Became a vicious male mother

chapter261

Unable to resist, Gu Xinglan took a cold towel wrapped around an ice pack and placed it on her feet for a cold compress.

The bed in the room was hard, and so was the person's attitude.

He lowered his head and gently moved the ice pack aside, stealing a glance at the blisters. After applying the ice pack, all the chafing marks disappeared.

But Yu Guangli's Li Hetai was still standing opposite, stubbornly holding the hand cream.

"No need, it's just a minor injury." The injury has already healed.

His foot recovered very quickly, and he couldn't come up with any excuse to fob off Li Hetai.

After peeking, when Gu Xinglan looked up again, Li Hetai was already standing in front of him, snatching the ice pack away.

In my field of vision, the skin on the instep was smooth and delicate; there was no injury there.

But Li Hetai didn't ask anything, which really relieved him.

"Um, I can do it myself." Seeing that Li Hetai was still trying to apply hand cream to his feet.

Of course, he would do this himself.

The hand cream had a light, fruity scent. Gu Xinglan applied it to the back of her feet, rubbed it haphazardly a few times, and when she came out after washing her hands, the room was empty.

The ice packs and hand cream were also cleaned up.

The next morning, at 5:40.

The alarm clock rang on time. Gu Xinglan was still sleepy and couldn't even open her eyes. She forced herself to get out of bed by sheer willpower.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone into the courtyard.

The moment he opened the door, a cool, fragrant breeze brushed against his face.

This is the territory of a collateral branch, quite remote, and most of the designs lean towards modern styles.

As they left the garden and walked further into the center, the buildings became increasingly classical.

The sunlight overhead was blocked by tall trees, and the shadows of the trees were spread out on the ground. There were high walls everywhere, and a faint smell of medicine filled the air.

Gu Xinglan gradually regained consciousness, her eyes carefully taking in her surroundings.

The path is paved with pebbles, and in the corner there are artificial hills and ponds, where you can see koi carp gently swaying in the clear water.

Walking from the inner courtyard of the collateral branch to the inner courtyard of the main branch, within just a few minutes, everything in sight had changed dramatically.

Now it really is a side room.

It's so hot, is there air conditioning in this room?

As soon as the door opened, a chilling wind blew out from the cracks in the door.

"No manners at all! Why aren't you saying hello?"

A strong, resonant woman's voice came from inside.

Li Hetai bowed and said, "Grandpa, are you in good health?"

Gu Xinglan pretended to bow as well.

"come in."

The door was opened even wider, and there was not much of a medicinal smell inside, but rather a faint aroma of tea and sandalwood.

A large blue screen blocked the view of the bed, and the soft clinking of teacups could be heard in the background.

This is Li Taihe's father, Li Hetai's grandfather... Gu Xinglan raised her eyes and secretly looked.

The dark figure was bulky and looked quite prosperous.

"Ok?"

Gu Xinglan was blocked outside the door by a strong hand.

"Did they let you in?" the old woman growled.

Before Gu Xinglan could react, the hand shoved him away forcefully.

His back foot was blocked by the threshold, and his vision instantly spun. He instinctively covered his head, and alarm bells rang in his mind.

There are stone steps behind this.

Instead of the expected pain, my waist was instead held tightly by two hands.

Li Hetai, who had gone in, ran out again.

The old woman fell silent for a moment, then widened her eyes and stared intently at Li Hetai.

No rules or regulations.

"Young Master, please go inside quickly."

“He was with me.” Li Hetai finished speaking and quietly raised his head.

Those eyes looked exactly like the old man's, and now, with that expression of dissatisfaction combined with that face, the old woman was speechless.

She had never met this so-called young master.

Look at him, so wild and uncouth, with absolutely no manners.

Just then, two knocks were heard from behind the screen, producing two muffled sounds.

The old woman quickly regained her senses, took out a thin bamboo whip from behind her back, and her face turned dark.

"Young Master, there can be no order without rules, please go inside!"

That bamboo whip looked so thin and long; it must have hurt terribly if it hit someone.

Just as Gu Xinglan was about to tell Li Hetai to give up, several coughs suddenly broke the silence.

