I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 220 There was silence in the room, and the afterglow of the setting sun spread all over the floor...

Since Grandma Gu is getting older, Wei Lan is afraid that something bad will happen to her.

“It’s nothing serious, just rest and rest.” Grandma Gu laughed, her voice hoarse much softer than usual.

Knowing that Wei Lan was worried, Grandma Gu changed the subject and asked, "Where is Brother Chao? You didn't hear any noise last night. Did you come back?"

“I went out to dig trenches yesterday afternoon. I said I had something to do at night. I’ll probably be back today.”

Wei Lan lowered his head and pursed his lips. He was afraid that Grandma Gu would be worried and didn't tell the truth.

Grandma Gu knew Gu Chao well and knew that Gu Chao was a measured person, so she no longer worried. Instead, she advised Wei Lan to go about her own business and let You Lan stay in the room and pour her a glass of water from time to time.

Grandma Gu kept insisting, so Wei Lan had no choice but to comply.

Wei Lan went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water and put it into the teapot. He also washed the enamel pot and put it on the dressing table in Grandma Gu's room.

Wei Lan told Youlan, "I put the water and cups here. If grandma is thirsty, remember to pour water."

"Got it!" You Lan nodded hastily. She had climbed onto the bed and was lying on her stomach. Now a carp jumped out of the bed and pushed Wei Lan out with her bare feet. "I will take good care of grandma!"

Grandma Gu and You Lan both had the habit of taking naps, so Wei Lan did not bother or beat them, locked the courtyard door, and went back to her room.

Wei Lan took out the textbook, wrote and drew, and divided some key points separately.

Gu Chao is very smart. He can understand half of the knowledge points circled by Wei Lan with just a few reminders. After she applies a few more question types, Gu Chao will be able to understand them thoroughly.

Sometimes his mind even spins faster than Wei Lan's, and sometimes he deliberately stumbles and gets Wei Lan into the question for a long time.

When he thought of Gu Chao, Wei Lan put down his pen, rested his chin on his hands, looked at the swaying bamboo shadows outside the window, and cursed secretly.

 But after I finished cursing, I felt uneasy and couldn't help but start to worry.

It’s been so long, why haven’t you come back yet?

 Is it because he's afraid that she won't be able to settle a score with him? "Smelly Gu Chao, this is all you have? If you had known better, what would you have done?"

Wei Lan murmured in a low voice, determined to wait for Gu Chao to come back.

 Brother Shao and Sister Han took turns crying last night. Wei Lan was always a light sleeper, and she slept even more restlessly on the rocking chair at Gu Yang's house.

 As soon as the two little ones started to moan, she opened her eyes and helped Fangxia change diapers and breastfeed.

Without a good night's rest, Wei Lan held her chin up for a while, tilted her head, and fell asleep on the table.

 When he woke up again, the setting sun filled the sky outside the window. Wei Lan frowned slightly, and a long-lost sense of loss came to his heart.

Wei Lan calmed down for a while, then twisted his neck that was stiff from sleep twice, opened the door, and walked towards Gu Chao's room.

She stood quietly in front of Gu Chao's door for a moment, then slowly opened the door

The room was silent, with the afterglow of the setting sun spreading all over the floor, and the quilts on the bed neatly folded.

　　　Gu Chao stayed for two days and one night, but did not return.

Grandma Gu's complexion improved and she had already started making dinner. Wei Lan went back to her room to lie down on the pretext that she wasn't hungry.

The breeze outside the window rustled the treetops, and it was clear that I had not slept enough just now, but now I couldn't fall asleep again.

Wei Lan rolled up the blanket, half of her face buried in the blanket, and the eyes on half of her face were looking out the window.

How I hope that Gu Chao's face will appear outside the window at this time like that day.

 But, no.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh…"

 In the dimly lit small room, Wei Lan held the infant baby in his arms and swayed back and forth.
