Chapter 214 Manla was back
When Assistant Liu and other colleagues came back after lunch, they found that Gu Yan was still in a daze in the office.
Assistant Liu and other colleagues looked at each other and they were worried about Gu Yan. Assistant Liu took a deep breath and knocked at the door of Gu Yan’s office.
“Rat-tat!”
Hearing the knock on the door, Gu Yan gathered her thoughts suddenly and replied, “Please come in!”
When Assistant Liu came in, she found Gu Yan’s was haggard. Assistant Liu asked with concern, “President Gu, why not go back to take a break. Only after you have a good rest can you work more efficiently. You don’t look good today. Take care of yourself!”
Gu Yan cast a glance at the documents on the table. She knew that she was too absent-minded to deal with them. She rubbed her eyebrows and sighed, “Okay, I’m leaving. Call me anytime!”
Assistant Liu promised, “Sure, President Gu, we’ll do our job. Please rest assured and take care of yourself.”
Gu Yan nodded. She packed up and left the studio.
After coming home, Gu Yan took a shower. Then she heard someone opening the door. She thought it was Mo Yichen.
Was Mo Yichen back? Was Chen Qian taking care of Xiangyan in the hospital alone? Thinking of that, Gu Yan was a little anxious. She did not think that Chen Qian could take good care of Xiangyan.
Gu Yan came to the door anxiously. Unexpectedly, it was Manla rather than Mo Yichen who stood at the door!
Gu Yan was disappointed. But thinking that Mo Yichen was looking after Xiangyan in the hospital with Chen Qian, she felt somewhat relieved. Gu Yan looked at Manla and said in a weak voice, “What are you doing here?”
Manla was wearing her slippers at that time. Then she asked Gu Yan with her head lowered still, “What’s the matter? You don’t want to see me here? Who do you think it is? President Mo?”
Gu Yan was in a bad mood and she ignored Manla’s banter, “I just wonder why you come back so suddenly?”
Manla felt that Gu Yan was not herself today. Her voice was listless and hoarse, not as clear as before.
She looked up and saw Gu Yan’s haggard face and glassy eyes. She looked ill. Manla was so worried that she didn’t hung her coat and directly ran to Gu Yan and asked, “Gu Yan, what’s wrong with you? Are you sick?”
Manla stretched her hand to touch Gu Yan’s forehead. Gu Yan stopped her and said, “Nothing serious. I am not sick.”
Manla was relieved, but she then felt more puzzled, “So, what happened? Why do you look so haggard?”
Gu Yan also wanted to pour out her troubles to someone. In the past, she could confide to Mo Yichen. But this time she could say nothing to him. It would make her more disturbed.
Gu Yan sat on the sofa and told Manla what happened to her recently. Manla was stunned and sighed, “What you’ve experienced recently is like the plots of the TV show, full of twists and turns!”
Gu Yan burst into tears and said, “Manla, what should I do? I finally managed to live with Yichen and Xiangyan. But why do things change halfway?”
“Yichen’s mother has just changed her attitude towards me, but now... I shouldn’t have made such a mistake at this critical moment. I shouldn’t have taken Xiangyan to the park during this period since it was so easy to catch the flu. What should I do?”
Manla hugged Gu Yan and patted her back gently, “Relax. Don’t blame yourself! I think Xiangyan did not recuperate from his cold, so he relapsed. It’s not your fault.”
Gu Yan kept crying, and soon Manla’s clothes were wetted. She said in a choked voice, “Manla, would Yichen blame me? I just started to take care of Xiangyan, but he is hospitalized now. I’m afraid that Yichen won’t allow me to look after Xiangyan anymore!”
Manla comforted her and said, “He won’t. Mo Yichen loves you so much, and you are Xiangyan’s mother. He won’t do so. He will understand that Xiangyan did not recuperate from his cold so that he caught the flu. It’s not your fault. He won’t blame you!”
In fact, Gu Yan also believed in Mo Yichen. But she was being so negative and pessimistic. After crying for a while, she looked at Manla and asked, “Manla, Yichen’s mother will not approve of our relation. She will do everything she can to separate us. What should I do?!”
Manla didn’t know what to say. After all, Li Yunhong was dissatisfied with Gu Yan before. This time, Xiangyan caught a cold when he was in Gu Yan’s care. Li Yunhong would definitely object to their relation. However, Manla still needed to comfort her, and she was silent for a moment.
Seeing Manla was speechless, Gu Yan also knew that Li Yunhong would definitely treat her worse than before!
Gu Yan stared at the floor in a daze, weeping. Manla was distressed and worried about Gu Yan. She was afraid that Gu Yan would be hospitalized before Xiangyan was discharged from the hospital!
Manla pulled Gu Yan from the sofa and said, “Gu Yan, cheer up. You are now too weak to take care of Xiangyan. You should take good care of yourself first. Go to sleep and take a break!”
Gu Yan didn’t want to sleep now, but she didn’t want Manla to worry about her, too. So, she went to the bedroom and lay on the bed with her phone in her hand. She was waiting for Mo Yichen’s message.
Manla sat at Gu Yan’s bedside and said softly, “Gu Yan, don’t think too much. Things will eventually sort themselves out. You are Xiangyan’s mother, and no one can change it. Mo Yichen likes you so much. Chances are Li Yunhong will allow you to take care of Xiangyan. She changed her attitude before, didn’t she?”
Gu Yan nodded silently and closed her eyes!
Manla looked at Gu Yan for a while beside her bed, knowing that she couldn’t fall asleep for a moment. She didn’t know what to say and then left Gu Yan’s room gently.
On second thoughts, Manla sent a message to Mo Yichen, asking him to make time to see Gu Yan. She thought Mo Yichen could comfort Gu Yan and cheer her up!
