My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 326: Chapter 326 Provoking Him Intentionally_1
I was deliberately provoking him.

Seeing him angry made me quite happy inside.

His face darkened with rage as he glared at me with narrowed black eyes, as if he was trying to see through me.

I watched him with a smile.

“Gu Yuanzhou, you think you’re so capable, huh? Show me what you can do now!”

Gu Yuanzhou’s Adam’s apple moved as he reached out and grabbed my throat.

“Do you believe I could kill you right now?”

I pointed towards the table,

“Sure, you could kill me now. But then you wouldn’t live long either! The cameras are recording everything.”

Gu Yuanzhou followed my gaze and indeed, above the table, he noticed a moving camera aimed at him.

Only then did he let go of my neck.

“Listen, just because you handled Ayu doesn’t mean you’ve won. You barely scraped by, and I have plenty of ways to deal with you.”

After saying that, he turned and left in a hurry.

I sat down on the chair, feeling lost.

He still wants to deal with me!

After coming back from the hospital, I returned to the Xishan Residence.

Ms. Ding had bought some pomelo leaves and other items to welcome me home and cleanse me of evil influences.

The next day, she even took me up to the temple to pray, hoping that evil spirits would no longer cling to me.

However, I always felt as if someone was following me.

Sometimes, when I was sitting in the car and looked back unintentionally, I would see a car lingering persistently behind us.

I had this sneaking suspicion that something was off, but when I tried to look carefully, I couldn’t make out who it was.

Gu Yuanzhou hadn’t contacted me these past few days.

But I knew that if someone was stalking me, it was probably his people.

What he planned to do next, however, I had no idea.

After the prayer, Ms. Ding took me back to the Ding Family home.

It was a rare family reunion and Ms. Ding was very pleased, asking the housekeeper to prepare several extra dishes.

“I cleaned up Anuo’s old bedroom a bit, and from now on, you can stay at home. Having one more person in the house makes it more lively. Look, Ruirui is especially happy today.”

Ding Ruirui, the little girl, really enjoyed having guests at home.

Every time I came back, she would snuggle up to me, telling me all about her kindergarten days and reading her books to me.

In her innocent eyes, I saw purity.

I too loved to play with her, and holding her tiny body, I even remembered the warm moments I once shared with my daughter.

I held her tightly.

“Little auntie, why are you crying? Did Ruirui upset you?”

The little angel stretched out her hand in a mature manner, her expression heartbreakingly sensible.

I kissed her little forehead and shook my head with a smile, “No, little auntie is just hoping you’ll always be healthy and happy.”

“Does little auntie like me?”

“Of course, who wouldn’t like such a cute little angel like you?”

“I like little auntie too. Can I play with little auntie every day from now on?”

“Of course, you can…”

Ding Ruirui then took out a painting from her backpack and gave it to me,

“Little auntie, this is for you, do you like it?”

I took the sketchbook she handed me; it depicted a long-haired girl. Although the strokes were childlike, the drawing was quite vivid.

For some reason, looking at this drawing reminded me of my daughter, Xiaoyi.

Xiaoyi also loved to draw and had given me similar drawings in the past.

“I love it, really love it! But my hair is very short now; is that really me in the painting?”

“It’s you! It was me who cast a spell on you, and then your hair started to grow very long, huh!”

“Wow, you knew I wanted long hair, so you drew it long for me, right?”

“Mm-hmm, exactly!”

“You really are Little Mian’ao, the intimate little cotton-padded coat for your auntie!”

“Auntie, can I sleep with you tonight?”

Mom Ding worried she might disturb me, so she persuaded,

“Ruirui, you’ll disturb Auntie at night by sleeping with her, why not sleep with Grandma?”

“I won’t disturb Auntie, she’s all alone when she sleeps. I’m worried she might get scared and not come back to our house anymore.”

Seeing the little girl so considerate, I was quite happy, and I agreed to her request,

“Okay, then we’ll sleep together tonight. Mom, don’t worry, I really like kids and am not afraid of the noise.”

I had experience with children—I had had two little ones before; I knew how to take care of them.

In fact, Ding Ruirui was so well-behaved and sensible that she didn’t fuss at all.

After bathing, she climbed into bed on her own and even thoughtfully helped me spread the blanket.

After I lay down, I told her a bedtime story and she fell asleep.

As I touched her soft little cheeks with my hand, my heart felt a healing sensation.

At night, she would spontaneously snuggle close to me, pressing her little head against my body.

I wrapped my arms around her.

The next morning, as I took her to school, she was hopping and skipping; the butterfly bow on her head fluttered with her movements. She waved at me, smiling brightly and innocently.

“Auntie, remember to pick me up after school!”

“Sure thing, sweetheart!”

I felt that this child had already started to see me as her family.

Later on, Mom Ding told me,

“Her mother has always been in poor health, mentally distracted, and unable to take proper care of her, so she has always had a great longing for motherly love. She probably feels warmth from you.”

“Yes, I can feel love from her too!”

I thought, maybe Ding Ruirui and I can heal each other.

She lacked motherly love, and I lacked a child…

Just as I had decided to take good care of this child, something unexpected happened.

After I recovered, I made a trip to the company.

Because during my hospitalization, a lot of work had piled up that required a great deal of time to sort out.

I buried myself in work all day long, without even time to drink water.

It wasn’t until the end of the workday that Jia Yuyan brought me a cup of milk tea,

“Xiaosong, you haven’t eaten the lunchbox I brought you at noon; why haven’t you eaten yet?”

“Oh, I’ve been a bit busy today… I’ll eat it later.”

Jia Yuyan sat beside me, keeping me company, “It’s really strange, President Ding left halfway through the meeting today! It seemed like he had some emergency!”

I didn’t initially take it to heart and continued organizing files, “What could be so urgent?”

“I don’t know! Could it be that something happened to Little President Ding in the hospital?”

The Little President Ding Jia Yuyan referred to was Ding Yinuo.

Hearing this, I also lost interest in the paperwork and immediately picked up my phone to call Mom Ding.

Before I could say a word, Mom Ding burst into tears, “Xiaosong, did you ask a friend to pick up Ruirui?”

I thought for a while, “No! What’s wrong with Ruirui?”

“The school called saying Ruirui has disappeared. They haven’t been able to find her since after the third period in the afternoon.”

It then dawned on me that Ding Xiao’s hasty departure must have been to look for Ruirui; thinking back to the adorable sight of the little girl skipping joyfully to school in the morning.

My heart clenched with concern, but I had to suppress my anxiety and comfort Mom Ding,

“Mom, don’t worry, I’ll go look for her. Kids have short legs; she can’t have gone far.”
