Chapter 72

After the meal, An An will take a rest soon.

Gu Yanling: "Your Highness, if you are busy, I will take my senior brother and An An back."

Xiao Xinghan: "Not busy, I just happen to be free this afternoon."

Gu Yanling immediately stared at him to determine whether what he said was true or not.

Xiao Xinghan raised his hand to cover the back of Gu Yanling's hand on the table, and said to Wu Jingmo, "During Yanling's pregnancy, thanks to Senior Brother Wu's care, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you. It just so happens that Senior Brother Wu is coming over, so please stay with me for a few days. Please let me treat you well."

Wu Jingmo didn't say anything, but looked at Gu Yanling.

Gu Yanling had no choice but to say, "Well, Senior Brother, why don't you stay at His Highness's place for a few days? I'm staying there too, so I can just entertain you well."

Wu Jingmo naturally had no objection to what his junior brother said, "Then I'll trouble you, Your Highness."

Xiao Xinghan: "It's not a problem. Yan Ling's senior brother is my senior brother."

Gu Yanling scratched her face.

The cub was having a snack after dinner. After listening to what they said, he said, "An An will also go live with father!"

Xiao Xinghan stood up and squatted in front of him. Seeing that his little hands were holding snacks and his little face was round from eating, he said, "You should eat less after dinner."

An An nodded.

Xiao Xinghan smiled and touched his head. If he hadn't considered the two elders of the Gu family, he would have wanted to take the child back yesterday. This morning, he had asked Li Youfu to prepare all the things needed for the child. An An brought it himself, so there was no reason for him to refuse.

When Wu Jingmo came to the capital, he naturally had to visit the two elders of the Gu family, not to mention that his luggage was still in Gu Yanling's yard.

Baoweilou was close to Gu's residence, so the group did not take a carriage but walked slowly.

Gu Yanling pulled Xiao Xinghan to the back and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do? My senior brother has been living in Yaowang Valley for a long time. It's not easy for him to come out. Don't scare him."

Xiao Xinghan listened to him calling him "Senior Brother" and said, "I am a ferocious beast, or I look hideous, but I am your Senior Brother. You want to treat me with hospitality, but this can scare me? Your Senior Brother is really too timid."

Gu Yanling snorted: "Don't be jealous, my brother is just my brother."

Xiao Xinghan remained silent.

An An leaned on Wu Jingmo's shoulder and saw that his father and mother were lagging behind. "Daddy, father, what are you whispering about?"

Gu Yanling pulled Xiao Xinghan and quickly followed, "Here we come, here we come, nothing to say."

Gu Qifu and Su Lixiao had just finished their meal when the servant told them that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Young Master Wu had arrived. They hurriedly asked someone to prepare tea and snacks and went out to greet them.

"Your Highness—"

Xiao Xinghan raised his hand: "No need to be polite."

"Your Highness, please take a seat."

Wu Jingmo greeted with a smile: "Uncle and aunt, how are you these days?"

Wu Jingmo and Gu Yanling were close, and the Gu family had always treated him like a half-son. Gu Qifu patted his shoulder and said, "Everything is fine. You might as well stay here until the end of the year."

Su Lixiao: "Yan'er is such a jerk. You've been traveling all the way here, but he didn't even let you rest and just dragged you out."

Gu Yanling sat down next to Xiao Xinghan and poured him a cup of tea. Seeing that they were talking to their senior brother about the past, she hurriedly said, "Come on, sit down. Senior brother, you should sit down too."

Gu Qifu: "Yes, sit down, sit down."

With Xiao Xinghan present, Gu Qifu and Su Lixiao felt somewhat restrained. They just kept inviting him to drink tea and said very little.

Gu Yanling was used to it. After all, Xiao Xinghan's status was there, and they couldn't treat their son-in-law like ordinary people. "By the way, Dad, Mom, His Highness wants to entertain Senior Brother. Senior Brother, come with me to live with His Highness."

