Tang Anran was playing puzzles with Xiao Hang in the living room.
There were so many people in the carnie today. Whatever the program they wanted to play, there were a lot of people waiting in line,so, they only stayed in the carnie for a while. Then they went to the shopping mall and bought some clothes and toys for Xiao Hang.
”Mom, you made a mistake, this puzzle should go here,” Xiao Hang said and put the piece of puzzle Tang Anran just put down in the right place.
In fact, the puzzle was so simple that Tang Anran shouldn’t make any mistake. The reason for this error was that she heard the footsteps of Gu Wuyang.
”Xiao Hang, you are so smart.” Tang Anran smiled and rubbed Xiao Hang’s hair, then she looked at Gu Wuyang, giving him a smile.
Gu Wuyang didn’t find any difference, so he walked over to Tang Anran and sat down as usual.
He looked at Gu Anran, smiling and asking,” When did you come back? Why weren’t you waiting for me?”
”Because we didn’t know when you would come back.” Xiao Hang answered and asked a new question, “Dad, who is that aunt today we met?”
As a child, Xiao Hang was innocent and pure, so whatever he thought, he just spoke out directly.
Actually, Tang Anran wanted to ask this question when Gu Wuyang took the woman to get in the car. But she didn’t.
Tang Anran tried to forget it after Gu Wuyang left with the woman, but she failed.
Who was that woman? What was the relationship between her and Gu Wuyang? Would Gu Wuyang come back?
Being filled with these questions, she kept absent-minded all day.
Gu Wuyang kept looking at Tang Anran since he came back, so he noticed that Tang Anran was very nervous after she heard Xiao Hang’s question.
It seemed that she also cared about the answer to the question.
Gu Wuyang smiled and didn’t answer Xiao Hang’s question, but just said,” Xiao Hang, it’s time to have dinner, and now you need to wash your hand with Anti Xiao Rong.”
”OK.” Xiao Hang put down the puzzle and went to the bathroom with Xu Xiaorong after he heard Gu Wuyang’s words.
After Xiao Hang left, Gu Wuyang reached out and put the puzzle in Tang Anran’s hand on the table, then hugged her.
Tang Anran wanted to shake it off as soon as his hand just touched on her shoulder. But the harder Tang Anran struggled, the closer Gu Wuyang hugged her. Finally, Tang Anran had to give up.
”Are you angry?” Seeing that Tang Anran didn’t give any response, Gu Wuyang smiled and squeezed her face, saying,” Come on, baby, don’t be angry. I’ll tell you whatever you want to know.”
Hearing what he said, Tang Anran felt a little shy and happy. She turned around her head, but the uncomfortable feeling in her heart disappeared slowly.
Looking at her childish movement, Gu Wuyang explained with a smile,” She is Meng Yaxin, qho you’ve met before. Maybe you forget it because you haven’t seen her for a long time.”
Xu Family and Gu Family’s friendship had spanned for generations, so the Xu family also had an association with Meng Family. As a matter of fact, Xu Anran had seen Meng Yaxin before.
But at that time, Xu Anran was a little girl and she didn’t have a deep impression of her. Besides, it was a long time that they didn’t see each other and Meng Yaxin’s look also had many differences. Naturally, Tang Anran couldn’t recognize her.
Tang Anran didn’t say anything, but Gu Wuyang had thought of a reason for her.
But he didn’t know that the real reason was that she wasn’t Xu Anran.
This was the first time she heard this name from Gu Wuyang’s mouth. And before, she had heard this name from the twins and Fang Jiayi for many times. Therefore, this name was not new to her.
Tang Anran still remembered what Fang Jiayi had said to her when she was taken away by the police.
”Tang Anran, do you think that he really loves you?”
”You’re just a substitute!”
She didn’t know the relation between Mengyaxin and Gu Wuyang, but she could guess it after she combined Guwenya’s words and Gu Wuyang’s behavior today.
Meng Yaxin, she might be Gu Wuyang’s ex-girlfriend.
As she expected, the moment Tang Anran just thought of it, Gu Wuyang said honestly,” She’s my ex-girlfriend.”
While he speaking, Gu Wuyang looked at Tang Anran carefully. After he made sure that Tang Anran was not angry, he relaxed.
”She was injured, so I took her to the hospital. After that, I went back to the carnie to find you and Xiao Hang at first. I try to call you but get no answers. After a long time, I decided to go back home waiting for you.”
Gu Wuyang told Tang Anran everything except for the things about Meng Yaxin’s family.
In his opinion, these things were Mengyaxin’s privacy, which were none of their business, so he didn’t plan to tell her.
Gu Wuyang showed a smile to Tang Anran and made a joke,” Since I told you everything, my dear wife, are you still angry now?”
Hearing that Gu Wuyang called her wife, Tang Anran felt very shy and her face turned red. Then she pushed his hand on her shoulder away.
