Tang Mo’er glanced at the scene ahead of her. Gu Mohan was standing there and a pretty girl was kneeling in front of him and wiping off the footprints marks on his trousers with her hand.
Her expression was filled with smitten admiration.
Tang Mo’er stopped in her tracks.
Lin Shiyu had also witnessed this scene. She promptly curved her pretty red lips, arched her brows and looked at Tang Mo’er. “Mo’er, I heard that you have been filming and neglected President Gu. President Gu is a hot-blooded man and because of your neglect, his sexual life is unbalanced. His hormones may start to become astray and those butterflies would undoubtedly be attracted to him.”
“…”
It was true Tang Mo’er had been very busy lately. On one hand, King-back would be listed locally soon. On the other hand, she was busy filming a fantasy martial arts drama with Su Zhe under Universal Entertainment. This time, she had come to Mexico for filming purposes too.
During this period of time that she was filming, she had not spent much time with Gu Mohan. She did not think that there would be a butterfly flitting around him.
At this moment, Fu Qinglun cleared his throat. “Shi’shi, you’re here.”
Gu Mohan turned around to look. Tang Mo’er was here too.
Almost immediately, his deep and narrow eyes revealed a hint of tenderness. He walked ahead and held Tang Mo’er’s delicate hand. It had been a week since he had last seen her. When she was filming, he could only visit her at work.
Tang Mo’er glanced at Gu Mohan and forcefully withdrew her hand.
Gu Mohan froze. What happened to her?
Why was she so angry for no rhyme or reason?
Lin Shiyu looked at Gu Mohan’s befuddled expression and smiled. “President Gu, who is this?”
Xiao Zhu was wearing a long dress. Her skin was fair and she had a pretty face. She was the type of girl that successful company presidents in the corporate world would like to pursue.
Gu Mohan’s handsome face was devoid of any expression and he remained calm and composed. He had only seen Xiao Zhu for the first time today, and he did not even take a proper look at her. In addition, he was used to being served by others, so when Xiao Zhu bent to clean off the footprints for him, he did not think much of it.
She belonged to Fu Qinglun, so what did she have to do with him?
“Her name is Xiao Zhu and she’s going to be your surrogate mother,” Gu Mohan replied.
Surrogate mother?
Lin Shiyu looked towards Fu Qinglun.
Fu Qinglun promptly straightened himself. “Mohan found her for me. I’ve only just seen her. Mohan was saying that she is young, beautiful and intelligent and a cut above the rest.”
In dire situations, Fu Qinglun betrayed Gu Mohan in an instant. Gu Mohan was highly astute, especially when a hole was dug in front of Tang Mo’er for him to jump in.
He immediately narrowed his eyes and glanced at Fu Qinglun, and then his gaze landed on Xiao Zhu.
Xiao Zhu saw that he was looking at her and her large eyes sparkled at him seductively.
Gu Mohan comprehended the situation now. He looked at Lin Shiyu and curved his thin lips. “Qinglun has already told me that the surrogate mother needs to be young, beautiful and intelligent. I was just following his instructions.”
Fu Qinglun’s expression instantly changed.
What? He had actually framed him?
Sh*t!
Lin Shiyu and Tang Mo’er looked at each other. “…”
…
While the tension outside was highly-strung, in contrast, the atmosphere in the room was warm and happy. Little Lemon was hugging a little doll. This was a present Elder Brother Niuniu had given her and she liked it a lot.
“Elder Brother Niuniu, I’ve become bald. Do you still like me?” Little Lemon was very troubled and afraid that Elder Brother Niuniu would not like her anymore.
Little Gu Yelin was wearing a white shirt and suspender trousers. He looked every inch a handsome and elegant little gentleman. As he grew older, he became more mature, and he portrayed an astuteness and high intelligence that was not typical of a child his age.
Hearing her words, Little Gu Yelin looked at Little Lemon. “No, Little Lemon is still the most beautiful and Elder Brother Niuniu still likes you.”
“Really?” Little Lemon promptly broke into a sweet smile. “Elder Brother Niuniu, then I will like you even more.”
…
The first session of Little Lemon’s chemotherapy treatment went well. Little Lemon was a strong and optimistic child and she was cooperative throughout the treatment.
At night, Sikong said, “Ah Sen, you have to rush back now. It’s imperative for you to create a child. I will take care of matters here.”
Lin Shiyu was still worried. “I want to stay here to look after Little Lemon.”
“Shi’shi, I’ll stay here to accompany Little Lemon. You go back with Young Master Fu first,” Tang Mo’er said.
Seeing that Tang Mo’er was staying behind, Gu Mohan promptly said, “I’ll stay here too.”
“Don’t make a fuss now, I will stay here to accompany Little Lemon. All of you go back to your own homes.” At this moment, Little Gu Yelin chased them out and closed the door.
“…”
There was Sikong, the nurses and Little Gu Yelin to look after Little Lemon. It was true that they would not be of much use staying here.
Tang Mo’er looked at Lin Shiyu. “Shi’shi, we haven’t met for a long time. Do you want to have a chat?”
“Sure, shall we go to your place or my place?”
The two neglected men, Gu Mohan and Fu Qinglun, shot a glance at each other, then walked ahead in unison. Gu Mohan bent his body, picked up Tang Mo’er and walked ahead immediately.
“Hey, Mo’er!”
Lin Shiyu was shocked. She wanted to call out to Mo’er, but Fu Qinglun held her delicate hand and brought her away.
Like that, Little Gu Yelin had become the prophet. Everyone really returned to their own homes.
…
At the Guding Castle.
Lin Shiyu was brought into the master bedroom. She took a hot shower and emerged wearing a set of pajamas.
The set of pajamas was prepared by the servant. It was a set of black silk pajamas, and it was uncertain it was the intention of Old Madam or Fu Qinglun to let her wear it. There was a belt at the waist, which accentuated her svelte waist. The neckline was a plunging ‘V’, and the skirt beneath fell to the goat’s fur carpet. With every step she took, the skirt swished about alluringly.
Such a black color was suitable for an aloof and beautiful woman like her.
She sat on the carpet and opened today’s note. It was Fu Qinglun’s daily love words —- If you hate me, you can use the rest of your life to punish me. We’re using one child’s birth to treat another child’s illness. I’m crazy over you and my heart is broken because of you. I’ll cherish you forever.
Lin Shiyu’s delicate fingers gradually touched his handwriting on the note, and her fingers stopped at the last few words —- I’ll cherish you forever.
To not have any regrets in life, and to merely love someone and be loved.
This was the perfect life of a woman.
Lin Shiyu gently rested her head on the coffee table. Her wavy hair cascaded around her smooth shoulders. She gently closed her eyes and two drops of luminous tears fell into her palms.
Life felt like a dream to her. She suddenly felt tired, and she just wanted to live a simple life from now on.
Did she hate him?
Of course she did.
But if there was no love for him, why would she hate him?
All these years, she had never forgiven him. But it was undeniable that she had also never forgotten her love for him.
