Zhang Nanyu suddenly felt uneasy. She hesitated and said, "I also noticed that you've been very busy with work... I reluctantly accepted this omega, taking good care of him and treating him well. I didn't mistreat him in any way. It was his own choice to come and find you. I didn't have any other option..."
She dodged the main issue and immediately shifted all the problems onto Hua Tuan.
"Where is the good food and drinks to entertain guests? Hua Tuan has been living here for almost half a month. Zhang Nanyu, on one hand, pretends to comfort Hua Tuan, telling him not to go find Gu Chenzhou. She says that once Gu Chenzhou returns, they will officially register for marriage and he will become another master of this household. He must understand his place. However, on the other hand, as Hua Tuan's identity has not been officially established, she insists that he must follow the rules and not even be allowed to sit at the dining table!"
This woman is always pretending to be someone else in front of others, but behind their backs, she's a completely different person. Many people have suffered losses at her hands.
"No, that's not it," Hua Tuan retorted, looking at Gu Chenzhou. His delicate little face was filled with grievances and anger, as he hoped Gu Chenzhou would defend him. "It's because..."
At this moment, Gu Chenzhou's communicator suddenly rang.
He raised his hand to restrain Huatuan from speaking and then put on a wireless sound wave earphone. After a while, his eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"I have something to attend to, I need to return to headquarters." Without waiting for the sentence to finish, Gu Chenzhou stood up and quickly walked away.
Huatuan quickly jogged to catch up.
Gu Chenzhou turned around and stopped, his expression indifferent as he said, "Stay here and allow the housekeeper to arrange a room for you."
Zhang Nanyu raised an eyebrow upon hearing the words and gradually adopted the posture of a host while sitting on the sofa.
Huatuan suddenly felt anxious. He had put in so much effort, and it was only after great difficulty that he finally had a chance to see Gu Chenzhou. It hadn't even been half a day, and now they were going to separate again?
"No..." Hua Tuan vigorously shakes his head, his eyes brimming with tears. He reaches out and grabs Gu Chenzhou's sleeve, choked with sobs, saying, "...take me with you, please. I don't want to be separated from you. I'll be very well-behaved... I promise, I won't disturb you while you work. I'm not familiar with this place, and I'm scared... Please, don't abandon me again..."
Gu Chenzhou merely furrowed his brow. As the commander-in-chief of the entire Northern Military Region, he was constantly swamped with duties. His principles prevented him from being swayed or lingering due to anyone.
He remained silent, leaving the flower group behind in this completely unfamiliar and unsettling place for him.
Huatuan felt that he was about to be abandoned. He stared wide-eyed at Gu Chenzhou's departing figure, no longer the same as before. This man would not turn back for him anymore.
Hua Tuan suddenly chased after. He held onto his stomach and stumbled as he ran over, forcefully pushing away the crowd that surrounded him.
He wasn't very good at crying. Tears fell down like they weren't his own, while his face exhibited a mixture of confusion and a carefully crafted effort to please. He knocked on the car door lightly, repeatedly saying, "A Gu...A Gu, are you mad at me?...From now on, I won't be willful anymore. Can you take me with you...please? I won't bother you with my demands, I'll eat less candy, and I'll save all the chicken drumsticks for you. I won't compete with you anymore, I'll listen to what you say, eat more vegetables. A Gu...please, don't leave me behind. If you take me along, I won't bother you while you're working, okay? Promise me, don't abandon me..."
Gu Chenzhou didn't like him being so persistent, taking it as a burden. Annoyed, he closed his eyes for a moment and said in a low voice, "Pull him away!"
Upon receiving the order, the subordinates immediately captured Huatuan and prevented him from getting any closer, no matter how he struggled.
The car drove away, and Huatuan shouted and struggled, wanting to rush forward but was firmly held back by several beta subordinates. In the end, he lost focus and helplessly watched the car move further away from him.
Zhang Nanyu watched this scene and stood by, mocking sarcastically, "I told you to stay here quietly, nobody will do anything to you. Who told you to go and provoke trouble? Oh, now look at you, not only did you not have a good outcome, but you also got into trouble. Why didn't I realize before that you have such thick skin?"
Huatuan completely ignored her, and the few servants, seeing that he didn't resist, also released their restraints.
Hua Tuan hung her head, clutching her stomach, as if her lifeline had been severed. Her body slowly slid downward.
The butler Lu can be considered the most composed and fair-minded person in this old mansion. Seeing Hua Tuan supporting her stomach with a pale face, he immediately sent someone to call the family doctor.
He helped Flower Tuan back up and politely consoled him, "Sir, please take care of yourself. General often goes on business trips, he'll be back soon enough, so you don't have to worry too much."
Hua Tuan lowered their head, making it difficult to discern their expression, and muttered, "...Mm."
