Burn one's bridges after crossing the river

  The temperature dropped by 10 degrees as soon as they saw "just love reading". The diurnal temperature difference is huge. They rushed out just now and didn't bring anything. Gu Xi went to the supermarket at the hospital to buy a blanket, which he wrapped around them.

  Then Gu Xi sat down and patted Lv Qingyan's back.

  The doctor came out, and Gu Xi supported Lv Qingyan as they immediately went forward, "Doctor, is the old man okay?"

  "It's okay, we've already done a full body check on Old Man Gu and there's nothing wrong. He just can't get up because his right leg is twisted, but it's fine now. After resting for a bit, he can go home."

  Everyone let out a sigh of relief, especially Lü Qingyan, who was tense one moment and relaxed the next, her body going limp for a second.

  "Mother, sit down quickly." Gu Xi hurriedly supported her.

  The footsteps from the other side of the corridor were so urgent, representing the tense mood of the approaching person.

  Gu Mo rushed over, his forehead was sweating, it was clear he had hurried over.

  "What's going on? Where's Dad?" He asked anxiously, his face no longer able to conceal his concern.

  Lü Qingyan stood up, "Your dad is fine now, he's resting inside."

  "I'll go take a look," said Gu Mo, glancing at Si Mian who was standing silently beside him, before quickly pushing open the door and entering.

  Lü Qingyan and Gu Xi also followed in, while Si Yunjing stood quietly at the door, through which she could see how warm and harmonious this family was.

  Although Gu Mo usually loves to pick on Gu Qi, it hasn't affected the father-son relationship. At critical moments, that concern would be very clearly revealed.

  She really envies this atmosphere, with a family's heart all gathered together.

  She used to have one, but it was destroyed later. She remembered that night when she helped Si Dawei find a place to live for several hours, and he even drove her away with disdain. Her heart didn't even have the strength to hurt anymore.

  Originally, Gu Qi could have been discharged from the hospital, but Gu Mo said, "It's already 3 am, it's a hassle to go back and forth, why not just stay here for the night and go back tomorrow?"

  Gu Mo said this with a very patriarchal demeanor.

  "Gu Xi, take mom back first, I'll stay here and keep watch." Gu Mo said calmly.

  "Alright, I'll go prepare some supplements and bring them over tomorrow morning." Lü Qingyan knew that if she stayed behind, they would end up having to take care of her instead. She didn't want to cause any trouble, so when she saw Si Mian standing there motionless, she reached out and took his hand. "Your hands are freezing, hurry back and rest, you've had a tough night."

  "Mom, I'll stay behind, you go back and rest." Si Mian escorted her out.

  Lü Qingyan felt relieved seeing her being so sensible, and her impression of her lessened a bit. She patted her hand and then got into the car.

  Turning back, Si Mian saw Gu Mo consulting with the doctor in the corridor. In the ward, Gu Qi sat on the bed, looking relatively fine.

  She pushed open the door and went in. Gu Qi saw that she was still there and was slightly surprised, "Why are you still here?"

  "Stay and chat with me for a while." Si Mian smiled and sat down in the chair beside the bed.

  "Ah, no need, it's nothing major, I don't even care about this little injury, as long as I won't die, it's all good." Gu Qi was quite unconcerned.

  Si Mian smiled slightly, this old man Gu is still not willing to admit defeat, Gu Mo and he are indeed father and son.

  As soon as he saw her smile, Gu Qi became excited. "What are you laughing at? Originally, when I was a soldier, my hands were broken, but I still wrapped them in bandages and continued to train specially. Who would give you a day off? Soldiers are made of iron."

  "Yes, yes, I believe" Si Wei hurriedly nodded with a suppressed smile.

  Gu Qi was displeased, "Hmph, I know you don't believe me"

  "No, I believe it, I really believe it," said Si Meng. She believed it just because of Gu Mo's character after being trained by her.

  "I don't believe it"

  This old man's temper is really strange, does she want to swear a poisonous oath?

  "Dad, are you thirsty? I'll peel an apple for you."

  While chatting with Gu Qi, sometimes he could even make Gu Qi's serious face smile.

