Chapter 3182 — Gu Pengzhan's Excitement
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"How about this, Yaoyao—give me a few more days to get used to the idea. I have just come out of the Dark Night Palace, and it has been so long since I was in the mortal world. I think a few more days to calm myself…" Ye Rou'er said.
"Then… all right." Gu Mengyao did not press Ye Rou'er further. She knew that both her mother and she herself were the sort to brood over things, forever hesitating—just as she once had with Wei Zhao.
Yet after hanging up, Gu Mengyao called Gu Pengzhan once more! Sometimes people of such a temperament needed someone at their side to give them a push; Gu Mengyao herself was the same—had it not been for Little Shu's nudging, she could never have confessed to Wei Zhao so smoothly.
So this time, she too would be the one to give a push.
"Yaoyao, how did it go? Did you find your mother?" Gu Pengzhan had been waiting by the phone all along; seeing Gu Mengyao's call come in, he snatched it up at once and asked.
"Dad, go now to the XX Business Hotel across from your company, room 2901—and don't say it was me who told you!" Gu Mengyao said.
"Go to the hotel?" Gu Pengzhan was taken aback, then understood at once and broke into a laugh. "All right, Yaoyao, I'll head over right now. I certainly won't tell your mother it was you who told me she was at the hotel."
"Heh…" Gu Mengyao smiled. In truth, whether Gu Pengzhan said so or not, Ye Rou'er would guess it well enough.
After hanging up, Gu Mengyao let out a breath of relief. With these matters settled, she wanted to go back and call Little Shu—a call that would likely last all night, which was one reason she had saved this call to Little Shu for last.
Gu Pengzhan washed up quickly, changed into a respectable suit, then stood before the mirror and began to tidy his hair! In the past, though Gu Pengzhan had also paid attention to his appearance and would comb his hair quite formally when going to negotiate business, he had never been as meticulous as today. He combed and combed again—yet looking at the graying at his temples in the mirror, he could not help but sigh.
One way or another, he had grown old. In the blink of an eye he had become a man of middling and advancing years. He wondered what Ye Rou'er looked like at this moment. Though in his memory Ye Rou'er still had the same appearance as Gu Mengyao, Gu Pengzhan knew that by now Ye Rou'er must have aged as well!
But whatever Ye Rou'er looked like, Gu Pengzhan's heart had never changed, and he could scarcely wait to see her!
At last, satisfied enough with the figure in the mirror, Gu Pengzhan hurried out the door and drove to the hotel across from his company. Only, as he passed a vending machine by the roadside, Gu Pengzhan hesitated, stopped the car, fumbled at the machine for a moment, and took out a small box.
Gu Mengyao was now twenty years old, and Gu Pengzhan certainly did not want to give her a little brother or sister… After all, he was no longer young, and had no energy left to raise another child.
