Huo Yuxuan's eyes widened in shock.

"I don't mean it."

Seeing the girl's surprised look, Ji Shuyu thought she had scared her, so she apologized softly and walked past her.

Huo Yuxuan was a little confused.

After a long while, she no longer dared to look up in disbelief to see what was going on, but the bodyguard at the door blocked her view.

She trembled uncontrollably and walked into the bathroom with a somewhat hurried pace.

In the bathroom.

Huo Yuxuan held on to the washbasin, but her trembling body was difficult to steady.

I must have seen it wrong!

How could it be her?

She desperately tried to comfort herself, telling herself: No, it's impossible! !

But……

She would never mistake those eyes!

That person just now, that person, must be the child from the orphanage.

Huo Yuxuan shook her head in disbelief and clutched the necklace around her neck.

No, she is, she is!

"Miss, are you okay?"

Outside the bathroom, the female bodyguard asked respectfully.

Huo Yuxuan shuddered violently, and the blood instantly drained from her cheeks.

She sorted out her expression, tried to adjust her emotions in front of the mirror, and used all her strength to suppress her panic and walked out steadily.

"Where is the lady?"

"Madam should be resting at this time."

Huo Yuxuan listened and glanced at the bodyguard calmly. "Don't tell Madam about what happened just now. I don't want Mom to worry. Do you understand?"

"Yes." The bodyguard said respectfully.

The tightly clenched hands slowly loosened, "Get ready, I want to go to the country, right now!"

…

During this vacation, Ji Shuyu and her friend stayed on the island for half a month.

The night before the trip to the Kingdom of Qi, Gu Xiuyuan held Ji Shuyu in his arms and watched the fireworks on the beach.

Looking at the "LOVE" in the night sky, Ji Shuyu couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Gu, this doesn't fit your aloof personality at all." She raised her head to look at him, deliberately speaking with disdain.

"When did I become aloof?" Gu Xiuyuan complained.

It was about this little girl, and he felt that several of his friends disliked her for being childish!

"You're not calling me unsophisticated, are you?" He pretended to be angry.

"Just... on top of the dirt." She smiled, then turned around and hugged him, saying softly, "Xiuyuan, thank you."

Gu Xiuyuan lowered his eyes and looked at her.

"Once upon a time, a little girl told me that I wanted to watch fireworks. After that, I took her to watch fireworks every year. But then she suddenly told me that she didn't really like it..."

Ji Shuyu was stunned when she heard this. She initially thought it was for... Su Yan.

Now I think about it, I feel stupid, or maybe it’s because I lack confidence.

She didn't even dare to hope that the fireworks would continue without interruption. Those fireworks were for her.

"Maybe the little girl was talking about the people who watched the fireworks with her."

She smiled, her eyes sparkling more brilliantly than the fireworks in the night sky.

Gu Xiuyuan was comforted, then lowered his head and pecked her on the lips, "Kiss me again, Mr. Gu."

"Mr. Gu." She said softly, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him gently.

He put his arms around her waist and kissed her gently...

The two of them kissed each other from the entrance all the way to the bedroom. When everything calmed down, the fireworks outside the window did not stop...

After taking a bath, Gu Xiuyuan carried Ji Shuyu to the bedroom. As soon as he put her down, the little girl turned her back.

They were about to leave, and he didn't have the heart to bother her because he was worried that she would feel uncomfortable. However, she still complained of stomachache. Perhaps he was too unrestrained and too unkind.

He kissed her lovingly and then rubbed her belly gently.

The peaceful life of the past few days made him so addicted that he didn't want to leave.

How happy they would be if they didn’t have those annoying jobs, annoying social engagements and interpersonal relationships, and no one to bother them.

Ji Shuyu was so tired that she was drowsy and didn't even want to lift her eyelids, but he kept whispering in her ear.

She could hear him explaining his past experience with injections...

"Xiao Yu, I was just afraid that I wouldn't be a qualified father at the beginning." He was a little worried that his contraceptive behavior would make her misunderstand or sad.

Ji Shuyu opened her eyes, then turned over and hugged his waist.

"I know."

Since childhood, she has witnessed the relationship between Gu Bin and Xia Mei, and she also knows how sad Gu Xiuyuan is every time they quarrel.

He even ran away from home because of his parents' quarrel, was kidnapped and almost lost his life.

At that time, he was not aware of his own feelings, so she could understand...

The influence of one's original family on a person is really profound.

"Xiuyuan, those things are in the past."

"Yeah!" He laughed, "As long as we are happy in the future, that's it..."

…

When Gu Xiuyuan received a call from Aunt Xia Mei, it was just dawn.

It's three hours later here than the domestic time, but it's still early in China.

"Master, please come quickly! Madam is no longer here..."

Auntie's words were not very clear, but Gu Xiuyuan vaguely guessed that this matter was related to his father.

The two changed their departure time and quickly returned to the country.

During the transfer, Gu Xiuyuan received another call that Su Yan's parents had been found.

It is said that the two rented a house under false identities and stayed indoors for several months, which is why they have not found the person yet.

Gu Xiuyuan listened, his eyes stern, "Show him to me."

"Have all the other things come to fruition?"

"Don't worry, it's all settled."

Hearing the other party's answer, Gu Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

…

It was already late at night when the two of them arrived in China.

When they got home, it was dead silent. The living room was empty, as if it had been robbed. It was obvious that everything that could be smashed had been smashed.

Xia Mei sat on the sofa without saying a word.

In the more than ten years since Ji Shuyu came to the Gu family, this was the first time she saw Xia Mei in such a miserable and defeated state, with no hope in her eyes.

Gu Xiuyuan held Ji Shuyu's hand tightly, then asked, "Where's grandma?"

Auntie lowered her head for a moment, then said, "He's in the hospital!"

"What?!!"

"I didn't tell you this morning because I was afraid the young master would worry. But the old lady is fine. She just fainted from being so excited."

"I'm going to see grandma."

This is their family affair, and since it involves her relationship with Gu Bin, Xia Mei probably doesn't want anyone to know about it.

"I'll ask my driver to take you there. I'll be there in a moment."

Ji Shuyu looked at Xia Mei. Looking at her now, she no longer felt the previous depression and fear in her heart, but instead felt a trace of sympathy.

But she couldn't find the words to comfort him. A proud person like Xia Mei probably wouldn't want to be seen like this by outsiders.

Ji Shuyu left and Gu Xiuyuan sat down next to his mother.

He had a distant relationship with his parents since childhood, and later developed a rebellious mentality because of their obstruction in his affairs. If you ask him who he loves most in his life, it must be his grandmother and Xiaoyu.

But looking at his mother's appearance at this moment, he still felt a little heartbroken.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Xia Mei had been strong all her life, never showing weakness to either her husband or her son. But when she was emotionally broken, the word "Mom" brought tears to her eyes.

Xia Mei clenched her fists tightly, her body trembling slightly, and then she handed him the phone.

There was a photo on the broken screen. The moment Gu Xiuyuan saw it, he froze there...
