Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 212 You Are My Sister

The six-year-old Gungun doesn’t clearly know about the concept of having a little sister at home.

“She doesn’t have a home? Why does she want to live in our house?”

“Because we will be her father and mother in the future, and Gungun will be her younger brother. Your grandparents, uncle and great-grandma are also your sister’s relatives.” Yan Hua tries to make her son understand.

“You will have one more sister, that is, one more relative to play with and to protect you.”

Gungun seriously thinks for a while and says solemnly, “Mom, although I want a sister, you can’t take other people’s children. Her parents will miss her.”

Yan Hua smiles and kisses her son’s small face.

She thinks that even if her son can’t do anything in the future, he will be a good boy as long as he is kind and has the right values.

“Gungun, your sister has no parents. She is alone and has no place to live. No one loves her, gives her fruits to eat, bathes her or buys toys for her.”

Gungun’s eyes open wide and he says, “Then we want her! Let her come to our house!”

“Mom is telling you about this. If you agree, we shall let her come next week, and then you can play and go to school together later.”

Gungun curls his lips. He still doesn’t want to go to school.

Yan Hua doesn’t correct his mood, for he has to go to school when the time comes, anyway. When he sees other children, he will know that this is a necessary experience in life.

“That’s it.” In the sitting room, Lang Ruoxian also explains the situation. “Hua gave her a name Lang Wuyou.”

“Joy without worry.” Chang Pei’e nods. “It’s a pleasant name.”

This is a great event. Tang Yao and Tang Cao, the two have no voice also keep silent, looking at Bai Susu and waiting for her to make a decision.

“Since you and Hua agree, of course we have no objection.” Bai Susu says, “We can afford to bring her up, but we have to discipline her attentively. In case she is really like what you say, to manage the company in the future...”

“I understand what you mean.” Lang Ruoxian answers, “If the child had not been in the wolves, I might not think so. Wolves are very loyal animals. As long as she is tamed, she will never betray us.”

Chang Pei’e exclaims, “Don’t talk so severely. It’s just a child!”

So Lang Ruoxian goes to arrange it. Everyone is looking forward to it, especially Gungun. He has no friends in Yanjing and follows Tang Cao to play all day long. But the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and Tang Cao also starts to go out every day.

In his words, everything has recovered and it is time for loafing about.

On April 1, April Fool’s Day, Tang Family ushers in a new member. Shu Sheng goes to pick her up in person, but the first meeting is obviously different from what they imagined...

“How thin she is! She is 8 years old?” Chang Pei’e looks at the little girl in the middle of the sitting room. The senior always love kids. “She’s too small. She looks not so strong as our Gungun.”

The little girl’s hair is short, and her face looks smaller when hair covers her face. She looks emaciated, but her eyes are flashing cold light. She stares at each of them warily.

“Does she still not accept human beings?” Yan Hua asks in a low voice.

Lang Ruoxian stands up, and with his actions the little girl obviously wants to bow up, but she thinks of something and quiets down again. Her eyes look straight at Lang Ruoxian, her hands on both sides, very nervous.

“You understand what I say, don’t you?” Lang Ruoxian walks up to the little girl and looks at her from a commanding position. “After several months of training, if you still cannot integrate into human society, then I have to throw you back into the mountains and let you continue to live a life without food.”

When she hears the word “food” again, the little girl’s ears move obviously. She slowly raises her head and looks at Lang Ruoxian. “Wuyou, obedient, give meat.”

“Her ears can move!” The key point of Tang Cao is this. “Is it really the habit of animals?”

Lang Ruoxian reaches out to put his hand on the little girl’s head, and everyone sees her body freeze again, apparently enduring.

“Very good, Wuyou. This is your home from today on. All present are your relatives. You must remember not to hurt them, or you will be put in a cage and have no meat to eat.”

Yan Hua pulls Lang Ruoxian’s sleeve, and Lang Ruoxian grabs her hand. “Her brutish nature hasn’t been tamed. She will easily attack people without severe warning.”

“Don’t be so fierce, let’s take it slowly.” Yan Hua crouches down and waves to Gungun. “Come on, come and say hello to your little sister.”

Gungun has long wanted to run over, but Bai Susu has been holding him.

“Is it all right?” Bai Susu is not quite at ease.

Yan Hua nods. “First of all, we have to trust her. She is my daughter.”

Then she slowly stretches out her hand to touch Wuyou’s face. Wuyou looks at Yan Hua blankly and suddenly rubs her hand.

“Good girl!” Yan Hua smiles, “I am your mom.”

“I also want it! I want it, too!” Gungun runs over. “I’m your younger brother!” As he speaks, he also reaches out his hand to Wuyou’s face. Wuyou’s eyes slowly focus on Gungun, but she doesn’t rub him.

Gungun is unhappy and is about to ask why not rubbing Gungun. Then he sees Wuyou open mouth, and then a low voice comes.

“Gun, Gun.”

Yan Hua is surprised. She looks at Lang Ruoxian.

“When training, the impression of Gungun is especially deepened.” Lang Ruoxian is very satisfied with Wuyou’s performance. It seems that the training is very successful.

