A Girl and Her Best Friends Time Travel to Ancient Times-Chapter 177: Sister, you are so sweet.
Chapter 177
Sang Li took time off and stayed in the hospital for three days.
Gu Zhi took care of her at the hospital the whole time. During this time, Sang Li also learned about his past experiences from Gu Zhi.
The reason why he got caught up in the disputes of the Gu family was that he was indeed adopted by a woman at the beginning, and that woman was the real illegitimate child's mother of the Gu family!
"But why did she adopt you?" Sang Li asked doubtfully.
"Actually, I wasn't very clear about why she adopted me at the beginning, but in order to adapt to life here as soon as possible, I still went with her. But...I later discovered that she adopted me just to use me as a pawn to seize the Gu family property."
Gu Zhi said lightly, without much emotional fluctuation, "She did give birth to a son for the Gu family. It's just that her son died in a traffic accident, so she came to the orphanage to adopt me. I was similar in age and looked a little like her son.”
“I see...”
Gu Zhi chuckled. “She colluded with people around the Gu family and sent me into the Gu family to be their puppet. I was only eight or nine years old at that time, just a kid in their eyes, so naturally they thought I would be easy to control.”
"Didn't the Gu family do a paternity test?"
"Of course there was one, but the final result was made to disappear. Gu Jianguo was convinced about my identity.”
Sang Li seemed to understand something. “So...were you taking advantage of them when you deliberately entered the Gu family?”
"Sister..." Gu Zhi looked at her with a smile. “The Gu family business is huge, even if I'm an illegitimate child, I would still get a good education and training. And...how could I pave the way for your future if I didn't?” They treated me as a pawn, and I just treated them as a few pawns.”
It turned out that while they thought Gu Zhi was an obedient dog, he was actually a lurking wolf.
At this moment, Sang Li's phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was Yang Xu calling.
He said he came to the hospital to visit her.
No one at the company knows that Sang Li is pregnant now. They all think she is just sick.
Soon after hanging up the phone, Yang Xu arrived at the ward carrying things.
Gu Zhi glanced at him without saying anything, obediently sitting next to Sang Li and peeling apples for her.
Yang Xu also glanced at Gu Zhi. He didn’t expect someone else to be taking care of Sang Li in the ward. Originally, when Sang Li asked for leave, he was going to come and take care of her, but was rejected by Sang Li.
"Sang Li, who is this little brother?" Yang Xu couldn't help asking as he put down his things.
Gu Zhi's apple-peeling hand paused. He looked at Yang Xu with a harmless smile. “Hello, uncle. I'm my sister's boyfriend.”
Yang Xu was left speechless by Gu Zhi calling him "uncle". He was several years older than Sang Li, already in his thirties.
But more than being called "uncle", he was even more shocked by the words "boyfriend"!
"Is this...true?" Yang Xu looked at Sang Li in disbelief. "Sang Li, is what he said true?"
"Yes, he is my boyfriend." Sang Li said.
"But he looks...quite young."
"Uncle, just because I'm young doesn't mean everything else is small." Gu Zhi refuted with a smile. “It’s already this era, uncle. You’re still being ageist? Aren't sister-brother relationships popular these days? Uncle, you are behind the times.”
"..." Yang Xu was rendered speechless by being called "uncle" repeatedly.
"Uncle, would you like a green apple? Let me peel one for you?"
"No need." Yang Xu's face didn't look good. He looked at Sang Li, "Sang Li, although who you date is your freedom, as a friend I still want to remind you not to be fooled by some boy's sweet talk."
Sang Li politely said, "President Yang, I appreciate you coming to the hospital to see me, but please don't bother with my private affairs."
"Huh? Uncle, did I offend you? Why are you saying bad things about me in front of my sister?" Gu Zhi fed Sang Li a piece of apple. “Sister, have I tried to charm you with sweet words?”
Sang Li couldn't help laughing. She reached out and pinched his face, whispered in his ear, "No sweet words, but plenty of sweet nothings.”
Seeing them like this, Yang Xu couldn’t stand staying there any longer. “Sang Li, since you’re fine now, I’ll get going first.”
"Uncle, I'll walk you out!" Gu Zhi said as he followed Yang Xu out of the ward.
Once outside, Gu Zhi’s smile disappeared from his face. He looked at Yang Xu with scrutiny. “You were the one who tried to curse my sister before, right?”
When Yang Xu entered, Gu Zhi had already noticed. The bell on Sang Li’s hand had a warning effect. The bell was connected to the Gu worm in his body.
"What...what are you talking about? I don't understand." Yang Xu said somewhat guiltily.
"Hm!" Gu Zhi sneered. “Uncle, since you failed to curse my sister, don't you know which body the Gu worm drilled into? Has it been bothering you a lot lately?”
Yang Xu looked at Gu Zhi in disbelief. The Gu worm had accidentally crawled into a bald subordinate's pants. And in the past few days, that bald subordinate's certain behaviors towards him had indeed been...quite abnormal.
