Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Gu Xie’s gaze was a little dim.

Seeing how the brothers were harmonious and respectful towards each other, Shen Qianshu’s heart was filled with warmth. This was how the Gu Family was supposed to be like—even though not everyone was perfect, even though Fifth Brother was sick, they still loved each other.

Second Old Master Gu said, “Little Fifth, if you wish to go outdoors, Father and your brothers will not stop you as long as you feel that you can adjust. Take care to not force yourself and let those following you to pay more attention.”

“I know, Father. I want to return to my room.”

Second Old Master Gu said, “Sure, then go and rest. Don’t think too much.”

Fifth Brother was a bit uncomfortable and returned to his room after greeting his siblings. Shen Qianshu was slightly worried. Gu Xie said, “Little Shu, don’t worry. We’ll take good care of Fifth Brother.”

“How’s Mom?”

Second Old Master Gu sighed. “Still no hints of recovery.”

She could hear people talking but remained unconscious.

Shen Qianshu caressed Fang Hongxiu’s icy hands. “Father, you can play some of Mom’s favorite music or talk about your past stories. Maybe that will work.”

“I always accompanied and talked to her. Occasionally, she would tap against my palm lightly. She can hear, but her body is still unwell. I am very worried. There’s no problem with the antidote. Maybe she’s just been unconscious for too many years and needs more time.”

Gu Yuanli lowered his head guiltily. A light breeze blew gently, and his pale face could barely be concealed.

Shen Qianshu was a bit helpless. “Father, brother, take it slow. We have waited for more than twenty years. Waiting a few more days is insignificant.”

With eyes filled with deep affection, Second Old Master Gu caressed Fang Hongxiu’s long hair gently. “Yes, I think that way too. More than twenty years have passed. I don’t care about these few days.”

Shen Qianshu’s phone rang.

Chen Wanwan had called that B Family’s Public Relation’s manager had come looking. She said, “Let them wait. I’m busy at this moment.”

“Do I reject them or make another appointment?”

Shen Qianshu snapped her fingers gently. “Make another appointment. For all these years, B Family’s public relations department has always been unobstructed in the Central Asia region. I’m afraid that they have forgotten their manners, so why don’t you educate them properly? When we couples date, we need to make an appointment, wash our hair, put make-up on, dress well, and make sure everything’s settled before going out. We have to be even more careful when negotiating big projects. Talk to them politely—they are impolite, but we are courteous.”

Chen Wanwan’s laughter traveled across the phone. “Hahaha, okay, I understand. I’ll make an appointment with them once again.”

Shen Qianshu hung up. Second Old Master Gu’s gaze was filled with contempt. “Father has heard about your jewelry show. Let your Second Brother deal with it. He will settle it well. You don’t have to waste your efforts on it anymore.”

“Father, I can handle it well. This is my job. Second Brother is overwhelmed with work every day. He doesn’t have to care about these little issues.”

A hint of laughter lingered in Gu Yuanli’s eyes. “Little Shu, your issues are major issues. Ghost City’s stuff is not important.”

Second Old Master Gu nodded in agreement. Fourth Brother and Gu Xie at the side also felt that Little Shu’s issues were the important ones.

Shen Qianshu did not know if she should laugh or cry. “If all of you pamper me like that, you will spoil me like a big baby.”

“What’s wrong with being a big baby? We, the Gu Family, can afford it.” Second Old Master Gu had never done anything for her. He wished that she was a big baby so that they could take care of her.

Shen Qianshu raised her hands in defeat and was extremely helpless. “Father, Brother, let me off. If I need it, I’ll definitely seek your help. Now, there’s nothing urgent, so I can handle it by myself.”
