Chapter 217: Chapter 137: A Lion Can Never Be Tamed into a Sheep

Gu Qingchen’s hands embraced her slender waist from behind, and in the full-length mirror, reflected his tall and well-built body, impeccably dressed.

Also in his embrace, leaning against him, she wore nothing but a cotton dress and a set of white undergarments.

Gu Qingchen was originally by the door, but he walked over uncontrollably and took her into his arms.

Undeniably, a possessive desire was slowly rising in his heart.

Tang Baijin’s persistence for her was something that Gu Qingchen naturally would not allow any chance for old flames to reignite between them.

"The children also hope we’ll be together," Gu Qingchen’s voice fell in her ear.

Bei Ran smiled softly, remaining silent.

Gu Qingchen reached out, spun her around to face him, "Don’t you want us to be together?"

"Not at all," Bei Ran spoke the truth; she wanted to be together too.

But that was just a dream.

She understood the gap between dreams and reality, thus, she accepted life, an acceptance of a life that was almost cruel.

Gu Qingchen gazed at her, his eyes deep like the sea: "How long will you love me?"

At that moment, Bei Ran looked up at him, and smiled lightly: "I will love you until the day you stop loving me!"

This statement was profoundly meaningful!

She could love him, or she could stop loving him!

Although love does not adhere to principles of equality, or that effort will be reciprocated, she would only love him up until the day he loves her!

If one day he stops loving her, she will also stop loving him!

"Little thing, playing word games with me!" Gu Qingchen affectionately pinched her cheeks.

Bei Ran’s lips curled into a smile!

She didn’t want to argue with him; in their four years of marriage, they hardly ever fought. They were a model couple, both masters in their own right, skilled enough to know when to stop in a contest.

Yes, just playing word games!

She was willing to love him! As for how long?

She will love him as long as he loves her!

If he stops loving her, she will do the same!

Since they both knew it well, why bother piercing the surface and talking openly about it!

About the children, neither she could let go nor could he.

Perhaps today, since Gu Qingchen just recognized his eldest child, he felt good and did not continue to discuss this issue.

He let go of her slender waist: "I’m going to check on the kids!"

"Okay!" Bei Ran put on the cotton home dress.

Gu Qingchen went to the doorway, then suddenly turned back, saying to her: "Little lion, I’ve never taken you for a sheep!"

He knew she was a little lion!

Always had been!

Even if she was obedient and gentle in front of him, that was just a facade.

Because he understood that no matter how tamed a lion was, it could never become a sheep.

Bei Ran straightened her dress, lifted her head, and gave him a charming smile: "I consider myself to be an exceedingly docile little sheep!"

Having said that, she walked towards him!

"Let’s go, let’s check on the kids together!" Bei Ran suggested.

Gu Qingchen watched her, his eyes deepening with meaning; whether she was a little lion or a sheep, either way, her mouth was certainly likable.

The two of them went to the children’s room together, finding both kids soaked through, still frolicking about in the bath.

The kids loved playing with water, and in their spacious home, they had the freedom to play to their hearts’ content.

At that moment, the little fish sneezed!

"Alright, no more playing!" Bei Ran stepped forward and said, "Bath time is over, time to sleep, it’s already very late!"

The little fish obediently let her mother wash her, and she was lifted out of the bath by Bei Ran, "Mommy, are we four sleeping together tonight?"

Bei Ran dried her hair and put on her pajamas, "Daddy will tell you a story first, mommy is going to bathe your big fish!"

Little Fish burrowed into Gu Qingchen’s arms: "Daddy, I love hearing your stories the most..."

Gu Qingchen hugged her, letting her rest against his chest, "Today we are talking about Lin Chong, the martial arts coach of the 800,000 imperial guards in Tokyo, a man of great integrity and extraordinary martial skills..."

In the bathroom, Bei Ran was bathing Big Fish, who was covered in soap bubbles: "Mom, I can wash myself now!"

"Still afraid of looking silly!" Bei Ran laughed, "When you were little, it was always Mommy who bathed you!"

"I’m grown up now!" Big Fish said with a laugh.

Bei Ran looked at him intently; she had never let him go to a place so far away, nor had she let him leave her side for so long, "Are you used to New York?"

"It’s great!" Big Fish said, "Mom, I’ve also learned a lot of English... and Professor Zhong is very professional and treats me very well... I want to go back during the winter holiday!"

"Okay!" Bei Ran prepared to rinse him off.

