Chapter 91

Beloved Little Treasure

At midday Yuan Gun Gun handed out reports, and she received a secret delivery, a box of chocolates. On the way back to Hao Yan Che’s office, she ate and shared the chocolates with everyone.

Unfortunately, Hao Yan Che opened his office door before Yuan Gun Gun had a chance to hide the evidence.

‘Show me what’s behind your back,’ Hao Yan Che said.

Yuan Gun Gun slowly gave Hao Yan Che the box of chocolates. He sat back at his desk, read the letter attached to the box of chocolates and fumed.

‘Yuan Gun Gun, do my words fly like the wind through your ears?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

‘No,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

‘I told you, you’re not allowed to receive gifts from other men,’ Hao Yan Che said and thumped his desk.

Yi Tu secretly glanced at the letter, ‘I hope Gun Gun will always be sweet and loveable like this box of chocolates from your big brother San Yuan.’

Yi Tu smiled, because Ning San Yuan didn’t forget Yuan Gun Gun even though Ning San Yuan was transferred to Canberra.

‘Not right,’ Yuan Gun Gun said. ‘You said I’m not allowed to receive flowers from other men.’

Hao Yan Che stood, and Yuan Gun Gun took a step back.

‘It’s true,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

Hao Yan Che threw the box of chocolates outside his office. It was good timing, Hao Yan Que caught it at the door.

‘The CEO of Hao Yan’s company is a welcoming man,’ Hao Yan Que said sarcastically.

Hao Yan Che ignored his parents who stood at the door. Hao Yan Che pulled Yuan Gun Gun onto his lap, and pinched her bottom for playing on words with him.

‘Ow… it hurts,’ Yuan Gun Gun said and wiggled her bottom on Hao Yan Che’s lap like a fish flapping on land.

‘Xiao Che, stop,’ Qiu Li Luo said.

Yuan Gun Gun looked at the goddess coming toward her. The goddess had long white hair and familiar violet eyes.

‘What is it?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

‘Xiao Che, how can you bully Gun Gun?’ Qiu Li Luo asked.

‘Aunty, do you know me?’ Yuan Gun Gun asked.

‘Of course aunty knows Gun Gun,’ Qiu Li Luo said. ‘Don’t you remember aunty?’

Qiu Li Luo stood beside Yuan Gun Gun, Yuan Gun Gun shook her head and hugged Hao Yan Che.

‘Gun Gun, take a closer look at me,’ Qiu Li Luo said.

Yuan Gun Gun looked closely at the goddess, and remembered a distant memory.

‘Xiao Gun Gun, do you remember now?’ Qiu Li Luo asked and stroked Yuan Gun Gun’s hair.

‘Aunty Li?’ Yuan Gun Gun asked.

‘Yes,’ Qiu Li Luo said. ‘My smart Gun Gun, it’s aunty Li.’

Qiu Li Luo caressed Yuan Gun Gun’s adorable face. Qiu Li Luo thought years past too quickly, her little daughter-in-law had grown into a beautiful young woman.

‘Gun Gun, do you remember what you promised aunty Li?’ Qiu Li Luo asked. ‘You promised to marry aunty Li’s son.’

‘Snow white werewolf,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

Hao Yan Che looked suspiciously at Qiu Li Luo.

‘Yes,’ Qiu Li Luo said. ‘Gun Gun remembers aunty Li is the snow white werewolf.’

Yuan Gun Gun jumped off Hao Yan Che’s lap and hugged Qiu Li Luo.

‘Aunty Li, can you turn into the snow white werewolf for me?’ Yuan Gun Gun asked.

Hao Yan Che was displeased Yuan Gun Gun was hugging Qiu Li Luo.

‘Today aunty Li can’t turn into the snow white werewolf but…’ Qiu Li Luo said.

Qiu Li Luo looked at Hao Yan Che, and she whispered a secret in Yuan Gun Gun’s ear.

‘Really?’ Yuan Gun Gun asked.

‘It’s true,’ Qiu Li Luo said.

Yuan Gun Gun’s eyes turned into love hearts and stared at Hao Yan Che. Hao Yan Che felt like Qiu Li Luo caused trouble for him.

‘Aunty Li, you have white hair and violet eyes like young master,’ Yuan Gun Gun said. ‘Is young master your big brother?’

Qiu Li Luo laughed happily to hear Yuan Gun Gun’s praise at Hao Yan Che’s expense.

Hao Yan Que pulled Qiu Li Luo out of Yuan Gun Gun’s arms. He hugged Qiu Li Luo, and mocked Hao Yan Che.

‘Son, you’ve aged,’ Hao Yan Que said.

Hao Yan Che hugged Yuan Gun Gun, and pinched her face.

‘Yuan Gun Gun, you need to get your eyes checked,’ Hao Yan Che said.

‘It hurts,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

Yuan Gun Gun pushed Hao Yan Che’s chest and rubbed her face.

‘Gun Gun, aunty Li is Xiao Che’s mummy,’ Qiu Li Luo said.

Yuan Gun Gun froze in Hao Yan Che’s arms, and her widened big round eyes looked blankly at Qiu Li Luo.

Hao Yan Che scoffed, and Yuan Gun Gun smiled at him.

‘Dad, mum, why are you two here?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

Qiu Li Luo gave Hao Yan Che a werewolf ring.

‘It’s time,’ Qi Li Luo said.