Gu Qifu: "How can I do that? Your Highness is so busy——"

Xiao Xinghan: "Not busy recently."

Gu Qifu smiled awkwardly.

Gu Yanling: "An An also wants to stay there for a few days. Mom, if you miss An An, I can send her over during the day. It's close anyway."

Su Lixiao nodded: "I cut two more small clothes for An An and asked He Hua to pick them up. You can take them with you later."

Gu Yanling laughed and said, "You only cut An An's hair, but not mine? Why are you being partial, mother?"

Su Lixiao glanced at him helplessly: "You are still like a child in front of His Highness, aren't you afraid that His Highness will laugh at you?"

Xiao Xinghan: "It's okay, Yan Ling's childish heart only makes me love her."

Gu Qifu felt a pang of annoyance after hearing this, and when he looked at his son's smiling face, he felt even more uncomfortable.

He still remembered the scene when his son kissed Xiao Xinghan in public in Yangzhou.

Wu Jingmo was confused: "Uncle, are you feeling unwell? You don't look well."

Gu Qifu: "...Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night."

Wu Jingmo said from a doctor's perspective: "You still need to pay more attention to rest."

Gu Yanling: “…”

For the sake of his father's health, Gu Yanling quickly found an excuse and took Xiao Xinghan to his yard.

An An had fallen asleep, sleeping soundly with a smile on her face. Gu Yanling asked Zhaocai to watch over her while he packed some clothes for An An.

Xiao Xinghan was beside him: "Does your senior brother often come to your house?"

Gu Yanling knew why he asked this. After all, his parents treated his senior brother politely with a familiar intimacy, and it was obvious that they had frequent contact. "Well, my senior brother lost his mother when he was young. Master likes to travel around the world. When we were young, my senior brother often came home with me. Not to mention that compared to me, my senior brother is a steady person with high medical skills. My mother even wanted to arrange a marriage for my senior brother a few years ago."

Xiao Xinghan: "Then why haven't you gotten married yet? Your senior brother is so old."

Gu Yanling was amused: "Your Highness, my senior brother is two years younger than you, how can he be so old!"

Xiao Xinghan pinched his face unhappily.

Gu Yanling passed her arms under Xiao Xinghan's armpits and hugged him, looking up and saying, "You're almost there. My senior brother and I grew up together. He treated me like his own brother and was very kind to me. Moreover, when I was a child, I got sick and none of the doctors in the city could cure me. It was my master, the miracle doctor, who cured me. Not to mention when I gave birth to An An, it was also thanks to my master and senior brother. Most people would have died if they hadn't been careful with such a big cut on their stomach. My master and senior brother are not only my relatives, but also my saviors!"

Xiao Xinghan felt a pang of fear when he thought of the dangerous childbirth of Gu Yanling. Although Gu Yanling appeared in front of him now, she was alive and kicking, but it was unusual for her to have a cesarean section during childbirth. He had never participated in Gu Yanling's pregnancy and childbirth. He felt a little regretful. Although he was jealous, he was grateful to his master and senior brother. He rubbed his chin against the top of Gu Yanling's head and kissed his forehead. "They are also my saviors."

Gu Yanling said with a smile: "I'm glad to know. If it weren't for my master and senior brother, you wouldn't be able to see me now. How could you get such a cute little baby like An An?"

Xiao Xinghan didn't want to hear these bad words, so he bent down and kissed his lips.

Gu Yanling kissed him back, but didn't dare make any noise, for fear that Zhaocai would hear it. Finally, with red ears, she buried her face in Xiao Xinghan's chest, breathing slowly.

Xiao Xinghan kept kissing his ears, and Gu Yanling couldn't stand it. Not only did his ears feel numb, but his heart also felt itchy. He tilted his head to avoid his kiss: "Be careful of the occasion. This is my house. Didn't you see that my dad's face turned green just now?"