”It’s time to wash your hands and have dinner!” Tang Anran didn’t answer Gu Wuyang’s question, then she went straight to the bathroom.
In fact, this wasn’t the first time he called her wife. But this time they were too close. When Gu Wuyang talked to her, his breathes blew near her ear, which made her so nervous so that she found an excuse and kept away from Gu Wuyang.
Touching her burning face, Tang Anran walked faster, without looking back.
What she missed was Gu Wuyang’s indulgent smile and gentle eyes.
Over the next few days, Meng Yaxin didn’t show up in Tang Anran’s life. And Gu Wuyang picked her from work every day. Neither of them mentioned her again.
However, at the time Tang Anran almost forgot Meng Yaxin, she appeared in front of Tang Anran again.
It was 17th, November and also the birthday of the twins. To celebrate it, Gu Wensong and Fang Xia held a birthday party at the biggest hotel in Yang city for them.
Although they tried to embarrass Tang Anran before, she still prepared two gifts for them in advance. After all, they were Gu Wuyang’s sisters, so Tang Anran wouldn’t really get angry with them.
The party would start at seven o’clock, and they arrived at the hotel half of an hour earlier.
As soon as they walked in the hotel, they met the twins who were going out.
”Hey, brother.”Gu Wenya and Gu Wenjing waved their hands and greeted at Gu Wuyang happily, ignoring Tang Anran completely.
Gu Wuyang nodded and took outthe gifts that Tang Anran prepared for them and said,” These are your gifts prepared by your sister-in-law!”
It was just a very simple sentence, but included the deep meaning of maintenance and reminder. And Gu Wenya and Gu Wenjing got it immediately.
”She’s not my sister-in-law!”Gu Wenya gave Tang Anran a black look and said in a low voice dissatisfiedly..
Gu Wenjing who stood near her was unhappy neither. But considering that Gu Wuyang was still here, she pulled Guwenya’s dress and reminded her to stop.
Receiving the signal from Gu Wenjing, Gu Wenya knew that it was not the time to upset Tang Anran, so she pressed discontentment in her heart and showed a smile to Gu Wuyang, then said,” Brother, we’ve prepared a gift for you, too. And I’m sure you’ll like it.”
In fact, Gu Wuyang wasn’t interested in the gift at all. Besides, he was a bit mad at them because they ignored Tang Anran just now. So he just nodded and walked into the hall with Tang Anran and Xiao Hang without saying a word.
Looking at their backs, Gu Wenjing was a little worried. She frowned and said,” Will he like the gift we prepared for him or he will be angry?”
Normally, Gu Wuyang was indifferent to everything and it seemed like nothing would change his mood, but when he was really provoked, he was very terrible.
”Don’t worry. He won’t be angry and instead, he will like the ‘present’ very much. I swear!”Gu Wenya smiled proudly and held Gu Wenjing’s hand walking to the hall.
When they passed the trash cans of the hotel, Gu Wenya threw the gifts prepared by Tang Anran in them without any hesitation.
When Gu Wuyang walked into the hall, all of the guests stopped talking at the same time and turned to look at them.
Most people in Yang city knew Gu Wuyang, the Senior Officer of Yang city, who had got married two months ago. So after seeing that he walked into the hall with Tang Anran and a five-year-old child, all of them began to guess and discuss about their relationship.
Of course, Tang Anran and Gu Wuyang had already been used to this situation, but as the first time for Xiao Hang, being stared and discussed by so many people made him so nervous that his palms got sweaty.
Sensing something was wrong with Xiao Hang, Tang Anran bent down and asked,” Xiao Hang, what’s wrong with you? Are you OK?”
”Nothing.” Xiao Hang shook his head and rolled his eyes anxiously. After noticing the curious eyes that were looking at him, he looked down immediately.
Indeed, none of them meant bad and they were just curious about him who suddenly appeared.
But their aggressive eyes reminded Xiao Hang of Chen Sheng, the director of the welfare home, who was a demon that enjoyed abusing children.
Seeing his difference, Tang Anran and Gu Wuyang looked at each other and they immediately knew what was going on him.
”Xiao Hang, don’t be afraid. All of them are good people.”Gu Wuyang squatted down in front of Xiao Hang and smiled to reassure him,” Mom and dad are here, and we will protect you all the time.”
Hearing Gu Wuyang’s words, Xiao Hang felt better.
He clenched his fist and nodded at Gu Wuyang, saying,” I’ll protect you when I grow up!”
His voice was very childish, but he tried to say it like an adult, which was so cute and made both Gu Wuyang and Tang Anran smile.
At this time, Meng Yaxin came into the hall with the twins smilingly, and then she saw the warm scene.
She stopped and got dazed immediately.
Feeling that someone was looking at her, Tang Anran stood up unconsciously. As she turned her head back, she saw the meaningful eyes of Meng Yaxin.
