C30 Have Improved
After Gu Qianbei washed up, he changed into a set of clean clothes that Soong Qingnuan had prepared for him. Just as he was about to quietly leave the Soong Family Big House, he was stopped by Soong Qingnuan.
"Your wound is inflamed. You need to change your medicine."
She was wearing a black woven dress, and her tall figure was standing in front of him. There was a hint of worry between her brows.
Gu Qianbei liked to see her eyes and was moved by her words.
He had even learned to take the initiative to pay attention to his physical condition. This was a huge improvement in their relationship.
He did not say much and just nodded.
"Alright."
He thought that she would go get the medicine box, but she had a guilty look on her face, and her expression seemed to be avoiding it, as if she was embarrassed.
"But we don't have any medicine boxes at home. We need to go to the hospital."
Gu Qianbei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He silently nodded and followed her out of the Soong Family.
While driving to the hospital, Gu Qianbei sat in the back seat and stared at her driving back with a faint smile.
The two of them didn't speak a word in the car, but they no longer felt awkward and strange like before.
Soong Qingnuan didn't expect the hospital to be packed with people today. Many of them were wearing masks as they lined up in the main hall.
She rarely came to the hospital, so she was a little unfamiliar with her surroundings.
"Wait a moment, I'll go register."
Gu Qianbei rarely became obedient, so he walked over in a gentle manner and sat on the stainless steel chair in the hall.
He even intentionally left a spot for Soong Qingnuan to sit, silently leaning against the back of the chair.
Suddenly, the seat next to her was taken by a young mother who was holding a three-year-old child in her arms.
"I'm sorry, but can I trouble you to take a look for me? I'm going over there to get the medicine. It'll only take a moment!"
The woman's voice sounded anxious and excited, her eyes hopeful.
Perhaps the clothes Gu Qianbei wore were rather casual, but his entire body emitted a sense of affinity.
Facing the pleading of the woman, he glanced at the sickly child, his heart softened, and he nodded in agreement.
The child was placed beside him, its large watery eyes staring fixedly at him.
He could not bear the loneliness. He could not put on a cold front towards his children, so he stretched out his hand and waved.
"Hello!"
Gu Qianbei liked children very much. However, he didn't have much affinity with them and didn't have much contact with them.
The last time he had a good time with Soong Qingnuan's little brother, it had made him very happy.
His big hand was resting lightly on the child's forehead. It was only then that he realized he had a fever. No wonder his mother looked so anxious.
"Uncle …"
The boy had only grown a few teeth when he suddenly smiled at him, and his chubby face finally looked alive.
Seeing the child smile so lovingly, his mood also became cheerful, hugging the child on his lap and secretly making several faces to amuse him.
Sure enough, children were easily amused by this move. They even intimately touched his face and giggled.
Soong Qingnuan, who had already hung up the number, was searching for Gu Qianbei's location in the hall. Suddenly, she saw a man holding a child in his arms, making fun of her. She couldn't help but smile.
Was this man still the Gu Qianbei she knew? If anyone from the Gu's were to see this, they would probably be as surprised as she was.
However, she had to admit that Gu Qianbei was quite good at bringing his children. He could even play with Little Jun, whose family was not easy to be happy about.
In Soong Qingnuan's impression, Gu Qianbei had always been ice-cold. The gentleness on the surface was, in fact, a sign of a gap in the human heart. Seeing him act so tenderly this time, she unconsciously changed her impression of him.
The warmth from his palm pulled Soong Qingnuan back from her thoughts. She lowered her head and met a pair of big, watery eyes.
"Is big sister your uncle's girlfriend?"
Before she could explain, she heard Gu Qianbei's low, yet very magnetic voice.
"What are you thinking about?"
Soong Qingnuan's eyes swept across Gu Qianbei's face, looking worriedly at the person in front of her. For a moment, his breath smelled cold.
"No …." "No." Soong Qingnuan noticed her impoliteness and quickly tilted her bright red face. How could she have been lost in thought?
Gu Qianbei gestured for the child to turn around, then smiled as he leaned close to Soong Qingnuan's ear. He said lightly, "If you keep staring at me, I'll think too much about it, Miss Soong."
