Chapter 89 - 85 The Child Is Still Young

Yan An stayed at Fenglin Villa for three days. Gu Yanjing didn’t go to the company and spent three days with her. Qiao Yuxian attended school as usual, and when she didn’t have classes, she came back and even went out with Yan An to shop and buy some things. On the first night Yan An arrived at Fenglin Villa, Old Sir Gu called Qiao Yuxian. It sounded like casual chat, but actually, he was inquiring about Gu Yanjing. Qiao Yuxian knew well that the old man probably knew about Yan An and wanted to ask about her. He didn’t ask Gu Yanjing, but instead came to ask her. Qiao Yuxian didn’t understand the reason and didn’t plan to say much, only telling him that Gu Yanjing was fine and there was nothing wrong. The old man was also a smart person, and after asking a bit indirectly, he didn’t ask further, chatted a bit more, and then hung up the phone. Yan An was doing very well at Fenglin Villa. Cooking, drinking tea, arranging flowers, and chatting and laughing with everyone. After three days together, Qiao Yuxian truly witnessed what it means to have the demeanor of a lady from a distinguished family. With an air of scholarly elegance, every gesture was graceful and gentle, speaking softly... except when Qiao Yuxian complained or tried to educate Gu Yanjing. However, her memory was still jumbled, and sometimes she would zone out. On the third night, Gu Yanjing’s people brought Shen Wenyan back. After receiving the news, Gu Yanjing told Su Qi to bring him to Fenglin Villa first thing in the morning. At around the same time. Qiao Yuxian received a call from Shen Wenyan. Her phone rang while Qiao Yuxian was applying a face mask. She glanced at the phone, saw it was Shen Wenyan, and immediately answered, "Brother Wen Yan?" Shen Wenyan heard her voice and chuckled, "Not asleep yet?" "Of course not," Qiao Yuxian replied with a smile, "It’s just after nine. The nightlife is just beginning. Are you back?" "Yeah," Shen Wenyan said, "Just got home." "Did you finish things early over there?" Qiao Yuxian lifted the mask from her mouth for convenience, "Last time you said it would be mid-October." "There’s some urgent business here," Shen Wenyan said, "I put things off over there for now." "Oh," Qiao Yuxian paused for a moment, "Then when are you free? I’ll come find you." "Anytime after tomorrow," Shen Wenyan said warmly, "If you don’t want to come to the hospital, let me know in advance, and we’ll arrange to meet elsewhere." "Somewhere else?" Qiao Yuxian asked with a smile. "I’ll take you to have some good food," Shen Wenyan laughed. "You better remember. You owe me a meal," Qiao Yuxian said. "Okay," Shen Wenyan said, "I’ve noted it." Qiao Yuxian chuckled, "Alright then. I’ll let you know in advance if I’m coming to find you. You should rest and adjust to the time difference." "Okay. You should sleep early too," Shen Wenyan said, "Girls shouldn’t stay up late, it won’t be pretty." "How’s that possible?" Qiao Yuxian said, "I’m the prettiest." Shen Wenyan chuckled softly, "Yes. You’re the prettiest." ... The next morning, Qiao Yuxian got up early to have breakfast with Yan An and the others. After eating, she sat on the sofa, not moving. Gu Yanjing glanced at the time in the living room, then looked at Qiao Yuxian, who showed no signs of moving, and said, "You’re late." Qiao Yuxian curled up on the sofa, hugging a pillow, pretending not to hear. Gu Yanjing looked at her for two seconds and called her, "Qiao Yuxian." Qiao Yuxian looked at him. He repeated, "You’re late." Qiao Yuxian looked away and stared blankly ahead, "I don’t want to go." Gu Yanjing looked at her. Feeling his gaze on her, Qiao Yuxian sighed and said, "It’s my thesis supervisor’s class. She wants my thesis proposal today. I... didn’t write it." Gu Yanjing: "......" "I don’t want to go," Qiao Yuxian said softly, "I don’t want to get scolded." "Your supervisor’s class is important," Gu Yanjing said. "How do you know?" Qiao Yuxian finished speaking and immediately laughed, "You care about me." Gu Yanjing ignored her. Qiao Yuxian said, "Missing just one class doesn’t matter." "Su Qi," Gu Yanjing directly called for Su Qi. Su Qi immediately came in from outside, "Mr. Gu." Gu Yanjing glanced at Qiao Yuxian and said indifferently, "Take her to school." Su Qi looked at Qiao Yuxian, and Qiao Yuxian looked at Gu Yanjing. Gu Yanjing knew she would look over, so he kept his eyes on her. Their eyes met, and Qiao Yuxian put on a pitiful expression. She moved closer to Gu Yanjing on the sofa, tugging at his sleeve. Looking up with a pleading face. Su Qi watched this scene, then quickly lowered his head, not daring to look further. Gu Yanjing stood beside her, looking down at her. Qiao Yuxian tugged at his sleeve again, "Can I not go? I really will get scolded. Very harshly." Looking at her innocent and clear eyes, Gu Yanjing finally softened a bit and gently touched her face, "You won’t get scolded." Qiao Yuxian caught the implication and her expression brightened. Gu Yanjing said, "I’ll go plead for you." "Really?" Qiao Yuxian was instantly happy. "Yeah." "Then I’m going to school," Qiao Yuxian checked the time, quickly got up, and headed out, "Let Aunt Mei know I’m off to class. Thanks, Special Assistant Su." "No need to be so formal, ma’am." Su Qi followed her. Thinking to himself: Mr. Gu didn’t just marry a wife, he practically raised a daughter. Qiao Yuxian got in the car. As the car was leaving Fenglin Villa, another car was entering from outside. The two cars passed each other at the gate. Qiao Yuxian glanced out without looking too closely, "A guest?" Su Qi said, "It’s Aunt Yan’s psychologist. Was out of the Capital City recently, just got back yesterday." "Oh." Qiao Yuxian didn’t ask further, dropping her head to ask in her dormitory group if anyone wanted food after class. Meanwhile, with her supervisor... She didn’t expect that Gu Yanjing’s "pleading" involved directly contacting the president of Jing University. She didn’t know what Gu Yanjing discussed with the president. But when her supervisor approached her after class, they said, "The president told me that you’re still young, your family treasures you, and I shouldn’t scold you." Then the supervisor teased, "So young, yet you know how to find people to plead for you." Even after the supervisor finished talking to her and she returned to her dorm, her face was still flushed, not returning to normal temperature for a long time. ... After having lunch at school, Qiao Yuxian went back to Fenglin Villa, planning to accompany Yan An. But when she returned, Yan An was not there, nor was Gu Yanjing. Only Aunt Mei was at Fenglin Villa. The lively place from the past few days had quieted down again. Aunt Mei said that after the doctor visited in the morning, Yan An repeatedly said she wanted to return to her place at the hospital. The doctor mentioned that if she didn’t display any extreme emotions or behavior in the new environment, and was very happy and relaxed, she could move out of the hospital. Being at home in a good mood could also aid her recovery. But just five seconds after the doctor said this, Gu Yanjing was happy, then Yan An mentioned wanting to return to the hospital. She said she suddenly remembered the flowers at the hospital hadn’t been watered and the goldfish hadn’t been fed. She was eager to go back to water the plants and feed the fish. The doctor and Gu Yanjing didn’t dare to upset her, so they had to go along with her wishes. So they took her back to the hospital. As for whether she would return or when, it was all unknown.
