Chapter 178: You’re Good The Way You Are

After appreciating the selfie for a while, she remembered what Yan Dong had said.

She sat beside Gu Shen and complained, “No matter what, I’m still Yan Dong’s daughter. He actually wanted to help you keep it secret and persuade me to be sensible. Also, at his birthday party previously, he even allowed Yan Qi to bully me. Fortunately, you were there.”

Gu Shen still remembered this. His eyes were cold, and his eyes narrowed slightly with a dangerous glint.

Yan Xi went on grumbling, “So don’t believe him. If you want to know anything about me, I’ll tell you myself.”

“Okay.” Gu Shen nodded. A moment later, he asked, “Have you suffered a lot in the Yan family?”

“Yes.” Yan Xi had no intention of hiding anything. She sat beside the wheelchair with half of her body on his lap. She looked up at the man obediently.

“I was young and didn’t have anyone to rely on in the Yan family, so naturally I was bullied a lot. But it won’t happen again!” Her words were filled with confidence. “Because I know that you’ll protect me.”

Gu Shen’s heart ached. He said gently, “With me around, no one will bully you again. I’ll deal with the Yan family.”

“Okay.” Yan Xi smiled at him. “I’ll protect myself too. For our future, I’ve been working hard to change.”

She paused, then asked expectantly, “Did you notice my chance?”

Yan Xi took the initiative and asked what Gu Shen had always been curious about.

She had changed a lot, and everyone around her could tell that. Rather than leaving it unexplained, Yan Xi thought she might as well explain it now.

Gu Shen looked at Yan Xi.

She had certainly changed a lot, especially the way she treated him.

In their previous marriage, the two of them only quarreled and had no feelings for each other. There was even a man between them. If Yan Xi hadn’t become gentle and proactive after that, they might still just be a couple on the surface.

“Hurry up and tell me,” Yan Xi urged.

“You indeed have changed in many aspects. Your personality and hobbies have changed drastically. It’s like you’ve become another person.”

Yan Xi really wanted to tell Gu Shen that she was indeed a different person. She was not the original Yan Xi. She was just using this body to change their fate.

Though the words were on the tip of her tongue, she still couldn’t bring herself to say them.

Gu Shen did not want to see her frown, so he sighed and said softly, “Nothing in this world is constant. Don’t worry, I think it’s good that you’re like this.”

Gu Shen held Yan Xi’s face and kissed her forehead.

“I don’t care what people think. I really like the way you are right now.”

Gu Shen was more like answering his own question than answering Yan Xi. Yan Xi was stunned for a moment before giving him a bright smile.

She hooked her arms around Gu Shen’s neck and kissed the corner of his mouth.

“Okay.”

“Let’s go down and eat.” After a pause, Gu Shen said seriously, “Be careful when you eat chestnuts next time. Don’t get choked again.”

Yan Xi was speechless.

Yan Dong never expected that what he did today would become the last straw that crushed the Yan family.

He was still looking at Gu Shen’s new post on WeChat. He could not believe that the woman next to him was Yan Xi.

“Gu Shen was actually in love with Yan Xi. If I had known that this ungrateful girl was so capable, I would have treated her better.” As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Old Madam Yan.

Back then, Old Madam Yan treated Yan Xi well. Even if this wicked girl didn’t care about him, she still had to care about the old madam.

He moved closer to Old Madam Yan.

“Mom, Yan Xi said she likes your dumplings. Make more tomorrow. Let’s bring some to her together.””

Old Madam Yan agreed happily. “Xixi likes to eat dumplings with meat filling. Get Nanny Li and the others to prepare the ingredients first.”

“Okay.”
