Chapter 26 - A Husbands Embrace (2/2)

“I believe you. There may be some misunderstandings.”

Realizing that the teacher trusted him, Hao Ziyue’s tears continuously streamed down his face, and his inner barrier completely broke down.

“At home, mom and dad never cared about me, and they also don’t come to my school activities. I don’t know what to do, and I don’t want to bully them, but….no one really wants to play with me…”

“The teacher will help you solve this problem. You have to believe the teacher. Just promise me that you won’t be rough on anyone in the future. Can you?”

Yi Ran comforted Hao Ziyue for a while. Then, Gu Tingchuan arrived in front of them and looked at her with the corners of his mouth slightly tilted. “It’s almost time to go.”

“Hao Ziyue, the teacher is going to see Jia Jia now. We will apologize to her when we see her next time. The teacher will help you. We will solve this accident correctly. Alright? ”

Hao Zi nodded. Yi Ran still couldn’t help but worry about him so she called Guan Yilu to come to watched over him.

When she raised her head, she unexpectedly saw strip of light illuminating the outlines of the man in front of her. His shirt was slightly opened, revealing the graceful lines of his clavicle.

Gu Tingchuan’s eyes were undecipherable, yet still piercing and bright. It seemed that there was no part of his aspects that was wasted. From appearance to talents, he truly received the best of Heaven’s will.

……

It took about ten minutes by car to reach their destination. Yi Ran was anxious throughout the whole journey to the pediatric clinic at the hospital.

Yao Juan was already waiting for them in the hallway. Seeing their arrival, a smile appeared on his face, and he sighed. “The doctor had already taken Jia Jia to the cleaning room. The back of her head required three stitches, and they had just finished so she is currently resting…. Fortunately, it’s just a minor trauma. ”

Yi Ran walked to the bench where the girl was sitting. Jia Jia’s cry was very loud, saying, “Mom, it hurts. It hurts…”

Yi Ran’s tongue had a faint taste of bitterness, and the soreness of her heart couldn’t be clearly expressed. She couldn’t help but somewhat blame herself for this matter.

She wasn’t strong enough and couldn’t do anything by herself. When faced with evil forces, she couldn’t even do anything with her own bare hands.

She appeased Jia Jia and talked to her parents again. Then she saw the empty mineral water bottle in their hands and said, “Do you want to drink water? There is a vending machine outside. I’ll buy it for you. Just wait. ”

Despite their polite assertions otherwise, Yi Ran quickly turned to buy water for them. Gu Tingchuan followed a few steps after her and patted her on the shoulder. “I’ll go with you. ”

Yi Ran walked to the front of the vending machine, bowed her head, and gently covered her face with her hands. Although the face was silent, there seemed to be a crack in her heart.

Gu Tingchuan saw her in this state, and after some careful considerations, there was also a pinching sensation in his heart. After purchasing the water, he stopped to look at her and slowly said, “You can lean on your husband’s chest.”

After hearing this sentence, Yi Ran’s heart fiercely shuddered. With her head still lowered, she wanted to smile and pretend to be fine. Unexpectedly, Gu Tingchuan reached out and pulled her into his arms. She could only accept this embrace.

If Hao Ziyue had been educated earlier, perhaps today’s tragedy would not have happened. She felt really sorry toward Jia Jia, making her blame herself all the more. All kinds of complicated emotions were intertwined, and her whole heart was in a state of disorder.

It was rare Gu Tingchuan to be emotionally moved in this way.

If an actress was sad on set, he would only say, “You are being unsightly.”

But now, he took Yi Ran into his arms silently, and he could feel her tightly clutching at the clothes on his chest, her fingertips pressed hard together. He could even feel her warmth seeping into him through his clothes.

She lay all her sadness out in front of him, no longer hiding anything.

“I’m really useless…What kind of teacher am I….”

Gu Tingchuan comforted her in a low voice, each word was lyrical, sounding deeply moving to the fragility in Yi Ran’s heart. “You have done so well. You’re someone that people can believe in.”

He placed his fingers on the back of her neck. His small hand movements felt both strong and reliable as he slowly held her in the palm of his hand and against his heart. “And, you never let me down.”

The light outside filtered in through the window and shine on them, adding a bit of softness and haziness to their figures. With her mood stabilized, she was no longer so pessimistic. Only, her eyes looked as if they had been washed with rain, exuding a dazzling clarity.

Gu Tingchuan’s soft chuckle was loud in her ear, and his every words echoed in the depths of her heart. “Soft bones, soft body, soft heart, but still putting on a strong appearance with teeth.”

Yi Ran’s cheeks flushed and she dared not raise her eyes to look at the other party’s face. Taking the water bottle from him, she turned to go back.

Just now, his embrace was so irresistible, his breath lingering on the side of her neck, his arms wrapping around all her soft parts, making her feel very much at ease. This seemed to be the first time…

Looking up, she found that Yao Juan was standing by the corner, looking at them with some embarrassment.

Just now, he had looked at the young couple from a distance, hugging and whispering intimately, and realized that there was really no room for him.

Yao Juan pushed his glasses up and tried to ignore Gu Tingchuan’s gaze. He directly said to Yi Ran, “Jia Jia’s parents wanted to speak to Hao Ziyue’s parents on Monday. They also wanted due compensation, despite knowing that they might meet the same fate as last time, with that family whose son had received a broken leg and hand.”

Before Yi Ran could speak, she heard Gu Tingchuan make a rare comment, “Next week, I’ll have my assistant call Hao Ziyue’s mother.”

Yao Juan seemed to disagree with his way of handling matters. Facing Gu Tingchuan’s cold eyes, he said, “Teachers will have their own ways.”

“I respect your approach.” Gu Tingchuan first expressed his attitude, then he turned to look at the serious Yi Ran. Smiling slowly, he said, “But the teachers are facing this type of obstinate ‘monster parent.’ You’re at your wit’s end. Just consider this so an emergency measure. I’ll just be saving you some trouble.”

Gu Tingchuan gracefully looked at Yao Juan. On his forehead was a bit of friendliness as well as a sense of alienation. “Besides, the Hao background is not so innocent. Last time, you just only talked to them, right? This time, they need to be reminded to not always act so excessively.”

Yi Ran hugged the water bottle to her chest and lowered her head. The fact that this man will directly help was causing her mood to become less and less serene. She did not even dare to look at the handsome contours of his face.

Someone once said that the mind’s burden is the most difficult thing to hide in the world.

Even if you cover your mouth, it will show up in your eyes and escape.
