Meng Zhi glanced at Gu Dai several times, struggling to hold back his curiosity, but eventually, he asked, “Your injury…”
Gu Dai, somewhat helplessly, said, “Chu Min told you, didn’t he?”
She specifically asked him not to tell her brothers.
Gu Dai reassured, “Don’t worry, Third Brother, my injury wasn’t serious and it’s almost healed.”
Meng Zhi, after observing Gu Dai and seeing that she seemed comfortable, finally relaxed.
He defended Chu Min, “I pressured Chu Min into telling me. Don’t be mad at him.”
Gu Dai nodded in understanding, “Alright.”
Although Meng Zhi felt relieved, he decided to focus on preparing nutritious meals for Gu Dai in the coming days.
Looking at the lingering marks on Gu Yin’s face, Meng Zhi commented bitterly, “Wen Ye is despicable, to harm a child like this!”
Gu Dai’s eyes also hardened, “Indeed, he’s despicable. That’s why I’ve already sent him to the police.”
Meng Zhi praised, “Well done!”
Realizing he was still holding Gu Yin, Meng Zhi lowered his voice, “You did great, Daidai. But what about Yinyin’s future?”
Gu Dai explained, “I’ve already arranged for her custody in Chuan City. She’s living with me now.”
Meng Zhi asked about Gu Si, “I heard Gu Si, Gu Yin’s mother, returned from abroad. Didn’t she oppose this?”
Gu Dai remembered Wen Ye’s words in the alley when she heard Gu Si’s name, a flash of coldness crossing her eyes, but she kept a smiling facade, “She initially opposed it, but quickly agreed.”
After a pause, Gu Dai mentioned, “I’m a bit tired, Third Brother. I’m going to rest first.”
“Okay,” Meng Zhi responded gently.
After Gu Dai fell asleep, Meng Zhi’s smile faded, his expression turning serious. He doubted Gu Si’s quick agreement and suspected a hidden agenda.
Also Wen Ye would be an issue, even though he was sent to the police, for safety reason, he had to keep an eye out for him.
When they arrived home, Meng Zhi gently announced to Gu Dai, “We’re home, Daidai.”
Gu Dai, a light sleeper, woke immediately.
Meng Zhi, facing a sleeping Gu Yin, asked, “She’s sleeping deeply. Should we wake her?”
Gu Dai advised, “Let her sleep. She needs rest to recover from her injuries. She can eat when she wakes up.”
After checking Gu Yin’s wounds and ensuring she was comfortably asleep in her room, Gu Dai joined the others for dinner.
In the dining room, Meng Chuan, Meng Zhi, and Fu Nan were waiting. They all turned to Gu Dai as she descended the stairs.
Gu Dai, taken aback, asked, “What’s wrong?”
Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi smiled, “We’ve missed you these past few days.”
Fu Nan didn’t speak but his eyes shone brightly at Gu Dai.
Touched by their concern, Gu Dai was about to speak when her stomach grumbled loudly.
“Let’s eat first,” Meng Zhi quickly suggested.
Everyone agreed, and during the meal, Gu Dai’s plate was constantly filled. After finishing, she rubbed her full belly and let out a satisfied burp.
Fu Nan, sensing that Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi would want to talk to Gu Dai, excused himself, “Miss Gu, I’m a bit sleepy. I’d like to rest in my room.”
Gu Dai nodded. Before Fu Nan left, she asked, “Have you been comfortable staying here these past few days?”
Fu Nan smiled warmly, “Very comfortable. These days have been happier than any I’ve known.”
Relieved, Gu Dai smiled back, “Good.”
After Fu Nan retreated to his room, Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi brought Gu Dai into a soundproof room, then asked, “Daidai, is Fu Nan… a new person you like?””
Gu Dai, completely lost, tilted her head with a look of confusion, “What?”
