Although Gu Jia said this with a smile, her tears could not stop flowing. She felt even more upset when she thought about how her father had suffered all his life and was still thinking about her now.
After drinking, Gu Jia kept talking, as if she was venting the depression in her heart. It could also be that she had no one to complain to normally, so only in front of Zhou Chen could she fully release herself.
Zhou Chen listened to her story patiently, feeling a little guilty in his heart. He was actually a little responsible for Gu Jia's current situation.
But he quickly got rid of this idea. Even without him, according to the plot, Gu Jia's ending would not be perfect, and she would even go to the mountains in the end.
Now Ji Ri'an has temporarily fallen into a trough, but it won't be long before she will be able to get up again.
As expected, Gu Jia got drunk again.
"I won't go home. I won't go home. I can't let Zi Yan see me like this."
Just like last time, the drunk Gu Jia kept muttering loudly that she didn't want to go home.
Zhou Chen had no choice but to carry Gu Jia into the car and take her back to Grand Hyatt Residence just like last time.
After putting Gu Jia on her bed, Zhou Chen was about to leave, but Gu Jia, who was still in a coma, suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Don't leave."
This whisper completely broke Zhou Chen's defense. He no longer cared about anything else and turned around.
…………
After a long time.
Zhou Chen smiled as he looked at Gu Jia, who had fallen asleep due to fatigue and alcohol.
After doing so much, I finally achieved my goal today and slept in the same bed with Gu Jia.
Thinking of Gu Jia's appearance just now, he really couldn't believe that this was the dignified and elegant strong woman in daily life. The past few hours were really unforgettable for him.
For Zhou Chen, having developed to this point, the probability of completing the task will reach more than 90%.
Zhou Chen slowly got down from the bed and came to the balcony of the bedroom. He looked at the lights in the distance and quietly admired the beautiful night view.
Gu Jia woke up in the early morning of the next day. When she woke up, she saw herself lying next to Zhou Chen, their bodies pressed tightly together. She was startled.
But she soon remembered what happened last night and felt embarrassed and shy.
She had been with Xu Huanshan since she was a child. Thinking back on the madness of yesterday, she never thought that she would be so proactive. Moreover, Zhou Chen's fighting ability also shocked her. She herself didn't know how she fell asleep in the end.
Although she had gradually begun to accept Zhou Chen in her heart, she still felt panicked when she saw them suddenly sleeping together, and she didn't know how to face Zhou Chen.
"woke up?"
Just when she didn't know whether to move or not, Zhou Chen suddenly moved, looked at her with his eyes open, and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Yesterday, yesterday, us."
Gu Jia stammered and wanted to say something, and tried to move away from Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen pulled her into his arms.
"We were together yesterday, which means that from now on, we are one. Don't even think about leaving me again."
Zhou Chen hugged her tightly and spoke to her in a firm voice.
"I."
Gu Jia didn't know what to say. Did she say that she was impulsive after drinking yesterday? But she was conscious at the time, and now she was just embarrassed and didn't regret it.
Zhou Chen hugged Gu Jia tightly again.
"Don't say so much. You said to let nature take its course. Now let nature take its course. It's only a matter of time before you're with me."
Gu Jia stared quietly at the sound of Zhou Chen's heartbeat. After a long time, she spoke.
"Zhou Chen, I'm just an ordinary woman, not as good as you think, and I have children, you will regret it later."
"I never regret anything I do. I know you've been betrayed and now you don't completely believe in love, but if you believe me, I will make you feel at ease."
Zhou Chen knew that the most important thing now was to appease Gu Jia. As long as he could dispel Gu Jia's concerns, they would naturally be able to be together.
As for the next few decades, we will talk about it when the time comes. Besides, he may not stay in this world for decades. He may leave soon.
Gu Jia didn't know what to say. Just like Zhou Chen said, she had been betrayed once and her attitude towards love was no longer the same as before. Even towards Zhou Chen, she was wary because the gap between them was really too big.
Filled with fear, nervousness and other emotions, Gu Jia slowly fell asleep again. When she woke up again, it was already the next morning.
The first person she saw when she opened her eyes was Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen was sleeping next to her, looking at her with a smile.
Seeing her wake up, he gently tapped her nose.
"Wake up."
"Ah."
Looking at Zhou Chen's exposed body and muscles, Gu Jia's face turned red.
Without waiting for Gu Jia to get up, Zhou Chen suddenly lowered his head and kissed her, and then his hands began to move in an unruly manner.
"Oh, no, don't."
