Xia Ran was about to take Gu Chen from him, but Gu Zheng refused.
"I can carry you."
Gu Zheng carried Gu Chen out in his arms. Xia Ran, who was still standing there, blinked. Why did he feel that A-Zheng was a little different from usual?
It seemed like her tone was much gentler than usual.
"Ranran?" Gu Zheng's questioning voice came from outside.
Xia Ran froze upon hearing the name Ranran.
But...but...?
Gu Zheng actually called him Ranran? This... this is just too much!
Xia Ran blushed furiously, but still quickly left.
Gu Zheng had already carried Gu Chen to the bed, where Gu Chen's clothes were still on the bed, but Gu Zheng didn't dare to help Gu Chen put them on because he was afraid of waking Gu Chen up.
Xia Ran didn't care about how Gu Zheng had addressed him earlier; she just quickly helped Gu Chen get dressed.
Because the act of dressing was quite large, Gu Chen made a couple of humming noises.
"Little Daddy...don't...don't leave...baby..."
Xia Ran was taken aback by these words, then smiled and replied in a low voice.
"No, Daddy will never abandon our baby."
It's unclear whether Gu Chen actually heard Xia Ran's words, but after Xia Ran finished speaking, a smile appeared on his lips, and then he continued to sleep.
Xia Ran's heart softened terribly, and Gu Zheng, watching from the side, couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Chapter 52 The Free Gift from the Shop Assistant
Ultimately, wasn't he the one closest to them?
Gu Chen is his son. Although he is nominally Xia Ran's son now, he is actually closer to Gu Chen.
Xia Ran is his partner, shouldn't they be closer to each other?
But now the two of them have an unusually good relationship, and he feels left behind and ignored by them. How can he feel comfortable about that?
After Xia Ran helped Gu Chen tuck the blanket in, he planned to go out with Gu Zheng and have a good talk with him. He couldn't let Gu Zheng feel that Xiao Chen was being biased.
But as soon as he straightened up, Gu Zheng grabbed his arm, and then he heard Gu Zheng say something that sounded a bit displeased.
Why are your clothes all wet?
Xia Ran was taken aback, then looked down at herself and found that her stomach and thighs were wet.
However, Xia Ran didn't seem to think anything of it, and simply said,
"It's nothing, I just accidentally got it on Xiao Chen while giving him a bath. Let's go out first, I have something to tell you."
Xia Ran thought Gu Zheng would agree immediately, but to her surprise, Gu Zheng frowned and spoke in a tone even more frightening than before.
"You're planning to go out and talk to me like this, wearing these wet clothes?"
“Yes…yes.” Xia Ran was a little confused, not understanding why Gu Zheng asked that.
Gu Zheng's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"Have you forgotten about the cold you caught the day before yesterday?"
Xia Ran paused, and then her face slowly turned red.
He was thinking about the day he caught a cold, but what he couldn't stop thinking about was how Gu Zheng had kissed him so recklessly that day...
Gu Zheng watched as Xia Ran's face slowly turned red, and his expression grew increasingly grim.
"Don't you know you haven't recovered from your cold for long? Look how red your face is now! Go take a bath and take some medicine."
Gu Zheng suppressed his anger and grabbed Xia Ran's arm, dragging her to the bathroom door.
Xia Ran's face was still full of doubt and confusion.
"No...it's...my pajamas..."
Xia Ran said, clinging to the door frame.
Gu Zheng released Xia Ran's hand and, with a cold face, went to get Xia Ran's pajamas.
Upon seeing the pajamas inside, Gu Zheng paused for a moment but still chose a beige SpongeBob SquarePants set.
This outfit suits him very well.
Only Gu Zheng himself knows who this "he" is.
Xia Ran watched helplessly as Gu Zheng got him some clothes, then stuffed them into his arms, pushed him into the bathroom, and closed the door.
"Let the water get a little hotter, and let him soak in it properly, so that if he catches a cold, he won't infect Xiao Chen."
Gu Zheng's voice reached Xia Ran's ears through the door, still as cold as ever, but Xia Ran could hear the worry in it.
Xia Ran hugged the pajamas in her arms, and her mind slowly came back to normal.
Thinking about everything that had just happened, he couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch his cheek. After feeling the pain, he couldn't help but laugh foolishly.
He had barely chuckled twice when he was afraid Gu Zheng would hear him, so he immediately covered his mouth, but the joy and happiness still showed in his eyes.
