As she was deep in thought, Gu nianshen suddenly took out the pair of Blue men’s slippers.”Wear this pair.”
“Uh …” Lin Yiqian raised her head.”What about you?”
She was a little nervous. Could he have seen through her?
“I’m barefooted,”Gu nianshen replied.
He took off his shoes and walked into the house barefooted.
Seeing this, Lin Yiqian quickly removed her shoes and put on her slippers before following after Gu nianshen.
“Is my mother upstairs?”
Gu nianshen turned around to ask Aunty Hong as he could not find song Changwen and Lin Xiaoyu in the living room.
Aunty Hong nodded.”Yes, they just came back. They might be upstairs coaxing the child to sleep now.”
They …
When Lin Yiqian heard this, she immediately grabbed Gu nianshen’s hand and ran upstairs.
“Mother,” Lin Yiqian called out to song Changwen as she was about to enter the study room.
“What are you two doing here so late at night?” song Changwen was surprised to see them.
“We’re here to visit you and to pick Xiaoyu up,”Lin Yiqian said.
Lin Yiqian did not want Gu nianshen to say anything else. He would definitely be afraid of his mother.
“Xiaoyu is already sleeping at my place. Why should we bring him home?” song Changwen frowned as soon as she heard that they were going to bring Xiaoyu home.
His face was filled with disapproval.
“It’s alright. I’ll bring him back to sleep.” Lin Yiqian shook her head as she smiled.
Her tone was a little tough.
Since she had already dragged Gu nianshen here, she had no intention of compromising.
No matter what, Lin Yiqian could not possibly leave Xiaoyu alone in the hospital to interact with Xi Xia.
She didn’t care if she had judged a gentleman with her own mean measure. From now on, her husband and son were hers.
She had to watch carefully.
“The child is already asleep. Do you really have to wake him up?” song Changwen’s face turned cold as she could sense the unyielding tone in Lin Yiqian’s voice.
However, she was looking at Gu nianshen when she said that.
Lin Yiqian was not angry at her daughter-in-law for not being direct at her.
As she turned to look at Gu nianshen, she noticed that he was pouting as he looked at song Changwen helplessly.
“She won’t wake up if I carry her.” Gu nianshen quickly changed his attitude when he met Lin Yiqian’s gaze.
Without giving song Changwen a chance to speak, Gu nianshen held Lin Yiqian’s hand and led her to song Changwen’s room.
He had a feeling that song Changwen had left Xiaoyu in her room.
They had just taken two steps when the door on their left suddenly opened. Xi Xia walked out of the room in a loose nightdress. Her hair was half-dry and half-wet, which made her look unusually thin.
“Little Yi.” She stopped walking when she saw Gu nianshen and Lin Yiqian.
“Gu nianshen?” Lin Yiqian asked with a surprised expression before turning to look at Gu nianshen.
As she looked at Gu nianshen’s face, there was a glimmer of light on his Haggard face. However, when she saw Gu nianshen and Lin Yiqian holding hands, her eyes darkened.
Lin Yiqian noticed the change in Xi Xia’s expression. She immediately tightened her grip on Gu nianshen’s hand.
She was afraid that he would let go of her out of consideration for Xi Xia’s feelings.
“Xi Xia, you’re still awake?” Lin Yiqian greeted Xi Xia in a generous manner.
Xi Xia smiled and nodded.”Yes, I brought Xiaoyu to the mall to play last night.”
Lin Yiqian’s expression changed when she heard this.
As expected, Xi Xia was one of the ‘people’ that aunty Hong had mentioned.
Xi Xia noticed Lin Yiqian’s reaction as she continued to smile.””Xiaoyu was too tired from playing and fell asleep as soon as he came back. I gave him a bath and didn’t even have the time to dry his hair.”
