Chapter 207 Telling a storyWhen Li Yunhong just walked out of the door of the hospital, she saw tearful Chen Qian standing by the roadside. She burst into tears as soon as she saw Li Yunhong coming to her. She said to Li Yunhong with a crying voice, “Auntie, why do you ask me to stay there? I’m an outsider. Everyone finds me annoying!”
Li Yunhong pretended to be in anger, “Nonsense! You will become my daughter-in-law. How can you call yourself an outsider?”
Chen Qian cried even harder, said, “Auntie, I’m afraid I can’t be your daughter-in-law.”
Li Yunhong hugged Chen Qian and said softly, “Silly girl, that’s not true. How many times have I told you? It’s you who will be my only daughter-in-law, not Gu Yan.”
Chen Qian saw hope but still pretended to be in sorrow and said, “But Yichen is so obsessed with Gu Yan. Auntie, let go. I don’t intend to cause any misunderstanding between you and Yichen.”
Hearing Chen Qian’s words, Li Yunhong liked her more. The silly girl was thoughtful. She was almost losing her beloved man, but she gave priority to Li Yunhong’s feeling, for which Li Yunhong was more satisfied with Chen Qian.
Li Yunhong comforted her, “Qianqian, how can you win back Yichen like this? You should compete with Gu Yan. Visit Yichen more often. He will find your goodness sooner or later!”
“Even if Gu Yan temporarily fascinates Yichen, I won’t let her succeed!”
Chen Qian was happy for gaining Li Yunhong’s support. But she hated Gu Yan even more at the thought of Mo Yichen’s love to Gu Yan.
A look of maliciousness crossed Chen Qian’s face and disappeared in no time. She faked weakness, and whispered to Li Yunhong, “Auntie, you should be nice to Gu Yan. If you are bad to Gu Yan, Yichen may think it’s me who encourage you to do so.”
Li Yunhong said harshly, “He won’t! If he dares to doubt you, I won’t forgive him!”
Chen Qian continued to cry, “Auntie, Yichen still knows nothing about me. He is obsessed with Gu Yan. Also, he has a deep misunderstanding about me. If you are bad to Gu Yan, he’ll definitely blame on me!”
Chen Qian wiped her tears, continued to say, “Auntie, will you back me up?”
Li Yunhong wiped tears for her, and said with compassion, “Silly girl, I’ll help you. Don’t cry!”
Li Yunhong’s words pacified Chen Qian. She couldn’t refrain from smiling through tears, and then thanked Li Yunhong.
After this incident, Li Yunhong felt that Chen Qian was considerate and thoughtful. She even felt that if Chen Qian married Yichen, Chen Qian could take good care of Xiangyan and be a good wife of Yichen.
…
This night, Gu Yan took Xiangyan’s temperature every hour. By midnight, Xiangyan’s fever was reduced a lot. He was sleeping during the daytime and was not sleepy now.
He was happy when he saw his father beside him. Also, this beautiful auntie gave him a very cordial feeling that he had never experienced before. Gu Yan made him feel warm and comfortable.
Gu Yan sat at his bedside. Xiangyan was better, for which Gu Yan feel relieved. She smiled to him, “Xiangyan, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?”
Xiangyan didn’t eat anything for a whole day. He replied, “I want ice cream.”
Mo Yichen said to Gu Yan, “Yanyan, Xiangyan likes you very much. Wait here, and I’ll buy it!”
Gu Yan quickly grabbed the sleeves of Mo Yichen and said, “Xiangyan hasn’t quite recovered yet and cannot eat ice cream. It’s not good for his health.”
Gu Yan frowned, which deeply fascinated Mo Yichen.
Gu Yan didn’t realize that her present appearance was full of motherly love!
Gu Yan picked up the apple that Mo Yichen had peeled for her before, and said to Xiangyan, “Xiangyan, you are sick now, so you cannot eat ice cream. But you can eat apples. It’s yummy. Do you want to try?”
Then she gave him a slice of apple. Mo Xiangyan frowned at the apple. But when he saw Mo Yichen’s cold eyes, he ate it immediately.
Gu Yan coaxed Xiangyan into eating apple. Xiangyan felt strange but warm. Although he had been fed by nannies, he felt Gu Yan was different from those nannies.
Soon, he ate up the whole apple. He thought apple was tastier than ice cream, and would like another one. He looked at Gu Yan with pitiful eyes.
His sight melted Gu Yan’s heart. Then she turned to Mo Yichen and asked Mo Yichen to peel another one.
Mo Yichen said to Xiangyan, “It’s bad for your health to eat too much at night.”
Mo Xiangyan dared not to disobey Mo Yichen, and said in a tedious voice, “OK!”
To comfort Xiangyan, Gu Yan said softly to him, “Xiangyan, do you want to listen to stories?”
Stories! Xiangyan suddenly refreshed. He never listened to bedtime stories since he was a baby. Then he nodded and answered with excitement, “Yes!”
Gu Yan tucked the quilt around him and began to tell a story, “In the past, there was a princess, she…”
Gu Yan told him the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Although Mo Xiangyan had listened to the story before, he still enjoyed the story with great interest.
A few moments later, Xiangyan fell asleep in the story.
Mo Yichen looked at Gu Yan’s side face, addicted. She was glimmering when she was telling stories.
Looking at the scene, he felt warm and harmonious, also pity not to spend more time with Gu Yan.
From now on, no one could take Gu Yan from him and destroy the harmonious relationship that he cherished so much.
Looking at Gu Yan, Mo Yichen thought.