Xiao Xinghan didn't go too far. If he continued to kiss her, she would get angry. But he said, "Can't I kiss my future Crown Princess?"

Gu Yanling: "Go back and kiss me, you can do whatever you want, even if you make my mouth swollen, no one will say anything to you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xinghan touched his butt with his big hand and whispered in his ear, "Your mouth won't just be swollen when you go back."

Gu Yanling: “…”

This person is so shameless, thinking about these things in broad daylight!!

Xiao Xinghan didn't tease him anymore. After tidying up their clothes, he came out from the inner room. An An was still sleeping.

Zhaocai sat beside the couch and watched. He now knew Xiao Xinghan's identity and the relationship between his young master and him. He admired his young master very much for doing such a big thing quietly.

An An was going to live with Xiao Xinghan. On the first night, the father and son showed their deep affection, so it was reasonable for the three of them to sleep together. Gu Yanling knew too well how much desire Xiao Xinghan had.

At that time, An An will still have to sleep alone, so Gu Yanling must bring Zhaocai with her. After all, Zhaocai takes good care of An An, but considering that Zhaocai is not young anymore.

Gu Yanling: "Let my mother take a look tomorrow, and I will also arrange a marriage for you. See if there is anyone you like. I will prepare the money for you to marry a wife."

Zhaocai was a little embarrassed when he heard about getting married, but he also wanted a wife and children in his heart. "Zhaocai, thank you very much, young master."

Gu Yanling was helpless: "If I don't mention it, you won't know how to say it."

Zhaocai didn't feel comfortable bringing up this matter. His young master hadn't even gotten married yet, yet he seemed so anxious.

Gu Yanling pulled Xiao Xinghan out of the inner room. Coincidentally, Wu Jingmo came over with the servants. "Brother, what did my father and the others say to you? Why did they talk for so long?"

Wu Jingmo: "Uncle and aunt just asked about your health and told me such a big thing, how could I listen to you and hide it from them?"

Gu Yanling: "Oh, this matter has long passed, don't mention it again."

Wu Jingmo glanced at Xiao Xinghan and said, "It's all in the past, but you went through so much hardship and suffering during pregnancy and childbirth. Your uncle and aunt are worried about you."

Gu Yanling knew that his senior brother was speaking for him, so he hurriedly said, "...Your Highness also cares about me. Okay, okay, I'll have the servants boil some water, you can go take a bath."

Wu Jingmo responded, nodded and greeted Xiao Xinghan, then followed the servants to the bathroom to take a bath.

Gu Yanling pulled Xiao Xinghan into the empty room, "Your Highness, don't take my brother's words to heart. You didn't know I was pregnant and gave birth. I ran away on my own. It was also because I didn't learn the skills well enough that I made the Disguise Pill into a Childbearing Pill—"

Seeing that Gu Yanling was still trying to comfort him, Xiao Xinghan felt his heart warm at what he said. He hugged him on his lap and asked, "Are you stupid?"

Gu Yanling deliberately said in a boastful tone, "Who's stupid? I'm smart. I said this to move you. Once you're moved, you have to listen to me. Whatever I say is what I do."

Xiao Xinghan's noses were close to his: "What do you want me to listen to?"

Gu Yanling: "From now on, if I say no, you can't pretend you didn't hear me, and you can't always do bad things."

Xiao Xinghan bit his lower lip: "You said that on purpose to provoke me."

Gu Yanling smiled and said, "No, it's just that you lack concentration."

Xiao Xinghan pinched his waist, and Gu Yanling immediately softened. He begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I won't provoke you anymore."

However, after Gu Yanling's interruption, Xiao Xinghan's mood did improve a lot.

Gu Yanling hugged Xiao Xinghan's neck, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Your Highness, actually, when I was pregnant, I missed you very much and kept dreaming about you."

Before Xiao Xinghan could say anything, Gu Yanling said, "I've been having erotic dreams for over a month."

Xiao Xinghan: "..."
