Chapter 662 - Mom, Do You Love Him
"That"s a good idea," Gu Yan said with a smile, "I like this terrace very much. I feel like I can plant some flowers and plants on it. Then, I can put a small table and a small chair here. I can also drink tea and bask in the sun here. Oh right, mom, I also picked up a cute little white cat. I"ll Take it tomorrow. Then, I can hold it and bask in the sun here."
In fact, the size of Gu Yan"s house and even the balcony were much smaller than the Bai family"s.
But for some reason, Xie Luan listened to Gu Yan"s description and gestures, and a yearning rose in her heart.
Looking at her daughter"s bright smile under the Sun, Xie Luan seemed to be infected. Then, she said softly, "Xiao Yan, when your house is ready, I want to move in here with you, is that okay?"
Gu Yan nodded. "Sure. Mom, I"ve already prepared a guest room here so that you can stay here when you have time."
Gu Yan had thought about this long ago. After all, Lu Ye was going to be very busy. The couple would definitely be spending more time apart. This situation would last until Gu Yan graduated from the Empire"s First Academy.
Moreover, Gu Yan had missed Xie Luan in her previous life. In this life, the mother and daughter had just met.
Gu Yan subconsciously wanted to be closer to Xie Luan.
However, Xie Luan slowly shook her head and said, "Xiao Yan, what I mean is that I want to stay with you for a long time. Is that okay?"
Gu Yan was stunned. She thought for a moment and still held Xie Luan"s hand. The mother and daughter sat together on the sofa in the living room.
Gu Yan said seriously, "Mom, this is my home so it"s also your home. You can stay here as long as you want. You can come and stay here whenever you want. However, did something happen between you and Commander Bai?"
Xie Luan lowered her gaze slightly.
Gu Yan held her mother"s hand. She knew that some things were really difficult to talk about. If it was someone else, she would definitely be too lazy to care about it.
But this person was her mother.
Gu Yan would not ignore it.
She recalled Commander Bai Jianjun in her previous life. He was indeed an excellent soldier, but he was a little cold, or rather, careless.
Bai Jianjun treated Bai Weiyang very well in her previous life. Even if he did not show it, he was very indulgent towards Bai Weiyang when it came to major matters.
Perhaps he felt that he owed his daughter, so he had to make it up to her.
Therefore, the kindness that Bai Jianjun showed Bai Weiyang in her previous life was not true family love.
Perhaps in his heart, it was just a form of compensation.
Then, how did the cold-hearted Bai Jianjun treat Xie Luan?
Looking at her daughter"s worried gaze, Xie Luan sighed slightly and said, "Xiao Yan, now that you"re married, you"ll understand. In fact, no matter how much two people love each other, if they don"t get along well, they might not be able to live a lifetime together."
After all, a lifetime was so long.
Gu Yan walked to the kitchen, boiled a pot of hot water, and poured it out to dry.
Steam swirled in the wind.
"Mom, do you love him?"
Gu Yan had always been worried that her mother, Xie Luan, had married Bai Jianjun to repay their kindness.
However, kindness was not love.
"I loved him..."
Xie Luan leaned against the sofa and picked up the tea pot. The water in the tea pot had not cooled down yet, and the tea pot was a little hot to touch.
She had indeed loved him.
That year, she was confused about her past and her future. At that time, a handsome man in uniform appeared.
He looked at her coldly, but his ears were a little red.
At that moment, Xie Luan knew that her heart was filled with fireworks.
Then, she got married and had children. Everything went according to plan.
But…
