Chapter 281 I am a mother
At the same time, in the Gu family manor.
After Gu Ranle and Li Xiuneng walked around the yard after dinner, she pushed Li Xiuneng back to the room.
"It's getting late, let me wash you up and you can go to bed."
"Baby, it's still early. I'm not sleepy now. I don't want to sleep."
"If you are not sleepy, just lie down in bed and think for a while and you will feel sleepy. Sufficient sleep will help your body recover."
After saying that, Gu Ranle didn't give Li Xiuneng a chance to refute. She went straight to run the bath water, carried him to the bathroom, and put him in the bathtub.
Li Xiuneng thought, it would be okay to take a bath, but I wouldn’t have to do that for a while since I was already sitting in the bathtub anyway.
Unexpectedly, less than two minutes after he sat down, Gu Ranle brought out another bath towel and threw it on his bed.
She covered herself with the quilt, turned off the light, and went out.
The whole process went smoothly and in one go.
By the time Li Xiu Neng reacted, she had already reached the bedroom upstairs.
The reason why she was so perfunctory to Li Xiuneng was because she was planning to go out for a while.
It’s so late and the old man hasn’t come back yet. She is worried and wants to go check on him.
After going upstairs to change into light clothes, Gu Ranle hurried downstairs.
When I looked up, I saw a figure sitting at the door.
"Li Xiuneng?" Gu Ranle frowned, with a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction in his tone, "Weren't you already lying on the bed ready to sleep? Why are you up again?"
After asking this question, she didn't wait for Li Xiu Neng to answer, and immediately asked: "No, that's not right, how did you get up? Who got you up?"
Li Xiuneng shook the phone in his hand and said slowly, "My master gave me a task when he left. He said you can't go anywhere. The bodyguards in the courtyard are temporarily under my charge."
When Gu Ranle heard this, he was speechless and choked with anger.
She gritted her teeth and pressed, "When did I tell you? How come I didn't know anything about it?"
Li Xiuneng proudly held up his phone and waved it in front of her. "This is the message I sent you. If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself."
Gu Ranle snatched the phone and looked at it carefully. The time showed that the old man sent a message to Li Xiuneng shortly after he left the house.
"This old man is really too much!" Gu Ranle couldn't help but complain, "It would be fine if he just went out by himself, but he even asked someone to watch over me and not let me go out."
She sneered and said sarcastically: "You two have a good relationship now. He trusts you very much."
"It's okay. The main thing is that I think I can be trusted." Li Xiuneng had a smug look on his face, and that look made people hate him so much.
Gu Ranle really wanted to slap him so hard that he fainted. This could make him so arrogant.
She looked up at the bodyguards she had personally chosen standing outside the door and sighed helplessly.
Alas, at the critical moment, no one can be relied upon.
It seems that I will have to train a few reliable bodyguards myself in the future.
She threw the phone back to Li Xiuneng, turned around and walked upstairs.
"Bao, are you angry?" Li Xiuneng asked cautiously behind him.
Gu Ranle rolled her eyes and didn't even bother to pay attention to him.
She went straight to the study and locked the door with a bang, telling Li Xiuneng with her actions that she was really angry this time.
Sure enough, not long after, the bodyguard moved Li Xiuneng upstairs.
Li Xiuneng came to the door of the study and knocked gently. After knocking for a long time, there was no movement from inside.
Gu Ranle had been busy in the study for nearly two hours, and she had completely forgotten about Li Xiuneng who was outside the door.
When she finally finished her work, she opened the study door while yawning, and suddenly saw a person standing outside the door. She was so scared that she almost screamed.
She looked closely and saw that it was Li Xiuneng. She couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here?"
Apparently, she had completely forgotten that two hours ago, she was stopped by him when she went downstairs, and then she angrily hid in the study, and she didn't open the door out of spite when he knocked on it.
"Baby, I've been waiting for you here." Li Xiuneng said pitifully with a face full of grievance.
Gu Ranle rolled her eyes at him fiercely and said unhappily, "Wait for me? I think you're just here to watch me!"
Li Xiuneng quickly reached out and held her hand, saying in a flattering manner, "Baby, I really have no choice. How dare I not complete the task assigned by my master? My master doesn't like me very much. If I can't do such a small thing, he will definitely look down on me even more. I know I have wronged you, I am really sorry, why don't you kick me a few times to vent your anger."
Gu Ranle glanced at him sideways and said disdainfully, "With your body, you can't even withstand a kick from me."
Li Xiuneng was suddenly speechless, and kept wondering in his heart: Don’t I have any self-respect or shame?
He took a deep breath, straightened his chest, and said righteously: "It's okay, just kick me, as long as you can vent your anger. If you really kick me to death, I deserve it."
Gu Ranle yawned loudly and said sleepily, "Go to bed and stop bothering me here. I'm too sleepy."
