Gu Anran thought her suggestion was good, but as far as she knew, Mr. John was still in Bulgaria, and if she went there, Xiao Tian would have to leave them temporarily.
After talking to Ye Yao on the phone, she kept thinking about this issue. Although the distance between them wasn't far and the trip wouldn't be long, she was still really worried.
In the evening, she went to the library to pick up Xiaotian and take him home. Seeing him looking like he was in a daze and almost tripping on the stairs, she became even more worried.
That evening, she went to find Ye Lichuan, wanting to discuss this matter with him.
"What do you think about letting Xiaotian study with Mr. John? That way, he can adjust his mindset."
Ye Lichuan also noticed that her son's condition was not right and that adjustments should indeed be made, but she thought that the child's choice should be respected. She agreed, so the two of them went to find Gu Xiaotian again.
After listening, Xiao Tian simply nodded, as if everything was within his expectations. Gu Anran breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to say something to him, but she saw that he was chatting with John about going to Bulgaria.
After coming out, she felt a little melancholy. Since when did Xiaotian stop telling her anything? Judging from the chat history just now, he probably had this plan all along. Ye Lichuan held her hand and squeezed it. "Don't worry."
The day after the decision to go abroad for study was made, the plane tickets were booked.
In the afternoon, Gu Anran personally drove Gu Xiaotian to the airport. The spacious hall was bustling with people, some saying goodbye and others reuniting.
She knelt down and put her hand on Xiaotian's shoulder, while Xiaotian looked down at her. "When you get there, remember to let me and your dad know you're safe. Eat well and rest well."
Gu Xiaotian nodded obediently and touched her face again. "Don't worry, Mom. You and Dad can wait for me to come back."
The airport announcer's voice came over the loudspeaker. She glanced at her watch; it was almost time. After giving a few more instructions, she took Xiaotian's hand and led him to the security checkpoint.
Gu Xiaotian was also reluctant to part with her, holding her hand tightly and unwilling to let go. Gu Anran stroked his fluffy chestnut hair and said, "Go on, we'll wait for you to come back." Then she let go of his hand.
Despite their reluctance, the two had to part ways. Time waits for no one. Watching him carry his luggage and turn back again and again, Gu Anran felt a lump in her throat. She blinked to wipe away her tears and waved to Xiao Tian as he turned back.
She only turned around and slowly walked out of the airport after he was swallowed up by the crowd.
Without Xiaotian's presence, she felt a little listless. After returning home, she lay face down on the sofa. After feeling the baby move, she immediately rolled over and gently comforted the baby.
"Xiao Tian is gone?"
She looked up abruptly and saw a man in a suit walking towards her. "Why are you leaving get off work so early today?"
"Go home and be with my wife." Knowing that Xiao Tian was in a bad mood after leaving, Ye Lichuan specially skipped work and rushed back.
He gently lifted Gu Anran's head and placed it on his lap, then adjusted her position to be more comfortable. His well-defined knuckles brushed away a stray strand of her hair and tucked it behind her ear.
"What should I do? He's only been gone a few hours and I already miss him," Gu Anran muttered, looking up at him.
He placed a kiss on her rosy lips. "Lion cubs are driven out of the territory to train before they reach adulthood. He's only been gone for a while, so there's no need to worry too much."
Gu Anran wrinkled her nose at his analogy; although it wasn't quite right, it at least eased her anxiety.
When the topic of lions came up, Ye Lichuan insisted on making her watch Animal World. Seeing that she couldn't refuse, she could only compromise and find a comfortable spot to lean against him. The TV was showing the birth of animals, and she went from being indifferent to being completely absorbed in it. Her mind was no longer constantly filled with thoughts of Xiao Tian.
Gu Xiaotian moved into John's house and met a girl who was a little older than him. She was very welcoming to him and after getting to know him, he learned that John had a child late in life and that the girl was his daughter.
After arranging food, lodging, and transportation, he immediately called his parents in another country. Gu Anran, who was watching Animal World, immediately sat up when she saw the caller ID. The two chatted for half an hour before Ye Lichuan took the phone, gave a few simple instructions, and then hung up.
"I have a prenatal checkup tomorrow, so get some rest." Despite her reluctance, she could only go upstairs to sleep.
The next night, Li Chuan, a former coworker, took Gu Anran to the hospital for a pregnancy checkup.
"The child is doing well. These are his eyes, and here is his nose." The doctor pointed to the monitor, a happy smile on his face.
The four-month-old baby was already formed and curled up, absorbing nutrients through the umbilical cord. Looking at the baby in her belly, Gu Anran thought she needed to eat more, while Ye Lichuan beside her laughed out loud.
Dragging the seemingly foolish Ye Lichuan back home, Gu Anran was immediately embraced as soon as she sat down on the sofa. "Anran, you need to stay happy. You should manage your time properly from now on." Gu Anran found it somewhat amusing that she received special privileges for a prenatal checkup.
Half an hour later, Ye Lichuan reluctantly let go of the person in his arms. He was responsible for picking up Mo Ling from her flight today.
After waiting at the airport for a few minutes, he saw Mo Ling. She had changed so much that he almost didn't recognize her. She had shed her inferiority complex and become cheerful and confident.
"Uncle Ye." Xiaoling smiled when she saw him. It was her first time on an airplane, and it was impossible for her not to be nervous.
Ye Lichuan took the suitcase from her and walked towards the exit, after which the car drove away from the airport.
Xiaoling was a little reserved the whole way. Ye Lichuan glanced at her in the mirror and then took the initiative to speak, "Your studies in Australia this time will be more arduous than before. Anran is very strict with design."
"It's okay, strictness from teachers is for the students' own good."
Ye Lichuan hummed in agreement. "An Ran is pregnant. You have another purpose for coming here: to protect her while I'm away."
Because of work, he couldn't be by her side often. Now that her belly is getting bigger, she needs more people to protect her, which is the main reason why he agreed to let Mo Ling come.
Xiaoling nodded vigorously, "I will take good care of Aunt Gu." It was their family that provided her with the opportunity to study, and now that they need her, she will do her best.
Seeing that she was very cooperative, Ye Lichuan didn't say anything more. The car drove into the villa, and Xiaoling immediately saw Gu Anran standing at the door, dressed loosely and wearing slippers. Her hand was unconsciously on her waist, and she had a gentle smile on her face.
"Welcome, Xiaoling."
Xiao Ling waved her hands helplessly, her eyes always unconsciously looking at her stomach. Aunt Wu came out, took the suitcase, and led her downstairs to see the room.
To welcome her arrival, Gu Anran specially asked Aunt Wu to decorate the room. The moment she opened the door, a pink and delicate feeling greeted her.
