Min Shiyan's ex-wife was a terrorist and was killed two months ago - Gu Yixuan didn't know how to tell her mother about this.
But about Xiaojie, she could tell: "Mom, Xiaojie and Shiyan are not related by blood."
Mother Gu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Yixuan in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"Shiyan's ex-wife lied to him, and that child is not his." Gu Yixuan could only say so much.
Mama Gu pondered for a moment, then sneered after a while: "No wonder you ran away suddenly, he would look for you."
"..."
"Now he comes to you because he knows you are pregnant, right?" Mama Gu slapped the table fiercely, "Tell him to get through me first. My daughter is not someone who can just come and go when he calls her.
Yes! Does he know that I took leave to take care of you in City A?"
"..." Gu Yixuan regretted it. If she had known that her Mrs. Gu would be so excited, she would have kept everything secret.
But no matter how regretful it is, the days will still pass by quietly.
When Min Shiyan was still in the hospital, he couldn't use his mobile phone due to special circumstances, but now that he is discharged from the hospital, although Gu Yixuan can't see him often, he can call and video chat with him every day, and his life is not boring.
When the first weekend of the new year arrived, Gu Yi made an appointment with Min Shiyan: "Let's go see Tianning tomorrow."
Min Shiyan called Zhan's house and asked about it. Zhan Yiyang was back on vacation, so Tianning would not go to the army this weekend. He nodded and told Gu Yixuan: "I will pick you up tomorrow."
The next day, Gu Yixuan told her mother that she was going out for the day.
Mother Gu was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper with glasses on. After hearing this, she shook the newspaper and sneered: "With Min Shiyan?"
Gu Yixuan nodded: "He and I are going to see a friend."
Gu’s mother looked at Gu Yixuan as if she hated the iron, and said, “I can’t live up to expectations!”
Gu Yixuan glanced at the ceiling and said in a nonchalant tone: "If you don't live up to expectations, it's all your fault."
Mama Gu suddenly laughed, "Go away, I'll get annoyed when I see you."
Gu Yixuan couldn't help but laugh, and finally kissed her mother on the face before going out.
Outside the door, Min Shiyan's car was waiting. He was driving the car she hit when they first met.
From the time she hit Min Shiyan's car to when he drove the car to pick her up, it was only half a year. But Gu Yixuan's experiences in these six months were richer than in her entire life.
When you fall in love with someone, you will really be surprised.
Thinking about it, Gu Yixuan smiled, walked over and got into the passenger seat.
Min Shiyan returned to the driver's seat, started the car, and drove towards the Zhan family.
On the way, Gu Yixuan talked to Min Shiyan about his mother's attitude while looking at the scenery, which was nothing more than a hint to Min Shiyan: the road ahead will be difficult, so be mentally prepared.
Min Shiyan looked less stressed and smiled calmly.
"Aren't you worried at all?" Gu Yixuan looked at Min Shiyan curiously.
"I know how to handle the matter, and... I'm sure you can't run away." Min Shiyan turned his head and glanced at Gu Yixuan, "Why should I worry about this?"
Gu Yixuan suddenly became depressed: "Are you sure I can't run away? My legs are not on your body, how can you be so sure?"
Min Shiyan didn't say much, but glanced meaningfully at Gu Yixuan's belly, which was about to swell.
Gu Yixuan instantly understood what Min Shiyan meant - the child in her belly was his, and no matter what path they took next, they would end up together.
So, he is not worried.
After thinking about it, Gu Yixuan stopped worrying and leaned back comfortably on the chair. After a while, the Zhan family arrived.
When they got out of the car, they saw Zhan Yiyang and his son running back.
The long road is lined with tall camphor trees and plane trees. The father and son, who look exactly alike, are jogging back side by side with almost the same posture.
They were wearing a set of light gray parent-child outfits. Zhan Yiyang looked at Tianning with particularly gentle eyes, and the little guy's smiling face facing the sun was also very cute.
No matter how you look at this picture, there is love in it.
Gu Yixuan walked to Min Shiyan: "They... are already willing to accept Rongrong's departure."
Min Shiyan shook his head: "They just know that they should live a good life."
At this time, Zhan Yiyang and his son had already ran back. When Tianning saw Min Shiyan and Gu Yixuan, he smiled like an angel: "Uncle Min, Aunt Yixuan."
Gu Yixuan walked over and wiped the sweat from Tianning's forehead: "Are you tired?"
Tianning shook his head. He had been running long distances every day for several months. Therefore, running around the mountain road was no longer a difficult task for him.
Zhan Yiyang lifted Tianning's sweaty hair from his forehead: "Go in."
After entering the house, Zhan Yiyang took the water from his aunt and gave Tianning a glass. The father and son faced each other and drank the whole glass of water.
Gu Yixuan looked at this picture, and her heart suddenly felt sour. She envied the father-son relationship between Zhan Yiyang and Tianning, but she also felt that there was someone missing between father and son - Xu Rongrong.
If Xu Rongrong was still here, everything would be perfect.
But...it's impossible.
