Chapter 2206: Chapter 2206: Leaving a Scar
Little Yuanbao just stared at Gu Ya with big, bright eyes, unwilling to call him dad. It was only after Su Yunjin spent a long time coaxing him that the little one finally called out to Gu Ya.
"Dad—!"
Little Yuanbao called out in a soft, childish voice, and after speaking, he burrowed his small head into his mother’s embrace.
Su Yunjin felt a bit helpless, but Gu Ya didn’t mind, "Yunjin, in a few days, when they get familiar, they will call me."
Su Yunjin nodded, "For now, this is the best we can do!"
Originally, Su Yunjin thought Little Tiangua, like Little Yuanbao, wouldn’t recognize her father either. Unexpectedly, after Little Tiangua woke up, she looked at Gu Ya and crisply called him dad.
The little girl called out particularly loudly, and Gu Ya gave her a kiss. The little girl was so delighted that she called out even louder.
Seeing the smiles on the father and daughter’s faces, Su Yunjin couldn’t help but smile as well. With Gu Ya back and the two children by her side, Su Yunjin felt nothing could be more satisfying.
Gu Ya briefly recounted what happened in Jincheng to Su Yunjin. He described the dangers lightly, but Su Yunjin’s heart was in her throat.
When she heard that Gu Ya took an arrow in the back from an assassin while protecting the emperor, Su Yunjin was terrified.
"Husband, you got injured? Quick, let me see your wound!" Su Yunjin said as she hurried to uncover Gu Ya’s clothes to check his injury.
Gu Ya held his young wife’s hand with one hand, pulling her into his embrace with the other. "Yunjin, don’t worry, I’m fine. My wound has long since healed."
Had the wound not healed, Gu Ya wouldn’t have mentioned it to his young wife. Still, Su Yunjin was worried. Despite Gu Ya saying his wound was healed, Su Yunjin still wanted to see it.
"Husband, let me see, take off your clothes, let me see your wound!" Su Yunjin stood up from Gu Ya’s embrace, insisting on checking his wound.
Gu Ya couldn’t argue against his young wife, so to put her at ease, he removed his outer robe to show her the arrow wound on his back.
Looking at the already healed wound, although it had indeed healed long ago, the scar was still clearly visible, with a diagonal mark left on it. It was evident that the wound back then hadn’t been light.
"Husband, you promised me you would take care of yourself, so why did you get hurt again this time?" The last time Gu Ya left, he was almost assassinated, and now it happened again.
Su Yunjin touched the wound on Gu Ya’s back, feeling both heartache and anger. She was distressed that Gu Ya was injured, angry that Gu Ya had promised her, yet still failed to protect himself!
Gu Ya suddenly regretted it, had he known, he wouldn’t have told her about this injury, to save his young wife from worry again.
"Yunjin, the wound has already healed, be good, don’t be sad!" Gu Ya gently comforted his young wife, but Su Yunjin was still heartbroken.
Thinking of the scar-removing ointment in the room, Su Yunjin planned to get it to apply on Gu Ya, "Husband, wait, I’ll get the ointment for you."
"Yunjin, the wound is all healed, there’s no need to apply the ointment!" Gu Ya stopped his young wife.
Su Yunjin said, "Husband, I’ll get the scar-removing ointment. Although the wound on your back has indeed healed, it left a scar. I’ll get the ointment to apply, and it will surely remove the scar."
Gu Ya, being a man, didn’t mind having a scar on his back, "Yunjin, it’s normal for a man to have some scars, don’t worry." In the past when hunting, getting injured and leaving scars was common, Gu Ya was used to it!
