Reborn To Love

Chapter 127 Grounded

He Xinyan smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Mr. Husband!"

It was late at night when He Xinyan returned back to the He mansion. They were going to talk again tomorrow afternoon.

The next day, He Xinyan left for filming early in the morning and when she came back, it was almost time for dinner already.

She went upstairs to change into more comfortable clothes before going to Gu Yechen\'s house. When she walked back to the stairs, she saw Li Huiran walking over hurriedly from her room.

He Xinyan raised one eyebrow suspiciously and stopped walking.

Li Huiran slowed down a little when she saw He Xinyan, and she smiled.

"Go ahead," He Xinyan said with a smile. Li Huiran nodded and walked over to the stairs slowly. Without thinking much, He Xinyan followed her.

When they were about halfway down the stairs, they both heard the front door click open.

Suddenly, there was a scream.

"Ah!" Li Huiran seemed to have lost her balance as she stepped down a few steps and grasped the handrail tightly with both hands.

He Xinyan knit her eyebrows together as she froze, and the next second, Bai Jiawei ran over to the stairs.

"Huiran!"

Li Huiran let go of the handrail with one hand and used it to cover her stomach.

Bai Jiawei ran up the stairs and held onto Li Huiran, "Is the baby okay? Are you okay?"

Li Huiran was indeed very good at acting as she pressed her lips together, "My stomach hurts a little."

"Let\'s go to the hospital -"

"No!" Li Huiran suddenly looked up and realized she was a little too rushed, "I mean. . . It\'s okay. It just hurts a little. It will probably get better soon."

"We have to go to the hospital. What if the baby is hurt?"

Li Huiran let go of the handrail and grabbed onto Bai Jiawei\'s hands, "It\'s okay, Jiawei. I know my body. I didn\'t hurt the baby. It\'s fine."

He Xinyan almost wanted to laugh. Li Huiran was trying to scheme against her but ended up digging a hole for herself.

However, He Xinyan was up next.

Li Huiran glanced at He Xinyan and muttered, "I\'m sure Yanyan didn\'t do it on purpose."

Bai Jiawei glared at He Xinyan, "You pushed her?"

"No."

He Xinyan didn\'t even try to explain because she knew Bai Jiawei wouldn\'t believe her even if she did.

"It\'s okay, Jiawei. I\'m sure -"

"He Xinyan, how can you be so disrespectful?! Huiran is pregnant and you push her! That\'s very dangerous!"

He Xinyan sighed, "I said I didn\'t push her. Auntie Li, it\'s not good to lie."

Li Huiran looked away guiltily, "I. . . I\'m not lying."

"You! How are you my daughter?!" Bai Jiawei raised his arm up and looked like he was about to slap her, but he stopped midair.

"You are not eating dinner tonight! Go into your room and don\'t come out unless I tell you to."

He Xinyan scoffed, "Sure! Whatever you say!"

She turned around to leave but Bai Jiawei suddenly stopped her, "Apologize!"

He Xinyan smirked, "I apologize for standing five stairs away from you and watching you stupidly trip over yourself without helping you. Next time, I\'ll make sure to watch your feet for you because it is evident you don\'t know how to walk."

Li Huiran\'s lip twitched angrily and Bai Jiawei also widened his eyes in anger, "He -"

He Xinyan had already disappeared into her room and locked the door herself.

Bai Jiawei angrily walked with He Xinyan down the stairs and looked at a worker nearby, "You! Go watch over the young miss and make sure she doesn\'t leave the room."

The maid pressed her lips together and grudgingly nodded. She walked up the stairs and stopped in front of He Xinyan\'s room.

After the chatter coming from the dining room had begun did the maid knock on the door.

A few seconds later, it opened and He Xinyan showed up at the door in her pajamas. When she saw that it was a worker, He Xinyan\'s annoyance disappeared and she smiled.

"Are you here to watch over me?"

The young maid nodded, "Young miss, tell me if you need anything. If you are hungry, tell me what you want to eat. I can go get it for you."

He Xinyan smiled, "What\'s your name?"

"Wu Yun. I just came a month ago."

He Xinyan nodded her head, "Thank you, Wu Yun. I don\'t need anything."

As He Xinyan was about to close the door, the maid suddenly asked.

"Miss, did you push Madam Li?" Wu Yun probably realized she shouldn\'t have asked right away as she pressed her lips together.