But how could he possibly admit that in front of Gu Zhi?
"I don't know what you're talking about." Yang Xu said coldly. “Kid, what do you have besides being young? Do you have a house? Do you have a car? Do you have a career? How long do you think you can charm her with that face?”
Gu Zhi didn’t care about what he said. Instead, he asked again, “Really don’t know?”
He slowly stretched out his finger, and an identical bug crawled out from Gu Zhi’s middle finger. “Uncle, look, does this bug look familiar?”
Yang Xu was so scared that he took two steps back. All his earlier arrogance was gone. “Who...who exactly are you?”
Gu Zhi retracted his hand and smiled at him. “Uncle, I'm my sister's boyfriend! With this face, I can charm her for a lifetime!”
“You...” Yang Xu felt that the seemingly harmless person in front of him was strangely terrifying.
He knew Gu Zhi was warning him, so he immediately said, "Don't worry, since Sang Li already has a boyfriend, I won't get close to her again."
"Sang Li? You call her that too?" Gu Zhi's smile disappeared as he said coldly.
"No...I mean Ms. Sang!" Yang Xu immediately corrected himself.
"Uncle, that’s right. Have a nice day." After saying that, Gu Zhi turned around and went back to the ward.
Yang Xu let out a sigh of relief and immediately fled the hospital.
In the ward.
Sang Li looked at him somewhat amused. “Gu Zhi, you didn’t...go out and warn him, did you?”
"Sister..." Gu Zhi sat down looking rather aggrieved. He deliberately said, "He said I have no house, no car, and no career. He said I was just trying to seduce you with this face!”
"Pfft..." Sang Li couldn't help laughing. She reached out and pinched his face. "This face...is quite good-looking indeed.”
As she spoke, Sang Li lightly pecked his lips.
Looking at her lips, Gu Zhi couldn't help but swallow. He hoarsely said, "Sister...you're pregnant now, so we can't be intimate anymore, right?"
Sang Li kissed him again and laughed. “Yes, so we can only kiss now.”
Gu Zhi was a little dissatisfied. “Sister, you're doing that on purpose!”
Sang Li was determined to tease him. “Yes, I did it on purpose. So what are you going to do about it?”
"Sister, you're so bad..." Gu Zhi said with a smile as he kissed her lips.
Sister, you taste so sweet.
...
After Sang Li was discharged from the hospital, she took Gu Zhi back to her home. Her parents didn't live in this city, so she usually lived alone.
Ever since Gu Zhi learned how to cook, he loved making all kinds of weird and wonderful dishes, but without exception they were all nutritious things good for pregnant women.
After Sang Li started working, Gu Zhi took care of her daily necessities attentively.
Except for cooking time, Gu Zhi would spend almost all his time at home dealing with work.
Sang Li didn't expect that the mysterious boss behind Ion Group was actually Gu Zhi!
The dessert shop downstairs called First Sight was also opened by Gu Zhi. It was mainly to disguise his identity. He often pretended to work there, but was actually working inside.
Sang Li thought, he must have suffered a lot in the past? He was not well regarded in the Gu family, but secretly did so many things.
Although Gu Zhi was not short of money in the Gu family, and that woman never stinted on giving him money in order to keep him, he had been secretly saving money on his own all this time.
At one point Gu Zhi invested all his money into the company. He couldn't even afford meals at school. Fortunately, a classmate at that time would share half of his meal with Gu Zhi every meal, which helped him get through that period.
That classmate was also an unfortunate person. His parents were divorced. No one took care of him. At home, only a grandmother supported his education. His family conditions were very poor to begin with, and his living expenses were very little.
During holidays and weekends, the two would work part-time jobs together. Chen Lin was the only close friend Gu Zhi made since coming here. Now Chen Lin was also helping Gu Zhi manage the company openly, while Gu Zhi worked in the dark. They succeeded each other.
He was also very grateful to Gu Zhi for helping him achieve financial freedom before the age of 25.
......
A month later, Sang Li's physical condition had improved a lot, and the fetus was very stable. Everything was normal at the prenatal checkup.
When they just came out of the hospital after the checkup, Gu Zhi happily pulled her onto the car.
Gu Zhi was visibly in a good mood, which made Sang Li a little puzzled, "Gu Zhi, what happened? Why are you so happy?"
Gu Zhi looked at her and approached her with some indecent intentions, "Sister... why don't you seduce me?"
Sang Li was stunned. During this period, Sang Li would tease him from time to time. Once Gu Zhi endured until his eyes turned red. He forcibly pulled Sang Li to help him. The next day when she woke up, her throat was hoarse.
Sang Li usually looked cold and indifferent. But when she thought of this matter, her face couldn't help flushing red, feeling very ashamed. Since then, she stopped teasing him.
Sang Li glanced at him and pushed his face away, "Sit properly and drive."
But these four words made Gu Zhi think wickedly for some reason.