The newcomer had slightly long hair, which was gently tucked behind his ears, revealing a pale and weak face, with delicate and elegant features.

The hem of the blue robe swayed slowly as the person moved, making him look extremely thin and frail.

When he coughs and covers his mouth, his exposed arm is unusually thin and weak, as if it would break with a gust of wind.

"They have already paid their respects. Father's health cannot withstand the wind, so close the door as soon as possible. I'll take them downstairs."

The soft voice rang out, and a certain scene suddenly appeared in Gu Xinglan's mind.

That was when Li Taihe took him to the auction, and a man called "Third Young Master" came along the way.

It was the same cough, the same sound.

Gu Xinglan blurted out, "Third Young Master?"

Li Jianbai was somewhat surprised to be addressed as the Third Young Master.

Seeing the old woman's pale face, Li Jianbai waved his hand.

Octagonal pavilion.

The tea from the Li family has an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

It seems that Li Taihe often soaked in the villa; the smell was very fragrant.

The tea was brewed in two cups. Li Jianbai moved one cup in front of Li Hetai and the other in front of Gu Xinglan, and said with a smile, "When no one is around, you can just call me by my name. My name is Li Jianbai."

This person has a different temperament from Li Taihe.

If Li Taihe is a sword drawn from its sheath, then this one is like tea leaves steeped for a long time at the bottom of a cup, emphasizing restraint.

While drinking tea, he raised his teacup and saw that the other person was still looking at him, as if he had something to say but hadn't finished. Gu Xinglan understood and said, "My name is Gu Xinglan."

The two essentially swapped names.

Chen Shi (7:00 AM) is mealtime.

The meal was served in their own yard, and all that was served were two steamed buns and a plate of green vegetable leaves.

Gu Xinglan tried to lift her chopsticks, but couldn't bring herself to put them down no matter how many times she tried.

He could eat it, but he didn't understand why it was steamed buns and vegetables.

"Li Hetai, are your father and grandfather on good terms?" He took two bites; the steamed bun was still rock hard, clearly left out for a long time, and he couldn't bite it at all, even biting his tongue in the process.

He stuck out his tongue slightly and quickly swallowed several mouthfuls of water.

"I don't know." Li Hetai bit down hard, his cheeks twitching like a little hamster.

I can eat it, though.

Gu Xinglan also took a bite of the steamed bun, and the two of them finished the whole thing with the cabbage.

Si Shi, 9 o'clock.

The two of them took a nap. When the door opened, Gu Xinglan thought it was Li Hetai, so she didn't move, stretched comfortably, and continued to sleep.

As a result, the thin blanket covering her became heavier and heavier, and Gu Xinglan suddenly opened her eyes.

The area he was touching was soaked with water and felt sticky. He sat up in surprise, his body also wet.

In my line of sight, there was an old man dressed entirely in yellow with his hands behind his back, a child next to him carrying a bucket, and a burly man holding up a bucket to pour water.

"you!"

Gu Xinglan stood up abruptly.

He clearly locked the outside door.

"I know you're anxious, but don't worry. No one except the master is allowed to lock the room door. This is your first lesson since coming to the Li family."

"You're violating my privacy..." Gu Xinglan gritted her teeth, looked around, and saw that even the children here had muscles. In the end, she obediently got out of bed.

"Today it's water splashing, tomorrow it'll be three bamboo whips, and next time, it'll be family discipline!"

The old man had a bright white smile, and his voice was strong and clear, without any of the hoarseness typical of elderly people.

Gu Xinglan touched her wet clothes, her mind already wandering far away.

"Can you hear me?!" After yelling, she wanted to pull his ear.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a whip cracking suddenly rang out from outside the courtyard.

The sound reached the floor tiles, making a crackling sound.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you paid your respects to the master today and then came back to sleep. You have no respect at all. The young master will take the punishment for you." The old man stroked his beard.

As a result, the old man's collar was suddenly grabbed.

The man, who had been gentle and weak, suddenly changed his expression, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, and his eyes were full of anger.

“That’s a child! You! You deserve divine retribution!” Gu Xinglan’s face flushed red.
