Chapter 209 - Taking care of Xiangyan at home

Gu Yan went to the restroom, turned the tap on, and was wondering why Li Yunhong changed her attitude today.

It seemed like a dream. Gu Yan was confused about Li Yunhong’s attitude.

She looked at herself in the mirror and found that she was haggard. But for her fine features, the dark circles under her eyes would made her more withered.

“Gu Yan, what are you thinking about? Hurry up. Let’s eat breakfast.”

Mo Yichen didn’t know why Gu Yan was dull and silent after walking out of the ward.

“Yichen, don’t you think that your mom’s attitude towards me today is different from that in the past?”

Mo Yichen paused, closed his lips tightly and leaned against the door of the restroom. His feet dangled as he mused. Thinking of Li Yunhong’s words and expression, he found she was indeed friendly to Gu Yan today. So, he nodded in agreement.

“It seems that she changed a little. Don’t think too much, and just be who you are.”

“My mom is a kind person. She just misunderstood you. After getting along with you for a long time, she will find how nice you are and she will like you.” Mo Yichen added.

Hearing his words, Gu Yan sighed with emotion. It was true that time would reveal a man’s heart.

Then she dressed herself well, smoothed her unkempt hair, and refined her makeup. She clenched her fists in front of the chest to encourage herself to be confident, “Gu Yan, come on! Believe in yourself.”

Looking at Gu Yan’s nervous look, Mo Yichen felt that she looked like a cute doll. He couldn’t help looking at her up and down affectionately.

“Okay, Yichen. Shall we go?”

Finally, Gu Yan plucked up the courage to hold Mo Yichen’s arm and leave with him slowly.

“Are you looking at beautiful women just now?”

Gu Yan whispered to Mo Yichen.

“No. I’m looking at the child next to me. He wears a hospital gown but tries to make his parents happy…I know that feeling.”

“I guess that this poor child has got an incurable disease. So, his father is anxious and his mother bursts into tears. The child must know his condition, so he tried to make his parents happy.”

“What a pity! A happy family is torn apart by the disease, making me distressing…”

Mo Yichen described with sympathy and kindness, which was different from his strong attitude in the past.

“Well, a poor child.”

Gu Yan leaned on Mo Yichen’s shoulder, enjoying his thoughtful love to her. Compared to that poor family, they seemed to be happier. Thus, they should cherish the happy time now.

“I already have such a beautiful woman to accompany me. You are the apple of my eyes. Obviously, there’s no need to see other women. You are so childish to ask me that question.”

Mo Yichen quickly changed the topic to avoid Gu Yan being sentimental. After all, women were more sentimental. When they were touched by some poor people and things, they would show infinite maternal love and might do outrageous things.

“Oh, you often speak honeyed words.” Gu Yan smiled.

Mo Yichen touched her nose affectionately. In his eyes, she was always cute. Even when she lost her temper, he still felt very happy. Maybe it was because of the magic of love. As long as the one you loved was with you, you would feel happy no matter what happened.

When they went back to the ward, the doctor was talking to Li Yunhong. Xiangyan was playing with the toys on the bed and looked very happy.

When Gu Yan walked in with her arm holding Mo Yichen, she and Li Yunhong looked at each other. She shyly nodded to say hello and put her arm down. Then she bowed her head and kept silent.

“How is Xiangyan now?” Mo Yichen asked the doctor.

Although Xiangyan giggled on the bed, Mo Yichen was still worried about his condition.

“Xiangyan just catches the common cold, not the flu. So, don’t worry.”

“The fever had gone down, so he can be discharged from the hospital today. It is normal for a child to get sick. Don’t worry. Take care of him and avoid the chill wind. He will recuperate completely a few days later.”

The doctor explained with a smile. He gave the best plan in his mind to them and asked the parents for their opinions.

“Well, he is too young. I think it’s better for him to stay here a few more days. When he recuperates completely, we’ll pick him up and leave the hospital. Is that OK?”

Li Yunhong was reluctant. She hoped her grandson could recuperate in the hospital totally. Only in that case, she could be relieved.

“Ms. Li, I think there’s no need to stay here. But it’s up to you. If you want to let the baby for more observation, we would like to respect your opinion.”

“Auntie, I feel that it’s better for Xiangyan to be discharged from hospital today. Yichen and I will take good care of him.”

“There are viruses in the hospital. It’s hard for children to resist. I think it would be better for him to recuperate at home.”

Gu Yan said confidently. After all, Xiangyan was her own son. She did all things for the sake of him, and she would take care of him to keep him safe.

“Mom, I also believe that it is better for him to recuperate at home. Moreover, the doctor has said that Xiangyan just caught a common cold, and it’s nothing serious.”

Li Yunhong was speechless then. She had to agree with them reluctantly.

“Okay, let’s go home.”

After finishing the discharge formalities, Mo Yichen, Li Yunhong and Gu Yan took Xiangyan home. The four people looked particularly harmonious.

Hiding in a corner, Chen Qian found that the four people were getting along well and looked harmonious. She couldn’t hold back her anger, clenched her fists tightly and gnashed her teeth. Then she threw the breakfast prepared for Li Yunhong and Mo Yichen and kicked the trash can in the corridor.

Her rude behavior attracted many people’s attention. They pointed at and talked about her. A person even shot a video by phone. Chen Qian rushed to the person and threw the phone to the ground. Then she fled in disgrace.
