Chapter 176: Sweet Talk

Gu Yan’s face stiffened.

She didn’t know whether the temperature simply dropped, but she could truly feel the cold biting into her skin now.

‘Biological parents?’

To be honest, she was disheartened. Gu Yan bore resentment towards them.

‘What sort of parents are they?’

‘Careless ones…’

‘How come they couldn’t even tell their child had been swapped?!’

Even though it might be difficult to tell apart newborn children, how could they fail to recognize their own daughter?

Gu Yan bit her lips.

She had seen Bai Jianjun in her past life.

He was… her biological father.

Commander Bai was a righteous person. He rarely spoke and put most of his efforts into work. He was cold to his family, let alone Gu Yan who was a stranger.

This sort of father…

Perhaps, he had less fatherly affection than the weak-charactered Gu Dagang.

As for her biological mother…

Gu Yan didn’t get the chance to see Xie Wan in her previous life. Rumor had it she was a writer. However, her health wasn’t doing well. Hence, she was confined to a treatment center abroad.

“Gu Yan…” Lu Ye noticed the mood of his wife plummet. He cursed himself for being insensitive. He must have made her think about sad matters.

Captain Lu was distraught.

Gu Yan quickly adjusted her emotions and gently responded, “I only learned by accident I wasn’t Zhang Lan’s biological daughter. Hence, I don’t have any news regarding my real parents. If… if I do have any clues, I will ask if I need your help.”

His little wife’s eyes lit up again this time. Her tone became lighter.

Captain Lu felt relieved.

Nevertheless, there was an ache in his heart.

He went behind her and hugged Gu Yan into his arms. He placed his chin on her head and gently rubbed it.

“Gu Yan, I couldn’t participate in your life before, but you will have me for everything from now on. I will give you a home. A warm and cozy home!”

Gu Yan’s eyes reddened. Her cold heart began to thaw little by little.

She bit her lips as tears welled up. “Captain Lu, did you eat too much sweet potato? How do you know how to sweet talk like this?”

Even Gu Yan couldn’t handle this abrupt tenderness.

“When you encounter the right person, the sweet words will flow naturally.”

“… Captain Lu, stop. If you keep talking, I would want to marry you now.” Gu Yan felt touched and warmed.

The 1.65-meter-tall Gu Yan snuggled into the arms of the 1.8-meter-tall Lu Ye.

She never had this sense of security before.

Hearing her words, Lu Ye felt thrilled. “Should we go and get the certificate now?”

Seeing his kid-like behavior, Gu Yan suddenly felt she wasn’t conservative at all.

Truly, she wanted to get married to Lu Ye right now…

However, considering her impulse as the devil was not a joke at all.

Just when Captain Lu wanted to take her back home and marry her immediately, Gu Yan said, “Lu Ye, your family doesn’t know about me, right?”

“We can get married first and then tell them later!”

“We have to run our marriage application through our superiors… Before it can even get approved, your entire family would probably discover it then. Right?”

Gu Yan sighed and turned around, patting Lu Ye’s face to make him sober up.
