Report to the president, the lady doesn't want you anymore

Only then did Gu Yan see clearly that there was another person sitting in He Li's car, and that person was her mother.

With my heart pounding, my eyes were fixed on the passenger seat, waiting for my mother to get out of the car.

When the car door opened, she also left He Li's arms.

He Li knew that Gu Yan loved her mother very much, although this mother had not been very kind to her over the years.

He stood there quietly, staring at Gu Yan silently.

Gu Yan's eyes were full of anticipation and joy, but at the same time, there was also a hint of complicated emotions.

If it were in the past, she would have rushed to her mother without hesitation and hugged her tightly. But after what happened at the Huo family last time, her mother almost strangled her to death, and that moment made her feel terrified.

Now facing her mother, she felt an indescribable fear in her heart.

This fear does not come from the fear of death, but is an instinctive self-protection mechanism deep in her heart.

In her subconscious, she was trying to avoid getting hurt again.

Although she knew her mother might not treat her like that again, that underlying worry always lingered in her mind, preventing her from completely letting down her guard.

"I know you've been worried about Auntie these days, so I went to ask the doctor. I learned that Auntie's condition has stabilized now. As long as she takes the medicine regularly and in the prescribed amount according to the doctor's instructions, she can effectively control the disease."

He Li is undoubtedly an excellent lover. When he loves Gu Yan wholeheartedly, he simply wants to present all the beautiful things in the world to her.

Hearing this, a warm feeling surged in Gu Yan's heart, gratitude flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a grateful smile towards He Li.

"Mom, it's windy outside, let's go inside."

Gu Yan took a gentle step forward, attempting to support Ye Shuang, but at that moment, Ye Shuang suddenly turned around and stared at her intently, her eyes revealing a cold and distant look. Then, Ye Shuang actually dodged the hand she extended, without hesitation, quickly walked over to He Li, and stretched out her hands, ready to shake He Li's.

However, He Li is extremely sensitive and disgusted by the touch of others. Apart from being able to accept close contact with Gu Yan, he will have a strong resistance to the touch of anyone else.

Seeing this scene, He Li quickly took a step back, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face.

"Auntie, if you have anything to say, just say it here."

Ye Shuang's eyes instantly turned red, and tears gushed out like a broken dam. She choked and said, "Xiao Ci, are you still blaming your mother? I really didn't mean to not take you out to play. Please forgive me." She held Gu Yan's arm tightly, as if she was afraid that she would lose him if she let go.

Gu Yan felt a pang of pain in her heart, but she knew that now was not the time to be sad.

She took a deep breath, walked forward and hugged her mother, trying to remain calm and said, "Mom, how could my brother blame you? He's just a little tired from playing. Can you let him go wash up first, and then we can eat together?"

Ye Shuang seemed to wake up from a dream when she heard Gu Yan's words. She slowly loosened her hand, a look of confusion and bewilderment in her eyes. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she slapped her head and said self-reproachfully, "Oh, look at my memory! It's Mom who's confused. Xiao Ci hasn't eaten dinner yet. Mom will go make him dinner."

After saying that, she hurriedly turned around and left. At this time, Asan got out of the car and brought Ye Shuang into the manor.

Looking at her mother's departing back, Gu Yan's heart was filled with helplessness and bitterness.

She knew that her mother's condition was getting worse and worse, but she was powerless to do anything.

Many years ago, my mother recognized me as her younger brother for the first time. It was a rare warmth that she enjoyed, even though it was done under the name of her younger brother.

Gu Yan's eyes dimmed, her heart filled with helplessness and sadness. She looked at everything in front of her quietly, as if time had frozen.

It was obvious that her mother now mistook He Li for Gu Ci, and she sighed silently.

He Li stood beside Gu Yan, hugged her, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I will be by your side from now on. I will take care of your aunt with you."

His voice was low and gentle, with a firm strength that made Gu Yan feel extremely at ease.

He Li's embrace was very warm, and Gu Yan couldn't help but snuggle into him.

She closed her eyes tightly, feeling He Li's breath, trying to forget the troubles and sorrows of the moment.

At this moment, the distance between them seemed to be closer, and their hearts were closer to each other.

An hour later, Ye Shuang cooked six dishes. She went to the kitchen as soon as she entered the house, and then Shen Anan could only stand there like a wooden chicken and watch her cook.

Although Ye Shuang was a patient, her craftsmanship was quite good. Gu Yan had to admit this.

Looking at the food on the table, Gu Yan panicked for a moment. This scene seemed familiar, reminding her of her childhood. Back then, Gu Yihuai was still considered a competent father, Gu Ciwei was still alive, and her mother hadn't gone crazy yet.

