Frau, komm mit mir nach Hause

Kapitel 1

I became the CEO's substitute for his white moonlight.

Xia Ran got together with the person she had a crush on for many years.

He secretly got together with Gu Zheng and devoted himself to taking care of Gu Zheng's child.

However, after more than a year of pouring my heart out, all I got in return was a breakup.

Looking at the man she had loved for so many years, Xia Ran smiled.

It turns out that in Gu Zheng's heart, he had always been just a servant.

As long as the person in Gu Zheng's heart comes back, he will still be kicked away without hesitation.

But after the breakup, the man started pestering him relentlessly again.

"Ranran, I was wrong. Please come back with me."

"Sir, do I know you?"

Chapter 1 Divorce

"I've already said it, your main responsibility after marrying you is to take good care of Xiao Chen. It's only been a few days and you've already sent him to the hospital. Xia Ran, if you don't do a good job, we can get a divorce right away."

In the hospital ward, a tall, handsome man with an icy expression was berating Xia Ran, his face and even his eyebrows revealing his raging anger.

Xia Ran lowered her head guiltily and whispered,

"I'm sorry, I... I didn't know that Xiao Chen has G6PD deficiency and can't eat fava beans."

"Is 'sorry' all that matters? I told you to ask Uncle Gu if you don't understand anything."

Gu Zheng still couldn't quell the anger in his heart.

Xia Ran lowered her head, her eyes red with guilt. She knew it was her fault, so she did not refute Gu Zheng's accusations.

The child, who was lying quietly on the hospital bed, suddenly reached out and took Xia Ran's hand.

Gu Zheng and Xia Ran were stunned by the child's actions. They turned to look at the child, only to find that the child was still lying quietly. If they hadn't been holding Xia Ran's little hand, they wouldn't have noticed the child's presence at all, because the child was too quiet, so quiet that he didn't seem like a normal child.

Xia Ran was the first to react.

"Ah Zheng, don't speak so loudly in front of Xiao Chen, it will scare him."

Gu Zheng glanced at Gu Chen, who was holding Xia Ran's hand, and then left the ward.

Watching Gu Zheng leave, Xia Ran's eyes were filled with disappointment.

He met Gu Zheng seven years ago when the school brought them here to take the math olympiad exam. But when the teacher took them out to play, he got separated from the group and was bullied by some thugs. Gu Cheng happened to pass by and saved him.

He also fell in love with Gu Cheng at first sight. For Gu Cheng's sake, he applied to the university here, secretly paid attention to Gu Cheng, and worked hard to get an internship at Gu Cheng's company, just so he could be closer to Gu Cheng.

Just five days ago, a huge surprise fell on his head. That evening, when he was leaving get off work, he unexpectedly ran into Gu Zheng on the street with a child. The child kept crying, and Gu Zheng couldn't handle it, so he couldn't help but go over and help Gu Zheng soothe the child.

Because of this coaxing, Gu Zheng said he wanted to marry him, and that the condition for marriage was that he could use his money unconditionally. However, the two of them would not have feelings for each other, and would only be a couple in name only. After marriage, his main task would be to take care of the children.

He was so surprised and agreed without thinking. The next morning, they got their marriage certificate. Apart from the day they got the certificate, Gu Zheng appeared once and said a few things to him. After that, he never showed up again until now.

The reason they were at the hospital was because Xia Ran didn't know Gu Chen had G6PD deficiency and had taken him out to play and let him eat G6PD deficiency.

Xia Ran looked down at the quiet child on the hospital bed, who was unusually quiet. The child was very quiet, neither speaking nor laughing, and was only four years old. Gu Zheng had told him that the child had a condition similar to autism.

Gu Zheng married him because he needed someone to take care of Xiao Chen.

He has always liked children, and now that this child is Gu Zheng's, he likes him even more, so he has been treating him like his own son these past few days.

"Chenchen, you're amazing! You just saved your dad."

He lowered his head and spoke softly to Gu Chen, his tone gentle and his eyes full of affection. He even kissed Gu Chen's soft little face.

However, Gu Chen on the hospital bed seemed not to hear Xia Ran's words. He just kept his head down quietly, but a strange look flashed in his eyes and disappeared in an instant. Xia Ran naturally did not hear it.

Gu Chen gradually fell asleep. Xia Ran wanted to go find Gu Zheng, but she was worried about Gu Chen, so she decided to stay in the ward.

Gu Zheng went to the outer corridor, his whole body exuding displeasure. Just then, the butler, Uncle Gu, returned from asking the doctor about the situation and ran into Gu Zheng.

"Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Uncle Gu, do you think it was a mistake for me to marry Xia Ran? He can't even take good care of Xiao Chen."

“Young Master, please don’t say that. Actually, Young Master Ran really cares about Xiao Chen a lot. I’ve seen it all. This incident can’t be blamed on him at all. After all, it was us who didn’t tell Xiao Chen about this illness.”

“Young Master, to be honest, I didn’t like Xia Ran at first either, but I was moved by how good he was to Xiao Chen every day. Although… he looks a lot like Xiao…, their personalities are different. I think he is more suitable to be Xiao Chen’s other father, and Xiao Chen needs him too.”

