I, The Female Protagonist With Superpower, Am Super Fierce - Chapter 223

Chapter 223: Take As Goddaughter

Following the fixed routine, Gu Yan stayed at Lu Ye’s place for a while.

Lu Ye was rather disciplined along the process. He didn’t cross the line completely.

Nevertheless, he did overstep half of the boundary on numerous occasions.

Captain Lu set up himself to benefit a lot from the whole deal.

Every moment possible, he messed with Gu Yan. Unfortunately, he ended up burning himself while playing with fire.

He would take trips to the bathroom and suffer through cold showers again and again.

It was winter. Although he could warm himself by the furnace, the cold water from the shower was still freezing.

Luckily, Lu Ye’s body was quite healthy. That was the only thing stopping him from getting sick.

Gu Yan wanted to say something upon witnessing his troubles.

Eventually, she told Lu Ye to stay in the room of his friend. Otherwise, she would move back to the dormitory of the Logistics Department.

Lu Ye could only submit to her.

Just like that, the Spring Festival Holiday was near its end.

Her fellow soldiers came back. Gu Yan planned to move back to the Logistics Department.

But on the day she was packing up her things and preparing to return, an unexpected person came.

When she saw the gently smiling Xie Luan, Gu Yan felt dazed. She was a little excited and emotional. However, she tried very hard to control her emotions.

Lu Ye ignored Bai Changle’s presence and looked at Xie Luan. “Aunty Xie, why did you visit? Do you feel better now?”

At the same time, Lu Ye found that Gu Yan was acting a bit strange.

Her expression appeared calm, but he could tell there was a turmoil deep inside her.

But then again, he didn’t know what exactly was wrong.

Gu Yan quickly asked, “Aunty, do you feel better?”

“Much better. I feel lighter and more energetic.” Xie Luan smiled and looked at Gu Yan.

Feelings of warmth were overflowing in her eyes.

Xie Luan said gently, “Gu Yan, thank you so much last time. Otherwise, I might not even be able to talk to you guys right now.”

“You’re welcome.” Gu Yan tried to make her expression look more natural.

“I… could tell you are a good person, Aunty. You do not need to keep expressing your gratitude. Moreover, I only did something another person would do.”

Gu Yan struggled to convey the words. Suddenly, she recalled the jade pendant.

She could let the jade pendant check Xie Luan’s body!

Xie Luan suddenly became thrilled.

She grabbed Gu Yan’s hand and said, “Really? I feel close to you somehow as well! Gu Yan, I want you to become my goddaughter!”

Xie Luan was an emotional person. The affinity she had with Gu Yan was indescribable.

She heard from her son that this girl lived quite a tough life. The poor child didn’t know who her real parents were while her adoptive mother was extremely harsh on her. She even wanted to marry her to a 40-year-old wretched man who had violent tendencies.

Xie Luan pitied Gu Yan even more.

Gu Yan was taken aback. Her eyes fell on Xie Luan’s hand, but the words kept ringing in her ears.

‘Goddaughter!’

No, it wasn’t that word specifically. It was actually the word ‘daughter’. It struck her heart, making her feel both pain and warmth.

Still, she was excited.

Lu Ye had sensed something amiss with his wife.

He came over with a smile and put his big hand on Gu Yan’s shoulder. “Aunty Xie, look, you scared my girlfriend.”

“I was too sudden.” Xie Luan withdrew her hand but still said sincerely, “To be honest, I truly feel an indescribable closeness with you. But… perhaps those words were too sudden. I am sorry.”
