Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 91 One More Little Brother

Yan Hua is somehow worried. She is afraid what if Gungun changes his mind and wants to be a star when he sees it is funny to make a TV play. She doesn’t want Gungun to be exposed to the public at such a young age.

Though Gungun keeps watching cheerfully, he doesn’t say anything that worries Yan Hua. But when they leave, they are stopped by a man who wears a pair of glasses at the gate of the film and television production base.

“Hello, here is my business card.” The man is very polite. Yan Hua sees on his business card that he is from an advertisement company and his name is Cong Lin.

Cong Lin looks at Gungun and his eyes glisten. “We have an advertisement to shoot with a popular young actress named Xia Ye. Your son is especially suitable. Do you want him to have a try? The remuneration is negotiable, which is up to your decision.”

“Sorry, we are not interested.” Yan Hua twists her head to glance. Why haven’t Fei Ying and Xiaojiu come over yet?

Cong Lin is unwilling to give up. “Since you have come to the movie and TV television production base, you must be very interested in filming, aren’t you? Now there is a chance to let your child participate in filming. If you like, I will discuss it with the director and give you a shot, too!”

Yan Hua wears a gauze mask. Cong Lin only feels that the woman has both a good temperament and a good figure. Judging from the appearance of the child, it is certain that his mother is also good-looking.

“Hua!” Fei Ying comes out with Xiaojiu in her arms. Xiaojiu still wears a costume and has a hairy fox hood on her head.

Gungun also stretches out his hand and touches the fox hood. “Xiaojiu, pretty!”

“Can she wear it back?” Yan Hua also touches it.

Fei Ying answers, “She refuses to take it off, so the director gives it to her.”

Anyway, for the sake of Fei Shan, the director is willing to send them anything, let alone a set of costumes.

“What is this man doing?” Fei Ying looks Cong Lin up and down, and says in a low voice, “I have heard from Fei Shan that there are many cheats at the gate of the film and television production base, who cheat those who want to be stars to shoot bad things.”

Cong Ling is embarrassed. He is not a liar, and who will cheat a little baby to shoot bad things?

However, he just heard this woman mentioned Fei Shan. Are they acquaintances of the best actor?

“Then let’s go quickly!” Yan Hua and Fei Ying whisper to each other and leave Cong Lin.

Cong Lin is left behind alone.

“Originally, he wanted to let Gungun shoot an advertisement!” In the car, Fei Ying listens to Yan Hua and asks Gungun with a smile, “Gungun, don’t you really want to be a star? A star like Xiaojiu?”

Gungun is holding a biscuit to chew. He shakes his head with his mouth full of dregs. “Sleep!”

He deeply remembers that when he lived in Fei Ying’s house, Fei Shan always came back very late and chokingly said how sleepy he was.

“I just don’t want him to do that, either.” Yan Hua wipes Gungun’s mouth. “Besides, Grandpa will not agree.”

As they are about to enter the city, they receive a phone call from Chen Hong. Chen Hong has adopted the child and wants to invite them to dinner. She means to introduce Gungun and Xiaojiu to the child and the children will be playmates in the future.”

“Yes, Hong, why don’t you come to my house tomorrow?” Says Fei Ying, “Children will not so nervous at home.”

Chen Hong naturally agrees. When the phone is hung up, Yan Hua says, “I’ll take the fruit tomorrow.”

“Okay, then I’ll make some cupcakes!”

Yan Hua doesn’t see Lang Ruoxian when she arrives home. A house maid says that he and Lang Li haven’t come out of the study all afternoon. Yan Hua thinks that they must be talking about the company. She is about to go upstairs when she sees Lang Hongyue come in on high heels, whose face is full of joy.

“I hear that Ruoxian leaves the hospital?” Lang Hongyue touches Gungun’s little head and puts down a big bag. “Gungun, these are the toys I bought for you.”

Gungun slides from Yan Hua’s arms to ground. He opens the bag to have a look and seems to like it very much. He immediately smiles at Lang Hongyue cutely and makes bows with hands folded in front.

“Who did he learn this from?” Lang Hongyue criticizes dissatisfiedly, “How can he make bows with hands folded in front as he is a child of Lang Family! Yan Hua, how did you teach him?”

Yan Hua doesn’t think it serious for Gungun is only a little child! She smiles and answers, “I have taken him to the movie and TV production base with Fei Ying today to watch shooting. I guess he learned this from someone there and he will forget it in a few days.”

“By the way, Grandpa says he is coming. Does Auntie know it?”

Lang Hongyue is taken aback, for she really doesn’t know it.

“If he wants to come, just come here!” She says grumpily, “I shall go to the study.”

Yan Hua takes Gungun’s hand to go upstairs. Gungun still drags the big bag. There is a big robot inside, which looks very advanced. After returning to the bedroom, Yan Hua finds that the robot is an intelligent one, which can be input some simple instructions to sing and tell stories.

Gungun likes it very much and holds it all night.

The next morning, Yan Hua wants to take Gungun to the supermarket to buy some fruits. When she goes downstairs, she looks at the dining-room specially, but no one is there.

“Has nobody eaten breakfast today?” She asks, acting in a casual manner.

A house maid says that Lang Li and his wife came downstairs to eat, and Lang Ruoxian’s breakfast was delivered to the room. Yan Hua thinks about it, then holds Gungun back to the second floor.

“Gungun, knock at the door and go in to see if Uncle is sleeping.”

Gungun runs past, knocks twice, then pushes open the door and goes in.

“...” Yan Hua waits for a while, but it is all quiet inside.

She pauses and ponders, finally makes up her mind to push the door open and enters. She sees Gungun sitting on Lang Ruoxian’s lap and jabbering at the computer, but she doesn’t know what he is talking about.

