"Gu Mengmeng, do I still need to coax you into eating?"
"I donāt want to eat!"
"Gu Mengmeng!" Gu Liancheng was really getting a bit angry now, ordering her to stand up, "Stand properly, if you continue to be willful, I will have to punish you by making you face the wall in reflection. If you donāt understand where you were wrong, youāre not allowed to sleep."
Gu Mengmeng looked at Gu Liancheng, her eyes gradually becoming moist, which caught him off guard.
She didnāt say a word, just sat down and called Eleven with her phone. Eleven had just wanted to call her too, but as soon as she picked up the phone, Gu Mengmengās call came in, so she answered immediately.
"Hello, Cute?"
As soon as Gu Mengmeng spoke, she began to wail, "Wu... Mommy, I miss you so much...I donāt want to stay here anymore...Can you come and take me home...I hate Mr. Gu...Wu..."
"..." Gu Liancheng froze, "Cute ā"
Had he been too fierce?
He had forgotten, the girl was only four years old, how could he be angry with a child? The teachings should be done, but not so harshly.
Now she was crying because of him, and he suddenly didnāt know what to do.
"Wu! Donāt touch me! Youāre a villain!" Gu Mengmeng looked at him with teary eyes and continued to cry, "Mommy...Mommy, I want a hug...Wu..."
Gu Mengmeng was crying so sadly, heartbreakingly drying her tears.
He saw her crying so badly for the first time.
Pausing for a moment, his phone suddenly rang.
It was Eleven.
Why was she calling him at this time?
Looking at the crying Gu Mengmeng, he dared not move too far away, instead he stood up and walked a few steps away to answer.
"Hello?"
"Fourth Master Gu! What are you doing? How could you make Cute cry?" Elevenās reproaching voice came from the other end. It sounded anxious, with a touch of heartache.
Cute was crying heartbreakingly on this side, she, as a mother, could not hold her or kiss her, she couldnāt even comfort her. Apart from anxiety, she only felt more anxiety, it was killing her with heartache.
Gu Liancheng was stunned for a moment.
So the girl had called Eleven?
When he heard her calling for Mommy, he thought she had called Little Snow.
"I spoke a bit loudly to the little girl today as she was not being very obedient," he said.
"Stop, thatās not important now, go and check if Cute has a fever!"
Though Gu Liancheng found it strange, he still went over and while the girl was not paying attention, he touched her forehead, he froze, upset, she felt very hot!
He quickly walked out and called Sister-in-law Lian to bring a thermometer.
Sister-in-law Lian quickly brought the thermometer, Gu Liancheng took it and quickly checked her forehead. She indeed had a fever, it was already thirty-eight degrees.
He handed the thermometer back to Sister-in-law Lian who instantly knew what to do next, and hurriedly left the room.
"How did you know she had a fever?"
"Oh my... itās a mess here, Iāll come over myself!"
He wanted to say there was no need as it was already late and it wouldnāt be good to bother her to come over, but Cute was crying and not letting him touch her, so he had no choice but to say, "Then Iāll ask Su Qing to pick you up."
"No need, I remember the address, Iāll take a taxi directly."
...
After hanging up, Eleven uneasily touched Jiujiuās forehead. Ye Fei had gone to the pharmacy to buy a thermometer.
She felt a bit hot, but didnāt know if it was because of her nerves.
"Iām okay, I donāt think I have a fever," Jiujiu said, watching Elevenās worried expression.
"But Cute is running a fever!"
Last time she didnāt think in that direction, she just thought it was too coincidental that both children had a fever at the same time. But their telepathy was becoming incredibly strong.
