Ye Lichuan was puzzled when she turned her head, so he also moved to see Gu Anran's face. She quickly stopped smiling and looked at him innocently. In the end, she gave in.
"Okay, I was just teasing you." Gu Anran snuggled into Ye Lichuan's arms and chuckled softly.
Ye Lichuan sighed helplessly and ruffled her casually tied hair, saying, "Go ahead and lie to me all you want."
After packing the clothes in the suitcase, Ye Lichuan carried it out, put it in an inconspicuous cabinet in the storage room, locked it, and then returned to the bedroom, where the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
Perhaps because she had slept too long yesterday afternoon, Gu Anran opened her eyes and turned to look at the clock. It was only 6:30. She sat up, stretched, lifted the covers, and carefully got out of bed. Ye Lichuan was still asleep. She bent down, poked his face, and smiled.
The villa was quiet. Gu Anran looked around her new home as she walked towards the kitchen. The refrigerator was well-stocked. She casually took out some fruits, vegetables, bread, and meat. She thought about turning on the breakfast machine, putting the raw food in to cook, and then adding bread and vegetables.
After preparing a simple breakfast, she picked up her plate and went to the table.
"Madam?" a strange voice rang out.
Gu Anran was startled, and the plate almost tipped over.
She looked up and saw a woman around forty years old.
What should I call her? Madam?
The aunt laughed apologetically, "Did I scare you? I'm so sorry." She took a few steps back, looking at the other person warily.
“Madam, I’m the housekeeper Mr. Ye hired. My surname is Wu, you can just call me Aunt Wu. Because it was too late yesterday, he asked me to come early this morning to prepare breakfast for you. I didn’t expect you to be so virtuous,” she said, walking over. “Madam, are you pregnant? Pregnant women have to be careful, don’t fall. Let me do it.”
Gu Anran placed the plate on the counter and made room for her. She carefully protected her lower abdomen and watched Aunt Wu leave first before following her. She heard some noises coming from the stairs and looked over.
"Sir," Aunt Wu called out.
"Um, you must be Aunt Wu?" Ye Lichuan looked at what Aunt Wu was holding and was somewhat dissatisfied.
This auntie's breakfast is so haphazard; it has absolutely no nutritional value. I'll go back and find a different auntie to do it.
Aunt Wu nodded, put down her plate, and stood aside.
Ye Lichuan sat down and caught a glimpse of another figure out of the corner of his eye.
"Anran?" He stood up and helped Gu Anran sit down. "Why are you in the kitchen?"
"I'll make breakfast."
He glanced at the three sandwiches on the table and realized that he had misunderstood.
After a while, Gu Xiaotian rubbed his eyes, slowly went downstairs, and sat on a stool.
"Xiao Tian, this is our new auntie, her name is Aunt Wu." Gu Anran gestured to Xiao Tian.
"Hello, Aunt Wu." He sat down to one side, looked up, and smiled.
"Okay, okay, you guys eat first. I'll go check out the kitchen and familiarize myself with it," Aunt Wu replied, and after Gu Anran nodded, she turned and went to the kitchen.
"Don't do such dangerous things next time. What if you trip over something in the kitchen? Just sleep peacefully," Ye Lichuan said after thinking for a while.
Gu Anran nodded. She had chosen the easiest breakfast machine for breakfast out of safety considerations, but although the sandwich was simple, it wasn't a long-term solution. Besides, there was Aunt Wu to take care of.
After breakfast, Gu Xiaotian sat down to read a book, while Gu Anran wanted to go for a walk outside. Ye Lichuan insisted on going with her, so she had no choice but to agree.
Gu Anran picked a leaf and repeated to him what Xiaotian had told him yesterday.
"Because you're pregnant?" Ye Lichuan frowned. He hadn't expected the boy to be so sentimental. She nodded, playing with a leaf in her hand, and leaned against Ye Lichuan.
He helped Gu Anran up. "We'll have to let him think about it some more. We won't be staying here for long, but if he wants to train himself, I support him."
“That’s what I think too.” Gu Anran smiled and looked at Ye Lichuan.
After wandering around for a while, Gu Anran lay on the bed to rest, exhausted, while Ye Lichuan went to the study to deal with emails.
After lying down for a while, she couldn't fall asleep again and wanted to go find Xiaotian, but found him studying. She silently turned around and left, walked around the villa and sighed. It seemed that she was the only one with nothing to do.
She got up, intending to go to the rooftop to take a look. Aunt Wu noticed and quietly followed her. Hearing footsteps behind her, Gu Anran turned around in confusion, "Aunt Wu?"
"Oh, Madam." Aunt Wu, not expecting to be discovered, walked forward with an embarrassed smile.
"Are you following me? What are you doing following me?" To murder her child? That's unlikely.
"No, no, I'm just going to check if there's anything on the roof that I need to take care of. I'm not going with you, Madam."
She smiled sheepishly and made up an excuse to get away with it.
Seeing Aunt Wu's stammering appearance, Gu Anran understood. She went downstairs and said, "Aunt Wu, you can do as you please. I'll go back now." Aunt Wu hesitated for a moment, then sighed and went downstairs as well.
Hearing footsteps behind her again, she got angry, but she held back. So, except for going out to eat, she stayed in her room all day.
Two days passed, and Ye Lichuan also noticed that something was wrong.
"Is something wrong? Why are you always staying in your room?"
"No." Gu Anran was drowsy and had been getting sleepier and sleepier these past few days. Seeing her like this, Ye Lichuan didn't say anything more. When she really couldn't sleep anymore, she got up and went out to use the restroom, and Gu Anran followed her as usual.
She was speechless and quickly left the bathroom and went to her room. Ye Lichuan saw that she was safe and went back to his study.
He looked at the dense text on the computer screen, feeling a bit of a headache, and took out his phone to dial a number.
"Hey, Dad, I want to open a branch office here." He got straight to the point, without a single wasted word.
"Huh? So suddenly?" Ye's father was still a little confused due to the time difference. Ye Lichuan only realized that his father was currently in China when he heard the hoarse voice on the other end.
“I’m worried about Anran’s pregnancy here, so I have to stay with her. But I can’t completely ignore the company’s affairs either. This is the result of my thinking,” he explained patiently.
Awakened, Ye's father was wide awake. After carefully listening to his thoughts, he asked him to explain his specific plan. Ye Lichuan, who already had a plan, presented his prepared proposal.
Ye's father pointed out the parts he had missed or overlooked, and asked him to revise them and send the plan and proposal to his email.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Lichuan continued to handle his business.
Gu Anran was bored and wanted to find something to do. Just as she was about to make a move, Ye Lichuan was about to leave the study again. Helpless, she turned around, put her hands on her hips and looked at him.
Ye Lichuan remained unmoved by her accusing gaze. "I'm worried." He was about to help Gu Anran when she pushed him away.
"Can you leave me alone? You're making me feel like a prisoner..." Gu Anran pursed her lips and looked at him.
