Chapter 1113: He Was Able to Dote on Her Without Qualms!

Upon hearing the words “sago glutinous rice balls,” Gu Qingcheng looked up…

“Sago glutinous rice balls? I’ve never heard anyone cook sago with glutinous rice balls,” Lin Nuan said to Yun Liuli with a gentle smile.

Yun Liuli nodded. “I’ve never eaten it before either. But I just feel… that I wanna eat this!”

Sago glutinous rice balls were a dessert that Yun Liuli once made for Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng wasn’t fond of sweets, and Yun Liuli only found out after interacting with Gu Qingcheng for some time. She felt that sago with coconut milk was really delicious, so she replaced the sago with little balls made from glutinous rice powder. When it was mixed with coconut juice, it wasn’t so sweet anymore. Yun Liuli gave this dessert the name “sago glutinous rice balls.”

However… this happened when Yun Liuli was sixteen. She actually still remembered this.

“Okay, after I get the hot water, I’ll call home, have it prepared, and bring it to you!”

Lin Nuan went out of the ward, holding a thermos and fetching water from a hot water dispenser. Somehow, something felt strange.

Was it because Yun Liuli was quite close to her previously? Bai Jinyu said that Yun Liuli had lost her memories from after she turned seven, but since Lin Nuan appeared… Yun Liuli didn’t seem to have questioned who Lin Nuan was, why she suddenly appeared there, or whether she was a friend of her mom or dad.

Lin Nuan turned off the hot water dispenser and closed the thermos lid properly, then went back with the thermos. That cunning lass had drugged Gu Qingcheng with sleeping pills before in order to snag him. This time around, would she…

Before Lin Nuan could think deeper, she got to the ward.

Pushing the door open, before Lin Nuan entered, she heard the young lady say in a muffled, choked, and squeamish voice, “Uncle Qingcheng, I feel so much pain. I miss Daddy…”

“Your dad’s at work. He’ll be here sometime later to keep you company, okay?” Gu Qingcheng coaxed the young lady patiently.

This was the first time Lin Nuan heard Gu Qingcheng speak so gently and warmly.

The young lady obediently nodded. With tear droplets on her eyelashes still, she asked childishly, “Then, when will Daddy finish working?”

“When Xiao Liuli is fully recovered, your dad will have finished his work and will come back to accompany you!” Gu Qingcheng comforted Yun Liuli.

Perhaps ever since Gu Qingcheng came to know of Yun Liuli’s feelings towards him, he wasn’t able to face her properly, fearing that showing her even a bit of gentleness would make her sink deeper, afraid he might give the child false hope. Hence, Gu Qingcheng had hardened his heart and feigned coldness before Yun Liuli all along…

Now, Yun Liuli suddenly lost her memory, and her intellect was stuck at seven years old. This allowed Gu Qingcheng to regard Yun Liuli purely as a child. Regardless of whether it was out of sympathy or genuine fondness, even… love, he was able to show his most gentle side to Yun Liuli without any burden!

He was able to dote on her without qualms!

Gu Qingcheng didn’t realize that his tone of voice was as gentle as water.

When Lin Nuan entered, she saw Gu Qingcheng stroking Yun Liuli’s black hair, a gentle and genial smile in his eyes.

Lin Nuan had never seen Gu Qingcheng smile that way. It was as if a faint and warm color had layered over his fierce aura.

Under the golden sunshine that wasn’t too striking, the man with cold and tough facial features appeared incredibly gentle, whilst the young lady who still had tear droplets on her eyelashes looked so beautiful and lovely. Even Lin Nuan felt the two of them looked very compatible.

Lin Nuan had planned to stay around and accompany Yun Liuli before the recording she had that morning, afraid the young lady would be all alone in the hospital and feel bored. But seeing Gu Qingcheng and Yun Liuli’s interaction, Lin Nuan decided she shouldn’t stay around and play gooseberry.

She placed the thermos on the bedside table, then said to Yun Liuli, “I’ll get going first. I’ll get them to make the sago glutinous rice balls you asked for and have it sent to you!”

“It’s okay, no need to go through such trouble! Others might not be able to make the sago glutinous rice balls that Liuli wants to eat! I’ll instruct someone to have it prepared for her, thanks!” Gu Qingcheng said to Lin Nuan.

He knew that when Yun Liuli was attending school in Haicheng previously, Lin Nuan had taken care of her, even regarding her as her younger sister. He felt grateful toward Lin Nuan regarding that.

Gu Qingcheng walked Lin Nuan to the door. Lin Nuan turned back and looked at Gu Qingcheng. “That year you left Liuli all alone in Haicheng, I know it was because you’re afraid of giving Liuli false hope and holding the child up! But now, Liuli has the mentality of a seven-year-old child. I can tell that other than her father, she’s very reliant on you. Treat her well now while you can!”

Gu Qingcheng nodded. “I got it!”

“If you need any help, feel free to call Huai’an or me. If you want someone trustworthy to take care of Liuli with you, I can invite Auntie Li back for a while! After all, it’s exhausting to take care of an injured person. I’m worried you might not be able to take it if you stay here 24/7. You need someone to rotate shifts with you!”

Lin Nuan was a woman, so she was more thoughtful than Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng couldn’t possibly take care of Yun Liuli 24/7. What if Yun Liuli wanted to shower? Gu Qingcheng himself needed to go back and wash up too.

Gu Qingcheng thought about it, then nodded, his voice solemn as he said, “I’ll trouble you in that case!”

In Haicheng, the housekeeper Gu Qingcheng hired for his Cloud Top Condominium apartment merely cooked for him and filled his fridge with groceries, then cleaned up and left! There wasn’t really any trust to speak of!

Gu Qingcheng would be even more worried if he left Yun Liuli in the care of an unknown caretaker.

But Auntie Li was different. Auntie Li was hired by Fu Huai’an and had taken care of Tuan Tuan for many years…

She was in her fifties, so she was reliable and meticulous. Otherwise, Fu Huai’an wouldn’t have employed her for so many years. Before Auntie Li left, he even gave her a large red packet.

After Lin Nuan left, Gu Qingcheng went back to the ward and saw the young lady fidgeting with his phone using the hand that had the IV drip inserted.

Seeing Gu Qingcheng enter, the young lady gazed at him with her bright and sparkly eyes. She seemed as excited as a Colombus who had just discovered a new continent. “Uncle Qingcheng… what is this! It looks so fun!”

Gu Qingcheng watched as the young lady swiped across the phone screen, her eyes full of delight.

He thought of how, when the young lady was seven years old, she likely hadn’t seen a touchscreen phone like this. Gu Qingcheng walked over and gently explained that it was a phone, then asked her if she wanted to play a game.

Yun Liuli nodded and said, “In the past, I used to use Daddy’s phone to play Tetris! I like that very much!”

“Okay, then let’s play Tetris.”

Gu Qingcheng downloaded the game for Yun Liuli, then sat behind her, letting the young lady lean against his chest as he taught her how to play Tetris on the touchscreen phone, step by step.
