A lifetime of peace and care

"My great male god turned out to be married?!" This Weibo headline immediately attracted tens of millions of netizens to interact. The most miserable thing was that the small editors had to work overtime to send out press releases and soft articles. It was expected that various magical titles will appear in the future, such as "actress xxx, Supermodel xxx... These people actually lost to her..." 

At this moment, inside the car, there was nothing but silence. Leaning against the back seat, Yi Ran’s eyes were closed as she napped. She had stayed in the hospital for a long time and was really tired.

Gu Tingchuan had initially told her to return first, but she only said that, from now on, she will shoulder the responsibility of taking care of his body. Besides, she was really afraid that once she left, he will start working nonstop again.

However, she didn’t know if it was because of her words last night, but Director Gu had been very good. Today, he even allowed the driver to drive while he sat in the back with her.

Gu Tingchuan looked at Yi Ren. She was breathing evenly, and when her soft eyelashes trembled, it created an image that seemed to look as if it was covered by a light layer of mist. It was unexpectedly very nice. His lips curved slightly and he raised a hand to message his temple.

The small car gradually neared the coastline and the number of pedestrians on the road was significantly reduced. 

Yi Ran hadn’t been to the area in many years. If Gu Tingchuan’s apartment gave her a strong sense of literary drama, then the Gu parent’s house was probably the same as the mainland idol drama. When she went to the living room, she didn't dare to look around. But, when she heard the faint sounds of Gu Tai’s voice, her nervous emotions eased. She felt that since she had encountered such a good story in her life, it would be better to enjoy it as much as she could.

Sheng Ru saw her son and could not say whether she was happy or not. As she handed him a cup of tea, her eyes continuously drifted over in Yi Ran’s direction. 

Even though a girl like Yi Ran had become her daughter-in-law, she still thought that the girl was unqualified. Fortunately, she was Gu Tai’s teacher and not one of those female stars that Gu Tingchuan was always rumored to be with. The point was that this new daughter-in-law must at least be pure. At least she looked cute and quick-witted. 

Even though there were many dissatisfactions, Sheng Ru’s good manners still allowed her to smile. “You took care of Tingchuan for one night. It must be hard. Oh, he's been working so much over the years. How many times have I told him to be careful?" 

Yi Ran smiled and shook her head: “I took good care of him, so aunt you needn’t worry. "

Gu Tingchuan said in the next sentence, ”Call her mother.”

Yi Ran’s ears turned red. 

What she did not know was that Gu Tingchuan used the stable state of “marriage and childbirth” as a promise, allowing his parents to accept his marriage to Yi Ran while also dispelling the idea that they could arrange a marriage for him.

In Gu Tingchuan’s estimation, Tingyong and his wife, who was from an old aristocratic family, were bosom friends long before they got married. Yet, even this pair that had seemed like a match made in heaven was facing a marriage crisis. As a result, it was probably better for him to just find a person that he could accept.

Gu Lingfeng was sitting on the couch, pretending to read the newspaper and looking indifferent. Gu Tai fixed his eyes on Yi Ran and his expression was strange as he said, “Did you really get married?”

Yi Ran looked at his expression with some embarrassment and did not know why she suddenly wanted to tease him. “Yes, because I like you too much, little handsome Gu Tai.”

Gu Tai looked surprised and stared at her, his expression a little angry. 

Now that Gu Tingchuan had returned to his childhood home, he looked more casual and at eased. He sat on the sofa side by side with Yi Ran, picked up the cup, took a sip of hot tea, and then whispered to his nephew, “Your teacher has already told me your business. I will go and represent your dad.”

Gu Tai’s face slightly changed, but he still pretended to be unconcerned. “Just a small conflict between the students, ah, you do not need to go and visit." 

Yi Ran dared not interfere in the exchanges between them. She pretended to look down at the porcelain cup in her hand. It was difficult to see the pattern, but it looked like something made from the West. 

Gu Linfeng shot Sheng Ru a look. She laughed lightly, though her expression was not as good as before. "There is something we want to discuss together with you. Gu Tai, child, grandmother wants to talk to uncle and aunt. How about you go to the garden for a while, okay?" She affectionately squeezed his cheeks. 

Once Gu Tai left, Sheng Ru looked at the new couple in front of her. Her tone was light but there was no smile in her eyes. “You were too quick to get married, and there were many things that still had not been done. Yi Ran, you also know Tingchuan’s temper. I don’t want to say anything, but I hope you’ll understand that the Gu family is a large family. As a result, it won’t just be two people who got married. To make it easier for the elders to accept your marriage, you also must consider many practical matters.”

Yi Ran did not understand her mother-in-law’s exact meaning and turned her head to quietly look at Gu Tingchuan.