After saying that, she walked straight to the bedroom and locked the door with a bang.
Li Xiuneng was locked outside the door again, feeling extremely depressed.
He slammed the door hard and shouted, "Bao, I can't go downstairs by myself."
A few seconds later, the door creaked open. Gu Ranle stood at the door, looking at him with a half-smile, and said, "The old man has given you the command of the bodyguards in this courtyard, and you still can't go downstairs?"
After saying that, she slammed the door shut again, leaving Li Xiuneng alone staring outside the door.
After a simple wash, Gu Ranle fell on the bed and fell asleep soon.
She always had a hunch that she would return to the world of books again.
But the strange thing is that this time there was no time travel like before.
She felt like she was dreaming, but this dream was different from her usual dreams.
Once again, she came to the endlessly empty room.
There was silence all around, and she was still alone.
She shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice echoing in the empty room, but she received no response.
She ran in different directions, but no matter how far she ran, she could not see the end.
"Where exactly is this place?" Gu Ranle was full of doubts and talked to himself loudly.
"Why am I here?"
She frowned, trying to find the answer.
The last time she came to this place, she had just experienced the death of her grandfather, and her heart was filled with extreme sadness and fear.
After adjusting over the past few days, her emotions have calmed down a lot and she is not as scared anymore.
So when she came here again, her mentality had changed and she was no longer as anxious as last time.
She stood there quietly, looking at the endless emptiness around her, and her heart gradually calmed down.
Suddenly, something strange happened!
As her mood changed, the space here also began to change.
Gradually, something appeared around the empty area.
This is a room full of technology, with all kinds of flashing instruments and lines, making it look mysterious and advanced.
She saw a woman lying on a bed. Her belly was bulging like a small hill, and it seemed that she was about to give birth.
The woman's limbs were fixed tightly to the bed, and she wore a hat full of various tubes on her head. Her eyes were staring blankly at the ceiling, not moving at all.
If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of her chest, proving that she was still breathing, she would have looked no different from dead.
Gu Ranle walked over slowly and stood beside the woman.
The doctor's professional habit made her subconsciously put her hand on the woman's pulse.
The moment her hand touched the woman's skin, the woman's eyes suddenly blinked, and then her eyes turned, focused, and looked at her.
The two looked at each other for more than ten seconds. The woman's cracked lips opened slightly, and after a while she uttered a hoarse voice: "Baby, is that you?"
Gu Ranle frowned and said, "The fetus in your belly is in danger. You must give birth immediately, otherwise both you and him will be in danger."
The woman shook her head slightly and said weakly, "Mom is satisfied to see you grow up."
She held Gu Ranle's hand, her eyes full of love: "Tell mom, have you been doing well these years?"
"You... are my mother?" Gu Ranle was surprised and felt that there was something wrong with this person.
This man looks about the same age as her. Even if her mother is young, it is impossible for her to be only in her twenties.
But this woman looks somewhat like her, with some similarities in her eyebrows and eyes.
The woman forced a gentle smile, looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, then her eyes fell on her bulging belly, and said softly:
"You will be born in half an hour. I was worried about whether you could be born safely and whether your father could successfully send you out. Now that I see you from the future, all my worries are unnecessary. You will definitely be born safely, and your father will definitely send you out successfully. Tell mom, how old are you this year?"
"From the future?"
Gu Ranle muttered to herself, if she hadn't had the experience of traveling through a book before, she would definitely think that the woman in front of her was suffering from delusions.
"Twenty-five." Gu Ranle answered truthfully.
"It turns out that my baby is already 25 years old. How have you been these years?" the woman asked with concern.
Gu Ranle nodded, "Very good."
"Your adoptive parents--" the woman began.
"I don't have adoptive parents, only a grandfather." Gu Ranle said hurriedly.
"Is grandpa good to you?" the woman asked again.
"He loves me as much as his life." Gu Ranle replied.
The woman smiled with relief when she heard this answer. "I'm afraid I won't have the chance to thank him in person. Please thank your grandfather for me."
"What's your name?" Gu Ranle asked.
"Cinian." The woman paused, then continued, "Your father's name is Song Yan."
When hearing these two names, Gu Ranle's first reaction was the first name her grandfather gave her, "Songci".
Her grandfather rescued her from a wild monkey under a big pine tree, so he named her "Songci".
But my great-grandfather said that this name was not suitable as a real name, but it was okay as a nickname.
So later she was named Ranle.
My surname was originally going to be "Pei", my great-grandfather's. But after my grandfather became an apprentice, he changed his surname from "Gu" to "Pei".
But after my grandfather adopted her, my great-grandfather asked my grandfather to change his surname back to his original one, saying that it would also leave a descendant for his Gu family.
Later she was called Gu Ranle.
