Gu Momo's eyes instantly welled up with tears when she heard her daughter unconsciously utter "Mom".

"President Gu, the medicine has arrived." Li Mo brought Gu Momo's specially made medicine according to the instructions.

In fact, Li Mo was also startled by the special medicine that Gu Momo had hidden. The cabinet contained all kinds of rare items that even the wealthiest people couldn't buy with money.

Gu Momo turned her face away, quietly wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, before taking the pills from his hand.

This medicine can effectively relieve any sudden respiratory illness; once taken, symptoms will be significantly reduced within ten minutes.

Gu Momo herself hates taking medicine, so her specially made medicine is coated with sugar so it won't be too bitter.

She carefully placed the medicine to Li Qingling's lips, but said softly, "Baby, be good, take your medicine, you'll feel better after taking it."

Ling'er pouted, but after tasting the sweet flavor on her tongue, she obediently opened her mouth and swallowed the medicine.

Li Mo stood to the side and inexplicably let out a long sigh of relief.

"Alright, you can go back now. I'll take care of her myself." Gu Momo picked up her daughter and got up to walk towards the bedroom.

Li Mo nodded in farewell, politely stepped back to a safe distance, and then turned and left.

The special medicine worked quickly; Ling'er's tightly furrowed brows, which had been furrowed due to discomfort, gradually relaxed, and her face slowly regained its color.

Gu Momo returned to the bedroom, wiped her body with a hot towel, and changed her into a clean set of pajamas.

The pure white background with small strawberry patterns is perfect for Ling'er.

These clothes were all prepared for her by Gu Momo.

Back then, Gu Shanshan took her child away, but she has never forgotten her daughter for a single moment.

Whenever she buys clothes for Jingxing, she can't help but stop and buy a set for her daughter, whom she has never met, when they pass by a girls' store.

Before I knew it, half the wardrobe was filled with stuff.

In the middle of the night, Li Qingling's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, she felt strangely familiar. Turning her head, she saw the beautiful aunt lying on the side of her bed, her head resting on her arm, fast asleep.

She reached out her small hand and brushed aside the stray hairs on her forehead, wanting to see her more clearly.

Even such a subtle movement woke up Gu Momo, who is usually a light sleeper.

"Ling'er, you're awake? Is there anything else that's bothering you?" Gu Momo got up and touched her forehead to check her temperature.

Her asthma was relieved after taking the special medication, but she developed a slight fever due to being caught in the rain.

Gu Momo had been busy taking care of things all night, and she was so tired that she dozed off for a while, but unexpectedly fell asleep right away.

Fortunately, the fever has subsided, and after a nap, the child's condition has improved considerably.

"Pretty auntie? Ling'er is alright! Thank you for bringing Ling'er back!" Li Qingling flashed a sweet smile, climbed out of bed, and snuggled into her arms.

This child is like a very clingy little kitten, with a soft, sweet voice that can easily touch the softest part of your heart.

"Didn't you leave with your father? Why did you come back?" Gu Momo couldn't understand how Li Zhanting could let such a young child go back to the hotel alone.

If she hadn't happened to witness it today, who knows what might have happened to her daughter.

Does this man really take good care of her precious Ling'er?

Li Qingling, on the other hand, was quite carefree. She looked at her with her big, watery eyes and said in a light tone, "I've come to bring an umbrella to the pretty auntie! It's raining, and Ling'er was worried that you didn't have an umbrella."

Gu Momo felt a surge of emotion; she hadn't expected her daughter to care about her so much.

"Don't do that again! It's dangerous, you know!" She affectionately patted her little head.

"Ling'er knows! But Ling'er is worried about Pretty Auntie, and misses Pretty Auntie, right? If Pretty Auntie doesn't want Ling'er running around like this, how about you marry my daddy and be my mommy?"

This was the second time Ling'er had said something like this, and Gu Momo naturally wanted to be her mother; she dreamed of it.

However, she didn't want to have anything to do with Li Zhanting anymore.

Marry him? That's even more impossible.

Thinking of this, she turned her head away and did not answer her daughter's question.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Li Qingling knew that she might be a little unwilling, so the clever girl changed her question.

"Pretty auntie, did you see that old witch who wants to be my mom today? She even wants to marry my daddy and become my stepmother."

Mentioning Gu Shanshan, Gu Momo's expression immediately turned from sunny to stormy, and she coldly said, "She doesn't deserve to be your mother!"

Knowing that the pretty aunt also had a bad impression of the old witch, Li Qingling immediately became much happier, and said playfully with her eyes narrowed, "Pretty aunt, I like you more than her!"

Gu Momo understood her implication, but she knew clearly what her purpose was. She would take her daughter away sooner or later, and she didn't want to give her any hope.

"Alright, sweetie, you rest first. We'll talk about this later." He tucked her in and hastily ended the conversation.

Li Qingling lowered her eyes somewhat disappointed, but quickly recovered.

Just as Gu Momo was about to get up, she grabbed her fingertips and shook them pitifully twice, "Pretty auntie, could you sleep with Ling'er tonight? Ling'er is afraid of the dark and can't sleep alone."

Actually, Gu Momo also really wanted to sleep with her daughter.

Over the years, she has fantasized more than once about snuggling in bed with her daughter and falling asleep to the sound of her breathing.

So, after Ling'er made this request, she agreed without hesitation.

"Oh, that's great! That's great! Ling'er can sleep with the pretty auntie now!" The little one lay half-reclined on the bed, her two little feet under the blanket wiggling up and down, so happy she almost jumped up.

Gu Momo laughed, lifted the blanket and crawled in, using her hand to support her little head as she lay down on her side next to her.

Ling'er hugged her arm and kept pressing herself against her chest, her soft hair brushing against her heart like feathers.

"Pretty auntie, you smell so good!" Ling'er sniffed with enjoyment, as if she wanted to inhale the scent into her body and preserve it forever.

Gu Momo smiled faintly, "Really? What does it taste like?"

"Hmm..." Ling'er thought for a moment, then said without hesitation, "It tastes like Mom's!"

Her back stiffened, and something inside her seemed to explode. To suppress this emotion, she lowered her head and left a goodnight kiss on her daughter's brow. "Sweetie, go to sleep."

"Pretty auntie, can you sing to soothe Ling'er?"

"Okay!" Gu Momo cleared her throat.

"Rain will come and go, that's an unchanging truth..."

Her voice was melodious as she sang, gently patting her daughter's back.

Soon, I heard soft, snoring sounds coming from my arms.

She looked down at her sleeping daughter, a scene that had appeared countless times in her dreams.

And today, my wish has finally come true.