Big Fish pushed her out: "I can do it myself! Mom you must be tired, go take a bath and then off to sleep!"

So Bei Ran left, and Little Fish was already lying asleep in Gu Qingchen’s arms.

However, Gu Qingchen was still holding her, unwilling to put her down to sleep on her own.

"Asleep already?" Bei Ran walked up to him, "She’s tired today too! Big Fish isn’t even in puberty yet and already doesn’t want me to bathe him!"

"Let him wash by himself!" Gu Qingchen said: "You go take a bath, I’ll watch him, and I’m here if anything happens!"

"Okay!" So Bei Ran went to take a bath.

Hospital.

Waiting outside the emergency room for Tang Baijin to come out, Tian Xin did not expect Tao Yu’en to arrive as well.

Upon hearing that the plane Tang Baijin was on had an accident and he had been taken to the hospital, Tao Yu’en rushed over, and then said to the reception nurse: "My son is the third son of the Tang Family, who is your attending doctor? Call your hospital director here!"

The nurse had no choice but to say: "Madam, in our hospital, every doctor is very dedicated, please wait at ease!"

However, Tao Yu’en was very angry that Tang Baijin had not come out yet: "Why hasn’t he come out yet? Are the doctors inside competent?"

"Madam, please keep quiet!" the nurse helplessly said: "They are currently performing emergency treatment..."

"I already told you to call your hospital director..." Tao Yu’en put on a very arrogant air, speaking loudly and also disturbing other patients.

Tian Xin stared at her, unable to hold back, and said: "What’s wrong with you? The nurses are speaking human language, can’t you understand? Of course, how can a non-human understand human language?"

Meaning, he was implying that Tao Yu’en was an animal!

The nurse, although thankful to Tian Xin for not using foul language to curse, was also completely infuriated Tao Yu’en.

Tao Yu’en rushed at Tian Xin: "I recognize you, you’re Bei Ran’s good friend, last time you put the pumpkin lanterns at my house, I haven’t settled accounts with you yet! And today you dare to curse at someone!"

"I did indeed say some people are worse than animals, but if someone wants to take offense, I can’t help it." Tian Xin spread his hands and then angrily said: "As for the pumpkin lantern incident, the person who did it is shameless, scaring a five-year-old little girl!"

"Slap—" Tao Yu’en slapped Tian Xin’s face.

At this moment, the door to the emergency surgery room burst open, and Yang Junyi, pushing Tang Baijin who was now awake after surgery, came out!

They all witnessed the slap, and Yang Junyi, feeling distressed, was about to speak up.

Tian Xin, without hesitation, "slap" returned the slap!

"You brat dare to hit me!" Tao Yu’en angrily put her hands on her hips, ready to cause a scene.

Tian Xin coldly said: "Whoever hits me, I hit back! Try me again!"

Yang Junyi, worried that Tian Xin would be at a disadvantage, immediately stepped forward to protect her behind him, and said: "Mrs. Tang, Mr. Tang’s surgery was very successful."

Then, he told the nurse: "Take Mr. Tang back to his room to rest."

As soon as Tang Baijin came out of the surgery room, he saw his mother slap Tian Xin, and knowing Tian Xin was a fierce woman, she would definitely not be at a loss.

At that moment, Tian Xin looked at Tang Baijin: "Do you know why you lost to Bei Ran? You lost six years ago! You already lost her six years ago, just because you have such a mother! She personally drove Bei Ran away! If you want to win Bei Ran’s heart, deal with this old witch first!"

"Who are you calling an old witch?" Tao Yu’en was about to hit someone again!

"You!" Tian Xin, always a fiery little pepper, said: "You have no idea how much Tang Baijin loves Bei Ran, yet you plotted against the woman at the core of your son’s heart; you truly don’t deserve to be a mother! You are just an old witch that everyone hates, the one everyone wants to beat when they see you on the streets!"

Although Tian Xin’s rant felt satisfying, including for the doctors and nurses, the administrative department intervened.

Only Tang Baijin, from beginning to end, said nothing.

Having lost Bei Ran, he had long since become disheartened!

Whoever was swearing or fighting, it didn’t matter to him anymore!

Tian Xin stepped out of the hospital, then called Bei Ran: "Ranran, do you know? I just fiercely scolded that old witch! I feel much better now, but I don’t know why, when I see Tang Baijin’s hopeless devotion towards you, when I see his despair in love, I feel somewhat distressed..."