  Seeing him smile, Si Mian also smiled with narrowed eyes, looking exceptionally sweet.

  "Dad, have an apple." Si Mian handed one over to him.

  The Gu family was a renowned and respected clan, with generations of daughters-in-law being knowledgeable and refined. However, she broke this tradition, not only being born into a humble background but also having only graduated from a third-rate vocational school.

  How embarrassing for the family to spread this out, and they actually chose such a daughter-in-law after careful consideration.

  Gu Qi was a soldier when he was young and had some traditional ideas. For him, no matter what he did, he had to consider the reputation of the Gu family first.

  But at this moment, Gu Qi looked at her and suddenly felt that this daughter-in-law was not as bad as he had imagined. Although she grew up in such an environment, she was still quite filial and sensible.

  Forget it, forget it, if you don't understand, teach; if you can't, learn. If you lack noble qualities, work hard to cultivate them.

  Moreover, the marriage has already been settled, what else can he do? Forcing Gu Mo to divorce is impossible. If it gets out, it will be a huge scandal. More importantly, Gu Qi thinks that Si Man is not beyond salvation and with some nurturing, she still has potential to become his ideal daughter-in-law.

  "Now Gu Mo is not here, there's something I'd like to ask for your opinion, you be honest with me"

  Si Mian had a smile all over her face, looking at him expectantly with sparkling eyes. "Dad, go ahead and say it, I'm listening."

  Seeing her smile so brightly, Gu Qi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. "Alright then, I'll ask... are you guys using birth control?" After saying that, Gu Qi awkwardly coughed twice.

  This matter shouldn't be asked of her, but asking that little brat Gu Mo would definitely not get an honest answer, so it's better to ask the wife who looks more sincere.

  The bright smile immediately turned into a dry laugh, "Hehe..." How should I respond to this?

  "What are you laughing at? Husband and wife getting married is a normal thing, what's there to laugh about?" Gu Qi was annoyed.

  Don't even mention contraception, they didn't even have a relationship in the first place, but Si Mian doesn't dare say that, if he did, it would be earth-shattering.

  "No, nothing..." murmured Hu Zhuo.

  "It's better this way, I should be able to hold my grandson soon"

  Cai Mian could only force a few dry smiles, having children was such a distant thing, she had never thought about it, giving birth to a child meant that her future life would revolve around the family, just thinking about it was terrifying, no way.

  After Gu Qi rested, Si Mian went out and Gu Mo casually asked, "What were you guys talking about in there just now?"

  "No, nothing." She shook her head quickly.

  She didn't want to tell him, how embarrassing.

  Gu Mo raised his head and glanced at her, no longer asking her anything.

  After sending Lü Qingyan back home, Gu Xi came to the hospital and asked Gu Mo to take Si Mian back to rest first.

  "Call me anytime if there's an emergency"

  "Alright, bro, hurry back home, it's a bit chilly outside, your wife is wearing too little and will catch a cold."

  "En" Gu Mo nodded slightly and then said to Si Mian, "Let's go."

  She hadn't even walked outside yet, but she could already vaguely feel the cold wind blowing in, and her hands rubbed against her arms.

  Gu Mo took off his jacket and handed it to her, with a hint of command in his tone, "Put it on".

  Inside his suit, he was only wearing a thin shirt. He's human too and would feel the cold. Si Mian shook his head, "I'm wearing two shirts, I'm not cold."

  "Put it on when I tell you to put it on." The overbearing tone was several degrees heavier.

  This girl has a cold and hasn't recovered yet, but she doesn't know how to take care of her own body and is still trying to show off in front of him.

  "Wow..." He yelled at her, and Si Mian hurriedly put it on. Whoosh! Suddenly she wasn't cold anymore. The things that Gu Da Shu used were really good.

  One piece of clothing is worth two pieces. The heavenly wind blows and supports her to the extreme.

  "Still cold?" He asked her with his hands in his pockets and his head tilted.

  "It's no longer cold, it's warm and cozy." She smiled slightly.

  Gu Méi returned to his cool demeanor, "Since it's no longer cold, let's hurry up"

  He walked ahead with big strides, while she followed behind him in small runs, looking at his back, she felt that Uncle Gu still cared about her.
