Chapter 157 Becoming Uncle Dan's Wife

"If I hold on to you, you won't let go, will you?" Gu Ji's eyes were filled with accusation, and her teary eyes were brimming with affection.

Dan An blinked her beautiful eyes slightly, her tone indulgent and coaxing, "It's my fault, but if I let go, you'll cry, little one."

These words made it difficult for Gu Ji to get angry. She knew he was telling the truth, so she could only bite her lower lip lightly. Dan An, seeing this, gently stroked her lips with his fingertips to make her let go.

"You'll bite your lip and it'll bleed," Dan Anwen sighed softly, knowing the child wasn't ready.

Gu Ji said in a gentle tone, "Uncle Dan, don't sigh. I'm not afraid of Aunt Zhang finding out about our relationship. I'm just a little shy."

She wasn't afraid of Aunt Zhang and the others finding out; what she worried about most was the Dan family finding out. She didn't care about what others thought, but her close Dan family was a source of warmth in her heart, so she couldn't help but care about their opinions.

Dan Anwen pursed his thin lips slightly; he was well aware of the child's thoughts.

"Then the little one shouldn't be too shy, after all, many people will find out in the future." Dan Anwen hugged Gu Ji even tighter.

Gu Ji nodded shyly, "I understand, I will try my best to adapt to this identity."

Dan An smiled and didn't say anything.

After Aunt Zhang brought the porridge up, Dan Anwen, considering that her hands were not in a convenient position, personally fed her.

As she ate, Gu Ji's eyes began to wander, because she felt that the atmosphere in the room was somewhat ambiguous.

She only realized something was wrong when she saw the nightgown she was wearing.

Did she wear this nightgown last night?

"Uncle Dan, my clothes..." Gu Ji opened his clear eyes, looking puzzled.

Dan An paused in feeding the porridge, his expression slightly unnatural, and cleared his throat a few times. "I changed it for you at noon."

Now it was Gu Ji's turn to cough. His already sore and itchy throat became even more uncomfortable, as if he was about to cough up his entire lungs.

Upon seeing this, Dan An put down the bowl, patted her back, and handed her the water glass from the bedside.

After finally stopping coughing, Gu Ji's slightly red eyes were filled with anger and embarrassment. "You... how could you take off my clothes?"

Dan Anwen secretly rubbed his fingertips, mentally rehearsing, "Aunt Zhang wanted to wipe your sweat, but you refused and insisted on holding my hand, so I'll have to wipe it for you myself."

Gu Ji was about to faint completely; it turned out it was all because of her own actions.

"So that's how Aunt Zhang found out we were dating?" Gu Ji suddenly remembered that his gaze had clearly lingered on her for a moment earlier, but at the time she was too busy looking at their intertwined hands.

Dan An noticed that she was slow to realize what was happening and almost laughed, but he managed to hold it in.

"Yes, I wanted to reassure Aunt Zhang that I would wipe your sweat, so I told her about our relationship."

Gu Ji felt her entire face begin to burn, and the scalding heat around her ears made her want to shrink her whole body into the blanket.

She felt her whole body turning red and hot, and she didn't dare to look directly into Dan Anwen's eyes.

Dan Anwen's alluring eyes lifted, and he lifted her head to kiss her red lips, smiling as he said, "I didn't look at your body; I kept my eyes closed the whole time."

The children are still too young. If he sees their bodies, they will inevitably be shy and hide from him.

This deal is not worthwhile.

Gu Ji raised her eyes, which were as clear as autumn water, and asked in a soft voice with a slight nasal tone, "Really?"

Dan An, finding her adorable, couldn't resist touching her lips without the slightest greed, and whispered, "Really, I didn't see anything."

She clearly hadn't expected that although Dan Anwen hadn't looked at her body, he had already touched everything he wanted to touch.

Seeing that she had been fooled by him, Dan Anwen breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Ji looked at the faint smell still pressed against her lips, and gently pushed him away, her voice soft and sweet, "A cold can be contagious."

She didn't want him to get sick too.

"It's okay. Even if I get infected, it's my own choice." Dan An smiled and gently cupped her head, then kissed her.

After finishing his porridge, Dan Anwen went downstairs to eat and then checked his phone for messages.

Guan Xiang: Happy birthday, Zhao Zhao! You're another year older and one step closer to becoming Mrs. Dan.

Mother: Happy Birthday to all students! May you be happy every day. (Red envelope)

Dan Si: Happy Student Day! I'll bring the gift to Jinshan Villa tomorrow.

Yao Xin: Happy birthday, Zhao Zhao! May you be happy and healthy every year.

Dan Shu: Happy Student Day! Have a great time with your uncle!

Danfu: Happy Student Day! (Red envelope)

Shen Jiyang: Happy birthday to Dan Anwen's little friend! (Red envelope)

Hang Yan: Happy birthday to Dan Anwen's little friend! (Red envelope)

Upon seeing these messages, Gu Ji realized that today was her birthday, and the original plan was for Uncle Dan to take her to Cloud Mist Villa for some alone time.

But now everything is ruined because she's sick.

Looking at the tiny needle marks on the back of his hand, Gu Ji sighed deeply.

As soon as Dan Anwen entered, he heard her sigh, his tone tinged with barely perceptible tension, "Why is my little girlfriend sighing?"

Gu Ji rested her chin on her hands and pouted, "My birthday is ruined just like that, and our time together is gone too."

Dan Anwen curled his lips; he had thought something had happened.

She gently patted his head with her palm. "Who said there isn't? If we can't go to Cloud Mist Manor, we'll celebrate our birthdays at home. Aunt Zhang has already gone home, so we can still have our own private time."

Gu Ji's originally dull eyes lit up, and her bright eyes held a hint of expectation.

Dan Anwen chuckled softly, turned off the room lights, and walked to the door to bring in a cake with lit candles.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to the little one.

As the flickering candlelight illuminated the man's gentle face, Gu Ji suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

"Make a wish, my little girlfriend." Dan Anwen's thin lips curved slightly, his voice carrying the deep magnetism of a mature man, yet also possessing his unique gentleness.

Gu Ji closed his eyes and secretly made a wish.

I hope to become Uncle Dan's wife soon.

She suddenly remembered Guan Xiang's birthday wishes earlier, and it seemed that becoming Uncle Dan's wife would be very happy.

Thinking of this, Gu Ji's slightly closed lips curled up slightly, which was caught by Dan Anwen, who was watching her closely.

After Gu Ji blew out the candles, Dan An asked, "Is the child's wish related to me?"

This wasn't hard for him to guess, since the first thing she did upon opening her eyes wasn't to blow out the candles, but to look at him.

Gu Ji blinked her almond-shaped eyes slightly, completely unmoved by the man's attempts to trick her into revealing information. "I won't tell you."

Upon seeing this, Dan An didn't press the matter further, but instead smiled indulgently, his handsome features filled with the image of the gentle young girl before him.
