiao Ning exerted all his strength but still could not pull Qiao Nuan up. She panted heavily and put her hands on her waist to reason with Qiao Nuan.

“If I could only choose between Gu An and Mommy, I would definitely prefer to be with Mommy. But now that Mommy and Gu An are both in the hospital, the three of us can play together!”

Only then did Qiao Nuan understand Qiao Ning’s logic. She reached out and poked him on the head. “Little smarty-pants, you still want to hug me?”

It was rare for Qiao Ning to have a playmate. Not wanting to ruin the friendship, Qiao Nuan thought for a while and said, “Gu An is probably here to visit his great-grandfather. We can’t disturb him. Don’t you have Gu An’s contact information? Why don’t you send a message to Gu An and wait for him?”

“Alright then. I’ll ask Gu An if he has time first.”

Qiao Ning was a little unhappy. He pouted and opened the contact list on his smartwatch and called Gu An. The two kids didn’t mind the awkwardness when they said that they missed each other.

After the two finished discussing, Qiao Ning looked at Qiao Nuan happily. “Mom, Mr. Gu has a private lounge in the hospital. Gu An asked me to go!”

Just as Qiao Ning finished speaking, there was a knock on the director’s office door. A security guard came over and said he was here to pick up the young master’s friend.

The Gus must be really ostentatious, Qiao Nuan thought to herself. Thus, she allowed the security guard to pick Qiao Ning up.

After the child left, Liang Jing seemed to have thought of something. He asked Qiao Nuan hesitantly, “Have you seen Mr. Gu’s child?”

“Of course I have. Qiao Ning and I are staying at his hotel. These two days, Qiao Ning has often played plays with Gu An,” Qiao Nuan said with a sigh. “Although Gu Cheng is a scum, he has raised his son very well.”

Liang Jing wanted to say something but hesitated.. After thinking for a long time, he asked, “Junior Uncle, don’t you think Gu An looks too similar to Junior Brother?”