He approached her again, held her face and kissed her lips.
"..."
"Sister... The doctor said we can have sex now." Gu Zhi released her, his eyes full of desire.
"..."
"Let's go home now!" Gu Zhi started the car happily.
Sang Li was stunned, before realizing what he meant by going home. She immediately said, "It's almost noon. Didn't you make an appointment to have lunch with your friend?"
"It’s okay. I asked him to go to the restaurant first and wait for us. We'll go over after we finish the deed."
"..."
Sang Li stroked her forehead. She couldn't help sighing to herself that young people are so impatient.
Since she became pregnant, her desire for physical intimacy had not been very strong due to bodily and hormonal changes.
But Gu Zhi was in his prime youth filled with vigor. She could understand.
Sang Li glanced at him. Although Gu Zhi had a baby face that looked harmless, he was only a little puppy in front of Sang Li a year ago.
This man has a black belly, to say the least. All the people in the Gu family were toyed around his finger. Also, he showed no mercy at all to outsiders.
Wanting to take advantage of him? That was simply impossible.
That woman who tried to take advantage of him would likely end up with nothing.
As soon as they returned home and closed the door, Gu Zhi eagerly hugged her waist and kissed her lips.
"Sister... I'm so uncomfortable..."
Sang Li’s reason was temporarily absent. Gu Zhi was always like this, begging pitifully in a way she couldn't refuse.
But while begging pitifully with his mouth, his actions were not weak at all.
"Sister, kiss me, okay?"
"Sister, you smell so good and soft..."
"Sister, hug me tight..."
"Sister, I want more..."
...
Sang Li completely lost her reason and self in his endless "sister".
...
By the time they arrived at the restaurant, it was almost one o'clock.
As soon as he saw them come in, Chen Lin rushed up to greet them, "Gu Zhi, where have you been? Why are you so late?"
"Of course we were doing very important things!" Gu Zhi said with a smile as he hugged Sang Li's waist. "Let me introduce you. This is my wife I told you about before."
"Sister-in-law, nice to meet you. I am Chen Lin, Gu Zhi's friend."
"Hello, I am Sang Li. Gu Zhi often mentions you to me."
The three of them sat down.
"Sister-in-law, order anything you want. Today's meal is on me!" Chen Lin said with a smile.
"Okay, thanks. In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."
"Sister, don't stand on ceremony with him." Gu Zhi said.
"Gu Zhi is right. Why stand on ceremony between us? Sister-in-law, you don't know, we used to share a bowl a rice!"
Sang Li smiled, "Gu Zhi told me about you two. I admire you both."
"Hehe, Gu Zhi is the formidable one. I'm just his employee!"
"You are also formidable."
"Sister, aren't I formidable?" Gu Zhi leaned over deliberately and asked.
Sang Li glanced at him, but still said, "You are also formidable." 𝐟𝐫eewe𝗯𝐧𝚘ve𝐥.c𝚘𝚖
"Sister, I'm asking about what happened at home earlier. Was I formidable or not?"
"..."
Of course Chen Lin didn't understand and innocently asked again, "What were you two doing at home? Handling some work?"
Sang Li glared at Gu Zhi before gritting her teeth and explaining, "Yes, we handled a bit of work."
"That must have gone well. Gu Zhi always handles things skillfully!" Chen Lin didn't notice anything wrong.
Sang Li pinched Gu Zhi under the table and warned him with a glare. He was getting more and more unscrupulous!
Gu Zhi smiled and took the opportunity to grab her hand.
During the meal, Sang Li went to the restroom once.
But when she came out and walked into the private room, she thought she had entered the wrong room!
Because the room was suddenly filled with roses everywhere!
Sang Li stood in the doorway in a daze.
Gu Zhi suddenly walked out from behind the door. He went up to Sang Li, knelt down on one knee.
In his hand was an exquisite box which was opened.
Gu Zhi looked up at her. His eyes seemed to have stars. "Sister, marry me, ok?"
Sang Li didn't expect Gu Zhi to pull off this at all. They had actually gotten married long ago, and were already expecting a baby. So how could she have imagined him proposing? She had already considered Gu Zhi her husband.
Sang Li's eyes moistened. Originally after becoming pregnant, she has become emotionally sensitive. At the moment she unexpectedly couldn't hold back her tears.
"Gu Zhi... didn't we... get married long ago?" Sang Li choked with sobs.
"That's different, Sister. In here, I owe you a wedding ceremony."
"But... you are not yet old enough to marry..."
"I'll turn 21 this year. Next year we can register for marriage. But I want to give you a grand wedding ceremony first, Sister. Trust me when I say that in the future I will move away from the Gu family as soon as I can, then I will accompany you to see your uncle and aunt, and ask them for your hand in marriage. "
Sang Li's throat seemed blocked. She slowly stretched out her hand, "Okay, I accept."
Gu Zhi happily put the ring on her finger and kissed her hand, "Sister, I love you."
"Gu Zhi, I love you too."
