Gu Junxing had booked a flight overnight and rushed back as soon as he heard the news about Qiao Hua.
The moment he entered, he went straight to Qiao Hua's bedside, his face full of anxiety. "Are you all right, sis?"
Qiao Hua looked at him in surprise. "Why are you back?"
"I heard something happened to you, so I hurried back to check on you." Gu Junxing looked her up and down, worry written across his face. "Where are you hurt? Is it serious?"
Warmth spread through Qiao Hua's heart. She reassured him, "I'm fine. I just gave birth early."
Gu Junxing froze. Only then did he notice that Qiao Hua's belly was flat. His expression grew complicated, and a flicker of disappointment crossed his eyes.
Thoroughly displeased at being treated as invisible, Gu Wenze walked over and sat beside Qiao Hua as if staking his claim. He held her shoulder and looked up at Gu Junxing. "Doesn't the company need you?"
Only then did Gu Junxing look at Gu Wenze, acting as if he hadn't heard the question. "How have you been taking care of her, brother?"
"If you can't protect her, I don't mind taking over."
Gu Wenze narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint entering their depths. "Say that again."
Seeing that the brothers were about to argue, Qiao Hua tried to smooth things over. "Your brother hardly ever comes back. Is that any way to greet him?"
Seeing Qiao Hua defend another man right in front of him made Gu Wenze's brow twitch.
This woman was siding with an outsider!
But when he saw Qiao Hua's pale face, he suppressed his anger and turned his head away.
Just then, the doctor came over and said there was something about the baby's treatment he needed to discuss
