Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 151 Gungun’s Wish (II)

Yan Hua is shocked, she looks the girl for a moment in Lang Ruoxian’s arms before asking. “Did you kick her too hard just now?”

The little girl on the carpet doesn’t move for a long time, making Yan Hua want to go and have a look.

“It’s alright. She’s still wild, and needs lessons.” Lang Ruoxian pulls her onto the sofa. “I want her to protect Gungun.”

Yan Hua freezes. “But she is a girl...”

“An eight-year-old girl that can hit 10 bodyguards.” Lang Ruoxian says. “She’s been kept by wolves for five years, and she’s eight.”

“Why?” Yan Hua doesn’t quite understand. Such a young girl can be a playmate of Gungun rather than a bodyguard.

Lang Ruoxian holds her in arms. “If our second child turns out to be a girl, who will inherit the Lang Consortium? Could it be Gungun?”

“Well...” For a moment Yan Hua feels that the Lang Family’s future is quite uncertain.

Gungun is now still stupid and sweet. Yan Hua knows that the president is raised from childhood, but she can’t bear to change Gungun’s nature.

“What if we have another son?”

“It’s up to future.” Lang Ruoxian kisses her. “Besides, even if we have another son, Gungun will need someone to protect him.”

Yan Hua blinks. “Don’t you mean to treat the child as our daughter-in-law?”

“Don’t you like her?” Lang Ruoxian asks. “She will be beautiful as long as we take care of her.”

“That’s not the point, okay?” Yan Hua rubs between her eyebrows. “Did you ask the children for their opinion?”

Alright... If he did ask them, he’s afraid they would not understand.

“If Gungun marries her, she will be the one to manage the Lang Consortium, in case there isn’t a second son to inherit the family fortune.” Lang Ruoxian’s idea really surprises her.

“Aren’t you afraid she will annex the assets of Lang Family?”

“Nothing to be afraid of. Her surname is Lang anyway.” Lang Ruoxian looks at the little girl who is lying dead on the ground. “Hua, will you give her a name?”

Yan Hua doesn’t know what to say... This guy is... so insidious!

He is to raise a child bride for Gungun from a young age. The girl is not only responsible for protecting his son, but also to serve his group with heart and soul in the future. She just returns to human society, and when her wildness fades, she will be a blank slate!

She will be what she is taught by the Lang Family. Even if Gungun doesn’t like her later, she will be their daughter and won’t betray the family after all.

“Why should I bring her food?” When Gungun comes back from school, he is told to take care of a little girl in his family in the future.

Clearly I’m the one who needs to take care of!

“Do you want to play every day in the future and not to work hard in the company as me?” Lang Ruoxian asks him. “Mingxi studies hard, because he has a lot of matters to do. If someone can do things for you in the future, you can play each day and do whatever you want.”

Gungun becomes excited. “I want to be a princess!”

“Then I will shoot you first and have another girl.” Lang Ruoxian looks at his unfortunate son coldly, wondering why he has produced such a weird thing.

Gungun thinks for a moment and says. “What if she doesn’t listen to me?”

“So you have to take care of her and make her love you, so she will do everything for you in the future.” Lang Ruoxian spares no effort to dig a hole for his son.

Then, Gungun jumps into the hole happily. He takes food each day for the little girl hidden in the room. At first she bares her teeth at him, but later she drops her guard and accepts his feed when she finds that he is the only one in the family who has food and no threat at all.

One year later.

“Wuyou, let’s go for ice cream after school!” Gungun walks ahead in the school uniform, and behind him is the little girl in the same clothes.

Lang Wuyou, is a name given by Yan Hua. Its implication is that the girl who experiences hardship as a child can be carefree in her future life. Wuyou, the girl, began to accept that she was human six months ago, though she didn’t speak to anyone but her families so far.

She begins to integrate into society, and in the summer goes to primary school, where she is in the same class as Gungun.

“Wuyou, you have no study foundation, so we invite a tutor to come home to teach you first, alright?” Yan Hua is talking to the girl.

Wuyou frowns. She becomes pretty after months of pampering as her skin turns white and red and her features beautiful. She has a pair of big eyes, which are bright but always calm and cold.

“Mom, I want to be with Gungun.” Wuyou knows that the woman in front of her is not her real mother, but she has been kept by wolves before being adopted by the Lang Family.

Her mother is good to her, and father teaches her a plenty of lessons although he always looks cold. Also...

“Don’t I need to protect Gungun? I should be in his class.” Wuyou doesn’t feel sad but willingly when she realizes the purpose of her existence is to Gungun.

As a wolf, Gungun is the Wolf King of her own territory, and she will bear wolf cubs with him when she grows up.

She will do anything for her own Wolf King!

