Just as she was feeling dejected, Lin Yuan appeared behind her and carried her back to her room.
From that day on, she was unable to move any part of her body except for her mouth, which could still eat.
Every day, Lin Yuan would hold her, show her the surroundings, and tell her about the various parts of this house that had appeared in her mind countless times.
Whenever she wanted to ask something, she could never find the words.
She can say a few words when the topic changes, but she becomes speechless when it comes to things like leaving or something happening.
Time flowed slowly, and it was the day before Grandpa's birthday.
After Gu Rong arrived, everyone else who had never appeared before, as well as her maternal grandparents whom she had only met once, all came.
Looking at these familiar faces, Gu Rong's eyes welled up with tears again. She wanted to open her mouth and tell them to run away, but she couldn't say anything.
Seeing Gu Rong's reddened eyes, Chi Ting couldn't help but redden her own eyes as well: "What's wrong? Aren't you happy that your grandparents and godparents are here?"
Gu Rong, who was thought to be unable to speak, now finds that she can't even nod or shake her head; all she can do is weep uncontrollably.
Looking at her pitiful appearance, Chi Ting glanced at Lin Yuan with displeasure: "Xiao Yuan...."
"Mom, no," Lin Yuan shook her head, then took Gu Rong from her: "I'll take you to see your godfather and godmother. Haven't you always missed them?"
Gu Rong was being held tightly, staring intently at her maternal grandparents, wanting them to leave, but she couldn't.
Lin Yuan carried Gu Rong downstairs, put her on the sofa, and greeted Cheng Xi and Ma Xuanxuan who were having sex: "You're here. Didn't you want to see Rongbao? I brought her over for you."
“You always refused when I asked you to bring her out to play before. I thought you were trying to hide her and didn’t want us to see her.” Ma Xuanxuan turned her head and saw Gu Rong’s face full of tears. She felt heartbroken and asked, “What’s wrong, baby? Why are you crying? Did your mother bully you? Tell your godmother and I’ll beat her up for you.”
"Mmm, mmm, mmm," Godmother, Godfather, hurry up.
But no one could understand her muffled sounds.
Seeing that she couldn't speak, Ma Xuanxuan glared at Lin Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, can't you relax a little?"
“No,” Lin Yuan firmly refused. “You should let her play for a while. It will be bedtime soon, and there’s not much time left.”
"You...you're so heartless," Ma Xuanxuan said with a sullen face, holding Gu Rong in her arms and looking at him carefully. As she looked, she couldn't help but tear up.
Then he turned and handed Gu Rong to Cheng Xi: "Didn't you say before that you missed Rong Bao? Take a good look at her."
Cheng Xi took Gu Rong, lifted her up, looked her over from head to toe, and finally placed her on his lap. He wiped away her tears and poked her cheek: "Why are you still crying? Do you miss your godparents too much?"
Although she couldn't say much, Gu Rong could still utter simple syllables: "Mmm."
Cheng Xi smiled and rubbed his forehead against hers, saying, "I knew it. I'm more handsome than your dad, and I treat you so well. You must like me even more."
Let me tell you, I've been working hard lately to bring you to live with us. The house is decorated exactly to your liking, and I'm sure you'll love it when you see it. Also...
Watching Cheng Xi chatter on and on, as if by some kind of magic, Gu Rong was slowly drawn in, completely forgetting everything else.
Seeing Gu Rong listening intently, Cheng Xi raised an eyebrow and looked at Ma Xuanxuan with a smug expression, as if to say, "Look how amazing I am."
Ma Xuanxuan wiped away her tears, slapped him on the head, and then snatched Gu Rong away: "Rongbao, don't listen to your godfather. All those things were arranged by your godmother. Also, your godmother left you a lot of things, the money you like, and..."
As Gu Rong listened, she thought about the people who had come to the hospital before. It seemed that they were sent by the Cheng family, but they were eventually driven away.
After Cheng Xi's death, the Cheng family gradually declined and was suppressed by Gu Mo.
Seeing Gu Rong lost in thought, Ma Xuanxuan and Cheng Xi exchanged a glance. Then Cheng Xi picked Gu Rong up and ran outside with him, saying, "Let's go, godfather will take you to see the flowers outside. Those are the ones we planted together before. I wonder if they're still alive."
Seeing the two leave, Lin Yuan's expression changed. She was about to chase after them when Chi Ting stopped her: "Xiao Yuan, let them play for a while. Rong Bao seems to be having a good time. Besides, given the situation outside, no one can get out before dark, right?"
Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment, then had no choice but to give up: "Alright, you guys go have fun, but remember to come back on time, don't delay things."
"...Don't worry, we'll keep an eye on her," Ma Xuanxuan said, turning around and following them out, quickly running towards the two of them: "Rongbao, I'm here~~ Hurry up and hide, don't let me find you~~".
The two, who were looking for flowers, suddenly heard Ma Xuanxuan's voice. They looked at each other, and then Cheng Xi put her on the ground and kissed her on the head: "You wait here, and please don't run around~~".
After saying that, Cheng Xi stood up and turned to leave. After taking a few steps, he turned back and looked at Gu Rong again: "Rong Bao, please, please don't run around~~ and don't sneak off to the villa, please don't~~".
After saying this, Cheng Xi quickly left without looking back.
Staring at Cheng Xi's figure, Gu Rong was still thinking about hiding her, but she should hide her in a safe place, since there was no cover around.
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt the restraints on her body disappear.
Gu Rong stretched her arms and legs, took a few steps forward, and felt a wonderful sense of control over herself.
However, she didn't actually run away; instead, she ran towards the spot where Cheng Xi had just been.
Seeing Ma Xuanxuan and Cheng Xi standing together, Gu Rong quickly ran up to them, waving her hand and pointing in the direction outside to let them leave.
Watching the little ones waving at the outside, I pulled their arms and made them walk outside.
Ma Xuanxuan smiled, squatted down and hugged Gu Rong tightly, rubbing her face against her cheek: "Tell me, are you stupid? You didn't run away after you were untied, did you? You wanted to wait for me to personally take you away? You little fool."
Gu Rong shook her head, indicating that she wasn't stupid, and pulled the two of them to leave, but no matter how she pulled, she couldn't move them.
Just as she was about to continue her efforts, Lin Yuan appeared behind the three of them: "Rong Bao is sleepy, I'll take her upstairs to sleep. See if there's anything you want to eat, and ask the chef to make it."
The moment Lin Yuan spoke, Gu Rong felt himself suddenly unable to move, so he picked her up and carried her into the villa.
