After a period of commotion, Gu Xiaotian finally stopped, and Gu Anran's face finally calmed down. The two of them stayed with Ye Lichuan until evening, and then left again with Gu Xiaotian's reluctant gaze. This continued for several days in a row.
After a few days, Ye Lichuan's injuries had mostly healed. Gu Anran, worried about getting bored, took a walk with her family downstairs in the hospital.
There were many people wearing hospital gowns downstairs. The three of them walked around the hospital. The setting sun dyed the entire sky orange, and occasionally a few birds flew by, creating a beautiful oil painting effect in the sky.
A gentle evening breeze caressed everyone's faces, and Gu Anran involuntarily closed her eyes, faintly hearing the rustling of leaves.
"My attending physician came today, and I will be able to be discharged in two days."
"Let's go out and play together when Dad gets better." Gu Xiaotian held one person's hand in each hand, looking at Ye Lichuan expectantly.
How could a father not fulfill his son's expectations? "Okay, thank you for your hard work these past few days."
Hearing this, Gu Anran turned to look at him. He was still very handsome, unlike the pale and bruised face she had seen him that day. "You saved me, so it's only right that I take care of you. Besides, we're family."
Ye Lichuan reached out and put his arm around her. Seeing that no one around them was paying attention, Gu Anran obediently leaned on his shoulder. Gu Xiaotian felt that he was a third wheel, so she decisively ran off to play.
The two hugged and chatted for a while. As it got darker and the temperature dropped, Ye Lichuan, who was dressed in thin clothes, was worried that she would catch a cold, so the three of them returned to the ward.
She had barely sat down when there was a knock at the door. Gu Anran got up to open it and found that it was the butler. "Miss, I hope I haven't disturbed you?"
Gu Anran shook her head and stepped aside to let him in. He was carrying a bouquet of flowers, which he placed on the bedside table before taking out an invitation and a letter and handing them to her.
"This is from Mr. Hogo, inviting you and your family to his wedding."
Gu Anran took the bright red invitation card, opened it, and saw the newlyweds' names, Huo Ge and Jia Yunxin, written in bold gold lettering. These two had finally tied the knot.
After delivering the items, the housekeeper left. She took out an envelope with "To Gu Anran" written on it in small regular script. Inside the envelope was a story about his relationship with Jia Yunxin, and Gu Anran's insistence on attending his wedding as his good friend.
The envelope ended with the wedding address and was signed 'Huo Ge Jia Yunxin'.
"Hogo is getting married?"
"Well, these two have been through so much trouble and they're finally getting married." She closed the envelope. As Huo Ge's good friend, she was naturally going to attend their wedding, but Ye Lichuan's health made her hesitate.
"Don't worry about me, I'll be discharged this Friday." Ye Lichuan had been observing her expression and naturally understood what she was worried about.
"Mom, let's go! I saw the address is Australia. There are lots of animals we've never seen before, including kangaroos." Gu Xiaotian made up his mind as soon as he saw the address, and he was determined to go no matter what, even if he had to beg and plead.
He ran over, grabbed Ye Lichuan's hand, and shook it, deliberately softening his voice and trying his best to act cute with his big eyes. Ye Lichuan always agreed to whatever his son said, so naturally he spoiled him now. He lowered his voice and whispered a few words in Gu Xiaotian's ear.
Then the two of them looked at Gu Anran. Seeing their similar faces, Gu Anran could only agree helplessly. She then went to the doctor to confirm that Ye Lichuan was safe for his long trip before she could relax.
Friday arrived in the blink of an eye. After a final check-up, Ye Lichuan confirmed that everything was fine. "Alright, you can proceed with the discharge procedures now. Remember to rest well after you're discharged."
The doctor wrote a few words on the form and handed it to Gu Anran. After Gu Anran signed it, he put the pen in his pocket and went to make his rounds. "I'm going to process the discharge procedures."
The day of their discharge was sunny and bright. They didn't tell anyone about Ye Lichuan's discharge and went home together after completing the formalities.
After being discharged from the hospital, they naturally had to celebrate properly. Gu Anran cooked a table full of dishes, which Gu Xiaotian ate to his heart's content. After dinner, the three of them sat on the sofa and watched TV.
Ye Lichuan held her hand tightly and refused to let go. Gu Anran's phone rang, and seeing that she couldn't break free, she could only answer the phone like that.
"Give me a call when you arrive. The hotel is near the wedding venue. It's a bit rushed, so I'm afraid you'll have to make do with what you have."
Is there any sense of grievance or resentment in our relationship?
Jia Yunxin's voice came from the other end of the line. Knowing they were busy, Gu Anran said a few words and hung up. They didn't need to bring much stuff, so the three of them set off lightly the next day.
The plane took off at 2 p.m. Gu Anran and Gu Xiaotian were asleep on the plane, only Ye Lichuan was awake. He gently tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear, and Gu Anran whimpered twice but did not wake up.
Ye Lichuan chuckled twice and continued to look at her sleeping face. The plane arrived at 2:30 pm Australian time, and the three of them met the people who came to pick them up as soon as they left the airport.
"Miss Gu? We're here to pick you up." The man in black took the luggage and led the three of them around in a circle.
The air in Australia was exceptionally fresh, with a clear blue sky that lifted everyone's spirits. After a brief introduction, the man led them to their hotel.
The room was a large suite, not only spacious but also with floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the outside scenery. Gu Xiaotian lay down on the bed as soon as he arrived.
"Take a shower and rest, then we can go out and have fun tomorrow," Gu Anran suggested.
After agreeing, Gu Xiaotian went to take a shower, while Gu Anran opened the navigation and started searching for her location. Another reason she came to Australia was that there was a very famous domestic designer there, and she wanted to learn something from him.
He was a mysterious person, and all she knew was that he lived in a city in Australia. She knew nothing else about him, so she could only go and see the places where he had left traces.
"You and Xiaotian stay at the hotel, I'll go check on things." She was worried that Ye Lichuan would be tired, so she insisted that he not come with her, leaving him no choice but to stay at the hotel.
Gu Anran went to the hotel where the designer had stayed, only to find out that he had already left. She then went to the studio where she had previously worked with him, but still had no clue.
Although disappointed, she did not give up. As she searched, the sky gradually darkened. When she returned to the hotel after dark, her lips were chapped and her clothes were soaked with sweat.
"You should get some rest tonight, and I'll help you find it tomorrow."
After she finished showering, Ye Lichuan handed her a glass of milk. Seeing her tired face, his eyes showed his heartache. She was working too hard for her career.
