Chapter 527 Beg For An Amulet
Yi and Miaomiao had always been a matter of great concern to Song Yunxuan.
Now she needed to deal with Song’s business in Yuncheng. Since the two kids had been taken away, Shao Tianze paid more attention to them.
It would take a long time for her to manage to take them back.
While eating, she saw Mei Qi staring out of the window.
Song Yunxuan was confused, “What’re you looking?”
Before she finished this question, she shut herself up.
It was Shao Tianze and Gu Changle. What a coincidence!
She hadn’t finished dinner when she saw Gu Changle and Shao Tianze were about to enter the restaurant.
Shao Tianze’s wife had died for less than a year, so he consciously kept a proper distance between Gu Changle outside.
Yet Gu Changle was reluctant.
Gu Changle held Shao Tianze’s arm, seeming they were extremely intimate.
“I heard that Mr. Shao went to Thailend with Gu Changle the other day.”
Song Yunxuan had taken it on board when she heard this.
“It seems that the Shao Family keeps watch on our movement.”
They must be aware of their journey to Thailend so that they followed their path.
Mei Qi disagreed, “Don’t think too much about it. I heard that they went to Thailend to wors.h.i.+p the Buddha because Gu Changle wants a baby.”
Song Yunxuan could not help laughing, “She’s not his wife yet. What’s the use of having a baby? It’s inappropriate.”
It was understandable that Gu Changle wanted to have a baby.
Now Shao Tianze had taken the entire Gu Family into his hands, but such a huge wealth and business would be inherited by Gu Changge’s children.
It bothered Gu Changle.
Therefore, she wanted to deliver Shao Tianze a child.
However, her body was not suitable for giving birth.
Not to mention her sensitive ident.i.ty, how would Yuncheng people judge a woman who had her brother-in-law’s baby?
Shao Tianze did not make their relations.h.i.+p public out of a sense of shame and propriety.
However, Gu Changle would try every means to make him acknowledge their relations.h.i.+p at any cost in the following days.
The simplest way was to conceive his baby. It would urge him to compromise.
After all, she was adopted.
As long as she revealed this secret, she would have nothing to do with the Gu Family, and she would no longer be his sister-in-law.
It was not hard. The only difficulty she encountered was that she couldn’t bear a baby in any case.
For her, it was a headache.
“She can try surrogate pregnancy.”
“That’s true.” Song Yunxuan did not comment much on the proposal.
Because this was indeed a good idea.
When they spoke, Gu Changle and Shao Tianze walked into the door.
They seemed to be regulars in this western restaurant.
When they came in, the manager of the restaurant greeted them with a big smile and then arranged them two window seats on the second floor.
It was coincidental that their seats were right in front of Song Yunxuan and Mei Qi.
When they walked towards the seats, they saw Song Yunxuan and Mei Qi dining.
Shao Tianze just wanted to say h.e.l.lo.
However, when Gu Changle saw Song Yunxuan, she couldn’t wait to show off her man. She smiled and said gently to Song Yunxuan, “Miss Song, you have dinner here. What a coincidence!”
Shao Tianze turned to Song Yunxuan.
Song Yunxuan had changed a lot over the past year.
He thought earlier that she was just a naive girl from a small town.
After what he had experienced, he knew she was not simple.
“It is a coincidence of running into you here.”
Song Yunxuan said with a smile while fixing her eyes on Shao Tianze.
Shao Tianze noticed this. He thought of something and said, “A happy coincidence! Why don’t you join us for dinner? It’s on me.”
Mei Qi waited for Song Yunxuan’s response.
If Song Yunxuan had said yes, he would not have opposed it.
If she had rejected, he would not have kept them company.
Mei Qi deemed that Song Yunxuan would refuse.
When this idea had just emerged, Song Yunxuan grinned and replied, “I’d love to.”
Gu Changle’s eyes darkened on the spot.
She had craved to show off her affection with Shao Tianze in front of Song Yunxuan and reminded Song Yunxuan of her worthless sister, Song Yunjia.
But Shao Tianze took the initiative to invite them for dinner together.
That was beyond her expectations.
She antic.i.p.ated a lovely date with Shao Tianze. However, Song Yunxuan and Mei Qi happened to be here.
And Shao Tianze invited them.
Gu Changle looked unhappy.
