Mr. Gu has fallen out of favor.
And the most direct reason for this makes him quite upset.
He is suffering in silence.
Truly suffering in silence.
His wife is engrossed all day in the soon-to-be-born child.
The whole family is busy due to Jiang Muwan's impending due date.
Except for him, immersed in his career.
After being away from home for a long time, he inexplicably feels detached from the family's trajectory upon returning.
Feeling not on the same line as everyone else.
Evening of September 20th.
Mr. Gu is at a social engagement.
Before leaving, he mentions this to Yu Se.
Yu Se coldly asks, "Aren't you afraid that Manman might go into labor while you're out?"
Mr. Gu's heart tightens.
Standing in the living room, he is momentarily at a loss, unable to go in or out.
Looking at Yu Se.
His heart feels as if it's being gripped by something.
The feeling of worry choking in his throat is more profound than words can express.
