Mo Yichen was just a man who won’t get any clever way to deal with the battle between women. All he could do was to count on Mo Xiangyan because he knew that the boy was the apple of his mom’s eye. His mother would be moved if Xiangyan could only cast a charm. Mo Yichen hoped today would be passed peacefully, having dinner at table together in peace.

…

Manla and Gu Yan walked to the gate of the mall and found a cool place. The weather was changing so fast. It was so cold in the morning but hot at noon. They all got sweat like a pig under the fierce sun in a short while.

“Mo Yichen is coming on his way, right?” Manla asked Gu Yan carelessly while looking at her phone.

“Yeah, he said he was close to me and would be here in five minutes. We will go my home first.” Gu Yan said sincerely with her clear eyes shining.

“Well, that’s a great relief! I have to go now.” Manla put the phone in her bag and was about to leave.

“Where are you going? Yichen is on his way, and we will give you a lift.” Gu Yan held Manla’s hands to stop her leaving. Manla had done so much for her, and she felt touched. When Gu Yan looked at Manla, who always thought for her, mixed feelings arouse from Gu Yan’s heart.

“It’s okay. Taxi can do that, too. What’s more, I won’t disturb your reunion. Have a good night. No matter what happens, I will be around you all the time. Call me if necessary.” Manla released Gu Yan’s clenched hands and caught a cab. She waved goodbye to Gu Yan.

Gazing at her receding figure, Gu Yan felt a little upset. She had been fighting for her happiness for a long time. It should be an outcome for the people who had been worrying about her for a long time.

Gu Yan felt more determined that she would present herself well and try her best tonight. The dawn of victory must be waiting for her ahead!

Gu Yan was lost in thought for a long time, and a whistle of a car brought her into the reality.

Gu Yan raised her head and saw Mo Yichen’s car. Mo Yichen looked at her with concern through the window. Gu Yan felt warm when she saw his eyes.

Gu Yan thought, “The man will always be with me no matter what happens. So, what else is there to be afraid of? I won’t be afraid even when I face the end of the world!”

“Everything will be okay tonight because he is here.” She thought.

Gu Yan smiled and was going to stand up. But her legs went numb, and she almost fell to the ground.

“Yan!”

“Aunt Gu!”

Mo Yichen and Mo Xiangyan were terrified and shouted almost at the same time when they saw that.

Mo Yichen got off the car, ran to her and hold her up at once. He asked anxiously, “Yan, are you okay?”

His voice trembled. He was so frightened than ever. His face was pale, and his eyes were full of worry.

Gu Yan looked at him and thought, “If one day I disappear from his life, will he freak out?”

And when she saw that he was so tender and anxious, she got the answer yes. He might lose his mind if she disappeared from his life.

Gu Yan touched his face, and her eyes filled with tears.

Mo Yichen was more afraid when he saw Gu Yan’s tears. He said with a trembling voice, “Yan, what’s wrong with you? I’ll take you to the hospital. Don’t be afraid. Yan, if it hurts you so much, cry it out. It will make you feel better!”

Mo Yichen held her up and ran to the car. Gu Yan was surprised at his reaction because she just couldn’t feel her feet only. Why would he go to the hospital? That was too much.

So, she said at once, “Chen. Waite a moment. Why should we go to the hospital?”

Mo Yichen didn’t stop running and said, “You fell down so we should go to the hospital to make sure everything is okay.”

Gu Yan was curious about what he was thinking. He usually was a smart guy. Why was he so stupid now?

Gu Yan shouted, “Chen, I just squatted for a long time so the leg is numb. Why should you go to the hospital?”

Mo Yichen didn’t listen to her clearly. He thought that she said, “I am good. We don’t need to go to the hospital.”

So, Mo Yichen answered directly, “How could it be good? We must go to the hospital. Early detection, early treatment!”

Gu Yan felt helpless and thought, “I just cannot feel my feet. Is it a big problem? If I really go to the hospital, the headlines on the next day will be written, ‘A young woman went to the hospital yesterday because she could not feel her feet. The young people are becoming more and more spoiled. The education now…’”

She felt embarrassed when she thought of that. So, she had to give up the warm hug of Mo Yichen and tried to get free from his arms.

Mo Yichen tried to hold her tightly in case Gu Yan fell down from his arms. Then he said anxiously, “Yan, don’t move. You even cannot feel your feet, so you must go to the hospital for an examination. Otherwise, the legs are likely to cause…”

Mo Yichen stopped. He lowered his head and looked at Gu Yan. He said uncertainly, “Cannot feel your feet?”

Gu Yan nodded and explained with a low voice, “I squatted for a long time, so my legs are a little numb, and I fell down.”

Mo Yichen flushed and stared at Gu Yan for several seconds, which made her feel uncomfortable. So, she said, “Chen, can you put me down?”

Mo Yichen averted his gaze from her and put down Gu Yan as if nothing had happened. And when he saw Gu Yan was still a little shaky, he immediately squatted down and rubbed her legs.

Mo Yichen lowered his head so that Gu Yan couldn’t see his face.

He really wanted to bury himself. Why did he say that when he didn’t listen to her carefully?
