Gu Changge stood in the corridor.

The meeting adjourned, and some of the doctors and nurses on duty came out.

They met Gu Changge's gaze.

Although they hadn't seen each other for some years, they still recognized Gu Changge.

They walked past without saying hello.

...

They hadn't walked more than a few steps when the doctors and nurses started whispering among themselves.

"Isn't this Gu Changge? How dare she come back?!"

"How can she be so ashamed to come back? At least she gave birth to a son. Even if the whole hospital knows that she used her cunning to climb into the director's son's bed, even if she's shameless, she's still a mother whose status is enhanced by her son. She has every right to be in our hospital."

"Exactly! Besides, the dean dotes on his grandson so much. This grandson was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. As his mother, she has every right to be shameless and show off."

"She's been gone for so long, what right does she have to come back and embarrass herself? She's someone's son, raised by others, and she thinks she can just come back and reap the benefits?"

"It mainly depends on the dean's son's attitude! Back then, people hated her so much, but she shamelessly went after them. She kept pestering them until they got scared of her!"

"Maybe that's true. Anyway, shamelessness is invincible!"

"..."

Gu Changge heard all the sarcasm and ridicule.

Now, she can remain expressionless.

In the past, she would have been furious and argued with them, or retaliated in kind.

Perhaps those past events are no longer so important to her.

Why fear what others say if you don't care about something?

Besides, what others see is only the surface.

They mock others like this, but perhaps one day, others will mock them in the same way. It's just sour grapes.

...

Nangong Jin came out carrying her son and looked at Gu Changge.

She didn't react at all.

That's right, she's willing to do anything, so why would she be afraid of what others say!

However, he was very unhappy when his son was mentioned!

He didn't want his son to hear those rumors.

If it makes his son uneasy, he will definitely not let it go easily.

As if sensing the chill behind them, a nurse turned around and glanced back.

Upon noticing the director glaring at them, everyone immediately fell silent.

Perhaps the director allowed them to return.

Perhaps the director has changed his mind; no matter how lowly someone is, they still have a chance to rise to prominence.

Moreover, having a son is a trump card.

With such a trump card in hand, their position is hard to shake.

...

Rui Rui: "Mom, give the gift to Dad."

Nangong Jin: "Let's go back to Dad's office first, don't rush."

As he spoke, Nangong Jin walked ahead.

Gu Changge followed.

Upon arriving at the director's office, Nangong Jin put her son down.

He poured water for his son and Gu Changge.

Rui Rui: "Dad, this is a gift that Mom and I picked out! My older sister said that my dad must be very handsome, and my mom has great taste."

Nangong Jin smiled faintly and glanced at her son.

Whether he liked it or not, he didn't show it.

"Thank you, son!"

"You should also thank your mother!"

Nangong Jin's smile faltered slightly as she looked at Gu Changge and said, "Thank you!"

Gu Changge: "It's just that my son has good taste."

Rui Rui: "Daddy, why don't you call Mommy 'wife'? Mommy, why don't you call Daddy 'husband'? That's what godfather and godmother call each other!"

That little brat is such a busybody!

Nangong Jin really wanted to sew his little mouth shut.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changge frowned slightly.

She immediately explained, "Honey, everyone has different ways of getting along."

"My grandparents sometimes call me that too, why don't you?"

Because they are not a couple at all!

They're not a couple!

However, I can't say that to my son.

Gu Changge bit her lip lightly.

She was at her wit's end with her son.

Nangong Jin took a deep breath and said, "I prefer to call you by your mother's name because it sounds beautiful. Let me see what gifts you bought for me; I'm going to open the box now."

It seems Dad is right.

Dad was about to open the box, and Rui Rui's attention was diverted; he finally stopped insisting on the nickname.

"Daddy, it's so pretty!"

"I like everything you gave me."

"Dad, let Mom change it for you."

Nangong Jin did not express his opinion.

He opened the box and found two ties inside.

Gu Changge didn't say anything, but she looked at Nangong Jin and helplessly shrugged.

It's as if she's saying, "This is what your son wanted to buy, it's none of her business."

Nangong Jin understood, of course.

Just like yesterday, my son asked me to buy flowers and chocolates, as if he was worried sick about me.

Not wanting him to be sad, I did everything he asked.

...

Under his son's watchful eye, Nangong Jin ripped off his tie.

"Come on, tie on the gift you gave me. It really looks great, and I'm even more charming now."

Rui Rui smiled, "Dad likes gifts."

"Let's just treat it as acting," Gu Changge said, taking a new tie and putting it on Nangong Jin.

They were so close they could feel each other's breath.

In short, it felt strange and a bit awkward.

Nangong Jin also noticed that Gu Changge had changed her perfume.

The fragrance is very pleasant now, and it has a feminine charm.

Gu Changge didn't look at Nangong Jin, but simply tied his tie as a matter of routine.

She lowered her head, and unexpectedly, Nangong Jin's lips kissed her forehead.

She paused for a moment, then lowered her head further, trying not to touch him.
