At this moment, not only did Gu Qingchen’s body relax, but his heart also opened up!
He finally heard Bei Ran’s innermost thoughts. She wouldn’t be with Tang Baijin, so there was a chance he could pursue her again, right?
"If that’s what you’re thinking, then that’s great!" Gu Qingchen said, "Before we have evidence to sue Tao Yu’en, we still need to be careful of her tricks!"
"I will!" Bei Ran nodded resolutely, "I will never allow her to harm my child again..."
She would never allow it!
At this time, Bei Ran’s cellphone rang. It was Tian Xin who called. While Bei Ran and Tian Xin were talking, Gu Qingchen went into the ward to see the little one.
"Xinxin, today the little one was scared by an old hag dressed as a ghost during the enrichment class, and the mirror shattered, injuring the little one. I’ve brought her to the hospital. But, the injury has been treated," Bei Ran said, "Don’t worry too much; she’s already feeling a bit better."
Tian Xin, worried, said: "This old hag is getting too much, now turning her hand against the little one. If the big one were here, she certainly wouldn’t let her off either. We must do something, or she’ll really become insufferable! We’ll discuss this later, I’ll come to the hospital to see the little one now."
The little one was also the apple of her eye. Know this, anyone who dares to harm the little one will face endless trouble with Tian Xin!
At this time, in the hospital ward.
The little one had already woken up and watched Gu Qingchen changing her IV fluid, then carefully checked the label on the medicine bottle with what was written on the board.
"Knight Uncle..." The little one refused to sleep on her own, struggling to get up as her mother wasn’t in the room; she sought something to rely on.
After Gu Qingchen finished changing the IV fluid, he took her into his arms, "Don’t be afraid, the knight has already caught the ghost. It was just someone dressed up to deceive and scare people. Once the little one is better, Knight Uncle will take you to see and expose those tricks, then you won’t be afraid anymore!"
"I believe in Knight Uncle..." The little one snuggled against him.
Being trusted by a child felt as if he was her entire world.
Gu Qingchen also cherished this little girl from the bottom of his heart!
"Where’s Mommy?" The little one tilted her head and asked him.
Gu Qingchen pointed outside, "Mommy is outside on the phone, she’ll come in soon, there’s no need to be scared."
The little one watched him, "I’m not afraid with Knight Uncle by my side."
Gu Qingchen felt a fullness of happiness, as if a long-neglected corner of his heart was being gradually filled by this innocence and charm.
It was as if his long-parched soul was being moistened by the purity of a tiny angel, allowing his dry heart to finally feel a bit of tender continuity.
"Well then, Knight Uncle will stay with the little one tonight, is that okay?" Gu Qingchen said softly.
"That’s great!" The little one had always admired him. So, this was what Mommy meant by a blessing in disguise! She had never spent so much time with Gu Qingchen before!
As the two were talking, Tian Xin had hurriedly rushed in. Upon seeing the little one, she immediately ran over, and in her haste, she almost threw herself into Gu Qingchen’s embrace.
"My little treasure, let Auntie Sweetheart have a look. I’ll never let that old hag get away with it," Tian Xin said, pulling the little one into her arms.
"Auntie Sweetheart, I’m okay, you don’t need to be angry anymore!" The little one, now comforted by both Bei Ran and Gu Qingchen, was feeling much better.
Tian Xin nodded, "That’s good! Auntie was worried to death!"
"Auntie Sweetheart, it hurts..." Suddenly the little one cried out.
Gu Qingchen immediately scolded Tian Xin, "How can you be so rough? The little one is already on her second IV needle, if you knock it out it’ll be the third time now, and also, the little one’s injury is on her back, hugging her like that, of course it will hurt..."
Tian Xin immediately let her go, "The little one got injured on her back... I’m sorry, Auntie Sweetheart didn’t know, come, I’ll blow on it, does it still hurt...?"
"It doesn’t hurt anymore..." Even though it was indeed very painful, the little one knew Tian Xin loved her, so she wouldn’t say it hurt.
At this moment, Tian Xin turned to Gu Qingchen, speaking irritably: "What’s the use of showing kindness now? What were you doing earlier?"
Gu Qingchen was angry as well: "If I had known Bei Ran had children before we divorced, do you think I, Gu Qingchen, would have been the kind of man to despise them?"
