"You're really something! I'll definitely reward you properly when I get back." Gu Anran felt like she'd just had a false alarm.
It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. After the three people left, Gu Anran immediately found a lawyer and a search team. This time, Gu Anran not only had to prove her innocence but also find the whereabouts of the jade. "I really owe you a lot this time."
Gu Anran didn't stop and immediately walked towards all the locations listed on the evidence. At this moment, this batch of jade was the most important, and Gu Anran didn't want to be careless in the slightest.
"No problem." After a brief understanding, the lawyer quickly took the company to court, and with solid evidence, the battle was guaranteed to be a success.
As Gu Anran had predicted, with irrefutable evidence, the opposing company had no room for argument and was ordered to pay a fine of 50 million.
Gu Anran walked out of the courthouse hand in hand with Gu Xiaotian. The bright sunlight shone on her, and she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much lighter.
With a hint of confusion in his big eyes, Gu Xiaotian asked, "Mom, why aren't we leaving?"
Gu Anran patted his head, her eyes smiling, and said in a strong voice, "Come on, Mom will take you to see Dad."
"Okay, I miss Daddy so much every day." Gu Xiaotian looked up, his face beaming with joy.
When the two arrived at the hospital, it was noon, and the corridor was deserted and desolate.
Gu Anran recalled the scene of Ye Lichuan fighting for her without regard for his own safety, and her heart ached. She pulled Gu Xiaotian and quickly walked into the VIP ward.
In the simply designed blue and white room, Ye Lichuan was sleeping on the hospital bed, his face still a little pale, and his thin lips were dry, as if he hadn't drunk water for a long time.
"Dad is sleeping," Gu Xiaotian said dejectedly, pouting.
"Shh, keep your voice down, Xiaotian, don't wake up Daddy, okay?" Bending down, Gu Anran put her hand to her mouth, making a gesture of silence.
Gu Xiaotian nodded sensibly and shut his mouth.
The two tiptoed to the bedside. Looking at the man's still handsome face, their eyes reddened and tears slid down their cheeks.
"Mom, don't cry." Seeing her tears, Gu Xiaotian felt sorry for her and comforted Gu Anran in a soft voice.
Not wanting him to worry, Gu Anran was about to speak when Ye Lichuan woke up on the bed. Seeing the two of them, a light flashed in his deep eyes. "Anran, you're here."
"Hmm." Gu Anran smiled slightly, trying to cover up her recent loss of composure.
Ye Lichuan immediately noticed that she had been crying. His brows furrowed, and he asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is it about the jade?"
Gu Anran then realized she hadn't told him yet, and shook her head. "No, the jade issue has been resolved." Her voice still carried a hint of a sob.
"Then why are you crying?" Ye Lichuan asked helplessly, his tone softening as he gently wiped away her tears with his calloused hands.
Gu Anran remained silent, quietly savoring the beauty of the moment.
"I know." Gu Xiaotian looked up, his soft and cute face making people want to pinch it. "Mom cried because she was so happy to see Dad."
After saying that, he looked at Gu Anran, waiting for praise: "Mom, am I right?"
“Yes, Gu Xiaotian is the smartest.” Gu Anran tapped his nose before talking to Ye Lichuan about the jade.
Hearing that they not only won in the end, but also earned the company 50 million in compensation, Ye Lichuan kissed her delicate lips hard. "An Ran is amazing."
Gu Anran rolled her eyes at him, disliking his tone of coaxing her like a child.
"Hahaha..." Ye Lichuan laughed heartily, his magnetic voice captivating.
Gu Anran had gotten used to it and was immune to it. She reached out and punched his chest, angrily saying, "What are you laughing at?"
Ye Lichuan frowned, his thin lips pressed together, his face, which had been somewhat rosy, turned pale, and his breathing became heavier.
"Are you alright? Did I use too much force just now?" Gu Anran immediately realized something was wrong and quickly went over to check on him.
Gu Xiaotian also leaned over the headboard and asked worriedly, "Does Dad have chest pain? I'll go find a nurse right now."
"Yes, wait a moment, I'll go find a doctor right away."
Gu Anran seemed to wake from a dream, and tried to get up by supporting herself on the bed board, but her legs were so weak that she almost fell down again.
"I'm fine, you can stay with me a little longer, no need to go to so much trouble." Ye Lichuan grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer.
"How can you be alright? Your face looks pale."
She insisted on seeing a doctor, so Ye Lichuan had no choice but to sit up in bed and wait until the pain in his chest and forehead subsided before managing to force a smile for her.
"I'm really fine. Look, I'm perfectly alright now. I want to stay with you a little longer."
He still had the mood to tease her, so it seemed like there really wasn't a big problem. Gu Anran breathed a sigh of relief and sat down next to the bed.
It was a close call, and Ye Lichuan's complexion is much better now.
"You scared me to death, I'm so sorry."
He laboriously lifted his large hand and gently massaged her soft nipples, softly comforting her, "It's okay. It's nothing to do with you, I'm just too weak right now."
Gu Anran blinked, suddenly feeling that his action resembled petting a puppy, but considering he was still a patient, she didn't bother to point it out.
She immediately got up to greet them when she heard a noise at the door.
The cane struck the ground heavily, making a clattering sound. Old Master Ye entered the ward with a displeased expression. When he saw Ye Lichuan's body wrapped in bandages, he let out a cold snort.
Gu Anran felt that Old Master Ye's gaze seemed to drift towards her, so she had no choice but to step aside to let him pass, trying to minimize her presence.
Old Master Ye can be even more terrifying than Ye Lichuan at times.
Ye Lichuan didn't speak, just glanced at her indifferently, and then gestured for Gu Anran to come over.
She secretly waved her hand, indicating that she absolutely shouldn't go over there at this point.
The two's little actions naturally did not escape the eyes of Old Master Ye. He chuckled and tapped the hospital bed with his cane, warning Ye Lichuan that he was still there and should behave himself.
"Grandpa, please have a seat." Gu Anran offered a chair with trepidation. She wanted to offer some fruit, but thinking that the old man would definitely not eat it, she immediately went to make tea.
"Don't bother, I came here today to see this brat." He paused, then continued, "He's almost risked his life for a woman. If something really happens to him, who will inherit the vast Ye family? Am I an old man, or is he still a baby?"
Gu Anran, who was standing to the side, almost buried her head in the ground. It was clear that the old man's words were meant for her.
She stood at attention, waiting for the flames of war to fall upon her. Sure enough, after the old man finished speaking about Ye Lichuan, he turned his head to look at her.
“Anran, it’s not that Grandpa is criticizing you, but I thought you were a sensible and good child. How could you let him run wild like that? Luckily, nothing happened this time. Otherwise, could you have taken responsibility for the consequences?”
