Ye Lichuan and Gu Anran, who were far away overseas, naturally learned about Xiaotian and Xiaoling's relationship. Furthermore, seeing Xiaotian's happy face every time Gu Anran video-called him filled them with immense joy.
Xiao Tian has never caused his parents any worry since he was a child. He is very sensible, but he is always clueless when it comes to matters of the heart. We thought we would have to arrange blind dates for our son in a few years, but we didn't expect him to find his beloved so quickly.
Gu Anran's face lit up with a smile whenever she thought of Xiao Tian.
Just then, Gu Xiaoqing, who was playing downstairs, ran up. Her chubby body swayed with her two strong little legs. She suddenly pounced on Gu Anran.
Gu Anran looked at Gu Xiaoqing and affectionately patted her head. Then she realized that Gu Xiaoqing was old enough to go to kindergarten. So that evening she told Ye Lichuan that she would take Gu Xiaoqing home to attend kindergarten.
Ye Lichuan, who was happily playing with Gu Xiaoqing, suddenly looked dejected after hearing these words.
How could he bear to be separated from his little dumpling for too long? And he was even more reluctant to part with his wife; he wanted to hold her every night while he slept.
However, he hadn't finished his work abroad and estimated he wouldn't be able to return home for another month or so. The thought of being separated from his wife and daughter for such a long time made his heart bleed.
So he looked at the little woman opposite him with a pitiful expression, hoping she would let him stay a little longer.
When Gu Anran saw a tall man who was 1.83 meters tall with such an expression, he couldn't help but laugh inwardly, but he also understood that Ye Lichuan really couldn't bear to part with him and Gu Xiaoqing.
However, if Gu Xiaoqing missed this school year, she would have to wait another year. Therefore, for Gu Xiaoqing's future, he resolutely chose to ignore Ye Lichuan's gaze.
This made Ye Lichuan, who was already unhappy, even more pitiful.
"Gu Xiaoqing, you can't be like your mother, who is so heartless. You must stay by your father's side forever, understand?" Ye Lichuan used Gu Anran as a negative example to teach Gu Xiaoqing.
Gu Xiaoqing remained engrossed in her game, completely oblivious to Ye Lichuan's resentful expression.
After a night of intense inner struggle, Ye Lichuan decided to accompany Gu Anran home the next day. Money can be earned back, projects can be found again, but he couldn't leave his wife and daughter by his side.
So the family of three set off for the airport in a warm and cozy manner.
Ye Lichuan seemed to be trying to reclaim the happiness he had lost yesterday. He held Gu Xiaoqing tightly in his arms, took Gu Anran's hand, and walked forward chatting and laughing. People came and went like the tide, what a beautiful scene it was!
After a flight of more than six hours, they arrived home safely and smoothly.
Gu Anran had just finished putting away all their clothes when she heard the sound of keys turning at the door. It was Xiao Xiao coming home from work.
Gu Anran put down the last piece of clothing she hadn't had time to put down yet, and ran towards the living room.
Seeing his son, so big and alive, standing right in front of him, unlike the cold and aloof image in the video, he ran over and hugged Xiaotian.
Gu Xiaoqing kept fidgeting with her short legs and suddenly hugged her brother's leg.
Gu Xiaoqing hadn't seen her brother Xiaotian for a very long time and missed him terribly, so she kept clinging to him and wouldn't leave his arms.
Ye Lichuan saw Gu Xiaoqing, who had been circling around him, suddenly cling to her brother like a piece of chewing gum. She felt empty inside if she didn't get off.
Gu Anran looked at Xiao Tian with a mischievous grin, occasionally glancing at Xiao Ling behind Xiao Tian.
Xiaoling and Gu Anran had always been like friends, without any barriers between them. But now, as the daughter-in-law meeting the parents for the first time, she couldn't help but feel a little excited and nervous.
The observant Xiao Tian immediately noticed his mother's gaze and Xiao Ling's unease behind him. So, he held Gu Xiaoqing in one arm and took Xiao Ling's hand with the other, pulling her to sit down on the sofa in the living room.
Looking at the shy Xiaoling, Gu Anran knew that she shouldn't play too rough with her, as it would make the child uncomfortable, so she sat down next to Xiaoling affectionately.
"Why don't you hurry up and pour some water for your future daughter-in-law?" Gu Anran sat comfortably on the sofa and ordered Ye Lichuan, who was sitting to the side.
Although Ye Lichuan believed in the principle of raising sons frugally and daughters lavishly from a young age, he did not spoil Xiaotian too much.
However, he also knew that it was not easy for Xiaotian and Xiaoling to be together, so he turned around and went to the kitchen to make Xiaoling a cup of coffee.
He handed the coffee to Xiaoling, who was sitting on the sofa. Xiaoling quickly stood up, took the coffee from Ye Lichuan, and thanked him profusely. Gu Anran noticed that Xiaoling was still so reserved, so she spoke up.
"Xiaotian, take Xiaoling to your bedroom to play!" she said, playfully winking at Xiaotian. But Xiaotian ignored his mother's gaze and took Xiaoling's hand, leading her to the bedroom.
Xiaotian's bedroom has a sunny and warm overall style. The sky-blue wallpaper further enhances the cheerful atmosphere of the room.
Xiao Tian's bedroom was designed by Gu Anran herself. When he was young, Gu Anran noticed that her son was taciturn and not good at socializing, so she specially chose a bright and warm theme when designing the room.
When Xiao Tian first saw his room, he was clearly resistant, but he got used to it over time. Now that he hasn't been back for so long, he actually feels a faint sense of nostalgia.
When Xiaoling first saw Xiaotian's bedroom, she was incredulous. She had imagined Xiaotian's bedroom would be a darker, more mature style, but it turned out to be the bedroom of a sunny, cheerful young man.
"Sit wherever you like." Xiao Tian led Xiao Ling into the bedroom, then put the baby down. He went out and poured a glass of milk and a glass of juice for both Xiao Ling and the baby.
Seeing her son so carefully preparing juice, Gu Anran, who had been in the living room, felt a pang of sadness. She still vividly remembered Xiao Tian as a child; in the blink of an eye, he had grown so tall, a full head taller than her and almost as tall as his father.
I can no longer bully and deceive Xiaotian as I used to. Now I feel like my son is no longer under my control.
Ye Lichuan, who was standing next to Gu Anran, kept his attention on Gu Xiaoqing, who had been brought back to the house by Xiaotian. It wasn't that Ye Lichuan was worried that Xiaotian would bully Gu Xiaoqing, but he felt uneasy leaving Gu Xiaoqing in anyone else's hands. He wanted to be with his adorable daughter all the time, which revealed his chauvinistic tendencies.