Uncle Gu is said to be the Gu family's butler, but he was adopted by the Gu family when he was a child, so he is also a member of the Gu family, which is why he doesn't need to be so polite when speaking to him.

Gu Zheng knew what Gu Bo meant by the unspoken words. Indeed, a large part of the reason he chose to marry Xia Ran was because Xia Ran looked very much like that person.

Another reason is that he had actually noticed Xia Ran a long time ago. Xia Ran thought he didn't know that he was spying on him, but he had always known. As for the incident before the wedding where he was holding Xiao Chen and Xia Ran encountered him, that was also arranged by him.

Xia Ran's actions in coaxing Xiao Chen at the time did indeed please him, and that was why he married Xia Ran.

After Uncle Gu returned to his ward, Gu Zheng went to smoke a cigarette and then also returned to his ward.

Xia Ran's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Gu Zheng enter. Uncle Gu glanced at the two of them and tactfully left the ward.

"Ah Zheng, don't be angry anymore. I'll be more careful in the future."

Xia Ran mustered up his courage and tugged at Gu Zheng's clothes. Actually, he wanted to hold his hand more, but he didn't have the courage.

Looking down at Xia Ran, Gu Zheng's eyes flickered for a moment, then he gave a soft "hmm".

Faced with those eyes, that face so similar to that person's, he couldn't bring himself to be cruel.

"The doctor said he's fine. Why don't we take Xiao Chen home? It's not good for him to stay in the hospital for too long."

"Um."

Gu Zheng went out first, and Xia Ran picked up Gu Chen and ran after him. Gu Zheng, who was in front, noticed the situation behind him and slowed down.

Xia Ran had been paying attention to Gu Zheng, so she was quite happy at this moment. Gu Zheng was actually a pretty good person.

The two got into the car. Xia Ran sat in the back seat so she could take better care of the child, while Gu Zheng drove himself.

The two remained silent the entire way home.

"Give the child to Uncle Gu, I have something to say to you."

Upon entering the living room, Gu Zheng spoke calmly, and Xia Ran responded by handing the child to Uncle Gu, who had returned earlier.

But Gu Chen, who usually doesn't react, was now holding Xia Ran's neck tightly and wouldn't let go.

Xia Ran, Gu Cheng, and Uncle Gu were all stunned.

"Xiao Chen, are you... reluctant to part with your little dad?"

A note from the author:

Chapter 2 Who is that person?

Xia Ran's voice was somewhat excited. Not to mention that Gu Chen hadn't reacted at all during the many days he had been with Gu Chen, even Uncle Gu and the others, who had been with Gu Chen for so many years, had never seen Gu Chen like this.

Gu Zheng was slightly distracted. So, would finding someone who looks like that person really be good for Xiao Chen?

Gu Chen did not answer, his eyes and expression remaining unchanged, but Xia Ran, whose neck was being held, clearly sensed that Gu Chen was different.

But now he has to talk to Ah Zheng.

"Xiao Chen, be a good boy and let Grandpa hold you for a while, okay? Little Daddy has something to tell Big Daddy."

As Xia Ran spoke, she handed the child to Uncle Gu. Uncle Gu tried to take the child, and thankfully, Gu Chen did not resist. He just glanced at Xia Ran and then lowered his head to play with his fingers.

Gu Zheng also came to his senses, and with a cold face and pursed lips, he went up to the study on the second floor. Xia Ran saw this and quickly followed him.

This was the first time he had been alone in the same room with Gu Zheng, and Xia Ran's face felt a little hot.

“We both share responsibility for this incident, but we don’t want it to happen again. If you’re unsure whether Xiao Chen can eat it, call Uncle Gu and ask him. You know we got married for Xiao Chen’s sake.”

"I know."

Xia Ran nodded without hesitation. He had never forgotten, but he also held onto hope, firmly believing that he would win A-Zheng's heart.

Gu Zheng glanced at Xia Ran and then left. He originally had some warning words to say to Xia Ran, but Xiao Chen's reaction just now made him realize that he couldn't say those words.

Because Xiao Chen still can't live without Xia Ran, and he... would never let Xia Ran, who has a face similar to that person, leave.

Xia Ran watched Gu Zheng's departing figure, his lips twitching a few times. Before he could speak, Gu Zheng's figure disappeared in front of him. He sighed in disappointment, but quickly regained his energy and cheered himself up.

"Xia Ran, you can do it! You can definitely win Zheng's heart!"

He turned to leave the study, but in that instant, he saw a group photo on the desk.

The picture showed Gu Zheng and another boy. Xia Ran walked over curiously and picked it up to look at it.

Gu Zheng in the photo looks a bit younger than he does now. Although he still has a cold and aloof face, there is a hint of tenderness in his eyes when he looks at the boy next to him.

Xia Ran was stunned. He had been paying attention to Gu Zheng for so many years, but he had never seen this side of Gu Zheng before.

"What are you doing?"

Gu Zheng's cold, furious voice came from the doorway, startling Xia Ran so much that the photo frame in her hand fell to the ground.

With a loud crash, the sound of the picture frame shattering brought an eerie silence to the study.

"Who gave you permission to take my things without permission!"