At that time, although the family was not rich, the family sat together for dinner, full of laughter and joy. It was a rare warm moment in Gu Yan's childhood and one of her most beautiful memories.

However, everything has changed now. Dad is no longer the same dad he once was, and Mom has become crazy and strange. The breakdown of the family and the departure of loved ones have left Gu Yan feeling extremely painful and lost.

She couldn't help but lament the fickleness of fate. Why was happiness always so short-lived? Why had her once warm home become like this? These questions troubled Gu Yan, causing her to fall into deep thought.

"Yanyan, why aren't you eating?" Ye Shuang's words brought Gu Yan back to her senses. She smiled at her mother and picked up a piece of braised pork. She choked because she ate too quickly. He Li, who was standing by, hurried to give Gu Yan some water and pat her back.

"Ayan, eat slowly." He Li said gently.

Hearing He Li addressing Gu Yan, Ye Shuang couldn't help but frown, "Xiao Ci, how can you be so disrespectful? Yan Yan is your sister, how can you just call her by her first name? You are really losing your manners as you get older."

Ye Shuang's tone was serious, and she seemed really angry.

He Li didn't say anything after hearing this. Gu Yan looked at He Li nervously, with a look of begging in her eyes.

Listening to Ye Shuang's lecture on He Li, Gu Yan, Shen An'an, and Ah San, besides the person involved, held their breath. It had been years since their Mr. He had heard such words. They all turned their eyes to He Li, wondering how he would respond.

He Li raised his head and looked at Ye Shuang, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

He said softly, "I know I was wrong." After that, he looked at Gu Yan again and said, "Sister, you will forgive your brother, right?"

When Gu Yan heard He Li call her "sister", her whole body felt numb.

She quickly put down the dishes in her hands, walked over to Ye Shuang, and took her arm. "Mom, don't be angry, my brother just spoke too quickly."

Ye Shuang looked at Gu Yan and sighed, "Oh, you kids always make me worry." She gently stroked Gu Yan's hair, her eyes full of love.

He Li saw this and quickly walked over, then took Gu Yan's hand and said, "Sister, you must take good care of me, your younger brother, in the future."

Ye Shuang looked at the two children and finally couldn't help laughing, "Alright, alright, you two are really making me laugh and cry."

The small storm passed, and laughter and joy returned to the dinner table.

Gu Yan and He Li smiled at each other and felt relieved.

The meal ended with Ye Shuang feeling sleepy.

After Gu Yan brought Ye Shuang to her room, she asked her to wash up first. When Ye Shuang finished washing up and lay down on the bed, she fell asleep in less than a minute. Today, she felt unprecedented warmth and happiness, and even in her dreams, she still had a smile on her face.

However, Gu Yan, lying on the other side, tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She quietly listened to her mother's steady breathing and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "This is so good!"

At that moment, her phone suddenly vibrated. She picked up the phone and found a message from He Li. The content of the message surprised her a little - "I think I'm allergic."

Recalling how Ye Shuang had enthusiastically picked up a few shrimp for He Li during dinner, Gu Yan remembered clearly that He Li had never liked seafood, so she could infer that he might actually be allergic to it. With this thought in mind, Gu Yan quickly stood up, put on her coat, and hurried out of her room, heading for He Li's residence.

For some reason, when Gu Yan walked to He Li's door and was about to knock, the door was opened in advance. Before she could react, He Li forcefully dragged her into the room. Due to the dim light in the room, Gu Yan didn't even have time to see He Li's face clearly before his lips were already pressed against hers with perfect precision.

Gu Yan opened her mouth and was about to ask He Li how he was feeling, but the next moment, her lips were blocked by He Li's thin lips.

He Li was unusually passionate today. His kiss was as hot as a burning flame, as if he wanted to melt Gu Yan completely.

Gu Yan felt her breathing becoming increasingly difficult, as if she was suffocating. Just when she felt she was about to faint from lack of oxygen, He Li finally reluctantly released her lips and began to move the battlefield.

Gu Yan gasped, trying to regain her normal breathing rhythm.

"Wait a minute... He Li, aren't you allergic? We should go see a doctor first!" Gu Yan tried hard to make her voice sound less trembling, hoping to persuade He Li to stop.

However, He Li let out a happy chuckle, with a hint of cunning and pride in his laughter.

"Sister, you are so gullible. I am not allergic at all. I just want to find an excuse to make you feel bad." He Li's voice was full of laughter, which made Gu Yan feel a little amused.

"Well... okay, but we still have to be careful. What if we really have an allergic reaction?" Gu Yan sighed helplessly. She knew that she had been teased by He Li again.

"Don't worry, sister, I won't let this happen." He Li gently stroked Gu Yan's hair, his eyes revealing determination and confidence.
