Chapter 236 Shopping
Mo Xiangyan felt very uncomfortable when Li Yunhong and Chen Qian were with them. Li Yunhong was always very nice to him, but he didn’t know why she always asked Aunt Chen to be close to him when they were together. However, Mo Xiangyan didn’t like Chen Qian behaving too intimately with him.
Because of this, Mo Xiangyan was happier when Chen Qian and Li Yunhong left.
Gu Yan felt Xiangyan was really lovable when he went into deep thought. She said, “Xiangyan, take your time. I will always be with you today!”
Mo Xiangyan’s thoughts were called back by Gu Yan’s voice. He looked at Gu Yan with his bright eyes and then looked away. He said to Mo Yichen, “Dad, let’s go shopping. We haven’t gone shopping for a long time.”
Mo Yichen lifted Mo Xiangyan up and gave him a kiss on the cheek, “Fine. Let’s go shopping.”
Seeing the interaction between them, Gu Yan felt warmer. She felt that they were more and more like a family of three.
The three of them arrived at the mall soon. Gu Yan suggested, “Yichen, let’s go to see children’s clothes. It seems that we have never bought clothes for Xiangyan together.”
Seeing the eagerness in Gu Yan’s eyes, Mo Yichen knew her inner thoughts as well. Because Xiangyan was born from a surrogate mother, Mo Yichen used to be unfriendly to Gu Yan. He never went to the shopping mall with her to buy clothes and toys for their child like a normal family.
At that point, Gu Yan definitely wanted to get compensation for what had been lost in the past. Mo Yichen nodded and said regrettably: “All right. In the future, we can go shopping often to buy what we want for him!”
Gu Yan couldn’t help laughing, and looked at Mo Yichen gratefully. Her expression became softer when she looked at Mo Xiangyan who was running not far away. Mo Yichen, who was staring at Gu Yan, had a soft feeling in his mind.
When they came to the shop of children’s clothes, Gu Yan said to the shopping guide: “He would like to try on this and this. Please take them down.”
“Wow, this is also lovely. It must be suitable for Xiangyan. Please take it down. Yes, I also want the one next to that!”
Gu Yan instructed the shopping guide to take the clothes and handed them over to Mo Yichen at the same time, hinting that Mo Yichen should change Xiangyan’s clothes.
Mo Yichen was stunned because Gu Yan had never been like this before. She was occasionally crazy, but she was tender at most of the time. However, Gu Yan at that very moment was totally different from the one before.
Mo Yichen thought that certain natural instincts of a woman could only be exposed in exceptional cases, like regarding Mo Xiangyan as a doll to play dress-up games.
Mo Xiangyan showed his reluctance and looked at Mo Yichen pleadingly, wishing his father not to agree with Aunt Gu’s request.
However, Mo Yichen lifted Xiangyan up and went to the fitting room, as if he didn’t notice Xiangyan’s begging. Mo Xiangyan was downhearted, feeling that there was no love in the whole world.
He doubted that he was not Mo Yichen’s natural son.
When brought out by Mo Yichen, Mo Xiangyan was reluctant. But Gu Yan ran to him with her eyes shining and pinched his fleshy face in excitement. She couldn’t help praising: “You’re sure my son. The clothes I picked out really fit you. You’re so cute!”
Gu Yan was immersed in her own world, completely ignoring Mo Xiangyan’s puzzled frown.
Hearing Gu Yan’s words, Mo Xiangyan asked wonderingly: “Your son?”
Gu Yan stiffened and replied awkwardly: “Maybe you misheard. What I said is ‘Yichen’s son’. Ask your father if you don’t believe me.” Then Gu Yan stared at Mo Yichen to warn him.
Seeing Gu Yan’s expression, Mo Yichen smiled. Of course, he would echo Gu Yan’s words. Besides, it was not the time to let Xiangyan know the truth.
Mo Yichen said undoubtedly: “Yes. You misheard. Aunt Gu said ‘Yichen’s son’.”
After hearing Mo Yichen’s words, Mo Xiangyan had to accept the “fact” that he misheard.
Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief after Mo Xiangyan had no doubt. Then she said to Mo Yichen urgently, “Go and try on the other clothes. I think the others are nice too!”
Mo Xiangyan stiffened and said hurriedly: “Aunt Gu, I also think the others are nice. So, I don’t need to try on and we just buy them directly.”
Gu Yan pretended to be angry: “How can you buy clothes without trying them on? No way. Come on.” Then she pushed Xiangyan into the fitting room.
Mo Yichen was also pushed into the fitting room by Gu Yan.
After Mo Xiangyan had tried on some more clothes, Mo Yichen realized that Gu Yan was going to let Xiangyan try all the clothes on. So, he had to stop her: “Yan, let’s go to the toy shop. Xiangyan wouldn’t wear all of these clothes in a short period.”
Gu Yan thought Mo Yichen had a point, so she reluctantly asked the shopping guide to put those clothes back and said, “Well.”
Hearing her reply, Mo Xiangyan was happier than ever. He looked at Mo Yichen gratefully and thought, “As expected, he is my natural father. He is still nice to me.”
When they just left the shop of children’s clothes, Gu Yan stopped suddenly and said, “Oh, how could I forget that!”
Gu Yan, who had been a little depressed before, was in high spirits soon, which made Mo Yichen nervous.
As expected, Gu Yan said: “Xiangyan is at the time of physical growth, so he may not be able to wear these over a period of time. Let’s come back then.”
Hearing that, Mo Xiangyan instantly wished that he would not physically grow any longer. Physical growth became such a horrible thing for him!
Mo Yichen also stiffened and said, “It depends.”
Gu Yan was so excited that she didn’t hear Mo Yichen’s words at all.
Finally, the shopping lasting the whole afternoon was over. Mo Yichen carried a lot of things in hands. Before going home, they were about to have dinner first.
Since it was inconvenient for Mo Yichen to lift Mo Xiangyan up, Gu Yan naturally kept close to Mo Xiangyan and held his hand.
Of course, the shopping experience delighted Gu Yan. She naturally held the hand of Mo Xiangyan because she felt they were a true family now.
