Luo Yan took a few steps back to create some distance, then looked up at the man she had bumped into...
Xiang Yu ran downstairs and grabbed Luo Yan, who was standing there.
"Yanyan, why are you running around like this..."
Luo Yan had no interest in listening to what Xiang Yu said, because she recognized the man's face as Dr. Li, who had treated her many times before. Why was he here?
Dr. Li picked up Luo Yan and handed her to Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu didn't answer, but instead asked Dr. Li, "Do you know Yan Yan?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yan snapped out of her daze.
She had previously told Xiang Yu that the person who injured Luo Shicheng carried her back. Now Xiang Yu is asking Dr. Li if he knows her. Could it be that Dr. Li was also present when Luo Shicheng had the accident?
Luo Yan raised her hand and slapped Dr. Li across the face, startling both Xiang Yu and Dr. Li.
"You mean it! Ptooey!" Luo Yan spat on Dr. Li's face.
Seeing the fierce look in Dr. Li's eyes, Luo Yan burst into tears and reached out to Xiang Yu for a hug.
Xiang Yu took Luo Yan and asked, "Did you bring her here?"
No way, was Dr. Li really there? Luo Yan felt a chill run down her spine.
Dr. Li suppressed the hostility in her eyes and said with a smile, "Yes, Yan Yan is so cute, I can't bear not to take her in."
The two of them spoke in tacit terms, making Luo Yan's scalp tingle.
Xiang Yu carried Luo Yan and turned to go upstairs. Luo Yan watched Dr. Li walk down the corridor, not understanding why he had to admit that she was the one he brought.
After returning to the guest room, Xiang Yu put Luo Yan on the bed and lay down himself.
"Lie down and take a nap," Xiang Yu commanded.
Luo Yan obediently took off her shoes, lay down, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
Xiang Yu hadn't expected Luo Yan to be so carefree as to actually fall asleep. Looking at the little girl sleeping and blowing bubbles, his doubts dissipated considerably.
When Luo Yan woke up, she heard voices outside and, with her excellent hearing, she caught the conversation through the door.
Xiang Yu, "You mean the little girl was on the plane too?"
"Yes, sit next to Madam."
Luo Yan recognized the owner of the voice as Tang Guizhi with just one sentence.
It seems that the lady didn't do anything to Tang Guizhi and released her.
Xiang Yu: "Since she went to Beijing, why did she come back so quickly, and was even brought here by Dr. Li? Could someone have sent her?"
Tang Guizhi said, "Don't think too much about it. It's a bastard child anyway, so it's better to end it all."
After a moment of silence, the door to Luo Yan's room was slowly pushed open.
Luo Yan kept her eyes closed and didn't move, but she could clearly feel the two of them getting closer.
Tang Guizhi picked up a pillow from the side and pressed it against Luo Yan's face.
Luo Yan suddenly opened her eyes, met Tang Guizhi's gaze, and grinned.
"Aunt Tang!"
Tang Guizhi paused, her hand holding the pillow still.
Luo Yan, seemingly oblivious to the danger, scrambled out of bed and jumped onto Tang Guizhi, hugging her tightly with both hands and feet.
Upon seeing this, Xiang Yu's gaze toward Tang Guizhi became inscrutable.
"What are you yelling about!"
Tang Guizhi tried to tear Luo Yan off her body, but Luo Yan secretly increased her strength, making it impossible for Tang Guizhi to tear her off.
In Xiang Yu's view, Tang Guizhi was simply showing mercy; otherwise, how could an adult not be able to handle a little rascal?
Xiang Yu sneered, "What did Madam say to you before she let you come back?"
Tang Guizhi paused for a moment, then said nothing.
Xiang Yu nodded. "You've gone through all that trouble. Take a rest."
Seeing that her provocation had succeeded, Luo Yan took the initiative to get off Tang Guizhi, picked up the pillow that Tang Guizhi had thrown on the bed, put it back on the bedside table, and patted it.
