Novel Full 233 Yoona meeting his family
An Qinyan and Gu Yanxi were at home in the evening. An Xiulan and Lu Xuan went to the hospital to see Grandpa Han. When An Xiulan returned home, her mom had informed her that Grandpa Han was at hospital as he had broken his hip and it was also the reason why Han Zixin hadn’t gone to the school.
“Let me make it for you, Auntie, ” Gu Shangyan said as he came from the stairs. He saw An Qinyan making tea. He had learned the art of tea making from her and from time to time, he always practised it.
“Then, I won’t stand on ceremony, “An Qinyan smiled. “How was school?”
“Same old, “Gu Shangyan replied.
An Qinyan nodded and soon her attention was taken by her husband who was telling her something about the new project that he was interested in but he wanted to ask for her opinion. They always tried to not talk about the office at home but sometimes, it was hard to. After all, they work in the same office.
Gu Shangyan heard the doorbell but he didn’t stand up to open the door as he was making tea. If he averted his attention to other things, the tea would be ruined.
An Qinyan and Gu Yanxi were surprised to see the guests. However, they masked their surprise and welcomed the guests with a smile..
“Mr Bai, Mrs Bai, it’s nice seeing you again, “An Qinyan said as the Bai couple took seats. She looked at the awkward girl whose attention was on Gu Shangyan and added, “Yoona, how are you doing?”
Yoona looked at the familiar woman and smiled. “Hello, Mrs An. I’m good. How are you doing?”
It was only when Gu Shangyan heard the familiar voice did he turn his head to look back. He saw Yoona, the girl who had been occupying his mind for some days for no reason at all and her parents.
“Hello, sir and Madam, “Gu Shangyan said respectfully. He nodded at Yoona who gave him a small smile in return. He didn’t know why he was feeling so awkward.
“Young boy, you didn’t tell us your name that day, “Mr Bai said. “Thankfully, I saw Mr Gu that day with you at the police station or we wouldn’t be able to find you again.” He looked at the Gu couple and added, “He helped our daughter that day and we couldn’t express our gratitude.”
An Qinyan and Gu Yanxi tried to hide their overflowing pride in front of the Bai couple. They tried to be humble but parents often forget what humility was when their children are involved.
“Our Shangyan has always been a good boy, “An Qinyan said with a bright smile.
“Not only this, he is a bookworm, “Gu Yanxi praised, completely forgetting the fact he didn’t like his nephew being a bookworm and for that he had taken several steps.
Gu Shangyan sighed as he could see both of them mentioning all of his never ending good qualities. And for some reasons the Bai couple were very happy to hear the never ending list.
“Ah, we are boring you, Yoona, aren’t we?” An Qinyan smiled at the young girl.
Yoona smiled. “No, no, I’m fine.”
Gu Yanxi looked at Gu Shangyan and said, “Shangyan, why don’t you show Yoona our garden? She must be getting bored here with us. And give a text to your sister and ask her to come home soon.”
Gu Shangyan nodded his head and looked at Yoona who looked at her parents for permission. After that, both of them left the living room and walked towards the garden.
“How are you?” Gu Shangyan asked.
“Good, “Yoona replied.
They didn’t talk for some time.
“So, your name is Yoona?” Gu Shangyan asked.
Yoona met his eyes and asked, “And yours is Shangyan?”
Gu Shangyan nodded his head.
They entered the garden and she got excited seeing the swing in the garden. It was such a beautiful place. The swing was bound to a big and sturdy looking tree and the tree was covered with purple flower vines. To Yoona, it looked quite magical.
“You have a swing in your house?” Yoona asked him as she looked at the modern style mansion and then at the swing that looked a little out of place but beautiful nonetheless.
Gu Shangyan nodded his head. “My brother and I put it here because our sister wanted a swing here.”
“Your sister An Xiulan?” Yoona asked him.
Gu Shangyan was surprised. “You know her?”
Yoona nodded her head and smiled. “We met at the birthday party of her younger brother. Our dads introduced us. You are her brother? I meant Lu Xuan that day. I also know Song Xueyun. We are friends.”
“Wow, “Gu Shangyan could only say this. He knew that his sister was a social butterfly but to this extent. What surprised her the most was how she was friends with Song Xueyun too. Wasn’t Song Xueyun asocial?
“Can I sit on the swing?” Yoona asked him.
“Sure, go ahead, “Gu Shangyan said.
Yoona excitedly sat on the swing and began swinging it. Although she was not a kid anymore, she couldn’t stop her inner kid from coming out as she sat on the kid. She realised that she hadn’t sat on a swing ever.
“Shangyan, can you push me?” Yoona asked with a bright smile.
Her smile was so bright that he couldn’t say no to her. He didn’t have to tell her that he didn’t play with girls but he just nodded his head and pushed her.
Yoona laughed as she swayed to and fro.
