Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Panda Novel

Gu Xie walked past Jing Yun and did not stop at all. He went to Lin Xiaojuan, reached out his hand, and said, “I’m here to bring you home.”

The swarm of arrows that were coming for her changed direction drastically, and the gloomy clouds dispersed. The sky was pure and beautiful. Lin Xiaojuan felt queasy like someone who had been so close to being treated miserably. Her eyes turned red instantly.

There is only me in his eyes!

Ever since she got into university, she became independent. Especially when Shen Qianshu came back pregnant, the two of them were incredibly helpless. Lin XIaojuan changed then, and she was no longer a timid teen girl. She no longer hid behind Shen Qianshu, and she began to be more independent. She became Shen Qianshu’s tree of support.

These years, she had never confided in anyone, and she had never told anyone about how lost she was or how sad her life was.

When she was still dating, Yan Jianming always said that she was distant and seldom mixed around with people. He felt that she did not love him enough.

That time, she felt wronged, and she wished she could be a carefree lady in love. She wished that she did not need to care about anything, but she could not do that. She had to work very hard to earn money so that she could provide good conditions for Qianshu and Tong Hua.

Yet, she was used to bottling her feelings up.

Now, she wished she could hug him and cry. She had been so miserable tonight, and she wished she could pour out her feelings.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Xie was badly shocked. He pulled her hand immediately, and Lin Xiaojuan knew that she had lost her steady composure. She shook her head lightly. “Dust got in my eyes.”

Gu Xie held her hand tightly. “Let’s go home then.”

He lowered his head and asked Tong Hua who was beside them. “Is Ah Da waiting for you?”

Tong Hua smiled sweetly. “Yup. Hurry up and bring Aunt home.”

Gu Xie held Lin Xiaojuan as they walked down the stairs slowly. As usual, he opened her car door and waited for her to get in before he got into the car and drove off.

From the moment he came until he left, he did not speak to anyone else. He only had eyes for one person.

The smile on Jing Yun’s face disappeared, and her face turned stiff. Her whole body felt chilly. Gu Xie did not even give her any ‘face.’ She waved at him, and he ignored her completely. Was he afraid of hurting Lin Xiaojuan’s feelings? She clenched her teeth.

The surrounding celebrities were shocked.

“What new love and old flame? Gu Xie only has eyes for Lin Xiaojuan.”

“Yeah, even if she was a substitute, it seems like Jing Yun is Lin Xiaojuan’s substitute. Who would ignore their true love and only have eyes for their substitute?”

“If it were so, I’d rather be the substitute. Why be his ‘true love?'”

“Gosh. I feel awkward for someone.”

“Yeah, so so awkward. Doesn’t her face hurt? What happened to being his true love? He didn’t even give her a glance or anything. What true love?”

“Tsk tsk tsk… Awkward… Awkward…”

The group of celebrities left while gossiping. There were still sounds of gloating and more gossip. Jing Yun shook in anger. She must have done something wrong. It must be. Lin Xiaojuan was clearly just her substitute.

Ah Da was already waiting for Tong Hua.

Tong Hua looked at Jing Yun and mocked her. “Wasn’t it embarrassing? Do you think that I don’t know who the one announcing that she is Gu Xie’s true love is? Who was the one who said my Aunt is a substitute? I shall not be calculative. I’m just waiting for the masses to slap you in the face. Doesn’t your face hurt?”

Jing Yun looked at Tong Hua furiously, and Tong Hua sneered. “You brought it upon yourself. Also, thanks for returning the bracelet to us today. I’ll throw it in the river later. I don’t want this thing to dirty my mommy’s eyes.”

Tong Hua walked towards Ah Da and felt really great. He finally got to ‘slap’ someone in the face.

It was satisfying!

How dare you bully my Aunt! Do you think I’m a pushover?!
