War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 381: Probably Knew You Would Come Back

Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Probably Knew You Would Come Back

The ones most worried about her in this world, apart from Tang Yuxiu, are probably Xue Xianglan.

Unfortunately, she knows nothing about it.

Tang Yuxiu gently patted her head, "Don’t think too much, listen to Ah Hao, let everything take its natural course."

As long as she comes back, they have all the time to wait for her to regain her memory.

Even if... she can’t, that’s okay, as long as she remains who she is, that’s enough.

Gu Yan nodded, lowering her eyes to look at her intertwined hands, feeling a bit conflicted inside.

After a long while, she looked up at Tang Yuxiu, pursed her lips, and asked hesitantly, "So, that Little Bao and Little Nian... um... are really your children?"

When Gu Yan asked this, her face blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed about asking such a question.

Tang Yuxiu smiled faintly, "What do you think?"

Seeing the slight smile in his eyes, Gu Yan blushed even more and mumbled, "Since we used to have... that kind of relationship, then probably yes..."

"What kind of relationship is ’that kind of relationship’?" Tang Yuxiu teased, leaving Gu Yan more embarrassed.

She angrily glared at him, "You know better than I do, don’t tease me."

Looking at her like this, Tang Yuxiu’s heart suddenly stirred.

The old Gu Yan used to look at him like this, a bit angry, a bit shy, and her words seemed a bit rushed. Such expressions were the most genuine.

"Ha~" Tang Yuxiu chuckled softly, a simple laugh that contained a lot of complex emotions, bitterness, yet joy, like someone at the end of despair suddenly finding a new path to hope as the fog clears away. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Gu Yan felt a strange sadness hearing this.

She always felt that he hadn’t been doing well these past years...

"Tang Yuxiu, in these five years, have you found another girlfriend?"

Tang Yuxiu’s eyes suddenly deepened, looking into her eyes, "Why do you ask this?"

Gu Yan looked at him for a long while, then said, "Seeing you like this, I guess you haven’t."

And she can feel that during these five years, he’s always been thinking of her, holding on to a hopeless notion, waiting for her to return.

Tang Yuxiu frowned slightly.

Gu Yan asked him, "Five years ago, knowing that I was dead, why didn’t you move on and start a new life?"

"You weren’t dead! Yanyan, in fact, you were alive and well."

"I’m talking about before I reappeared, during that period which wasn’t that long but not short either, Tang Yuxiu, why did you wait for me without hope?"

Tang Yuxiu’s eyes turned a bit deep, as if revealing shards of past memories.

In the days without Gu Yan, he was in unbearable pain, like a walking corpse, yet he had to pull himself together for the family, for the business.

He knew Gu Yan was dead, her ashes were already interred, yet he couldn’t accept such a cruel fact.

Sometimes people are good at deceiving themselves, and he was no exception.

In the solitary and lonely nights, when he missed Gu Yan immensely, he’d always think that she was just playing a trick on him, had secretly gone to another place, that she was alive, living well.

Thinking like this, the pain in his heart eased a little.

These five years, it was by relying on this thought that he persisted.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made it.

Losing her felt like losing the whole world, losing an entire vibrant, beating heart, how could he love someone else again?

Tang Yuxiu’s voice was low, his speech very slow, he said, "Probably, knowing you would come back, so I kept waiting for you."

In the unseen, guiding him, preventing him from living a lonely old age.

He never believed in fate, but this time, he was very grateful to God.

...

Xue Xianglan took the two children to the Xue Family, Xue Jiarui happened to be at home, seeing the two children excited like something, immediately ran up eagerly, but the two children were in a bad mood, completely ignoring him.

Xue Jiarui didn’t mind, still eagerly attending to them.

"Little Bao, Little Nian, what do you want to eat? What do you want to play? Brother will go buy it for you..."

Xue Xianglan unceremoniously slapped him on the head, "Xue Jiarui, have some shame, you’re so old and still have the nerve to call yourself brother."

"You’re talking nonsense, I’m obviously very young."

"Young, my foot, hurry up and get me two cups of water."

"Oh!" Xue Jiarui responded heavily, rubbing his head and went to pour water.

Xue Xianglan looked at the two children, quite the opposite of her harsh demeanor towards Xue Jiarui before, she was exceptionally gentle.

Xue Jiarui had never seen her so gentle in his life, just feeling goosebumps all over.

"Little Bao, Little Nian, what do you want for dinner? Auntie will cook for you."

Xue Jiarui came out with two glasses of water, almost dropping them when he heard Xue Xianglan say that.

Xue Xianglan actually said she would cook... this was probably the most surreal thing he had ever heard.

This robust old miss could cook? Was she joking with him?

But Xue Jiarui was very decent, said nothing, silently walked over and placed the two glasses of water in front of the two children.

Gu Xiaobao shook her head listlessly, "I don’t want to eat."

Gu Xiaonian was also in a bad mood, "I don’t want to eat either."

Xue Xianglan sighed lightly in helplessness, and said, "Little Bao, Little Nian, you promised Auntie, you’d come back with Auntie to have dinner, then clean up, so you can go to the hospital to see Mommy, don’t you want to see Mommy?"

Upon hearing Gu Yan, the two children raised their heads to look at Xue Xianglan, not looking too good, biting their lips as if hesitating.

"Be good, you didn’t eat at noon, you can’t go hungry again for dinner."

"I’m not hungry..." the two children murmured softly.

Xue Xianglan said, "Even if you’re not hungry, you have to eat, you don’t want your Mommy to wake up and find out you skipped two meals, only to worry and hurt for you, right?"

The two children immediately shook their heads.

"That’s right, you’re both very good children, if you worry so much about your Mommy, then eat well, don’t let Mommy worry about you, okay?"

After a while, Gu Xiaobao seemed to understand, softly nodded, "Okay, Auntie, I’ll eat and take a bath, Gu Xiaonian, you also have to eat and take a bath, or I won’t take you to see Mommy."

Gu Xiaonian immediately stated, "I’ll definitely eat well!"

Seeing the two children agree, Xue Xianglan felt relieved, really afraid they would insist on not eating, such young children cannot starve like this.

And she doesn’t have much experience in taking care of children.
