Chapter 551 - We were a family

Although Mo Yichen drove slowly, they arrived soon. After all, the distance was not long. Autumn was coming, and the night became longer. From the setting sun going down to the starry night, the lights were turned on outside the window. When Mo Yichen looked out the window, he found the window misted due to the temperature difference.

Mo Yichen was interested and wrote Gu Yan’s name on the window. Then he drew three people, two adults and one kid.

Gu Yan woke up at some time. She watched that Mo Yichen was doing these childish behaviors and looked at the poor drawing by him with a smile.

Gu Yan’s heart couldn’t help becoming softer again.

In front of her, Mo Yichen always could do anything. Whatever she needed and wanted, he always prepared in advance. Even if what she would use, Mo Yichen would always arrange it for her. He had been mature and considerate all along in front of her.

Mo Yichen was rarely childish. Since he was too early to be immersed in the big dye vat of the society, he had seen the immorality of society. So, he tried his best to protect Gu Yan. He had been played the dominated role in their relationship.

For this second, Gu Yan felt sorry for him. Except for her, no one approached him. No one could walk into his heart, and no one protected him.

In this huge world, only she could protect him fearlessly as his shield. Although there were few opportunities for her to protect him, or there was no chance at all, Gu Yan knew that if Mo Yichen needed protection, the person who stepped forward must be her.

Gu Yan was convinced.

Mo Yichen turned around and found that Gu Yan was awake and looked at him with a smile. He felt a little uneasy, like a kid who had made a mistake and was caught. As a man, he was blushed for his childish behavior, which made Gu Yan see his softness.

But then he thought, Gu Yan was his woman, so why was he embarrassed? There was nothing wrong to let her know that he loved her and Xiangyan.

Looking at Gu Yan, Mo Yichen smiled back and stretched out his hand to touch her face. He brushed her hair behind her ears and did not move away his hand. He just touched Gu Yan’s face and stared at her smiling face.

For some reason, Mo Yichen suddenly wanted to kiss Gu Yan. It was a pure kiss, a kiss without lust.

Mo Yichen thought so, and he did it indeed.

Mo Yichen gently kissed on Gu Yan’s lips. The moment the two lips touched, the soft touch made Mo Yichen feel at ease, and so did Gu Yan.

What a happy moment it was! Gu Yan silently kept this moment in her mind. Though it was an ordinary moment, it made her feel happy and have many deep feelings.

There must be countless moments like this in the rest of their lives.

Gu Yan secretly decided to give Mo Yichen more warmth and care. They were a family, the strongest bond and the most reliable relationship in the world.

“Go home.” Mo Yichen spoke to break the quiet. Gu Yan nodded. She took a deep breath and opened the door of the car.

Mo Yichen looked at Gu Yan in wonder. He felt that she seemed to have made a decision silently. However, when he saw that Gu Yan had gotten off the car and looked at him confusedly, he felt he thought too much. So, he also got off the car and locked the car.

Mo Yichen walked towards Gu Yan, who stretched out her hand. Mo Yichen smiled and held it up. His big hand tightly wrapped Gu Yan’s small and slightly cold hand. Then he put these two hands into his pocket.

Holding hands, they slowly walked into the night, and walked back to the warm love home in the night.

The next day, Gu Yan still woke up very early, and she firmly believed that she would maintain this state every day for the next twenty-nine days.

Gu Yan had a regular schedule, going to bed early and getting up early. This might be her secret of maintaining good skin.

Despite her sheer determination, she still felt muddleheaded in the morning inevitably. So, she turned on the tap and splashed a handful of cold water.

The water in autumn was indeed cold. At the moment she contacted with the water, she instantly became sober. She realized that she had been freed from the haunting dream. Now what she had to face was doing intensive work all day as usual.

Then Gu Yan started to wash up methodically. After washing up, she took care of her skin carefully. She was not only a meticulous woman but also a delicate woman.

When Mo Yichen woke up, he saw Gu Yan sitting in front of the dressing table. She was looking in the mirror, pouring out her skin care products from various bottles and rubbing them on her face step by step. Mo Yichen looked at her serious look and appearance in concentration.

“Awake? How did you sleep yesterday?” Gu Yan looked in the mirror and saw Mo Yichen had sit upright, staring at the mirror with the laziness of getting up early. Their eyes met in the mirror. Gu Yan smiled and asked. Stubble grew on Mo Yichen’s cheeks, which made him more masculine.

“Very well. How about you?” Mo Yichen cuddled Gu Yan in his arms every night. At the beginning, his arms were numb, and later he got used to it. If Gu Yan didn’t pillow on his arms, he would feel strange. Habit was really a strange thing.

It was not late autumn, so the two did not add a quilt. In such a temperature and such a night, it was warm enough for them to cuddle up together.

“Me too.” Gu Yan could see Mo Yichen’s face when she got up every morning, which was a happy beginning of a whole day for her.

Seeing Gu Yan had almost finished, Gu Yichen slipped out of the bed neatly, although he was reluctant to get up. He walked to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water like Gu Yan, using the cold touch to wake up a new day.

When Mo Yichen came out after washing his face, he found that Gu Yan had put on makeup, a light makeup. She never needed to wear makeup to show her beauty in the eyes of Mo Yichen. It was just for being polite to wear makeup. Mo Yichen thought so all along. He told Gu Yan to change clothes quickly, and he would heat the breakfast and drive her for work after finishing breakfast.

Gu Yan nodded and went to the closet to choose the clothes to wear today. According to yesterday’s experience, she generally knew that the people she was going to meet in Auslet were not tricky, so she didn’t spend more time on the clothes. She just causally chose a set of clothes that she usually wore, changed neatly and walked out of the room.