Gungun is her focus. It is not because he is cruel. For now, the child’s purpose is to be a playmate and bodyguard for Gungun. No one can say for sure what will happen in the future.

“Sister?” Gungun is so happy that he doesn’t mind Wuyou not rubbing his hand. He just grabs the girl and calls her, “Wuyou, my sister!”

Wuyou looks at the hand held and endures not to shake off. A voice in her head tells her that this is her younger brother, a very important person, more important than her own life. She cannot scratch him, otherwise she will be locked up and will have no meat to eat.

“Come on, I’ll show you to your room.” Yan Hua has tidied up a room for Wuyou the next door to Gungun’s room. She also satisfies her little princess’s dream and decorates it with pink color.

When they go up, Tang Cao chirps. “Our family is also a werewolf’s family. We’ll show off later.”

“I’m going to take Wuyou to horse racing!” Tang Yao is even more exaggerating. “Let her scare the horse which runs fast.”

Bai Susu squints at the two men. “Wuyou is your niece, a child of our family. From today on, no one is allowed to mention that she is a wolf child. Do you hear me? Especially the two of you.”

“I didn’t mention it!” Tang Yao betrays his son without any compunction. “Xiaocao said it. Beat him!”

Chang Pei’e turns the Buddha beads in her hand. “A predestined relationship, for 100 years, will bring a man and a woman in the same boat; and for 1,000 years, will tie them in wedlock. The fate of previous life makes us become a family. Susu is right. Since Wuyou is already a child of our family, we must forget all about her past and help her start over.”

“We have formal adoption procedures, and no one will know that she has been raised by wolves for several years. The records from Dian Province show that she was adopted by a welfare institution, and then we take her back to become our adopted daughter.”

Bai Susu takes a sip of fruit tea. “Yes, it’s better to be considerate. People like us can’t be careless at all, so as not to give people handles in the future.”

“I’ll ask the house maid to prepare more meat for dinner.” Bai Susu says and goes to the kitchen. “The child is too thin, and needs nutrition.”

At dinner time, only Yan Hua and Gungun go downstairs.

“Why? She won’t come out?”

Yan Hua is somewhat helpless. “She hides in the cloakroom and doesn’t move whatever we say. She still seems to be afraid.”

“Ah, poor girl.” Chang Pei’e takes a bowl and puts a chicken leg in it. “We’ll give the child some time until she can accept us.”

Bai Susu puts a bowl of rice and vegetables on the tray, and then puts in chicken legs and a big elbow. “Send her this, Hua!”

“I’ll eat with my sister!” Gungun takes up his small bowl.

Yan Hua thinks for a moment and feels it will be fine. “Then you will accompany your sister upstairs for dinner these days. You should take more care of her. Although she is your elder sister, she just comes to our house. She might not be used to the life here.”

“Rest assured!” Gungun pats his small chest. “I’ll take care of my sister just like Xiaojiu takes care of me.”

So Gungun accompanies Wuyou to eat every day. Not only that, he also stops going out with Tang Cao and stays with Wuyou every day. For a whole month, Wuyou doesn’t leave the room, until this day...

“Wuyou, you wait for me to get the ice cream!” When it is time to eat snacks, Gungun is ready to go downstairs to get snacks. But he runs too fast. He just steps down a few steps before he stumbles, so he falls head down.

“Gungun!” Yan Hua downstairs runs up with a scream, but it is too late.

At that time, a figure whizzes past behind Gungun. Then Wuyou sits on the steps holding Gungun. Because Gungun is taller and fatter than she is, the little girl flushes with exerting all her strength. She tries her best to hold Gungun without giving up.

“Wuyou!” Gungun gets a fright, but when he finds nothing wrong, he says happily, “You are finally willing to come out!”

Yan Hua runs up at this moment, holding the two children in her arms in terror. “Gungun!” She says sternly, “Don’t run on the stairs in the future. You’ve scared mom to death.”

“Gungun, not afraid, Wuyou, catch.” Wuyou seriously says to Yan Hua, “No beating, Gungun.”

Yan Hua is stunned, then her heart softens.

“Mom won’t beat Gungun. Wuyou is really great. Wuyou can protect your brother.”

Gungun holds Wuyou. “Wuyou, come downstairs with me and find Great-grandma. She looks forward to seeing you.”

Yan Hua carefully looks at Wuyou. The little girl hesitates for a while, then nods with the expression of facing death unflinchingly.

Everyone is very happy to know that Wuyou steps out of the room, which means that the little girl begins to accept them. After another month, Yan Hua decides to let the teachers come home to make up lessons for her two children.

“Gungun is fine. He just needs make up for pre-school knowledge. But Wuyou didn’t go to school before. I’m afraid two months is not enough.” In the evening, Yan Hua lies in Lang Ruoxian’s arms, worrying. “Should she go to school a year later?”

“No way.” Lang Ruoxian bows his head and kisses Yan Hua. “She must be with Gungun. Besides going to school, she must also serve as a bodyguard.”