“But it will be too hard for you.” Yan Hua touches her head. “Don’t listen to Gungun. You are our child, just like him. You can do whatever you like, and never mind him.”

Though she knows Lang Ruoxian’s intention, she can’t bear to burden Wuyou, who is innocent and shall not take the responsibility that belongs to Gungun.

“I can take the exam.” Wuyou says. “If I pass it, will I be able to attend the same class as Gungun?”

Yan Hua freezes for a second. “Gungun will start the first grade, but you haven’t learned anything before.”

“Let me try, Mom!” Wuyou says. “I use the tablet and I can read a lot of words.”

“Alright!” Yan Hua smiles. “I’ll find you the textbook, and you take the exam with Gungun.”

Therefore, nine-year-old Wuyou goes to the first grade with her seven-year-old brother Gungun.

“Have you caught my words?” Seeing Wuyou speechless for a while, Gungun steps back to join her. “We’re off school earlier today. Let’s sneak in some ice cream and then go to the school gate. The driver won’t notice.”

Wuyou touches his head. “Mom told me you had cold drink twice this week and can’t take more.”

“Mom won’t know if you don’t say!” Gungun puts his head onto her neck. “Please! I want one!”

“Mom said you couldn’t play the coquetry to me.” Wuyou says, carefully holding on to Gungun’s shoulders, lest he might falter and fall.

Gungun curls his lips. “I just have half an ice cream and you take the rest of the half, okay?”

Ten minutes later, these two kids sit in a cold-drink shop across from the school. Gungun scoops up a spoonful of vanilla ice cream and swallows it happily. “Wuyou! I want to be an ice cream seller in future, so we can eat it every day!”

“But the cold-drink shop works late. You’ll miss the cartoons.” Wuyou wipes his mouth.

Gungun blinks. “Then you sell ice cream so I can have it each day.”

“OK.” Wuyou nods, feeling that they can take cold drinks every day when they grow up.

Gungun quickly and happily offers her a scoop of ice cream. “Your turn!”

The two children nibble away at the ice cream while three men come into the door. Gungun doesn’t notice them, but Wuyou tightens up and stares at them fiercely.

“What’s up, Wuyou?” Gungun knows it’s her instinctive reaction when she smells danger. He is about to turn around when Wuyou pulls him behind her.

Those three men knock the clerk unconscious and rush to them.

Gungun runs to the side rapidly and picks up the popcorn to eat and shout. “Wuyou, come on! Kick him! There, him!”

He is not afraid at all as Wuyou can hit 10 bodyguards!

“Watch out! Gungun!” It’s where extreme joy begets sorrow.

Knowing they can’t beat a child, these three men become angry from embarrassment. One of them takes out a gun and starts shooting at random after being kicked by Wuyou.

Wuyou’s face changes, seeing a bullet flying toward Gungun. She jumps in front of him before he can react.

“Wuyou...” Gungun hears a bang and sees Wuyou fall in front of him with her chest turning red.

Gungun squats down dully, and touches her with his hand. His tears begin to fall when he feels her thick blood. He cries out her name while the bodyguards arrive to subdue the gang and then take Wuyou to hospital.

“You don’t touch her! Don’t touch!” As Gungun clings to his sister, the bodyguards have no choice but to load him too in an ambulance.

When Lang Ruoxian and Yan Hua arrive at the hospital, they see their son lying on the operating table and several doctors beg him to leave.

“Gungun.” Lang Ruoxian pushes the door open. “Get down.”

Gungun doesn’t move.

“If you don’t get down, Wuyou would die!”

“She won’t die!” Gungun reacts and cries out. “She’s asleep! She’s asleep!”

Yan Hua goes to her knees and looks at her son’s tearful face. “Gungun, Wuyou is hurt and doctors are going to operate on her. If you lie there, Wuyou won’t wake up without operation.”

“Mommy...” Gungun holds out his hand which is covered with blood.

Yan Hua takes his hand and smiles reluctantly. “Dear, go out with mommy. Wuyou will wake up after you wash clean and change clothes.”

“Really?” Gungun dabs at his face.

Yan Hua picks him up. “Of course it is. When did, Mommy lie to you?”

Gungun thinks his mom tricks him because by the time he takes a shower and goes to hospital after changing his clothes, Wuyou is not yet wake up. She looks like sleeping peacefully lying in the ward.

“Why doesn’t she wake up?” He asks the doctor next morning, holding him by the sleeve.

The doctor replies quickly. “Soon! Soon she will wake up!”

“Really?”

“The anesthetic is almost over, and she’ll wake up soon...”

No sooner has the doctor finished than Gungun sees Wuyou moves her eyes. He leans over excitedly and whispers. “Wuyou, Wuyou, Wuyou...”

“Gungun...” Wuyou opens her eyes and smiles at him.

Gungun hears the sound of blooming flowers!