When Song Yunxuan saw her unpleasant look, she wore a sly smile and asked Shao Tianze, “Are you two on a date?”
“Changle doesn’t feel well. She feels bored in the hospital, so I asked her out.”
He didn’t answer this question directly.
He asked her out didn’t mean they were on a date.
It was an excuse that might hold water.
Gu Changle thought it couldn’t be considered as a proper answer. She pouted.
She wanted Shao Tianze to acknowledge their relations.h.i.+p and her position in his heart.
She desired to make their relations.h.i.+p public.
However, Shao Tianze insisted not, considering Gu Changge’s death and worrying about the gossip.
He felt insecure about it.
Gu Changle pursed her lips slightly and asked Song Yunxuan, “You seem to have a good appet.i.te. I saw you had already eaten before we came. Is good news imminent?”
“What good news are you talking about?” Song Yunxuan played dumb.
Gu Changle raised her gla.s.s and smiled, “A baby.”
Song Yunxuan chuckled.
She didn’t expect that Gu Changle would bring up with this topic first.
She regarded it as Gu Changle’s weakness and thought she would not talk about it.
She had to admit that she overestimated her.
Song Yunxuan was not embarra.s.sed. She blinked her eyes somewhat shyly, “It will come when it comes.”
Gu Changle rubbed her teeth and said with a smile spreading wider over her face, “Since you’re going to be a mother, when is the wedding?”
“We don’t have to rush into a shotgun wedding. Mochen and I agree that it’s my call.”
“How lucky you are! You’re about to be a mother at a young age.”
Song Yunxuan was not embarra.s.sed at all. She responded graciously, “I agree. I feel blessed.”
Song Yunxuan was the youngest among all the ladies at marriageable age in Yuncheng. Even if taking those who had babies without a husband into consideration, she was still the youngest.
If Song Yan had been alive, having a baby out of wedlock would have been a shame for the Song Family.
Yet Song Yan had pa.s.sed away. Song Yunxuan could do whatever she wanted.
She could choose whether to have a baby in marriage or out of wedlock. Her baby would be favored either way.
Gu Changle continued to mock Song Yunxuan ambiguously while having dinner.
Mei Qi, however, was quiet. Shao Tianze took a look at Song Yunxuan when the two women were speaking.
Shao Tianze didn’t know the details about Song Yunxuan’s journey to Thailend, so he tried to be matey with her.
He tried to figure out why Song Yunxuan went there.
Song Yunxuan had already eaten something with Mei Qi, so she didn’t have much of an appet.i.te.
She didn’t eat much.
Noticing that, Gu Changle asked in confusion, “I heard that pregnant women tend to have a good appet.i.te.”
“I’m not pregnant yet. It’s normal.”
Gu Changle laughed, “You seem to be looking forward to it.”
“Of course. Mochen wants to be a father.”
When Shao Tianze heard Song Yunxuan, he asked her in a timely manner, “The more you expect, the more disappointed you will be. You just need to wait.”
“As Chairman Shao said, we need to wait, but…” She turned around and seemed to think of something. She said to Gu Changle, “I went to Thailend to wors.h.i.+p the Buddha for it. I specifically begged for an amulet there. Many say it will work.”
Hearing Song Yunxuan mentioned her journey to Thailend, Gu Changle shot a look at Shao Tianze.
Shao Tianze exchanged glances with her. After that, Gu Changle continued to ask Song Yunxuan, “Can I have a look at your amulet?”
Gu Changle showed interested in it.
Song Yunxuan struck a pose to take out the amulet from her neck and show it to Gu Changle.
Mei Qi stopped Song Yunxuan quickly. He reminded her, “Manager Song, Childe Chu told you that this amulet could’t be seen by others. Have you forgotten?”
Mei Qi said so, and Song Yunxuan seemed to suddenly recall something. She looked at Gu Changle with an apologetic look, “I’m so sorry. Changle, I can’t show you my amulet. Otherwise, it’s not gonna work.”
Gu Changle had almost got to see the amulet around Song Yunxuan’s neck.
Stopped by Mei Qi, she was somewhat displeased.
However, she couldn’t show it. She wore a slight smile, “Since there is such taboo, it’s better not to take it out.”
Song Yunxuan pursed her lips, “Why don’t you go for one in Thailend if you want to have a baby?”
Gu Changle asked back immediately, “Where can I get it?”