Min Shiyan called Zhan Yiyang and said he had something to tell him, and then followed Zhan Yiyang to the study on the second floor.
In the living room, only Gu Yixuan and Tianning were left.
The aunt brought a hot towel and said she wanted to wipe Tianning's sweat. Gu Yixuan took it and wiped the sweat from the little guy's forehead while asking: "Tianning, can we go for a walk outside?"
The little guy nodded and followed Gu Yixuan to the garden outside.
Gu Yixuan didn't know how to mention Xu Rongrong naturally, so she could only pretend to look at Tianning's sportswear and said, "The clothes on you are very nice, who bought them for you?"
Tianning's eyes brightened, but then dimmed as if he suddenly remembered something. He lowered his head and said, "Mom bought it for me and dad."
Gu Yixuan's eyes turned red instantly. She knelt down and looked at Tianning at eye level: "Do you miss your mother very much?"
Tianning looked at Gu Yixuan for a long time, and finally nodded.
Gu Yixuan could clearly see that Tianning's eyes were a little red, but the little guy held back the tears very strongly: "Auntie said that mom just went to a place far away, and she can still see me and dad."
"Yes." Gu Yixuan nodded, "So, you and your father must live happily as before."
Tianning nodded, then smiled: "Aunt Yixuan, is there a little brother or sister in your belly?"
"I don't know yet." Gu Yixuan rubbed the little guy's black hair, "Do you want him to be a little brother or a little sister?"
Tianning did not hesitate: "Little brother!"
"Why?" Gu Yixuan expressed curiosity.
"If you are a little brother, you can learn Taekwondo with me."
"Is it boring for you to study alone?"
"No." Tianning shook his head, "This way, there will be one more person protecting Nian En with me."
Gu Yixuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Is this your idea? But... well, if Auntie has a little brother in her belly, let him protect Nian En with you in the future!"
"Yes!" Tianning nodded, with a serious look in his eyes that was inconsistent with his age.
Gu Yixuan chatted with Tianning for a few more words, and it was almost certain that the little guy missed Xu Rongrong very much, but he would not cry or make trouble. He would only live a good life with Zhan Yiyang with this longing.
She was very happy that Tianning could think this way, but she couldn't help but feel sad - for a six-year-old, Tianning knew too much.
If you know too much, you are destined to live a heavier life than others.
But this can be regarded as a kind of training. She can almost see what Tianning will look like when he grows up - no less than Zhan Yiyang.
After a while, Commander Zhan and his wife came back from outside. Tianning followed them into the house. Zhan Yiyang and Min Shiyan also happened to come down from the study. Commander Zhan simply left Min Shiyan and his wife down for dinner.
The lunch was a lot more lively because of the addition of Min Shiyan and his wife. Liang Shuxian asked about the wedding date of Gu Yixuan and Min Shiyan. Min Shiyan sighed: "My future mother-in-law is still blaming me."
Commander Zhan and his wife knew why Minggu's mother blamed Min Shiyan, but when they mentioned that incident, Zhan Yiyang would inevitably think of Xu Rongrong, and the lively atmosphere instantly cooled down.
Zhan Yiyang noticed it and raised his head to look at Min Shiyan: "Didn't I tell you that you can talk about things on the island when necessary? Rongrong hopes that you can all be well and don't delay it any longer."
Others were a little surprised when he mentioned Xu Rongrong's name so calmly. Min Shiyan coughed and smiled as he accepted Zhan Yiyang's words, and the atmosphere finally warmed up again.
After the meal, Min Shiyan played with Tianning for a while, then stood up to say goodbye.
On the way back, Gu Yixuan looked at the scenery outside the window and said, "Tianning and Zhan Yiyang are like this now. I feel relieved but also worried."
Min Shiyan understood what Gu Yixuan meant. There was really nothing to worry about in the current state of Zhan Yiyang and his son. But if time goes on, if time cannot heal their wounds, then they will become more and more painful.
Now, everyone's mood is as mixed as Gu Yixuan's.
However, no one can help.
"This matter," Min Shiyan said, "I believe Zhan Yiyang will handle it well. He will never give up on Tianning if he gives up on anyone. For Tianning, he will adjust his mood."
Gu Yixuan can only think like this now, but - "There is another question, I want to ask you - Xiaojie, what are you going to do?"
"I have explained clearly to my parents that Xiaojie is not their biological grandson. Xiaojie was picked up by his uncle some time ago."
"Who is Xiaojie's biological father?" This is something Gu Yixuan has always been curious about.
"It's Charles." Min Shiyan said.
Gu Yixuan felt sad after the accident - Xiaojie and Tianning were about the same age and had lost their parents.
She couldn't understand that when Wei An decided to have a child, it must be because she also loved children, but why didn't she and Charles think about the child?
"Don't think about it." Min Shiyan said, "Everyone has his own way to go."
Gu Yixuan thought for a moment and nodded with a smile - a person's life is a long road.
What she can be sure of is that Min Shiyan's next road won't be easy - his future mother-in-law will be difficult to deal with.
