Chapter 279: Gu Yan Needs a New Helmet

Morning.

Seeing Wang Haoran stretching as he emerged from the guest room, Gu Yan, who had been on guard all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed he was indeed overthinking things!

Wang Haoran had genuinely stayed in his room all night.

Feeling reassured, Gu Yan quickly sneaked back into his room while no one was paying attention.

Despite being up all night, he felt dizzy but didn’t lie down to sleep. After all, a new day had begun, and there were many household chores waiting for him!

After washing up, he went downstairs to start preparing breakfast for everyone.

It wasn’t long before Su Yuning also came out of her room.

She, like Wang Haoran, looked radiant and refreshed, showing no signs of a sleepless night.

Even though Gu Yan had “high medical skills,” Wang Haoran had no idea how advanced they were.

Upon waking up, Su Yuning, who usually couldn’t handle much, felt lighter and more comfortable than ever.

When she exited her room and saw Wang Haoran, she rushed over to hug him.

A good morning kiss.

It was only after she was gently panting that they both went downstairs together.

At the dining table, Gu Yan had almost finished preparing breakfast. Father and Mother Su were also present.

The Su family usually had millet porridge with various side dishes for breakfast but occasionally enjoyed Western-style breakfast too. The fridge always had some milk stored.

Opening the fridge, Su Yuning took out a carton of milk and brought it to the kitchen for Gu Yan.

“Gu Yan, warm up the milk.”

“Okay!”

Thinking that Su Yuning wanted milk for breakfast, Gu Yan promptly agreed and got to work.

Soon enough, he had the milk warmed up, smiling as he handed it to Su Yuning.

Unexpectedly, she took the milk and eagerly poured a glass for Wang Haoran beside her.

“Haoran, drink more to replenish your nutrients!”

“…”

I’m not petty! I must endure this!

—Gu Yan consoled himself as he witnessed this scene.

***

After breakfast, Wang Haoran bid farewell to the Su couple while Su Yuning saw him out.

As Wang Haoran got in his car, Su Yuning also sat in the passenger seat beside him.

“Yuning, I’ll head back now.”

“Haoran, when will you come back to see me?”

“I’ll come whenever I have time.”

Hearing such a dismissive response, Su Yuning was a little unhappy.

“…Ugh… Are you already brushing me off after just taking my body?”

“I’m not!” Wang Haoran said helplessly.

“I really have important things to do these next few days, and I don’t know how long they will take, so that’s the only answer I can give!”

Seeing her still looking worried, Wang Haoran hugged her to comfort her.

“I might be unreachable by phone these next few days.”

“But don’t overthink it. At most four days, and I’ll come find you after I’m done!”

“Remember?”

Su Yuning nodded. “I remember!”

“Good. Meanwhile, just treat Gu Yan as usual.”

“Remember, don’t get a divorce yet!”

“I know!”

Su Yuning didn’t ask why; she simply agreed readily.

Seeing her lying in his arms with half-closed eyes and a gentle smile as if intoxicated, Wang Haoran couldn’t resist touching her cheek.

“And remember, Gu Yan isn’t allowed to touch you. I’m very possessive! Got it?”

Su Yuning opened her eyes. “You’re unbelievable! You already…after bullying me…and now expect me to stay faithful to you… how is that fair!”

“What, you don’t want to?”

“…I do!”

After five minutes…

“Alright, I really need to leave now. Stay put and wait for me!”

***

Gu Yan had already left the villa.

But he hardly noticed what was happening around him.

As he muttered about what items he needed to buy, he adjusted the helmet given by the market vendor and rode off on his scooter.

This time, apart from buying some household essentials, he planned to buy a new helmet too.

After all, his current helmet was quite old and didn’t fit well; it really didn’t suit him!

Conveniently passing by a helmet shop on the way…

Humming a tune, Gu Yan rode off on his scooter.