“Gungun.” Yan Hua deliberately walks over with a straight face, “How do you... Grandpa?”

The computer screen is in the process of a video chat with Lang Cha, who sees Yan Hua and waves at her. “Hua, I’ll be there tomorrow.”

“Great!” Yan Hua hurriedly smiles, “Gungun has been looking forward to your coming.”

Gungun claps his hands. “Great-grandpa! Come on. Play with Gungun!”

“Okay, great-grandpa will go to play with Gungun tomorrow. Goodbye.” The video chat is over and Yan Hua secretly watches Lang Ruoxian.

He seems to be in good spirits, leaning against the headboard.

“How do you feel?” Yan Hua asks, touching the wheelchair beside the bed. “Do you want me to take you downstairs?”

Lang Ruoxian nods and answers, “Yes, please.”

Yan Hua helps him sit in the wheelchair. Because her arm is around Lang Ruoxian’s waist, and their faces suddenly come close. Lang Ruoxian lowers his head to looks at Yan Hua’s pink earlobe. He opens his mouth and takes a bite.

“Ah!” Yan Hua lets out a cry and almost pushes him away. “What are you doing?”

Her face is red and her ears are red too. She stares at Lang Ruoxian, but her eyes look watery.

“I can’t help it.” Lang Ruoxian seats himself in the wheelchair and rubs the back of Yan Hua’s hand. “I can’t control my love towards you.”

Yan Hua draws back her hand, holds Gungun up and leaves.

“Uncle!” Gungun is a very helpful teammate, who is reaching out for Lang Ruoxian.

Yan Hua has no way out but to put Gungun down and runs downstairs to call Uncle Lee for help. Uncle Lee and several bodyguards carry Lang Ruoxian downstairs. Lang Ruoxian watch Yan Hua and Gungun walk to the gate. Then Gungun runs back to pull him.

“Uncle! Go! Find Xiaojiu to play.”

Lang Ruoxian wants to go, but he is now a weak patient.

“Gungun, you go with your mother. You must protect your mother and keep strange people away from her, okay?”

Little Gungun doesn’t understand his meaning at all, but he nods fiercely and answers, “I see!”

When Yan Hua and Gungun arrive at Fei Ying’s house, Chen Hong has already been there.

“Is this that child?” Yan Hua asks in a low voice. In the sitting room, Xiaojiu is talking to a little boy who is half a head taller than her.

The child is very thin, with fair skin, but his eyes are dull and glassy, even timid.

“Now at least he looks clean. When I first saw him, he was not so good as a little beggar.” Chen Hong sighs, “He is a very sensible child.”

Gungun has run past to watch the new little brother curiously.

“Come!” Fei Ying calls the three little children over and says, “Let’s introduce ourselves. Gungun and Xiaojiu, you two make self-introduction first, just like what you did in the parent-child education class.”

Xiaojiu raises her hand. “I am Xiaojiu. I am two and a half years old!”

“I am Gungun!” Gungun also raises his little chubby hand. “I... I... I am going to be two years old!”

Then the two little children look at the child brought by Chen Hong.

The child is obviously frightened, for he hunches over and doesn’t dare to say a word.

“Can you tell your younger brother and sister your new name?” Chen Hong squats down beside him. “Mom has told you your name. What is your name from now on?”

The boy looks at Chen Hong. He doesn’t quite understand why he suddenly changes his name and changes his mother. But this mother is very kind to him. She allows him to live in a big house, eat meat and dress clean clothes.

“I... my name is...” The little boy stammers, “My name is Chen... Chen Mingxi. I... I am five years old.”

Yan Hua and Fei Ying clap their hands immediately. “That’s great, Mingxi, isn’t it? We are your aunts. You just call us aunties. We and your mother are very good friends!”

Mingxi looks at Chen Hong and Chen Hong looks at him with encouragement. The little boy timidly greets the two aunties.

“Good boy!” Yan Hua puts the cut mango on the table and hands him a small fork. “Come on. Eat the fruit!”

Gungun and Xiaojiu gather around him and the three little children look at each other when they eat the fruit. At first, Mingxi is very nervous and restrained. After the meal, he feels much relaxed. He can sit and play with Xiaojiu and Gungun together.

“This is much better than what I thought.” Yan Hua, Fei Ying and Chen Hong sit in the living room and watch the children play. “Take good care of him later. The child is so young that he will forget his miserable past in a few years.”

Chen Hong looks at Mingxi with special kindness. “Well, he will be my son in the future. We two will stick together and help each other in difficulties.”

“Hua, look at what Hong is now. She is not as tough as the iron lady, but as loving as an old hen!” Fei Ying jokingly says to Chen Hong. “Hong, when you have a son, you have hope. There is still a long way to go.”

Chen Hong wipes away her tears. “I should thank you for inviting me to join the foundation. Otherwise I will not meet Mingxi. He is named Mingxi because I hope that his tomorrow will be full of hope and his miserable past will be forgotten.”

“Yes, he will!” Yan Hua pats Chen Hong’s hand. “Everything will be all right because you love him so much.”

Perhaps children are always willing to play with those children who are older than themselves. Xiaojiu and Gungun soon establish a deep friendship with Mingxi.

Mingxi, who is three years older than them, has never played with other children before, so he is willing to play with Gungun and Xiaojiu though they are younger than himself. The three children have always been together and can play together no matter what they play.

“Brother Mingxi, would you like to live in my home?” Xiaojiu particularly likes Mingxi. Suddenly there is an elder brother, who needn’t to be humored or taken care of. Therefore, she doesn’t want to leave Mingxi at all.
