Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Mr. Gu, Are You Hiding a Washboard Here?

Professor Wang’s hoarse voice, like a broken gong, echoed in the quiet yard.

“This child cannot be raised at home! Send him to the Science Academy!”

The smile on Lin Wan Yi’s face completely disappeared.

She stepped forward, subtly shielding Gu An’s small body behind her.

“Professor Wang, An An is not even a year old.”

Her voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable firmness.

“What he needs is a mother, not the Science Academy.”

Gu Yanshen also stood with a stern face, silently standing by his wife’s side.

His tall figure, like a mountain, exuded a silent pressure.

The attitude was clear: whoever dares to touch my son must step over me first.

Professor Wang, blocked by their aura, slightly calmed his excitement.

But the fervor in his eyes showed no sign of fading.

“Mr. Lin, you’re being foolish!”

He stomped his feet, anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

“This is a genius! A national treasure! Raising him at home is a waste of his talents!”

“He is first and foremost my son.”

Lin Wan Yi looked directly at him, refusing to budge an inch.

“I don’t need him to become any national treasure; I just hope he grows up safe and healthy.”

“But he’s different!”

Professor Wang pointed to the blocks on the ground, heartbroken.

“Ordinary children at his age can’t even grasp steadily! And him? He’s contemplating mechanical structures! Can you raise him like an ordinary child?”

Gu Yanshen finally spoke, his voice as cold as ice.

“My son, I will raise him however I wish.”

He looked at Professor Wang.

“No need for Professor Wang to worry.”

The words were extremely blunt.

Professor Wang’s face went red and white.

He knew he had been too excited and also knew this couple was notorious for protecting their child.

Forcibly taking him was definitely out of the question.

His eyes rolled, and he immediately put on an affectionate smile.

“Oh, look at me, I just got too excited.”

He rubbed his hands together, softening his stance.

“Mr. Gu, Mr. Lin, don’t get me wrong.”

“I’m not trying to take the child, absolutely not.”

“I’m just… I was just excited to see such talent, excited!”

He sighed, full of regret.

“Such a promising child, I’m truly afraid he will be buried.”

“How about this,” he changed his tone, “I won’t bring up the Science Academy anymore.”

“Tomorrow, I’ll bring a few old friends over, all researchers, just to… come and see the child, okay?”

“We’ll just look, pure observation, absolutely no touching!”

Professor Wang raised three fingers, swearing earnestly.

This was not just a visit to look at the child; it was clearly bringing an “expert assessment team” for inspection.

Lin Wan Yi’s mind was as clear as a mirror.

However, since Professor Wang had put it this way, portrayed with such a heart for talent, outright refusal would make them seem unkind.

Besides, with Professor Wang’s stubbornness, even if they refused today, he would find other ways tomorrow.

Lin Wan Yi glanced at Gu Yanshen.

Gu Yanshen kept a stern face, saying nothing, but his eyes conveyed: it’s your decision.

“Okay.”

Lin Wan Yi finally nodded.

“Then it’s trouble for Professor Wang and your friends to make a trip, but it has to wait until the children wake up.”

“No problem! No problem!”

Professor Wang was overjoyed, having achieved his goal, he didn’t stay any longer.

“Then I won’t disturb you anymore, I must hurry back to tell them this good news! See you tomorrow!”

After speaking, he rushed out of the yard like the wind, his silhouette filled with impatient excitement.

The yard finally quieted down.

Lin Wan Yi let out a long sigh.

Dealing with one Professor Wang was exhausting enough; tomorrow a whole “professor team” would come.

She rubbed her tense temples, only feeling a headache.

Suddenly, a warm, dry hand covered hers.

At some point, Gu Yanshen had walked behind her, taking her hand off her temple, replacing it with his own, massaging with just the right pressure.

“Tired?”

His deep voice sounded in her ear.

The warm breath brushed past her ear, and Lin Wan Yi’s body stiffened slightly.

“A little.”

She answered honestly.

“Go and rest.”

Gu Yanshen, leaving no room for refusal, pulled her, seating her on a wicker chair in the yard.

He himself then squatted in front of her, letting her lean on his broad shoulder.

“If you don’t want to see them, I’ll stop them at the door tomorrow.”

His voice was filled with unabashed dominance and protection.

The scent of his fresh and pleasant smell lingered at Lin Wan Yi’s nose.

A mix of sunlight and soap, it slowly relaxed her tense nerves.

She turned her face, leaning on his shoulder, looking at his resolute side profile so close.

“That’s unnecessary, you can avoid the first day but not the fifteenth.”

Her voice carried a bit of a lazy nasal tone.

Gu Yanshen didn’t speak further, simply allowing her to lean on him quietly.

Lin Wan Yi’s heart softened all at once.

This man, usually silent like a gourd, every time she needed him, he always gave her the most solid support with the most direct actions.

Her fingers began to unconsciously slide gently on his tough military uniform.

Through the thin layer of fabric, she could clearly feel the contours of his muscles.

Lin Wan Yi suddenly had a playful thought.

Her hand, along his shoulder, slowly slid down, like a curious cat, drawing circles on his chest.

She could feel the muscles under her tensing instantly.

Gu Yanshen’s breath faltered.

He grabbed her mischievous hand.

“Stop it.”

His voice was slightly hoarse.

Not only did Lin Wan Yi not stop, but she went even further.

Her other hand joined, more boldly lifting the hem of his uniform and ventured inside.

Her fingertips touched a piece of hot, firm skin.

It was the abs she had coveted for a long time.

One, two, three… Distinct contours and an amazing feel.

“Mr. Gu.”

She murmured in his ear, deliberately lowering her voice, a breath like orchids.

“Are you hiding a washboard here?”

Gu Yanshen’s body completely froze.

From the base of his ears to his neck, a suspicious red quickly spread.

He suddenly grabbed both of her unruly hands, lifting her up from the chair horizontally.

“You need to rest.”

His voice was taut, walking quickly toward the house.

Lin Wan Yi, in his arms, burst into giggles.

Seeing him in this innocent yet reserved manner, it was the best stress relief.

Night fell gradually.

The courtyard was silent, with only occasional insect chirps breaking the tranquility.

Lin Wan Yi had already fallen asleep, her breathing steady.

Gu Yanshen, however, hadn’t slept; he sat by the bed, watching his wife’s sleeping face in the faint moonlight filtering in.

Today, Professor Wang’s words also sounded an alarm for him.

The uniqueness of An An and Ning Ning could not be hidden after all.

This would bring honor, but also unknown dangers.

He had to become stronger to protect his wife and children.