"Auntie, go to sleep."
The little brat inexplicably became clingy to her, making Xiang Yu start to suspect her. Tang Guizhi impatiently pushed Luo Yan away, bent down to take out a washbasin from under the bed, and went to the washroom to wash up.
Luo Yan walked into the living room and saw Xiang Yu sitting on the sofa watching TV. She walked over and sat down next to Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu turned to look at Luo Yan, who grinned at him and snuggled into his arms.
"Daddy, Daddy..."
"Does Yan Yan miss her father?" Xiang Yu asked, hugging Luo Yan.
Luo Yan nodded, "I want a dad."
Don't you want your mother?
Luo Yan could detect a hint of hatred in Xiang Yu's tone.
"I want Mommy, Daddy, and Auntie."
When Tang Guizhi returned with a washbasin, she saw Luo Yan leaning affectionately against Xiang Yu's chest, and her eyes darkened even more.
Xiang Yu said, "Yan Yan misses her parents. Gui Zhi, I'm entrusting you with the task of taking Yan Yan home tomorrow. Make sure you get her to her mother."
Tang Guizhi's expression changed, and she replied, "Yes."
Judging from their tone, they wanted to kill her again. Luo Yan frowned, pondering where such deep hatred could come from when she had never met them before.
After thinking it over, I realized the grudge definitely wasn't with her; it must be a problem with my parents.
Luo Shicheng's romantic entanglements? Somewhat.
Hua Li? It's more likely he wants to seize his maternal grandfather's property.
What a worrying couple!
Tang Guizhi poured a glass of water for Xiang Yu and herself, and then sat down on the sofa to watch TV.
Like any child who doesn't like watching the news, Luo Yan crawled around on the sofa, but when she looked down at Tang Guizhi's neckline, she suddenly pounced on her, grabbed Tang Guizhi's bra strap and yanked hard, startling Tang Guizhi into grabbing the strap and slapping Luo Yan's wicked hand away.
Bras were not common at that time; the most common type was cloth bras. However, Tang Guizhi was wearing the latest nylon and lace bra, which was not available in China.
Upon seeing that Tang Guizhi was wearing a lace bra, Xiang Yu's expression changed drastically.
"Your wife really dotes on you."
Tang Guizhi adjusted her torn collar and said.
"It's just a small gift from Madam, no need to make a fuss about it."
Seeing Xiang Yu's cold smile and the glint of coldness in his eyes, Luo Yan knew that she had succeeded in stirring up trouble again, and raised her eyebrows in satisfaction.
"So pretty, so pretty."
The more Tang Guizhi didn't want to be exposed, the more she wanted to repeatedly desecrate the corpse.
"Get out of the way..." Knowing that Xiang Yu was jealous, Tang Guizhi regretted her momentary lust for the bra, which had caused trouble because Xiang Yu had discovered it.
Luo Yan was pushed so hard that she lost her balance and fell onto the sofa with a thud, pouting as if she was about to cry.
"Stop crying!" Tang Guizhi shouted sternly.
"Auntie, Auntie..." Luo Yan turned around and crawled into Xiang Yu's arms, sobbing.
Xiang Yu frowned as she looked at the little one in her arms, showing no intention of comforting or soothing him.
Luo Yan continued to cry, and after crying for a long time, she seemed to be exhausted and fell asleep on Xiang Yu's lap.
Tang Guizhi sat stiffly on the sofa for a long time, and sighed when Luo Yan calmed down.
"Miss, don't let this little thing make us estranged. I'm not so shallow as to be bought off by a few small favors."
As she spoke, Tang Guizhi reached out to shake Xiang Yu's hand, but Xiang Yu avoided it.
Xiang Yu smiled faintly, "If Madam can give you the most fashionable little trinkets today, she might give you her huge family fortune tomorrow. I'd like to see just how capable my cousin really is, so that I, who have never seen the world, can broaden my horizons."
