The tearful Gu Yunxi in front of her was a complete stranger to her and she could not immediately connect with her "mother", but she felt a little familiar and close to Gu Yunxi.
The two contradictory feelings were intertwined, making the little girl a little overwhelmed. She turned her head and hugged Zuo Yi's neck, burying her face in Zuo Yi's chest: "Dad."
Like a little ostrich.
Gu Yunxi was stunned by Bao'er's reaction. The light of expectation in his eyes suddenly dimmed and he became sad.
"Baoer."
Chen Wan next to her was anxious: "She is your mother. Don't you want your mother anymore?"
Chen Wan thought that today would be a happy ending, but it turned out that she thought too much. Bao'er was obviously a bit repelled by Gu Yunxi. It obviously took time for the little girl to accept that she had an extra mother.
Bao'er hid in Zuo Yi's arms and shook his head.
Looks very stubborn.
Zuo Yi sighed secretly and said to Gu Yunxi, who looked disappointed: "Take your time."
He put Bao'er down, rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Go play with Tyke."
"Um."
Bao'er agreed, glanced at Gu Yunxi quickly, then spread her legs and ran out of the living room.
Chen Wan was about to cry but had no tears: "How could this happen?"
This situation was completely different from what she had imagined, and she felt sad for her best friend.
"It's fine."
Gu Yunxi wiped away her tears and smiled: "I'm sorry for Bao'er. I will work hard to be a good mother in the future!"
The strong Gu Yunxi is back again!
"aunt."
At this time, Zuo Yi saw Fang Yonghe standing at the door of the kitchen and quickly introduced: "This is Gu Yunxi..."
"I know."
Fang Yonghe interrupted him: "She is Bao'er's mother!"
Fang Yonghe was watching the whole process just now, and of course she knew Gu Yunxi's identity. She took two steps forward, took Gu Yunxi's hand, and said comfortingly: "Miss Gu, don't be sad, Bao'er is a very good child, she will definitely accept you."
Zuo Yi said: "Yun Xi, this is my aunt Fang Yonghe."
Gu Yunxi felt that Fang Yonghe's hand was very warm: "Hello, aunt, thank you for taking care of Bao'er. Just call me Yunxi."
"Well, Yun Xi."
Fang Yonghe said with a smile: "Then you can also call me aunt. We are a family and we don't need to be so outspoken."
The more she looked at Gu Yunxi, the more satisfied she became. Gu Yunxi's appearance was somewhat similar to Bao'er's. She was beautiful, tall, and had an outstanding temperament. At first glance, she looked like a woman from a famous family.
Fang Yonghe has always been worried about Zuo Yi's lifelong affairs, because Zuo Yi is still very young, and she doesn't want to see Zuo Yi guarding Baoer for the rest of his life. She should find another woman who likes him to accompany him in life.
Now Zuo Yi has found Bao'er's biological mother, and Gu Yunxi is so outstanding. In Fang Yonghe's view, this is simply a fate gifted by God, and she is looking forward to becoming a real family.
Gu Yunxi's pretty face turned red, but she still said obediently: "Auntie."
"alright."
Fang Yonghe patted her hand: "Just come back, everything will be fine. You guys sit down first, I still have to cook."
Gu Yunxi said quickly: "I'm here to help you."
She is not a delicate girl who keeps her fingers crossed. She used to do housework and knew how to cook.
Fang Yonghe really didn't treat Gu Yunxi as an outsider: "Okay."
Regarding Gu Yunxi's matter, Fang Yonghe heard Zuo Yi say something a few days ago. She sympathized with Gu Yunxi's experience. Now she also wanted to know more about Gu Yunxi, so she happened to have a few more words with Gu Yunxi.
Chen Wan also wanted to help, so Zuo Yi came to the door of the living room and sat down on the chair.
It had just gotten dark, and the little girl was playing fetch with Tyke in the yard.
When she saw Zuo Yi, she ran over to Tai, a foodie who was having fun, and threw herself into Zuo Yi's arms: "Dad."
"Um?"
Zuo Yi heard her voice a little timid and couldn't help but asked with concern: "What's the matter?"
Baoer whispered: "Dad, are you angry with me?"
Zuo Yi laughed dumbly: "How could dad be angry with you?"
"But, but..."
The little girl squeaked and asked again: "Dad, is that really my mother?"
Zuo Yi replied firmly: "Of course it is true."
He picked up Bao'er, stared into the little girl's eyes, and said seriously: "Baby, your mother has suffered a lot for you. She has always missed you. She loves you as much as her father."
The little girl blinked her eyes and lowered her eyelashes: "Yeah."
Zuo Yi was not in a hurry for success. After all, it would take a process for Bao'er to accept Gu Yunxi. He kissed her cheek and said, "Bao'er is a sensible and good child, right?"
The little girl nodded: "Yes."
Zuo Yi smiled.
He continued to play games with Bao'er and Tyke until the sky completely darkened and he heard Fang Yonghe calling for dinner.
The Linjiang old house was rarely as lively as tonight. In the small restaurant, Zuo Yi, Gu Yunxi, Fang Yonghe, Chen Wan and Baoer were sitting around the dining table.
Zuo Yi and Gu Yunxi sat on the left and right sides of Bao'er respectively. As soon as they sat down, Gu Yunxi couldn't wait to give Bao'er a honey roasted chicken wing - this is one of the little girl's favorite dishes.
Baoer politely said: "Thank you."
Although Bao'er didn't say the word "mom", Gu Yunxi still felt very happy: "You're welcome."
Her eyes were looking straight at Bao'er, and it wasn't until Chen Wan quietly pulled her sleeve that she realized what she was doing and hurriedly looked away.
So as not to put too much pressure on the little girl.
Fang Yonghe smiled and said: "Everyone, eat quickly. The food won't taste good when it's cold. Zuo Yi, Yun Xi, you guys eat more, and Bao'er, eat quickly too."
Although the atmosphere in the restaurant was a bit subtle, under Fang Yonghe's coordination, the dinner was still very warm.
During this period, Gu Yunxi brought food to Baoer several times, and the little girl did not refuse. Although she did not show any more intimacy to Gu Yunxi, she was already very happy for him.
After dinner, Baoer took Tyke and ran upstairs to the study room to do homework.
Gu Yunxi really wanted to spend more time with Bao'er, but she also knew that she couldn't be too anxious right now, so she followed Chen Wan's suggestion and prepared to return to her home in Guanhu Jingyuan.
Fang Yonghe took her hand and said, "Yun Xi, you will come here to eat every day and treat this place as your home!"
Gu Yunxi was grateful: "Thank you, aunt."
She could completely feel Fang Yonghe's care and love for her, and she was really touched in her heart.
Zuo Yi thought for a while and said to her: "You settle there first, I will come to find you later."
Gu Yunxi made eye contact with him, nodded and said, "Okay."