"What do you think?"

"I don\'t think you did. . ."

He Xinyan grinned, "Why?"

"Well.. . . Madam Li doesn\'t seem really nice and well. . . you have always treated Madam Li really well. I don\'t think you would push her."

He Xinyan smiled, "Aren\'t you afraid I will tell them what you are saying?"

Wu Yun\'s eyes widened, "Young miss!"

He Xinyan laughed, "Don\'t worry. I completely agree with you!"

He Xinyan continued to chuckle as she closed the door and returned to her room. Did Bai Jiawei really think that she was going to stay inside this cramped room and starve herself?

No way!

He Xinyan pulled out her phone and opened it. She was about to click on a phone number when a call came.

She smiled sweetly. Their minds were definitely connected!

"Hello!"

"Where are you? The food is ready."

He Xinyan sat down onto her bed and rubbed her empty stomach, "I\'m grounded!"

"What?" It was evident that Gu Yechen\'s voice turned colder.

"Li Huiran said I pushed her but I didn\'t. Obviously, stupid Bai Jiawei believed her, so now I\'m locked inside my room."

There was a few seconds of silence before some shuffling and then, "Wait for me."

Gu Yechen hung up the call and He Xinyan satisfactorily smiled before putting down her phone. Now, all she had to do was wait for freedom!

Li Huiran and Li Yuyan were happily eating without He Xinyan at the table when the ringing of a doorbell interrupted them.

Bai Jiawei frowned slightly and looked at the worker standing nearby.

She immediately walked out of the dining room and to the door. After opening it, her mouth opened slightly from surprise at the man standing across from her.

So handsome. . .

Without even looking at the worker, Gu Yechen stepped into the house and straight for the dining room.

When he stepped in, four heads simultaneously turned around and looked at him.

Su Zhiming frowned when he saw Gu Yechen, and their eyes met in midair. Gu Yechen scoffed and looked away.

Stupid Su wasn\'t qualified enough to look at God Gu!

Bai Jiawei\'s eyes widened as he hurriedly wiped his mouth and stood up, "President Gu! What brings you here today?"

Gu Yechen put both hands into his pant pockets and glanced around the room.

Li Yuyan also stood up when Gu Yechen walked in and her eyes were sparkling as she looked at him. When Gu Yechen\'s gaze passed her, she embarrassedly looked down and her cheeks turned red.

Su Zhiming noticed all of this and scoffed.

Finally, Gu Yechen\'s eyes landed on Bai Jiawei.

"Where is my Yanyan?"

Bai Jiawei gulped and chuckled awkwardly, "She. . . She\'s upstairs in her room!"

"Why?"

"Be. . . because. . ."

Gu Yechen smirked and walked straight out of the dining room and up the stairs. His steps were strong and sturdy as he walked up and stopped in front of the room he slept in every night.

The maid gasped when she saw him and obediently stepped aside right away because Gu Yechen\'s presence was just too strong.

Gu Yechen knocked at the door and waited for a few seconds.

The door burst open and He Xinyan jumped up excitedly, "Gu Yechen!"

She hopped up and wrapped both legs around him in a hug, like a panda clinging to a tree. Bai Jiawei, Li Huiran, Li Yuyan, and Su Zhiming had followed Gu Yechen up the stairs, and they each had different expressions at the sight.

Su Zhiming and Li Yuyan frowned, Li Huiran knit her eyebrows together, and Bai Jiawei looked down awkwardly.

He Xinyan pouted and looked at Gu Yechen pitifully, "I\'m hungry."

Gu Yechen smiled warmly, "The food is ready."

They turned around with He Xinyan still clinging onto Gu Yechen and he walked over to the stairs. He looked down at the four people still on the stairs like a king looking at peasants.

With one look, all four people moved aside on the stairs.

"Um. . . President Gu. Yanyan made a mistake so she was getting punished." Although Bai Jiawei was trying to keep a strong stance, his voice got softer and softer with each word.

Gu Yechen lifted He Xinyan up a little using his arms and couldn\'t help but think that she was too light. He had to feed her more. . .

"What mistake?"

Li Huiran spoke this time, "Well, I\'m pregnant and Yanyan must have accidentally pushed me so I almost fell down the stairs."

"Accidentally?" Bai Jiawei knit his eyebrows together slightly, "It was on purpose."

Gu Yechen looked at He Xinyan, "Did you push her?"
