Chapter 8 (1/2)
Chapter 8: Turn Around
Gu Yan is very excited. Her father hasn’t seen her for a very long time. She doesn’t know why, but suddenly he had sent someone to pick her up back home.
“Father!”
Gu Bo Yun looks up from thinking about the memories of the past. He sees his small daughter’s hand supported by the side of the door, and her glittering pair of eyes. For a moment, her sweet smile lets him consideringly think that more than 20 years ago, that white clothed, black hair girl seemed to overcome a time of life and death before appearing in front of him.
He sighs, and smiles, “sit.”
Gu Yan cutely sits on the sofa, “Where is sister?”
“She is always running around tending to stuff.”
Gu Bo Yun appears to be somewhat tired, “I heard, Fang Yi Cheng came back?”
To mention Fang Yi Cheng inside this house made Gu Yan somewhat not knowing what to do, “En.”
“Yan-er, you……go with him.” Gu Bo Yun contemplated for a very long time, and finally said it long and drawn out.
“Father……”, Gu Yan lowly calls. She didn’t think her father would look for her because of Fang Yi Cheng. Furthermore, she would never expect her father would unexpected say this. Although, there is nothing to forgive or not forgive to speak of, but, he truly doesn’t blame Fang Yi Cheng?
Gu Bo Yun stands in front of the window with his back facing his daughter, “I thought for so many years. In the end, these are all my fault. In this lifetime, I have already let down your mother. I hope, you will live an easier life.”
The tears appear in her eyes. The memories of her younger times, once mentioned, she felt heartbroken to the point of breaking. She leaves with Fang Yi Cheng, then……what about him? Will he live easier? –But, I’m fine right now.
Gu Yan’s tears start to come out, sliding down her delicate young face, “Father, Fang Yi Cheng and I, will never have any more interactions. Aunty Ruan……I made a mistake. A mistake is a mistake. Then again, I am fine now.”
“Last night, I dreamed about your mother.” Gu Bo Yun’s face showing a rare bit of tenderness, as if even this way of recalling that woman is a blessing, “She blames me. She said I did not properly take care of you.”

“I woke up in the middle of the night, unable to sleep anymore. I thought about all these years, and how I didn’t properly take care the people at my side. Ming Zhu, all day long, she is trying to make a living like a boy, and you……” C city’s generation ambitious and ruthless Gu Bo Yun, unexpectedly choke with emotion, “Xiao (little) Yan, I am a bit stubborn. These past years, I have wronged you.”
Gu Yan’s tear gushes out. Ever since Aunty Ruan left, father has never with a harmoniously voice talk with me like this
The touching scene was interrupted by the housekeeper. Calmly creasing his eyebrows, “Lao Ye, Mr. Xiao Liang came. He said he wants to come up.”
Wants to come up? What does he mean! Gu Bo Yun glimpses at his daughter, and sighs. He was not prepared to argue with that youngster, “Yan-er, why don’t you go down. Carefully think about the words I’ve said.”
Gu Yan shakes her head, “Father, I am here to spend time with you today.” She does not want to think about that unfathomable mysterious man.
Gu Bo Yun smiles, there is a rock to every scissor (idiom: every item has a weakness). Brother Tian, that guy’s arrogant son. Only my small daughter has the ability to subdue him.
“Go back okay. Father is tired. Perhaps another day .”
Gu Yan bites her lips, and went out.
Both of Liang Fei Fan’s hands were inserted in his pocket. He was waiting on top of the stairs with a face of anxiousness. Unable to remain calm and really wanting to rush up, he sees Gu Yan come down very slowly.
He advances a step and block, “What happened?” d.a.m.n it, he made her cry!
