IPVS Chapter 40.7

At nine o’clock in the evening, An An rubbed her eyes and yawned: “Grandma, has Dad found Mom?”

Cen Yanjun also yawned: “Not yet. It seems that it will arrive in the early morning.”

An An tilted her head in the quilt: “What is the early morning?”

Cen Yanjun yawned again.

She dared to swear that this night was the most tiring night she had spent in the past few decades.

After dinner, the driver brought a few puzzles.

The puzzle was not difficult, as it was all large pieces, and the child could complete it by herself. However, the little dumpling wanted her to accompany her, so Cen Yanjun had to sit next to her and complete several sets in one night, which made her arms and legs sore from exhaustion.

If she just accompanied her to do the puzzle, it would be fine, but the little girl was very curious about everything and would ask strange questions from time to time.

As a grandmother, Cen Yanjun couldn’t just give her a perfunctory answer, so she had to pull the slightly more knowledgeable old man in the family over, and the old couple dealt with the 100,000 whys in the child’s head together.

After a night, it was really too much tossing.

When it was time for the child to go to bed, Cen Yanjun wanted to take her back to the room to sleep, but after asking several times, An An said that she wanted to sleep alone in the guest room.

Seeing that she was not used to sleeping with her, Cen Yanjun didn’t force her and took her to the guest room.

At this moment, she leaned against the little girl and coaxed her to sleep in a gentle voice.

Seeing that the little girl’s eyes were tightly closed, she finally felt relieved and quietly got off the bed.

Finally, she could rest.

The old lady tiptoed out, but just as she was holding the door handle, a soft and tender voice came from behind her.

“Grandma…”

Cen Yanjun froze, turned her head away, and resigned herself to going back to coax her baby to sleep.

Was there a camera installed on the back of the little girl’s head?

That night, Cen Yanjun stayed with An An for a long time.

It was not until then that she realized that although the little girl looked much more cheerful than in the first episode, in fact, the child actually lacked a sense of security.

Without her parents around, she slept restlessly. She was scared but didn’t dare cry, so she could only hold on to her grandmother.

When the child finally fell asleep, Cen Yanjun sighed softly and touched her hair with heartache.

Back in the master bedroom, Cen Yanjun was so tired that she just wanted to lie down. It was the first time she didn’t do skin care.

She threw off the quilt and lay down, saying to her husband: “The child will definitely not be used to sleeping with us, so why don’t we build a children’s room for her? How can a little granddaughter stay in the guest room when she comes to her grandmother’s house?”

Cen Yanjun thought that the old man would yell at her for doing something unnecessary, but who knew that the old man hadn’t said anything for a long time?

After a long while, just when she was drowsy, a muffled voice came to her ears.

“Change the room next to us into a children’s room, otherwise, she will cry in the middle of the night and we won’t be able to hear it.”

Cen Yanjun smiled and nodded.

At one o’clock in the morning, Gu Yicheng got in a taxi.

He gave the hotel address that Assistant Fang had inquired about to the taxi driver: “Please drive faster.”

“Okay!” The taxi driver agreed and stepped on the accelerator.

Gu Yicheng looked out the window. This city was unfamiliar, and scenery flashed before his eyes.
