He felt a complex emotion that was difficult to describe.
Seeing that the two could no longer be seen in the stairwell, Dongfang Tinglan turned to Gong Beize and said, "Xue'er has been through so many years on her own. Now that she has finally found someone she likes, we shouldn't stop her from finding happiness."
We have no right to interfere in her life, not even as her parents. She is now an adult and can make any decisions for herself.
Gong Beize remained silent after hearing this.
He understood what Dongfang Tinglan meant, but he had just been enjoying the joy of having a daughter, and he couldn't accept the fact that his daughter already belonged to someone else.
Looking at the expression on Gong Beize's face, Dongfang Tinglan could naturally tell what he was thinking. She reached out and took his hand, "Don't you still have me? Or is it that I'm not as important to you as your daughter?"
Dongfang Tinglan pretended to be jealous.
Upon hearing this, Gong Beize quickly replied, "How could that be? You are more important than anyone else. Over the years, the only person I have ever loved is you."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan smiled tenderly.
She knew perfectly well how much the man loved her, but seeing him so fixated on his own thoughts, she just wanted to bring him out of his shell.
"Okay, then. Let your daughter do what she wants. You should be content with having me by your side."
Upon hearing this, Gong Beize immediately understood Dongfang Tinglan's intentions and smiled helplessly.
"Lan'er, you care about your daughter much more than you care about your husband."
"What else can I do? Xue'er is my own flesh and blood. If I don't love her, who will?" Dongfang Tinglan said without any hesitation.
She truly loved Jian Yixue, especially since he hadn't fulfilled his responsibilities as a mother for so many years.
Her guilt and sense of indebtedness towards Xue'er became increasingly apparent.
Gong Beize was not surprised at all upon hearing this.
After all, his daughter was also very important to him, although she was not as important as Dongfang Tinglan.
"Okay, we'll spoil our daughter ourselves."
Dongfang Tinglan nodded.
Immediately, Gong Beize walked over and picked up Dongfang Tinglan in his arms, leaning down to whisper in her ear, "Right now, all I want to dote on Lan'er for the rest of my life."
Dongfang Tinglan blushed instantly.
Although she already had a child with him and it wasn't the first time they had been intimate, she still couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when she heard the man say that.
"Put me down quickly, or our daughter will see us." Dongfang Tinglan struggled to get down from Gong Beize's arms.
Gong Beize would never do as she wished.
"So what if I see it? Lan'er is my wife. What's wrong with me hugging you?" He then carried Dongfang Tinglan upstairs.
...
Meanwhile, Jian Yixue and her companion, who had returned to their room earlier, were completely unaware of this.
Even if she knew, Jian Yixue would think it was nothing.
As soon as the door closed, Jian Yixue turned around and hugged Ye Mohan, then said...
"Thank you, Mo Han."
Jian Yixue's sudden action stunned Ye Mohan, but he immediately understood after hearing her words.
It seems his little girl was acting this way because of what happened downstairs earlier.
Ye Mohan responded to Jian Yixue's hug, pulling her close. "Silly girl, I'd do anything for you willingly, let alone thank you."
"I'm really not as good as you say. On the contrary, you treat me like a treasure. Meeting you again in this life is the happiest thing in my life." Jian Yixue hugged Ye Mohan and looked up into Ye Mohan's eyes to confess her love.
A smile remained on Ye Mohan's lips. "And what about me?"
...
After waking up from her afternoon nap, Jian Yixue went to her spatial storage and retrieved a pile of medicinal herbs, preparing a medicinal bath for Dongfang Tinglan.
Once Jian Yixue was ready, Dongfang Tinglan, exhausted, also got up and went to the hot spring room.
The hot spring here was discovered by Miyata Tsawa when he built his house here, so he specially transformed it into a hot spring resort.
This was something he told Jian Yixue when she suggested giving Dongfang Tinglan a medicinal bath.
As Dongfang Tinglan entered the hot spring room, she looked at her daughter bustling around for her and felt a pang of guilt and embarrassment.
It's all Gong Beize's fault. If he hadn't insisted on bothering her, she wouldn't have gotten up at this hour. The key point is that she didn't sleep for even a minute.
If she hadn't seen that it was getting late and pushed him away, she probably would still be in the room now.
Dongfang Tinglan looked at Jian Yixue and said, "Xue'er, you can have the servants do it. You are pregnant now, so it's better to avoid overworking yourself."
Upon hearing the sound, Jian Yixue placed the last medicinal herb into the hot spring pool, then turned around and smiled at Dongfang Tinglan.
"It's nothing, it's just adding some herbs, it won't be tiring. Besides, no one else knows how to do it, so I feel more at ease doing it myself."
Dongfang Tinglan nodded.
She was also a medical student, so she naturally understood her daughter's considerations.
As soon as she entered, she smelled a strong aroma of Chinese medicine, and many of the herbs inside were good for strengthening the body.
My daughter must be very skilled in medicine, as many of the medicinal herbs she found are rare on the market.
Dongfang Tinglan was deeply moved.
"Mom, the medicinal bath is over. You can go in and soak now for the best effect," Jian Yixue said, looking at the water in the hot spring pool.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan's face showed a hint of unease.
"Okay, I can do it myself. You've been busy all day, go out and take a break."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue looked at Dongfang Tinglan. Just as she was about to say something, she saw that Dongfang Tinglan was wearing a high-necked cheongsam. She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and a mischievous smile flashed across her lips.
"It's okay, Mom, I understand."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan met Jian Yixue's mischievous smile and immediately understood what was going on.
The blush on her face became more pronounced, and she called out to Jian Yixue, "Xue'er."
Gong Beize, who was standing at the door, heard the voices inside and abruptly changed the direction of his steps.
Seeing her mother's reaction, Jian Yixue changed the subject, saying, "Let's go inside quickly, or it will be a waste of time once the medicine wears off."
"And I have to observe, otherwise I won't be sure about the next medication."
"Go on in, I'll turn my head away, I won't peek."
He immediately turned his head away.
Seeing this, Dongfang Tinglan's lips twitched, and she didn't know what else to say.
Looking at the pool of medicinal liquid, she decided not to delay any longer, walked to the side, took off her clothes, and sat down.
Seeing that the color and depth of the medicine were just right up to her neck, and that most of the marks on her body were covered up, she felt much more at ease.
Then, looking at Jian Yixue by the pool, he said, "I'm coming down."
Jian Yixue nodded and then turned around.
Actually, she had heard the sound and knew her mother had gone downstairs, but she didn't turn around immediately out of respect for her mother.
