He looked at Ji Pianran, who was smiling, and at Tang Tang, who was also smiling.
Gu Chen suddenly remembered Tang Tang and Ji Pianran from his previous life.
It was clear that they had both been unhappy, and so had he.
He had lived a whole life, and he wanted to make up for everything. He would never let tragedy happen again. He would protect them, keep them safe, happy and healthy.
He opened his mouth, and his throat rolled.
'Tantan and mommy will be safe and healthy!'
At this moment, Shen Cuizhi walked out of the house.
'Okay, the fireworks are all over, don't stand in the yard, go back inside and get warm.'
After that, she went to find her two grandchildren.
Children don't know what cold means when they're having fun.
We have to keep an eye on them, or they'll catch a cold tonight.
Gu Chen looked at his mother with a smile, 'Mom, it's getting late, we should go back too.'
When they arrived, Gu Chen had planned to go back that night.
After all, their relationship as a couple was a bit special.
Hearing that her son wanted to go back, Shen Cuizhi paused, turned her head, and looked at the three of them with a face full of reluctance.
'What's the point of that? Stay for a day before leaving. You haven't been back for years, and you come back in the morning and leave in the afternoon.'
To be honest, she really didn't want to part with her youngest son and daughter-in-law.
And her adorable little granddaughter.
'There's nowhere for us to stay.'
Gu Chen smiled helplessly.
He knew that his mother didn't want him to leave, but wasn't the reason he and Ji Pianran split up because there was no room at home?
On hearing this, Shen Cuizhi gave him a glare, 'That room of yours, the one you originally lived in!'
Gu Chen originally had a room, it was very small, but if they squeezed in together, they could live there.
On hearing that it was the original room, Gu Chen hesitated.
But he quickly refused.
He was still very happy with the proposal for him and Ji Pianran to squeeze in together, but after all, they had a child.
They couldn't squeeze in with Tangtang.
'Forget it, Mum, let's go back, and come visit you in a couple of days,'
Ji Pianran suddenly said.
Gu Chen's original room had a single bed, just 1.2 metres wide, which was just right for one person.
Tang Tang was never a good sleeper, and the three of them really couldn't squeeze into a single bed.
The couple had just come up with an idea, and Gu Chen followed Ji Pianran's words and nodded.
'Yes, in a couple of days, I'll bring you some groceries, all sold by your son himself, they're fresh.'
Shen Cuizhi gave him a look.
'It's fine, I'm not a child anymore, you're always away, so I just go to your room to sleep when I'm free. The other day, your brother made a mother-and-child bed for me, saying that it's convenient for taking a nap with the baby!'
Good boy, right to the point!
Gu Chen was stunned.
So suddenly, he was going to share a bed with his wife?
I never thought that my mother could set me up once, and she could do it again!
It was a pleasant surprise and I was very excited.
To be honest, Gu Chen didn't really have many thoughts.
After all, he had only been reborn and returned to this world for a week.
And he had hurt her for three whole years.
It might be a bit of a pipe dream to think that he could make up for three years of hurt in just one week.
He just simply wanted to spend time with his wife and child, and even if it was just for an extra hour, it would be bliss for him.
At this moment, Ji Bianran heard the mother-and-child bed, and a delicate face could not help but blush.
She was going to sleep in the same bed as Gu Chen?
Although they were husband and wife, no one knew that in the past three years, apart from the time when they conceived Tangtang, Gu Chen and Ji Bianran had slept completely separately!
Now they were going to sleep together, and no matter how she thought about it, it felt a bit awkward.
Although Gu Chen was being very nice to her now, that was only because of the past few days.
Just a week ago, he gambled with the money he had used to sell his bracelet to buy milk powder for Tangtang!
But she also knew very well that she liked Gu Chen.
Moreover, Gu Chen was her man!
If she refused, in front of her mother-in-law, that would be too much to bear.
Her heart beat faster.
Her heart was racing, and she felt confused.
'Well,'
Ji Pianran blinked, completely at a loss as to what to do, her face a jumbled mess of shyness and confusion.
I don't know if Mum wants to go back, but I don't want to!
I want to play with my two brothers for a bit longer!
The little girl couldn't stop grinning when she heard her grandmother say she wasn't going back.
'Yes, yes, Tangtang wants to play with Brother Xuxu.'
She finished, hugging Ji Pianran's head in a pleading manner, her eyes full of longing as she looked at her mother.
'Mommy, just for one day, just for one day.'
Having her mother's support was not enough, and her daughter also joined in the fun.
Gu Chen's heart was simply overjoyed, but he said nothing.
He still had to respect his daughter-in-law's wishes.
'If you don't want to, we'll go back.'
Although she was his daughter-in-law, Gu Chen did not want to force Ji Pianran.
After all, relationships had to be nurtured, and he knew full well that he had been a real jerk.
Ji Pianran can forgive herself now, and that is already a blessing for him.
He has plenty of time with her, so take it slow!
"Mom, please, please~'
the little girl cooed like a baby.
Looking at her daughter's eager eyes and Gu Chen's concern, Ji Pianran gritted her teeth.
'Fine, then we'll go back tomorrow.'
Back then, she was saved by Shen Cuizhi.
Later, Shen Cuizhi didn't really look after her, but when she thought about it, she was a good mother-in-law.
If she hadn't saved her that day, Ji Pianran really didn't know what her fate would have been.
She couldn't bear to upset Shen Cuizhi during the Chinese New Year, and she couldn't bear to disappoint Tangtang.
Most importantly, she didn't really resist Gu Chen.
It was just that she felt a little embarrassed.
When she heard that they weren't leaving, Tangtang clapped her hands in joy.
Shen Cuizhi's face also revealed a satisfied smile, 'I knew it, our Piran has always been a sensible child.'
'It's the New Year, listen to your mother and stay home for one more day, think of it as spending time with your mother!'
Gu Chen felt like he was dreaming at this moment.
He was nervous and excited.
How could Ji Piran agree so readily?
It seems that she really doesn't dislike him at all, and she should still like him a little bit.
However, he and Ji Pianran had made the same mistake.
The more you like someone, the more you can't help but have a lot of small thoughts.
Plus, their relationship was different from other couples.
Gu Chen didn't know if Ji Pianran liked him because he was Tantan's father and was forced to.
Or if she really liked him again!
However, no matter what, this should be considered a good sign!
He smiled happily at Shen Cuizhi and nodded vigorously.
'Hey, I know, Mom!'
Shen Cuizhi was also overjoyed to hear that they were not leaving, and she turned her face towards the house.
'I'll go and tidy up for you.'
