Chapter 171 Questioning
The aunt covered her mouth, suppressing her shock, and pretended not to have heard.
She turned around and left Gu Tingyu's doorway with stiff steps.
Not long after, Gu Tingyu woke up again. He was holding someone else's small hand, which felt somewhat familiar, and he felt as if strands of hair were falling onto his arm.
He looked at the owner of the hair with a puzzled expression.
When he discovered that Li Yan was asleep in front of his bed again, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside him.
However, he did not wake Li Yan and carefully withdrew his hand.
Gu Tingyu even covered Li Yan with a blanket before leaving his room.
He stretched lazily and slowly walked to the kitchen, where he found that the housekeeper had reheated the four dishes and soup repeatedly.
Watching the aunt bustling around, Gu Tingyu felt a little embarrassed. He had called her to cook, but she had fallen asleep.
Having had a good night's sleep, Gu Tingyu looked radiant and full of energy. He smiled and said, "Auntie, thank you for your hard work."
Seeing that Gu Tingyu was awake, the aunt put down the last plate of reheated food and breathed a sigh of relief.
If Gu Tingyu doesn't wake up, she doesn't know how long she'll stay hot.
"Mr. Gu, I'll be going now."
The aunt wiped the moisture from her hands onto her apron, preparing to leave work.
Unexpectedly, Gu Tingyu suddenly called out to her, "Auntie, wait a moment."
The aunt's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of panic appeared on her face. She bent slightly and looked at him anxiously: "Mr. Gu, is there anything else?"
Remembering what she had overheard that she shouldn't have, the aunt felt a chill run down her spine.
Gu Tingyu stood in front of the dining table, stroked Leng Bai's chin with one hand, and asked casually, "Auntie, how did Li Yan fall asleep?"
"Well, I'm not quite sure either. I'm busy in the kitchen..." The aunt deliberately avoided answering, her eyes darting around, and she spoke somewhat hesitantly.
Gu Tingyu, who works in the entertainment industry, immediately saw through his aunt's intention to keep it from him.
He lowered his hand and tapped it on the smooth tabletop, producing a crisp sound.
Gu Tingyu was still smiling, but his peach blossom eyes had lost their warmth. He continued to question his aunt, "Auntie, I want to hear the truth, do you understand?"
Under Gu Tingyu's icy gaze, the aunt nervously twisted her hands together, unable to withstand Gu Tingyu's questioning.
In the end, she honestly told everything she knew.
“Mr. Gu, it seemed like you were having a nightmare at the time, and you kept calling Miss Li Yan ‘Mom’.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingyu's serious and indifferent expression stiffened, and his eyelids twitched.
Then, the aunt said, "Miss Li Yan is worried about you, so she will treat you like her own mother and comfort you until she is too tired to sleep."
Gu Tingyu suppressed his embarrassment and waved to the aunt: "Auntie, you can go home now."
Having received permission, the aunt took her things and quickly left Gu Tingyu's house.
Gu Tingyu stood there, frozen in place, his face flushed red, regretting how he had lost face so badly in front of Li Yan.
He had previously refused to acknowledge that Li Yan was his mother.
Now look what's happened, she keeps calling him "Mom".
Gu Tingyu kicked the chair in despair, wishing he could go back to the time when he called Li Yan "Mom," slap himself a few times, and bring himself back to his senses!
Li Yan looks so young, how could she possibly be my mother?
Gu Tingyu calmed down for a minute, then went to wake Li Yan up with this expression: "Mom, wake up."
Realizing what he had said, Gu Tingyu quickly covered his mouth.
What on earth happened to him just now?