Gu Jia was shocked. She was so bold last night because she was drunk, but now she was completely sober. Feeling Zhou Chen's actions, her heart began to beat violently and her face was full of tension.
"Don't be nervous, Gu Jia, I will treat you well. Exercising in the morning is good for your health."
Afterwards, under Zhou Chen's dominance, Gu Jia reluctantly obeyed Zhou Chen.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 377: Tenderness, Child Terminator
Today is the weekend and there are no classes at Chenxing Rehabilitation Institute, so Gu Jia doesn't have to go to work in the morning.
As for Zhou Chen, he is the boss and he can skip work at any time unless there is something important.
We both don’t have to go to work, and since this is our first time together, it becomes natural to stay in bed.
…………
“The dumplings are ready.”
Gu Jia brought a stack of dumplings and placed them in front of Zhou Chen.
At this moment, she has regained her usual elegance and dignity, with a gentle smile on her face. She serves Zhou Chen like a wife.
Zhou Chen pulled her over and let her sit next to him.
"Let's eat together."
"Ah."
Most women will act very cold in front of other men, but they can be very tender when facing their own men.
The two of them took turns taking a bite, just like a loving couple who have been in love for many years.
This scene made Zhou Chen think of his wives in other worlds. They would also serve him like Gu Jia was doing now.
The difference is that they are all his wives who were married to him in a formal ceremony, while Gu Jia is just a woman with whom he had just had one night of marriage.
"Gu Jia, will you marry me?"
Strictly speaking, Gu Jia's personality and her status as a single mother do not make her the first choice as a wife.
But for Zhou Chen, none of these are important. Completing the task is the most important thing. Moreover, as long as he can make Gu Jia return to his heart, Gu Jia will definitely become an excellent and virtuous wife.
Faced with Zhou Chen's question, Gu Jia seemed very hesitant.
"Zhou Chen, this question is really too early for me."
As she spoke, her right hand gently stroked Zhou Chen's cheek, her cold palm sliding across his cheek, and her tone was gentle.
"You're so good to me, so good that it makes me feel like it's all a little unreal. I know I've fallen in love with you, but my heart is still filled with worry and fear. You're too good, and I'm just a single mother with a child. I'm not worthy of you."
Zhou Chen grabbed her hand, rubbed his cheek, and said softly: "Don't belittle yourself. If you are not good enough, how can I pursue you so hard? I know you are worried about my situation, but don't worry, my grandfather is the only one left in my family. He won't ask me about these things. He cares about the inheritance of the Zhou family. As long as you give me a few more children, he promises that he will not have any objections."
Hearing Zhou Chen talking about this, Gu Jia's face changed slightly, and she said: "It's too early to say this now. No matter what time it is, I will definitely take Zi Yan with me. Do you really not mind me taking Zi Yan with me?"
Zhou Chen: "If I mind, do you think I will pursue you regardless of everything? I said, I don't care about your past, I care about your future. As long as we are together, I believe we can handle these things."
"I know you truly love me. I may not love you as much as you do, but you have slowly taken over my heart. It's just that my current situation is different from other women. I have to consider Zi Yan. If Zi Yan is unwilling to accept you, there will be many problems between us."
Gu Jia, this is a very realistic problem. For a single mother, unless two people really love each other forever, a single mother will always feel that her children are more important than men.
Zhou Chen said confidently: "You don't have to worry about this. Leave Zi Yan to me. I promise that I will make him like me."
For Zhou Chen, coaxing a child of a few years old is much easier than pursuing Gu Jia. He worked as a pediatrician for decades in his previous life. He has seen all kinds of children and can handle any difficult one.
Gu Jia looked at him in surprise: "Are you so confident in everything you do?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I'm not so confident about other things, but I am confident about this. Do you think I would open a rehabilitation institution if I didn't like children? Compared to taking care of normal children, children in rehabilitation institutions are more energy-consuming, aren't they?"
"Are you really that confident? Although Zi Yan has always been very well behaved, he actually has his own opinions. After Xu Huanshan and I divorced, he asked me more than once where his father was. I only told him about the divorce twice, and he understood. This shows that he has grown up. If you want him to accept you, it may not be that easy."
Gu Jia was still worried. She knew her son better than anyone else. Although Xu Ziyan was not a child genius, he already understood a lot.
Especially with so many things happening at home recently, she could feel the changes in her son.
