Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 136 - 135: My Husband Is Here—Do You Dare Touch Me?
Wang Guihua stared intently at Lin Wan Yi, her gaze sharp.
"Comrade Wanyi."
Her voice trembled slightly in the stillness of the night, impossible to ignore.
"What did you feed the child?"
Gu Lan held her breath, watching Lin Wan Yi nervously.
Lin Wan Yi’s face showed no trace of panic.
She gently patted the already sleeping Gu Ning in her arms, her voice as calm as a deep pool.
"Nanny Wang, it’s something my mother left to me."
Wang Guihua pressed on, "What is it?"
"A pill."
Lin Wan Yi lowered her eyelids, her long lashes casting shadows in the light.
"It’s the Lin Family’s ancestral ’Life Saving Pill’, made from over a hundred rare herbs, taking ten years to produce a single pill."
"It should never be used unless in a life-and-death situation."
She raised her head to look at Wang Guihua, her gaze sincere and honest.
"Just now, Ningning’s condition was truly dangerous. In my urgency, I took a pill, dissolved it, and fed her a few drops."
Wang Guihua’s face was filled with shock.
Life Saving Pill?
This thing, only rumored in ancient texts, actually exists?
Lin Wan Yi sighed lightly.
"This pill is precious, using one means losing one, it shouldn’t be spoken of."
"But Nanny Wang, you truly care for the child, I didn’t want to hide it from you."
"Please keep this secret for me."
Her explanation was impeccable.
It not only explained the pill’s miraculous effects but used the reason of "family heirloom, not to be passed on" to prevent Wang Guihua from probing further.
Wang Guihua looked at her, and then at the peacefully breathing baby in her arms, the waves of shock in her heart unable to calm.
What more could she say?
The family’s ancestral secret, she, as a nanny, had no right to ask further.
"...Alright, I understand."
Wang Guihua nodded with difficulty, suppressing all her questions in her heart.
The next day, in the evening.
The setting sun cast a warm golden hue over the small building.
In the yard, Lin Wan Yi was rolling up her sleeves, squatting in front of two large wooden tubs, washing An An and Ningning.
The two little ones were wrapped in warm water, kicking their little legs comfortably, making cooing sounds.
Wang Guihua handed towels nearby, while Gu Lan played with a rattle to entertain them, filling the yard with warmth.
"Bang bang bang!"
The gate of the yard was knocked loudly.
Gu Lan frowned and went to open the door.
Standing outside was Chen Zhiyuan, and behind him Liu Meiqin and Li Li with resentful expressions.
"What are you doing here!" Gu Lan blocked the door unpleasantly.
Chen Zhiyuan pushed up his glasses, not even giving her a glance, his gaze past her, directly fixed on Lin Wan Yi in the yard.
"I came to ask Classmate Lin about some academic issues."
His voice wasn’t loud, but enough for students in the surrounding dormitories to stick their heads out to watch the drama.
Behind him, Liu Meiqin spoke with a sarcastic tone.
"Oh, living such a comfortable life, still have time to bathe the children? The school’s seedlings are dying, shouldn’t some people go take a look?"
Lin Wan Yi didn’t even look up, just gently wiped Gu An’s little face with soft gauze.
"The seedlings, I’ve already revived them."
Her voice was indifferent.
Chen Zhiyuan’s face stiffened, then sneered.
"Revived? Classmate Lin, you shouldn’t talk nonsense."
He strode into the yard, standing before Lin Wan Yi, assuming a scholar’s stance.
"I’ve checked all the literature on ’yellow leaf wilt disease’, no pathogen can be completely eradicated in just half an hour."
"What method did you use in the greenhouse yesterday? Did you change the soil’s pH level?"
His series of technical jargon left the surrounding onlookers baffled.
Liu Meiqin immediately chimed in: "Exactly! I think it’s just a show! You’re a capitalist’s daughter, how could you possibly know these things!"
Lin Wan Yi finally lifted her head.
She didn’t look at Chen Zhiyuan, but at Liu Meiqin.
"Classmate Liu, your father is the Vice Director Liu from logistics, right?"
Liu Meiqin instinctively puffed out her chest: "So what!"
"Nothing."
Lin Wan Yi smiled slightly.
"Just think, instead of questioning others, it’s better to read more books."
"After all, exam scores are your own, your father’s position can’t be taken into the exam hall."
"Hahaha—"
Quiet laughs erupted from the surrounding crowd.
Liu Meiqin’s face turned beet red.
Lin Wan Yi then shifted her gaze to Chen Zhiyuan, her eyes like looking at a child throwing a tantrum.
"Mr. Chen, I don’t understand the things you’re talking about."
Chen Zhiyuan was taken aback: "You..."
"I only know, my mother’s notes say that land, like people, can become sick and weak."
She pointed to the chubby child in the tub.
"When people are sick, they need medicine and nutrition."
"When land is sick, naturally, it also needs ’nourishment’."
Chen Zhiyuan frowned: "Nourishment? What do you mean?"
"I mean, if you don’t understand the basics of ’cultivating land’, don’t talk to me about ’academics’."
Lin Wan Yi stood up, wrapped the freshly cleaned Gu Ning in a large towel, and handed him to Wang Guihua.
"See them out."
She issued a directive to leave.
Chen Zhiyuan’s face turned green and white, looking extremely awkward.
He had studied all night, prepared a belly full of professional questions, only for the other party to refuse to play by the rules!
Using a set of "nourishing the land" nonsense, she blocked all his arguments!
He felt like he punched into cotton, frustrating him to the point of wanting to spit blood.
"Lin Wan Yi! You’re avoiding the question!"
He shouted in anger.
Just then.
The roar of a car engine drew near.
A hard-lined military jeep stopped on the nearby path.
The car door opened.
A straight leg in military pants stepped out first.
Soon afterward, a tall and upright figure appeared before everyone.
Gu Yanshen.
He wore a tidy military uniform, two bars and a star on his shoulder gleaming with authority in the sunset.
The distinct features on his face showed no emotion, the cold aura around him silenced the noisy crowd.
The students watching were stunned.
God.
Is this a celestial officer walking out of a painting?
Gu Yanshen ignored everyone’s gaze.
His eyes had been locked on Lin Wan Yi in the yard the moment he stepped off the car.
That icy gaze softened a lot upon seeing her.
He strode over, placing a bulging net bag he was carrying on the stone table in the yard.
With a "bang", it made a dull sound.
Only then did he turn his head, his cold gaze landing on Chen Zhiyuan standing between him and Lin Wan Yi.
"You’re very noisy."
His voice wasn’t loud, but it froze Chen Zhiyuan like a polar wind.
Gu Yanshen glanced away from him.
He bent over, lifting both cradle-packaged infants like small rice dumplings with ease.
Then he reached out, firmly wrapping an arm around Lin Wan Yi’s waist.
Lin Wan Yi stumbled, leaning against his solid chest.
Gu Yanshen used this possessive stance to lead his wife and children toward the house door.
The girls present felt dejected.
Chen Zhiyuan and Liu Meiqin felt like they were slapped in public, their faces burning.
Just as the door of the house was about to close.
Gu Yanshen stopped.
He turned back, his cold gaze slowly sweeping over the stupefied crowd outside the yard.
Finally, he spoke plainly yet forcefully.
"My wife."
"My children."
After saying that.
"Bang!"
The door of the yard was closed heavily.
