Su Tao happily accepted this suggestion. Gu Zi was also very happy about this matter and pestered her to tell her a bedtime story. Only Gu Lin was in a state
of shock.
Although the two of them were in a relationship, Su Tao would never stay overnight. This was the first time she had agreed to stay at the Gu residence.
Gu Lin originally wanted to arrange a room for Su Tao, but after she coaxed the child to sleep, she entered Gu Lin’s room. She looked at his stunned expression and smiled. “Don’t tell me you want to leave me in another room. Is there a need for the two of us to sleep in separate rooms?”
These words successfully convinced Gu Lin, so when Gu Jia woke up the next day, he was almost frightened to death. He watched as Su Tao walked out of his brother’s room and even greeted him, “Good morning.”
He subconsciously replied, “Good morning.” Then, he stood rooted to the ground, suspecting that he was still asleep.
Yunbao saw his stunned expression and walked over. “Fifth Uncle, what’s wrong?”
Gu Jia couldn’t say that he was frightened by Su Tao. He bent down and picked up Yunbao. “Fifth Uncle is fine. How about I stay at home and play with
Yunbao for the day?”
Of course, Yunbao was happy. Gu Jia’s personality was the most lively among her uncles. He had unlimited energy to fool around with her. With Gu Jia accompanying her, the two of them could tear down the entire Gu family’s mansion.
The uncle and niece were toying with the poles in the garden. After practicing every day, Yunbao was no longer afraid of them. She could even walk on them as if she was flying without looking down at the wooden poles.
However, the two of them were not training at this moment. Instead, they were jumping around on one foot. If they could not stand steadily, they would
Xiao Jing was shocked when he passed by. He quickly carried his daughter down and said, “Fifth Brother, how can you bring the child to fool around?”
Gu Jia jumped down from the pole and said, “Don’t always protect her too much. I think Yunbao can definitely become a qualified warrior.”
Xiao Jing stroked Yunbao’s head and said, “We don’t expect her to become a female warrior. As long as she’s safe and happy.”
Gu Jia could understand Xiao Jings thoughts as a father, but in his opinion, children had to make their own choices. Although Yunbao was young, she already had her own thoughts. When he chatted with her, he could feel the powerful energy contained in this child. She was firm and bold enough to be responsible for her choices.
Yunbao leaned on Xiao Jings shoulder and said, “Dad, I wanted Fifth Uncle to play with me like this.”
“Yunbao, you’ll get hurt easily if you play like this,” Xiao Jing said worriedly. Yunbao looked at him. “But everyone gets hurt. The books say that only difficulties can make people grow. Our lives won’t always be smooth.”
Of course, Xiao Jing understood this principle, but he could not accept it at all when it came to Yunbao. He could not watch his daughter get injured. In the years when he did not know that Yunbao existed, she had already suffered endless harm. Xiao Jing swore that he would never let his daughter experience such a thing again.
Yunbao could feel Xiao Jings nervousness. She patted his shoulder and said, “Daddy, I’ll protect myself.”
After Xiao Jing left with Yunbao, Gu Jia quickly went to look for Gu Lin and said, “Big Brother, I think Little Sister and Brother-in-law are overprotective of Yunbao. They’re too tense.”
“There’s nothing we can do about it. Dangerous things always happen around Yunbao.” Gu Lin sighed. “The couple experienced some things before they reunited with Yunbao. Naturally, they have to be even more nervous about Yunbao’s safety.”
Gu Jia could only sigh with Gu Lin, hoping that they would not be so nervous in the future. After all, Yunbao was growing up day by day and could not always be by their side.
Xiao Jing was still talking when he placed Yunbao on the bed in the room. “Don’t always run out. If you want to play, you can play with Lily or Gu Zi.
That way, you won’t be injured.”
Yunbao pouted and did not want to listen anymore. She did not want to play with dolls at all.
Seeing Yunbao’s expression, Xiao Jing squatted down and looked at her. “Yunbao, your mother is very worried about you now. If anything happens to you again, she won’t be able to take it.”
Hearing Xiao Jings words, Yunbao could only nod and say, “I’ll remember. I won’t let myself get hurt again.”
Xiao Jing hugged Yunbao happily, but there was no joy on Yunbao’s face. She could agree not to be injured because she did not want her mother to worry, but she did not like her current life at all..
