Chapter 1373 Even if We Can’t Be Lovers

Originally, the atmosphere that had become a bit tense because of Bai Yiyi's rejection of Gu Kai was relieved a little by Tongtong's cute behavior.

Wen Ran also smiled and said, "Tongtong is becoming more and more sensible and filial. One by one, you can see that Tongtong is considerate."

Bai Yiyi lowered his eyes, and when he looked at Tongtong, the unnaturalness in his eyes slowly dissipated, and was replaced by the gentle motherly love that appeared in his eyes. The tenderness he showed towards Tongtong was unconsciously and unknowingly. It takes deliberateness.

She ate the egg custard fed by Tongtong, and a gentle smile appeared on Qingli's cheeks, "Thank you, Tongtong."

"Giggle, mommy ate it."

When Tongtong saw Bai eating the egg custard she fed him one by one, she was so happy that she just clapped her hands and turned to look at Gu Kai. Her smiling eyes curved into crescents, which was indescribably cute.

Gu Kai was not angry because of what Bai Yiyi said just now. He had smooth eyebrows and a gentle temperament. When he heard Tongtong's happy words, he smiled, picked up a piece of steamed meat and put it into Tongtong's bowl as a reward: "Tongtong Eat more and grow up quickly so you can take care of your mother."

Bai Yiyi frowned slightly, feeling a little depressed.

Gu Kai clearly resented her mother's involvement in what happened that year, and thought of her as a vicious woman. However, he acted calmly and did not resent her.

She knew that he was deliberately pretending to be generous to make her feel guilty.

Next to her, Tongtong looked happy, and she didn't know what her mother was thinking. She only knew that her mother had returned after being away for a few days.

Dad said, don't let mom leave again.

She simply thought that if she was nicer to her mother, her mother would never leave her again.

So he scooped another spoonful of egg custard and fed it to Bai Yiyi's mouth with a smile, "Mom, eat the eggs."

"Tongtong, mom, eat by yourself. You should eat your food quickly. My brothers and sisters are eating seriously, so you should also eat quickly."

Bai Yiyi felt warm and sour in her heart. The more sensible Tongtong became, the more conflicted she became.

As soon as he put down his chopsticks, Gu Kai received a call from Fang Zhiwei.

Seeing the caller ID, Gu Kai's eyes flashed with something strange, he pressed the answer button and said "hello" lightly.

Get up, walk out of the dining room, and go to the living room to answer the phone.

"Akai, come back to the hospital quickly, my dad..."

Fang Zhiwei's voice came anxiously. Gu Kai's handsome face changed when he heard it, and his facial features became serious for a moment, "Okay, I'll go back right away."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Kai immediately dialed his father Gu Yan's number.

In the restaurant, Wen Ran and Bai Yiyi were slightly startled when they heard Gu Kai's serious tone.

Two minutes later, Gu Kai returned to the restaurant. Before he could speak, Wen Ran asked, "Brother, did something happen in the hospital?"

"Well, he is a patient. I have to rush back to the hospital now. However, you will accompany Bai Yi to the police station later."

"okay."

Wen Ran nodded, Gu Kai glanced at Bai Yiyi, turned around, and strode away.

"Of course, I can just go to the police station by myself. You can stay and take care of Ziyi and the others. You don't have to accompany me."

After eating, Bai Yiyi, Wen Ran and others moved to the living room. Tongtong, Ziyi, Momo and Xinxin grabbed a sofa and had fun.

Wen Ran smiled nonchalantly, "Momo and the others are being watched by an aunt, and my brother has given orders. If I don't accompany you to the police station, he should say that I don't listen to him."

A trace of emotion flashed through Bai Yi's eyes, he pursed his lips and said softly, "Of course, if it were before, I would not refuse you to accompany me. But now, I don't want to trouble you anymore. You should also know that I will go to the police." The Bureau is here to pick up my mother."

Speaking of her mother, Bai Yiyi's tone was slightly stiff.

Her mother hated Wen Ran and Gu Kai's mother, and she didn't even know it before.

What she couldn't accept the most was that she always thought that her mother was a kind-hearted woman who gave silently without asking for anything in return. The reason why her life was miserable was because she fell in love with a man she shouldn't love.

She didn't even know how her mother and Fu Jingyi had her, so she put all the responsibilities on Fu Jingyi. She blamed and hated her.

"Yiyi, I know."

There was a little pity in Wen Ran's eyes. She really regarded Bai Yiyi as a friend, and it had nothing to do with her identity.

It was like she and Bai Xiaoxiao were the closest sisters. When they first met An Lin and Bai Xiaoxiao, they wanted to make friends with her, and even Jing Xiaocha, whom they met some time ago.

She liked all of them.

Her voice was very soft, and her eyes were very gentle, "Yiyi, if I said I didn't care at all about Aunt Bai's participation back then, I would be lying to you."

A deep apology appeared on Bai Yiyi's face.

She was very grateful to Wen Ran in her heart, really grateful. Her parents hurt her like that, but she could treat her as a friend.

"I'm sorry, Ran Ran."

Even though Bai Yiyi knows how to say sorry eleven thousand times, she can't turn back time and stop her parents from hurting Ranran.

But she still wanted to say sorry.

Wen Ran smiled gently at her and said softly, "Yiyi, don't blame my brother. If he didn't like you, he wouldn't be unable to accept it. Don't say that he just confessed to you, you are lovers. , even I felt angry when I heard Aunt Bai talk about what happened back then."

"Of course, I didn't blame him, really."

Bai Yiyi lowered his eyes, covering up the emotions in his eyes.

She pursed her lips slightly and crossed her hands in front of her, "If I blamed him, I wouldn't leave Tongtong to him. In fact, I have no face to face you. My parents not only hurt you and Gu Kai , and also hurt Uncle Gu, and your mother died early because of this."

Bai Yiyi was really sad, just like Wen Ran said, because she liked Gu Kai.

I like it very much.

She hadn't realized that her feelings for Gu Kai were so deep before, or maybe she had known subconsciously that she had fallen in love with that man.

But out of rationality, she had been restraining her feelings for him and was unwilling to admit it.

"Yiyi, those things were not your fault. I used to think so, and I still think so now. I hated your father, very much, but I never blamed you. Even Aunt Bai told me that she Was involved in that as well.”

Wen Ran felt that she needed to talk to Bai Yiyi and make it clear what she should say.

Don't let Bai Yiyi feel burdened.

If possible, she still hopes that Bai Yiyi and her brother can continue on.

Bai Yiyi didn't make a sound, just listened to Wen Ran's words quietly, and his crossed fingers became tighter.

"At that time, you were just a little girl, and you couldn't control anything... Yiyi, I don't know if there is still a possibility for you and my brother, but no matter what, you are Tongtong's parents, even if we can't be lovers, We can still be friends.”

When Wen Ran said this, he looked at Bai Yiyi with gentle eyes, observing the subtle changes in her expression.
