Gu Qianlan had many questions to ask. You Ran ca out with a hot towel, helped her with the heat pack, and then answered the phone, "I’m very busy, don’t bother , goodbye." His usual infuriating style.
Gu Qianlan figured Tony on the other end might be looking for a gun right now, but You Ran remained calm. Without unnecessary words, he said farewell to the old doctor, "Uncle Hua, don’t worry, I’ll take care of my own matters."
He helped Gu Qianlan put on her shoes, then casually carried her outside, "Letitia, we’re leaving."
Gu Xingwan politely said goodbye to her grandpa, clinging to her father’s coat while hopping along, like a cheerful little bird.
The old man watched their backs, "I hope he really can settle down, he’s wandered enough."
Gu Qianlan wasn’t sure how to face You Ran. After finding out he wasn’t gay, she felt incredibly uneasy around him, as if his presence was scalding.
You Ran placed her in the car, fastened her seatbelt, then checked Gu Xingwan’s seatbelt. He got into the car, "I’ll take you to et your beloved now."
Gu Qianlan looked at his profile, "I’ve already said he’s not my beloved. Why do you make everyone think you’re gay?"
You Ran was concise, "To avoid a lot of trouble."
"Avoid a lot of trouble... including ?"
You Ran’s lips curled up, "You’re the biggest trouble. Knowing I’m gay and still trying to turn straight, truly a remarkable woman."
Gu Qianlan thought of the foolish things she had done, squeezing her own hand, "I really have been a lot of trouble. I’ve caused you distress, right?"
You Ran reached out and tapped her head, "Don’t talk to in that resentful tone, it’s not like you."
"I want you to answer . Have I caused you distress?"
"You want the truth?"
"Of course."
"Yes."
Gu Qianlan held her breath in her chest. She turned her head to look out the window, "Then don’t bother with anymore."
You Ran replied, "That’s not happening."
"Why not? Didn’t you say I was a hassle?"
"You’ve been a hassle for so long, I haven’t charged you interest, it’s not worth it."
"What kind of interest do you want?"
"I’ll tell you later."
Gu Qianlan was dumbfounded. Did he and she have a future?
The car was nearing the eting location. Gu Qianlan put these thoughts aside and asked her secretary ahead of ti, "What did Mr. Yin say?"
"Mr. Yin was not very happy. He rushed to New Jersey overnight and stayed there. This morning, when he heard the address had changed, he said he would arrive on ti, but the tone relayed by his secretary was not good."
Gu Qianlan was even happier. She really had no intention of ssing with him, it couldn’t be blad on her.
"Sela, thank you for your hard work."
She knew that Sela had probably faced quite a bit of temper.
Sela hurriedly said she dared not, "This is my job, Miss Gu."
Gu Qianlan hung up the phone and told You Ran, "Let’s have a cup of coffee first, no need to rush."
You Ran suddenly felt sympathy for Yin Feibai, having to endure this ordeal just for a eting, quite miserable.
"Changing the address last minute and being late, you really know how to make an entrance."
Gu Qianlan said, "I’m the patient. If he can’t even be this accommodating, there’s really no need for us to collaborate."
You Ran picked up on sothing, "So, he’s really not the father of the child?"
Gu Qianlan put on a sour face, "When you can explain your secrets clearly to , I’ll consider being honest with you."
You Ran touched his nose, "What secrets do I have?"
"Your family, your friends, everything about you is a secret. I’ve known you for so long, and today I just found out your real na is Chen Yuhao, you say there are no secrets?"
You Ran didn’t know why he was secretly pleased, "You care so much about , what’s your agenda?"
Gu Qianlan wasn’t in the mood for bickering, "I have a child to take care of, what agenda could I possibly have."
He didn’t like her before, and now he definitely won’t.
Gu Qianlan hadn’t thought about what kind of partner she wanted for the rest of her life. The primary condition was that they had to accept her child and be good to her child.
The Gu Family’s threshold was too high, scaring away many n. Those who had the courage to confess to her, she couldn’t judge how sincere they were.
You Ran found a nearby cafe and ordered two glasses of pure milk for the mother and daughter.
Both had opinions, Gu Qianlan said, "I want coffee."
Gu Xingwan said, "I want juice."
You Ran was very authoritarian, "No, only milk."
The mother and daughter exchanged a glance and then silently lowered their heads to drink the milk.
You Ran found these two little ones very cute. He even thought, if she were a single mom, he would be willing to take care of her and the child.
Suddenly, this thought scared himself. Was he really considering being a father? Could it be possible?
He was absent-minded, and Gu Qianlan called him twice before he ca back to his senses, "What?"
"We’ve had enough ti, let’s go."
You Ran went to pay the bill and then ca back, intending to carry her. Gu Qianlan said, "I can walk slowly by myself."
There were many people here, and even though it was an open United States, she wasn’t used to it, finding it quite unseemly.
You Ran resolutely picked her up, "With your turtle speed, when will you manage to reach the car?"
Gu Xingwan covered her eyes, "Are daddy and mommy going to kiss?"
Uncle often stole kisses from Aunt, and cousin Ai Xi said it was a sign of love. She also wanted to see daddy kiss mommy.
You Ran’s gaze fell on Gu Qianlan’s red lips, wondering what their taste might be?
Suppressing his shaful thoughts, he reminded himself of the mysterious man she had. He shouldn’t have any improper thoughts.
Thinking of that unknown man, You Ran’s movents around Gu Qianlan beca more restrained, with his expression looking quite unhappy.
Gu Qianlan sensitively sensed his unhappiness, but did not know the reason behind it.
She had no ti to guess his thoughts. When they arrived at the arranged eting place, You Ran said, "I’ll watch the child for you, you go in."
He didn’t offer to carry her.
Gu Qianlan felt an emptiness in her heart. She limped her way in, where Yin Feibai was seated by the window waiting for her.
In front of him was a cup of coffee. It seed that if she didn’t show up soon, he would leave.
Gu Qianlan endured the pain in her foot, gritting her teeth to appear normal. She stood in front of him and called, "Mr. Yin."
Yin Feibai looked surprised. He stood up, "Miss, we t yesterday."
Gu Qianlan’s casual attire today was very different from her carefully grood look yesterday, but it gave him a refreshing impression.
Simple and easygoing, without the indifference and distance of last night, making him feel a sense of familiarity.
Gu Qianlan sat across from him, and Yin Feibai said politely, "Miss, I’m eting soone..."
