War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 386: Familiar Taste

In the hospital, Gu Yan unknowingly fell asleep with her eyes closed, while Tang Yuxiu maintained his original posture, standing by her side without moving, as if he never got tired.

Xue Xianglan and Xiang Linghao brought the two kids to the hospital. Others wanted to visit too, but Xiang Linghao mentioned that since it was night, too many people wouldn’t be good for Gu Yan’s rest, so they all returned to their own homes.

"Mommy!" The two children excitedly rushed into the ward, causing Gu Yan to wrinkle her brows slightly. Tang Yuxiu quickly stood up and stopped the two children.

"Mommy is sleeping; don’t disturb her."

The two children immediately halted, looking at Gu Yan on the hospital bed, noticing she was sleeping soundly.

"Ah, we finally get to see Mommy, but she’s asleep." Gu Xiaonian remarked regretfully.

Gu Xiaobao said, "As long as Mommy is okay, it doesn’t matter if she sleeps more."

Gu Xiaonian nodded earnestly, "Yes, as long as Mommy is okay. Handsome brother, is Mommy all better?"

"Yes, she’s all better. She can be discharged tomorrow. You don’t need to worry."

"We’re not worried, not worried anymore." Gu Xiaobao repeated, then peered over at the sleeping Gu Yan on the bed, grabbing Tang Yuxiu’s hand and saying, "Handsome brother, let’s talk outside."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuxiu slightly curled his lips, patted Gu Xiaobao’s head, "Little Bao is so good, let’s talk outside."

Praised by Tang Yuxiu, Gu Xiaonian felt a bit unbalanced. In their hearts, they had already accepted Tang Yuxiu as their future dad, and being praised by dad felt different, she thought, as she also wanted to be praised by him.

She ran over, grabbed Tang Yuxiu’s hand, and said, "Little Nian is also very good. Handsome brother, praise me too."

Tang Yuxiu found it both amusing and endearing, "Yes, Little Nian is also very good. You are both very well-behaved."

Gu Yan was truly blessed to have such children.

And these children were also his!

Gu Yan acknowledging them as his children meant more than anything. Now, looking at Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xiaonian, the feeling in his heart was completely different.

Previously there was a sense of secrecy, but now it was out in the open.

As soon as Gu Yan wakes and tells them he is their father, it will all be officially recognized!

Just imagining such a feeling was already wonderful!

Xue Xianglan and Xiang Linghao watched like outsiders, feeling gratified.

Finally, they witnessed the moment Young Master Tang and Gu Yan emerged from the clouds to see the moon, with the two adorable kids; perhaps Young Master Tang’s life was now complete.

They were finally freed from the days of suffering under Young Master Tang’s influence, a painful history they wished never to revisit in this lifetime.

The two of them followed the father and two children outside, while Gu Yan slept peacefully in the ward, the soft light casting a gentle shadow on her face, tranquil and serene.

In the hallway outside, because this layer was a VIP ward, it was also very quiet.

Gu Xiaonian and Gu Xiaobao pulled Tang Yuxiu to sit on a bench outside, and Xue Xianglan and Xiang Linghao felt quite unnecessary.

"The three of you talk slowly, we’ll take our leave. Yuxiu, call me if you need anything."

"Okay."

"Also, Gu Yan is still in the hospital. If the kids get tired, call me, and I’ll take them home to sleep."

"Alright."

After Xue Xianglan and Xiang Linghao left, Gu Xiaonian and Gu Xiaobao sat on either side of Tang Yuxiu, still unwilling to let go of his hands.

Tang Yuxiu enjoyed holding their little hands, feeling as if the empty part of his heart was filled, no longer barren or cold, but extremely warm.

"Handsome brother, can we tell you stories about Gu Xiaoyan?"

"Sure, go ahead."

Of course, he’d love to hear everything that happened over the past five years when Gu Yan lost her memory and he wasn’t there with her.

So, the two children started recounting stories from the past, one sentence at a time.

Although the children spoke somewhat unclearly and occasionally argued with each other mid-story, Tang Yuxiu could grasp the gist of it.

Listening to the events of Gu Yan’s last five years, Tang Yuxiu felt as if he had been there with her, getting through the hardships alongside her, bringing a sense of comfort.

After talking for some time, the children began yawning incessantly, yet stubbornly fought against sleep, continuing to talk in defiance of their weariness.

Tang Yuxiu felt helpless yet let them be.

Sometimes, when the kids were stubborn, there was nothing anyone could do.

Ultimately, not quite five-year-old children, they soon couldn’t hold it anymore and fell asleep on Tang Yuxiu.

Tang Yuxiu gently withdrew his hands, looking down at the children sleeping on him, and he tenderly patted their little heads, his heart full of warmth.

He thought he would work very hard to learn how to be a good father and what was best for the children.

A gentle footfall came from within the ward, and Tang Yuxiu lifted his head, soon seeing Gu Yan coming out with a coat draped over her shoulders.

Gu Yan paused at the doorway seeing Tang Yuxiu, then quickly walked over when she saw the two children sleeping there.

"When did they arrive?"

"Over two hours ago. When they saw you asleep, they started talking outside."

Gu Yan touched the children’s faces, soft and tender, feeling a bit heartbroken.

"Why didn’t they wake me when they came?" Gu Yan felt a bit guilty, having just closed her eyes pretending to sleep, not realizing she had actually fallen asleep.

"They care about you too, wanting you to get more rest."

Gu Yan sighed softly.

Tang Yuxiu said, "Let’s call Xiang Lan; she and Ah Hao can take the kids home to sleep."

"I, I don’t have... Xiang Lan’s number." Gu Yan felt a bit embarrassed.

"Yanyan, you don’t need to feel so nervous or guilty; it’s not your fault you can’t remember; it was all because of the car accident."

Hearing him call her ’Yanyan’ made Gu Yan even more at a loss.

"Um, where’s your phone? I’ll use it to call."

Tang Yuxiu smiled faintly, "In my pocket, you can take it."

Gu Yan originally wanted him to get it himself, but seeing Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xiaonian both leaning against him, each on one side, he couldn’t spare a hand to get the phone, so she had to swallow her words and reach for it herself.

Unavoidably, she had to get close to him, and from him wafted a cool yet clean scent, leaving her momentarily dazed.

The scent was so familiar to her but recalling more about their past still remained elusive.

She took the phone from his pocket, stepped back, and lowered her head to turn it on, not daring to look up at him again.

Thus, she didn’t see the complex emotions and hidden passion in Tang Yuxiu’s eyes.