Zhou Chen held Gu Jia's hand, hugged her in his arms, and said softly: "Nothing is difficult in the world as long as there is a will. Leave it to me, don't worry. Today is a good day off. We can take him out to play. Just let me get to know him better."
"Is it possible?" Gu Jia hesitated.
"How do you know if it works if you haven't tried it?"
"Okay, I'll go back and pick up Ziyan later. Eat the dumplings quickly, or they'll get cold."
"Pour me some vinegar and chili, it will taste better when dipped in."
"Okay, I'll get it for you right away."
"Hmm~"
Gu Jia did not return home all night. After returning to the dormitory, her father asked her the reason. Gu Jia did not say much, just said that she was with a friend yesterday, and then left with Xu Ziyan.
Only Mr. Gu was left feeling melancholy.
Even if his daughter didn't say it, he had actually guessed that his daughter was most likely with Zhou Chen last night.
Because he moved here, he had met Zhou Chen. To be honest, judging from his appearance, temperament and behavior, Zhou Chen was indeed better than Xu Huanshan.
At least in his opinion, Gu Jia looks much more compatible with Zhou Chen than with Xu Huanshan.
But marriage is not just about appearance, it also depends on personality and other aspects. He didn't have much contact with Zhou Chen, but had a lot of contact with Xu Huanshan.
Xu Huanshan has been married to Gu Jia for so many years. If it weren't for the last incident, she would have been quite satisfied with Xu Huanshan, because Xu Huanshan respected Gu Jia very much and would go along with her in everything.
But Zhou Chen is different. He comes from a big family and is a top wealthy man. Such a person would definitely not be like Xu Huanshan, who always agrees with Gu Jia.
The conditions were very good, but he was afraid that his daughter would not be able to control Zhou Chen.
From a father's perspective, he would rather Gu Jia find a man like Xu Huanshan than a man like Zhou Chen.
But his daughter is grown up and it is not something he, as a father, can control. What's more, even Xu Huanshan, whom he is optimistic about, is unreliable, and Zhou Chen, whom he is not optimistic about, may not be inferior to Xu Huanshan.
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, he can only hope that his daughter’s vision is correct.
Not to mention Gu's father's worries, Gu Jia had already brought Xu Ziyan to meet up with Zhou Chen, and the three of them came to a large children's playground.
Xu Ziyan was indeed a very obedient child. Although he didn't understand why his mother took him to play with his uncle Zhou Chen, he didn't ask anything and was soon attracted by the toys in the park.
At this time, Zhou Chen demonstrated his abilities. He personally took Xu Ziyan to play many projects and taught him how to play and how to do them.
Xu Ziyan was unfamiliar with Zhou Chen at the beginning, but slowly he began to trust him. Later on, he even took Zhou Chen's hand and asked Zhou Chen to take him out to play, and he didn't even want his mother anymore.
Gu Jia was even more shocked when she saw this scene.
She knew her son very well. He was actually very wary of strangers. Although he had met Zhou Chen several times, he could become familiar with her so quickly and even take Zhou Chen's hand on his own initiative. This was something she had never seen before.
However, this situation made her ecstatic. If Zi Yan could accept Zhou Chen, then she could continue to develop her relationship with Zhou Chen with peace of mind.
After playing for an afternoon, Zhou Chen took Gu Jia and Xu Ziyan to eat at a children's restaurant and ordered all the food Xu Ziyan liked.
Gu Jia usually controls Xu Ziyan's life very strictly at home. She will not let Xu Ziyan eat many foods that she thinks are not nutritious or are bad.
But this time, she did not stop Zhou Chen, because she knew that this was the best way to make Zhou Chen and Xu Ziyan familiar with each other.
Children's thoughts are very simple. After spending an afternoon together, Xu Ziyan has developed a very good impression of Zhou Chen. Not only because Zhou Chen would take him out to play, but also because when he was tired, Zhou Chen would give him a massage, which made him feel very comfortable.
Moreover, on the way in the car, Zhou Chen held him and told him stories. They were children's stories he had never heard of before, which made him full of curiosity.
Seeing Zhou Chen teaching Xu Ziyan knowledge even while eating, Gu Jia really felt relieved.
At the same time, she was also very shocked, because Zhou Chen was obviously not married yet, let alone had no children, but the way and method he brought up the children was even more professional than that of a real mother like her. Looking at Xu Ziyan's face full of admiration and joy, she knew Zhou Chen's ability.
She may have had doubts before, but at this moment, she really didn't have any doubts at all. According to the current situation, it would probably not take long for Xu Ziyan to accept Zhou Chen.
