  It was a perfectly normal sentence, but Xu Jiashen looked a little nervous and refused, "Not now."

  "Why?" Shen Gusi was stunned by the rejection: "It's already afternoon, Lulu shouldn't be taking a nap, why can't I call?"

  He felt a wave of panic in his heart and couldn't help asking, "Did something happen to Lulu?"

  Just yesterday, Lulu told him that the doctor said her health was getting better and she would be discharged from the hospital soon, which made Shen Gusi full of expectations.

  He had never been separated from Lulu for so long, a whole week. Since Lulu was born, Shen Gusi had spent most of his time with Lulu except for work.

  A week seems especially long because of missing you.

  "What could happen to Lulu?"

  Xu Jiashen laughed dryly twice, put his phone down, got on the bed, and sat next to Shen Gusi: "Don't worry, Lulu is fine. The nurse just sent me a message saying that she had too much fun this morning, so she is still sleeping now."

 "Is that so?" Although Shen Gusi was still a little uneasy in his heart, after hearing what Xu Jiashen said, he no longer doubted it and instead felt relieved.

  "I'm glad you're okay."

  Xu Jiashen put his arm around Shen Gusi's shoulders, kneaded them gently, and comforted him, "It'll be okay, I'm here."

  His words gave Shen Gusi strength, and he felt a little more secure during the countless nights he spent alone.

  "Can I ask..."

  Shen Gusi hesitated for a while, but still said: "Can you let me go back and take care of Lulu for a few days? I haven't been with her for so long, and she is still so young, she must be very scared."

  Xu Jiashen was listening seriously at first, but when he heard Shen Gusi say that he was leaving, his face immediately sank.

  "Aren't we video chatting every day? You can see it yourself. Lulu is doing well. I will send someone to pick her up soon."

  "I know, I know, but... I still have a lot of things to deal with."

  He was just taken away without any preparation and left everything behind.

  "What's the matter?" Xu Jiashen asked unhappily.

  "I haven't given up the lease on the house, I haven't quit my job, and I still have a lot of stuff sitting there, so I have to go back eventually."

  Xu Jiashen disagreed: "If you haven't returned the house, then you haven't returned it. It's not a lot of money anyway. The things you didn't take, we have everything at home, if you don't have enough, you can buy more. You would have been fired long ago if you didn't go home for a week. If you care about your salary, I will give you five times your monthly salary."

  Looking at Xu Jiashen's wealthy appearance, Shen Gusi frowned.

  "I don't care about the money. I didn't even take my ID card."

  "It's just an ID card. Just apply for a new one."

  Shen Gusi sighed and said patiently, "Shen Shen, it's not a matter of whether to reissue it or not..."

  "Then what's the problem?" Xu Jiashen felt that his answer had dealt with all the problems, but Shen Gusi still wanted to go back.

  Why go back?
