Chapter 306 There was no need to bring presents
“That’s it. All right. Now let’s go home.”
“Rat-a-tat…” They arrived at the door. The servant opened the door and lowered her head at once with respect when she saw Mo Yichen and Gu Yan.
“Welcome home, Master. Madam has been waiting for you for a long time. She is in the study now.” The servant said in a low and soft tone, which made Gu Yan thought the servant was a little afraid of Mo Yichen.
Absolutely, Mo Yichen was a cold-blooded monster in others’ eyes, without any feelings. Few people really knew what kind of person Mo Yichen was, so Gu Yan was glad that she was the only one who knew and understood him well, and she was proud of that.
Gu Yan tuned her head to Mo Yichen, looking at his handsome face. The warm twilight was shining on his charming face, and the smooth skin entranced Gu Yan a lot. What a handsome guy. Every move of Mo Yichen was so charming and pleasing.
“Gu Yan… Gu Yan? What’s wrong with you? Come in quickly…” Gu Yan was wake up from wandering by Mo Yichen’s magnetic voice. And she suddenly realized that they were all staring at her.
“I’m fine. I’m just a little distracted. I’m sorry about that.” Gu Yan came in and closed the door slowly. Xiangyan hurriedly rummaged in the shoe cabinet after changing his shoes, which made Mo Yichen and Gu Yan feel confused. They were staring at Xiangyan and wondered what Xiangyan was looking for.
After a while, Xiangyan took out a pair of new slippers for Gu Yan, and the size was just right for Gu Yan’s feet. He put the slippers in front of Gu Yan’s feet and then looked up at her. Gu Yan was so touched when she saw that.
“Aunt Gu, try it. It’s yours. I will be so happy if you can come often.” Xiangyan’s exciting voice caught Li Yunhong’s attention, who was reading in the study.
Gu Yan changed the slippers that Xiangyan handed to her. She turned back to look at Mo Yichen and wanted to get the approval from his eyes. Mo Yichen just gave her a wink. The moment Gu Yan stepped in the house, she felt uncomfortable, as if she was trapped in a cage, and it was breathless and unfree. She had to do everything carefully, in case any accident would happen.
“Wow, you are back. Please come here and have a seat.” Li Yunhong said while she came out of the study. She was so hospitable that her attitude surprised everyone here.
“Yan, come here, oh… That’s very kind of you. You don’t need to buy presents for me. Come here whenever you want. Make yourself at home. You’re always welcome at our house. Just suit yourself. I heard that Xiangyan likes you very much. Come to me.” Li Yunhong quickly went downstairs from the second floor. She pulled Gu Yan’s arms and dragged her to the sofa. Li Yunhong took what in Gu Yan’ hands and handed that to the servant.
Li Yunhong held Gu Yan’s hands and sat on the sofa, touching her thin fingers with kindness, which surprised Mo Yichen and Xiangyan. Mo Yichen was so delightful for that. Actually, he was so worried about them and afraid that something unhappy would happen between them. It looked like he was overthinking it.
He knew that his mom cared about himself because she could understand the dilemma he was in. What she did was only for him. It was gratifying that his mom could get along well with Gu yan without any conflict.
Xiangyan was happy, too. He was relieved because his grandma’s attitude towards Aunt Gu changed a great deal. So, he just went to the garden, playing with golden retriever.
“Aunt, this is the gift I prepared for you. I specially chose this necklace for you. I heard that you like this kind of things, so I asked my friend to buy this limited edition for you. I hope you will like it.” Gu Yan pointed to the gift and tried her best to calm down.
Gu Yan thought, “What happens to Li Yunhong? How does her attitude change so quickly? Based on her behavior, it seems that she is not pretending. Has she figure out that I am not as vicious as she thought? Does she come to persuade herself to accept me?”
“Happiness comes too fast.” Gu Yan thought. Looking at Li Yunhong’s gentle face, Gu Yan suddenly thought Li Yunhong was a little like her mom, who was soft and kind.
“Really? Thank you. But don’t do that again. You know what? I am so lonely to live in such a big house. I always feel boring because no one can talk to me. As for my son, he is always busy with his work and hardly comes back to see me.” Li Yunhong pointed at Mo Yichen and looked at him sadly. But she changed her expression at once when she turned back.
Gu Yan looked at Mo Yichen with worry. She didn’t expect that Li Yunhong would be so nice. So, she cheered up and tried her best to undo her knot in her mind. After all, Li Yunhong had already taken the first step. So, she had to follow Li Yunhong then.
“Thank you, aunt. If you need me in the future, just let me know. I’m on call.” Gu Yan stammered. She was a little nervous and saw that Mo Yichen was laughing at her. She scratched her head awkwardly.
“Don’t mention it, my sweetie. Yan, Mo Yichen and Xiangyan are count on you in the future. You have to take good care of them. They are not free from worry at all even if they are independent in daily life. In fact, they need someone to take care of them.”
Li Yunhong’s words were so sincere that everyone here believed that.
“Aunt, don’t worry. I will try my best to take care of them. Xiangyan is really a good boy. He always cares about everyone’s feelings. That’s not easy for a child to do that.”
Gu Yan was chatting with Li Yunhong at ease. But when she looked up at Li Yunhong, she saw that Li Yunhong’s expression was so serious. It was very different from her expression before. Instead, it was full of disgust, as if she was staring at a murderer. The terrible eyes made Gu Yan be scared.