Was Ah Zheng just concerned about him? Was he worried about him?
Xia Ran felt as sweet as if she had eaten a jar of honey.
So going out today will not only strengthen the bond between A-Zheng and Xiao-Chen, but also strengthen the bond between him and A-Zheng?
But when he thought about how he had blushed because he was thinking about something, which made Ah Zheng think he was sick and let him come in for a bath, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
He didn't know why he was so easily embarrassed in front of Gu Zheng, even though he was a very capable person when it came to driving around with other people...
In the end, Xia Ran couldn't come up with a solution, so he could only happily take a bath. If having a cold would make A-Zheng treat him so well, he would rather have a cold forever.
Gu Zheng, who was outside the door, had no idea what Xia Ran was thinking. After hearing the sound of water, he turned around and went to the next room.
He also took the opportunity to take a shower, and then he would have a proper talk with Xia Ran later.
Gu Zheng didn't know how many people like Yu Chao were around Xia Ran, but he had to correct Xia Ran's attitude and let her know that he was a married man.
Xia Ran listened to Gu Zheng's advice and took a nice hot bath. To her surprise, she felt much better afterward.
When he came out of the bathroom, he found that Gu Zheng was no longer there.
Xia Ran was taken aback, then walked towards the door. When he got to the next room, he found that the bathroom door was closed.
Xia Ran breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out she was taking a shower.
After learning that Gu Zheng was taking a shower, Xia Ran also remembered that he hadn't put away the bag of medicine he had bought, so he went back to his room, took the bag, and put it in the cabinet in the living room on the second floor.
He neatly arranged all the medicines he bought in the cabinet, and only picked up a box at the very end.
The moment Xia Ran saw the box, she thought, "He probably didn't buy this, did he?"
But when he turned the box over and saw the words on it, he was instantly stunned, and his body froze completely.
Ultra-thin, bringing love closer together!
After seeing what it was, Xia Ran instinctively threw the box away, as if it were a hot potato.
But as fate would have it, Gu Zheng also walked by at this time.
He saw Xia Ran throw the things away and immediately said...
"What happened? Why did you throw everything away?"
As Gu Zheng spoke, he reached out to pick it up, while Xia Ran was completely stunned and immediately shouted out.
"Don't pick it up!"
Normally, he would never dare to speak to Gu Zheng in such a tone.
But he couldn't care less now. If Gu Zheng picked it up and saw what it was, he... he would be in deep trouble no matter what he did!
Actually, Gu Zheng wasn't that curious about what Xia Ran had thrown, but looking at Xia Ran's expression now, he raised an eyebrow and became a little more curious.
"You're not allowed to pick it up? Why aren't you allowed to pick it up?" Gu Zheng said as he picked up the things.
The moment Xia Ran saw Gu Zheng pick up the item, she couldn't help but close her eyes, not daring to look at Gu Zheng's reaction.
Gu Zheng had told him that they would never have a romantic relationship, although Gu Zheng had been much gentler towards him these past few days, and just now.
But Xia Ran was still very scared and uneasy. What if A Zheng saw that thing? Would he misunderstand him and get angry?
When Gu Zheng picked up the item, he curiously examined what it was.
When he saw the words clearly, his emotions were not much different from Xia Ran's earlier, but at least he managed to restrain himself from throwing the thing away.
Chapter 53 Zheng, it's not what you think.
Holding the square box, Gu Zheng's eyes changed slightly. He looked at Xia Ran, who was looking down and didn't dare to look at him, and suddenly walked over.
Xia Ran could clearly sense Gu Zheng walking towards him, and his heartbeat quickened rapidly as Gu Zheng drew closer.
The thought that Gu Zheng might misunderstand him and get angry made him feel terrible.
He's figured it out now; this must be the free gift the salesperson mentioned...
If he had known what the free gift was, he would never have accepted it!
But it's too late now; the item is already in Ah Zheng's hands.
Gu Zheng stopped in front of Xia Ran, and asked with a half-smile,
Why didn't you let me pick it up just now? Hmm?
Xia Ran froze, "I...I..."
He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single complete sentence.
He can't exactly say he doesn't want Ah Zheng to see it, can he?
But if I say that, won't Ah Zheng think I'm playing hard to get?
"Ranran..." Gu Zheng suddenly called out to Xia Ran, his voice low and even carrying a hint of laughter.
