Pampered by My Billionaire Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 37: A Single Day Apart Feels Like an Eternity

"Mm."

Gu Jingchen replied blandly.

"Bro, I've got to hand it to you. Becoming an instructor just to woo a girlfriend—you're the first in history."

Gu Jingrui couldn't help but give a thumbs up, expressing his extreme admiration for his elder brother.

"Big brother, I truly admire your dedication to your little wife." Gu Jingxin spoke frankly; for the head of the Gu Group to go to such lengths for the woman he loves, isn't that the epitome of devotion?

"Grandson, you have to set a good example for your brothers. Forcing a relationship that isn't meant to be isn't fate, but when true fate comes, you must seize it." Gu Yushan gave a meaningful look at the third and fourth sons.

"Yes, Grandpa." Gu Jingchen nodded.

Gu Jingrui and Gu Jingxin understood their grandfather's meaning, and neither of them said a word, merely turning their heads away.

"Dad, sons, it's time to eat!"

Qi Xiuyan came out of the kitchen at this moment, smiling at Gu Yushan and her four sons, and said.

As she spoke, she sent a servant upstairs to fetch her husband Gu Shengnian for breakfast. Ever since the couple retired and handed all the work over to their children, Gu Shengnian had been delighted to tend to the flowers and plants on the rooftop, while Qi Xiuyan enjoyed diving into the kitchen to make delicious meals for her father-in-law and sons, trying to make up for the times they missed when she and her husband were too busy with work.

As expected, today's breakfast was very sumptuous. Since Qi Xiuyan retired and stayed at home, she made sure that every meal she prepared was lavish as long as someone was home to eat.

At this moment, Gu Shengnian also came down from upstairs, and the family began eating breakfast amid laughter and chatter.

"Ah, watching each of you have your own career and life, your father and I feel very happy. It somewhat makes up for the regret of not having a daughter."

Qi Xiuyan looked at the four exceptionally handsome faces facing her, smiled, sighed, and then said.

"Honey, every parent-child relationship is predestined. How about we give it another try and give them a little sister?"

Gu Shengnian extended his elegant hand, gently resting it on Qi Xiuyan's shoulder, his voice low and full of affection.

"Get out, you're being improper. The sons are already grown and have people they like. You're joking around, it's more practical to hope they give me a granddaughter. Girls are so sweet, like a little coat to keep you warm. Look at these sons, even getting them to come home to eat is a rarity."

Qi Xiuyan looked at her husband, pouting playfully, then raised her pretty brows, deliberately speaking for her four sons to hear.

"Mom, I will hurry and bring your daughter-in-law home to you, and then give you a granddaughter, I promise!"

Gu Jingchen had finished eating and immediately saluted his parents, his tone very earnest, and after the salute, he blinked with an adorable goofiness.

"Ah, you said it!"

Qi Xiuyan was amused by her eldest son, smiling and shaking her head.

"Yes, I said it, and I mean it!"

The man continued to be brazenly proud, then flashed a dazzling smile that showed his neat, pearly whites, picked up his handbag from the sofa, waved to his family behind him, and strode out to the car parked outside the villa.

"Bro, wait for me, I want to ride in your car today, just to catch up on sleep—I stayed up too late last night!" With a driver ready, who wouldn't take it? Gu Jingrui stretched his long legs, dashed to the sofa, grabbed his bag, and followed suit!

"These kids!" Qi Xiuyan and Gu Shengnian exchanged knowing smiles, filled with satisfaction at their excellent and friendly children.

"Mom, Dad, I'm off too. I have a class this morning, and then I'll head back to the Group." Gu Jingrui raised his eyebrows slightly, glancing at Gu Jingxin beside him. The atmosphere at the dining table became awkward, and the man awkwardly spoke before turning and leaving with large strides.

Gu Jingxin's reaction was the same. The two twins silently picked up their bags and left through the main door. A moment later, the sound of two cars starting outside indicated they had departed.

After watching Gu Jingrui and Gu Jingxin leave with a hint of awkwardness, Gu Yushan finished his meal, sighed, and went upstairs.

"Ah, I wonder when Jingrui and Jingxin will reconcile? These two kids have been in sync since they were little, being twins. If one falls ill, the other usually follows; their close bond made everyone envious. But because of that incident, they still aren't speaking."

Mentioning this, Qi Xiuyan felt a bit helpless, a mother's main concern is her children.

"It's nothing, my dear. How can there be lasting grudge between brothers? Our children are all so outstanding. Once they find their significant others, everything will naturally get better; you're overthinking."

Gu Shengnian looked at Qi Xiuyan with a deeply loving gaze; his large hand on Qi Xiuyan's thin shoulder, comforting.

"Mm, I guess that's all we can do." Qi Xiuyan sighed, waved her hand, and the servants began clearing the table.

Meanwhile, Gu Jingchen drove swiftly along the Coastal Road, with Gu Jingyu sitting in the back seat. Yesterday, Gu Jingyu had stayed up late working on a project. Knowing his brother had a habit for the front seat, which he actually shared, Gu Jingyu obediently settled in the back seat and fell asleep.

The distance from the Gu family home to the school wasn't very far, but along the way, Gu Jingchen felt a mix of urgency and nerves. The anticipation of seeing the bright face of his beloved had his heart racing.

"A day without seeing you feels like a lifetime."

Gu Jingchen murmured softly, his deep black eyes radiating tenderness. His foot pressed the accelerator a bit more, speeding towards Yun City University.

Today was the first day of military training, and Shang Xixia, Yu Tingting, and Zhou Xingyan had already gotten up early as instructed by the university. The three of them rubbed their sleepy eyes, yawning repeatedly as they hurriedly tidied their rooms.

"Ah, since starting college, I've become lazier. In high school, waking up at this time was no problem at all, but now, I'm just exhausted."
