Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 533 Deception

Gu Juncheng continued to watch her quietly until Zhangzhu on the crib turned over and murmured in her sleep, "Daddy..."

Gu Juncheng's gaze immediately focused on Zhangzhu, and he stepped into the room with one foot. At the same time, he also glanced at Lin Qingping's expression.

You can't tell if someone is happy or angry...

But he had already entered the room, so he simply made his steps more resolute.

First, I went to see the baby's darling.

With her brows furrowed and eyes closed, Zhangzhu was kicking and waving her arms, yelling, "Bad guy! Go away! Daddy! Hit! Bad guy!"

Gu Juncheng bent down, took Zhangzhu's little hand, and gently comforted her, "Daddy's here, Daddy's coming, Daddy will beat the bad guys, Zhangzhu, don't be afraid."

Zhangzhu hadn't actually woken up, but Gu Juncheng's voice seemed to have a magical power; she hummed softly and fell asleep peacefully, finally murmuring in her small voice, "Daddy..."

Lin Qingping watched silently from the side. It was clear that Gu Juncheng's heart had been melted by that one word, "Dad," and the tenderness on her face was obvious.

She felt very uncomfortable.

For a moment she was confused. She didn't know whether Gu Juncheng's love for his daughter was a blessing or a curse.

Gu Juncheng loves Zhangzhu so much, would he agree to leave her in the capital with his second sister? If he doesn't, the law supports him as her biological father. But if he takes Zhangzhu away, and she's gone, a new woman will take care of her. What kind of life will Zhangzhu, who has never suffered any hardship, lead? She dares not think about it, especially since Gu Juncheng is so busy and often away from home…

Are you asleep?

As Lin Qingping's mind was filled with all sorts of chaotic thoughts, Gu Juncheng squatted down beside her bed.

Yes, squat down so that your eyes are at the same level as hers.

Lin Qingping turned her face away.

Seeing her reaction, Gu Juncheng stepped back slightly and said in a low voice, "Lin Qingping, if you're not feeling unwell, shall we talk?"

Lin Qingping now vomits whenever she sees him, which shocks him.

"Will you throw up again today?" He asked cautiously. "Lin Qingping, I know I lied to you. I didn't send my parents back to their hometown. They've let you down and let Zhangzhu down. I promised I wouldn't let them appear in front of you. I'm not trying to defend myself, but they raised me, and there are some obligations I must fulfill."

"So, you rented another house for them? You lied to me and told me you sent them away."

He paused for a moment, then admitted, "Yes."

"So, you kept Lanxiang as a backup?" Lin Qingping's tone was already laced with cold sarcasm.

Gu Juncheng fell silent again, and after a while, he said, "My mother likes her to be with her."

Ah……

Lin Qingping's heart sank instantly. What else was there to say? What else was there to discuss?

"Gu Juncheng," Lin Qingping changed the subject herself, "How's the divorce going?"

"Lin Qingping..." He lowered his eyes, "You should focus on getting better first, and stop thinking such things, okay?"

Lin Qingping felt powerless.

I've had this feeling in my past life.

At that time, she was also very ill. She was lying in bed, unable to move, and knew that her younger brother and nephew were treating her badly, but she was powerless to do anything about it.

She's back to that feeling now.

She needed her second sister's help to walk outside. Gu Juncheng was strong and powerful, and she couldn't do anything to him physically. She didn't have the energy to struggle with him.

She closed her eyes wearily and said only, "Gu Juncheng, promise me one thing, and I won't mention divorce."

It seems the divorce is impossible, and the will has already been amended. If they do divorce, I'm afraid the precious daughter will go to him...

Gu Juncheng's eyes immediately lit up with hope, "Tell me!"

"Promise me that if I'm gone and you plan to remarry, you'll entrust Zhangzhu and Zhiyuan to your second sister and let him study in the capital," Lin Qingping said softly.

She had discussed this matter with her second sister. She had many houses in the capital, so she could stay here instead of disturbing her second sister's normal life by not going to her house. With Sister Zhao and Gu Youlian around, she could even stay at Gu Youlian's house directly, which Gu Youlian would welcome. But her second sister was, after all, her own sister.

Although the second sister was very reluctant to face Lin Qingping's instructions regarding his final affairs, she was forced to agree that if that day ever came, she would move back, and Yunqi would have no objection.

Gu Juncheng's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. "You're overthinking things again. How could you possibly be gone? Don't spout such ominous nonsense!"

"Gu Juncheng, have you become superstitious?" Lin Qingping said calmly. "Promise me, so I can feel at ease."

That day, Gu Juncheng ultimately did not agree to Lin Qingping's condition.

The helplessness in Lin Qingping's heart dragged her down, as if she were about to sink into the bottom of an abyss.

The next day, Gu Juncheng went out early in the morning, and Gu Youlian did not come either. However, her second sister came to the house early in the morning as usual to help her wash up and get Zhangzhu out of bed.

Breakfast had been bought early in the morning and placed on the table; judging from its appearance, it must have been bought by Gu Juncheng.

Because her conversation with Gu Juncheng the night before had been unsuccessful, Lin Qingping was in a low mood all morning. She felt particularly helpless and upset when she saw Zhangzhu looking so innocent and clueless.

Wu Tianjiao and Mei Li arrived at this time.

She was going to take Lin Qingping to the hospital.

Her ex-husband, a friend of Dr. Shen, introduced her to a very famous expert in Lin Qingping's condition through a friend.

This expert has studied and practiced medicine abroad for many years and has extensive clinical experience. He has returned to serve his country.

"We made plans for today, but wait, where's Gu Juncheng?" Wu Tianjiao glanced around the house but didn't see him. She asked, "He has to go with you today!"

Lin Qingping smiled faintly, "No need, Second Sister can come with me."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tianjiao nodded, "Okay, the time has already been arranged. It wouldn't be good to be late. Mei Li and I can go with you."

So, the group got into Wu Tianjiao's car and headed to the hospital.

The doctor's surname was Cao, and the hospital he joined was not the Capital Hospital where Lin Qingping had been hospitalized before. Wu Tianjiao drove everyone to Dongcheng Hospital.

"Dr. Cao is seeing patients at the outpatient clinic today. We made an appointment and went to see him there," Wu Tianjiao said after helping Lin Qingping out of the car.

Dongcheng Hospital was once a very famous hospital in the capital, and it was extremely difficult to get an appointment there. But now it's much better; it's well-organized and not crowded.

Second Sister and Mei Li sat with Lin Qingping on chairs in the lobby while they waited. Wu Tianjiao went to register. Suddenly, a familiar figure caught their eye.

At the payment counter, why does that person look so much like Gu Juncheng?

She looked closely and sure enough, it was...

Then I noticed there was someone else with him, Lanxiang…
