Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1211: Her Majesty the Empress (4)
The Gu Family has a rare quality, called sincerity. Both Gu Nuan’s father and mother are very genuine people, whether they like or dislike something, they make it clear, without any pretense, speaking their feelings as they come. Don’t be fooled by Gu Nuan’s seemingly deep demeanor; when it comes to people, she’s learned a hundred percent from her parents. Those who are good to her, she will undoubtedly reciprocate two hundred percent. As for those who aren’t, she’ll respond in kind, tit for tat.
Like now, seeing their own son here, Gu Nuan’s parents want to speak but don’t know what to say, so they just stand to the side. After a while, Gu Nuan’s father walks out the door to smoke a cigarette to relieve his frustration.
Gu Nuan’s mother sits there, staring at the floor.
Compared to Gu Nuan’s parents, Ou Yanan doesn’t seem to share their awkwardness. Knowing they are his biological parents, and having learned this fact earlier than they did, the struggles he should have had, he’s already gone through, and has passed the toughest phase. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there’s nothing particularly concerning. Between biological parents and children, it’s common for them to spend so much time together that they don’t know what to say to each other.
Between parents and children, that’s just how it is. Ou Yanan only thinks that if one day his biological parents fall ill, he would still show them the same respect and care as a son at their bedside, just as he does for Ou Chunhua. After all, without them, he wouldn’t be here in this world as Ou Yanan. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
No, he doesn’t have any resentment in his heart, and that’s something that distinguishes him from that guy.
Bending down, he listens to Lingxin’s lungs, confirming that the inflammation has basically subsided. Ou Yanan puts away the stethoscope in his hand, and then notices Lingxin’s gaze, which slips past him and lands in front of him, with his handsome little eyebrows furrowing a bit.
Ou Yanan turns his head and sees that Lingxin is looking at his brother, Mingli.
Little Mingli had already taken the opportunity when no one was paying attention to secretly take back the TV remote control and switch the channel back to the finance channel. Coincidentally, the TV was broadcasting the final judgment of the Rogers finance case.
The judge stood up and pronounced Rogers guilty of multiple charges, sentencing him to life imprisonment. Rogers immediately clutched his chest in the courtroom. The TV camera then cut to Rogers collapsing on the floor, and the ensuing chaotic scene of people rushing forward. Subsequently, due to the excessive disorder on-site, the judge called to stop the TV broadcast. The TV screen suddenly switched to a commercial break.
Little Mingli’s small hand holding the remote was shaking uncontrollably. Suddenly, as if the remote had burned him, he tossed it away and ran towards them.
Ou Yanan was startled but prepared to catch the child rushing over.
Who knew this little monkey could be so nimble? Climbing onto the bed as quickly and agile as climbing a tree, he jumped over Ou Yanan’s side and landed on his brother Lingxin’s hospital bed. He grabbed the quilt covering his brother and covered his own little head with it.
Everyone in the ward stared at Little Mingli’s unexpected actions.
Gu Nuan’s mother came to her senses, stood up, and shouted, "Xiaobai, what’s wrong?"
Ou Yanan was rather confused. When a child is scared, don’t they usually dive into an adult’s arms for comfort? What’s with this monkey? Covering his own head with the quilt first?
"Xiaobai—" Gu Nuan’s mother walked over to check on her grandson.
Lingxin spoke up, reassuring his worried grandmother, "He’s fine, just pretending."
Little Mingli often pretended, Gu Nuan’s mother knew that. This child was unbearably mischievous. Gu Nuan’s mother, resigned, said, "Then let him pretend. But, Mingli, why are you taking your brother’s quilt? Are you cold? Do you want to sleep? Grandma will get you another quilt."
