My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 94: 94: Being Cured_1

“Yes!”

He went straight to the self-checkout station.

After paying the bill, he headed for the exit.

“Hold this for me!”

Busy on the phone, he stuffed the bag of candy back into my hands.

I opened the bag to confirm, again and again.

Yes, it was!

This colorful pile, was indeed candy.

There were chocolates, lollipops, fruit candy, and marshmallows.

He bought several pounds, it was heavy to hold in my hand.

I thought about it carefully, and couldn’t recall him having a particular fondness for candy.

After finishing his call, he looked at me from the entrance of the shopping mall.

“President Gu, eating so much candy will probably lead to diabetes!”

I probed him a little.

Gu Yuanzhou waved his hand.

“It’s not for me to eat!”

“Then, who will it be for?”

Instead of answering me, he walked towards the children’s playground.

Once he reached the entrance, he turned to me, “Distribute these candies to the children!”

“President Gu, what’s the meaning of doing this?”

“Just do it!”

He did not answer my reason.

Walking into this castle-like children’s playground, to be honest, I was feeling a bit heavy-hearted.

These lively and adorable children reminded me of joyous times I had glimpsed in the past.

However, knowing that Gu Yuanzhou was watching me from behind, I could not disobey his sage.

In my daze, a lovely little girl walked up to me, fixated on the candy in my hand.

“Sister, can I have a lollipop?”

Only then did I squat down, reaching out to pinch her little face. “Little friend, what is your name?”

“I am called Xiaogu!”

“Good girl. Here, this is for you!”

I handed a lollipop to the young girl, she accepted the candy, sincerely thanked me, and even praised my dress.

“Sister, your dress is so beautiful!”

“Do you like it?”

“Yes, can I touch it?”

“Sure!”

The little girl came forward and touched my dress. The moment her little hand touched my body, tears suddenly filled my eyes.

The little girl looked up at me, seeing me crying, she anxiously pulled my hand. “Sister, what’s wrong?”

I slowly squatted down, “Xiaogu, can I hug you?”

“Of course!”

So, I hugged that small, soft body. At that moment, I felt a sense of healing.

I had no idea that a child could break through my defenses like this.

I was worried about frightening her, so I only hugged her for a little while before letting go.

But she reached out and gently wiped the tears from my face.

“Sister, why are you crying so sadly?”

“Mm, I lost two people who I loved very much, they were just as adorable as you…” I choked.

“Then I will hug you again!”

The little girl hugged me again, then reassured me in a babyish voice,

“Sister, I love my Grandma very much, but she has also passed away. But Mommy told me, after the people we love the most die, they become stars in the sky watching over us. If we miss them, we just have to look at the stars, and we can see them.”

I had never imagined that I could be healed by a child.

“Thank you.”

“Sister, when you are unhappy, just have a lollipop! Then you can be happy again!”

“Mm, alright!”

“Sister, I’m going to play!”

I watched as the little girl joined the other children, and shortly after, many more kids came over for candy. I distributed it to them one by one.

In less than ten minutes, I had given out all the candy in the bag.

Suddenly, I gazed into a corner of my mind, why did this little girl call herself Xiaogu?

What did that name mean?

When I wanted to find her again to ask for clarity, she had already disappeared.

For a moment, I even thought, could it be that my daughter was reincarnated, and had come to comfort me?

Once again, tears filled my eyes. I opened the bag, took out the last lollipop, unwrapped it, put it in my mouth, and the sweet taste swept over my taste buds.

A gentle hand patted my back, pulling me out of my thoughts.

I turned my head. It was Gu Yuanzhou.

His eyes were intently watching me.

“Why are you crying?”

Randomly wiping the tear stains from my cheeks, I came up with a clumsy reason.

“I remembered when I was a child, I wanted to go to the amusement park, but not only did my Dad disapprove, but he also chased me around half the village with a stick…”

This was a story I heard from a friend, which I conveniently applied to myself.

After listening, Gu Yuanzhou’s eyes revealed a hint of doubt.

“Was your childhood very unfortunate?”

“As you can see, my Mum and Dad are like that, they do favor boys over girls, and we were quite poor… If there was anything good to eat, it was given to my younger brother first, and only after he had eaten, would it be my turn. The clothes I wore were also my younger brother’s hand-me-downs…”

“Can you cook?”

He asked again.

“Uh, to cook, I can’t!”

“Alright, let’s go.”

Gu Yuanzhou didn’t say much else. He seemed rather quiet after getting in the car.

But I kept thinking, why did he randomly have me distribute candy to those children? What did he mean?

I couldn’t understand, but I had a bad premonition.

That is, Gu Yuanzhou seemed to be deliberately trying to get closer to me.

When we got to the company, he instructed me directly.

“You’ll move into my office from now on!”

Previously, I was still working in my original small office space, and only went to the CEO’s office when delivering documents or summoned by Gu Yuanzhou.

“President Gu, won’t that be inappropriate?”

He pointed to a faraway reception area where coffee and tea were usually served. “I’ll have someone come and fix it up later. You’ll work there.”

This sudden change left me a bit flustered.

If I move here to work, I’ll have to face him every day!

By then, I’m afraid it will be difficult to conceal my feelings…

So right then and there, I refused. “President Gu, won’t it be better if I work in my current office!”

Gu Yuanzhou glanced at me. “Double your salary next month!”

“That’s not what I meant, I think…”

“Alright, it’s settled then!”

He forcefully cut off my words, completely ignoring what I had to say.

That evening, I met with Wenya and told her all about what Gu Yuanzhou had done throughout the day.

After Wenya listened, she also had some doubts.

“Could it be that he suspects you? After all, by keeping you by his side, he’ll be able to see right through you day and night!”

Jian Jing sipped her tea and responded indifferently.

“Suspects what? That after Ayun died, she was reincarnated? Honestly, if I hadn’t witnessed it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it.”

Right, unless somebody has genuinely seen someone reincarnated, who’d think of such a possibility.

Wenya suddenly had a thought, “Perhaps, there’s another possibility!”
