Li Qingling's cheeks turned red and tender from his pinching, and he felt the same way about his brother...

“Sister, be good, he’s safe, he’s very safe!” Gu Jingxing answered confidently, and then honestly told Li Qingling everything.

Li Qingling blinked her clear eyes, a hint of hesitation in them, "Are you really my brother too?"

Gu Jingxing patted his chest readily, "Of course! If you and Li Zixiao are both worried, we can just get a DNA test done, right? But little sister, you have to keep this a secret, otherwise it will be very difficult for us to find out the truth from back then."

Ling'er pouted her soft lips, "But how do you know you must be my brother? What if you were born after Ling'er? Wouldn't I be at a disadvantage if I called you brother?"

"Ahem!" Gu Jingxing patted Li Qingling's shoulder readily. "Doesn't Ling'er need her brother's protection? I'm her brother, so I can better protect my dear Ling'er."

A hint of doubt flashed in Ling'er's eyes, and she said softly, "Okay! Then you're Ling'er's brother too! By the way, brother, can Ling'er meet with Brother Zixiao? Ling'er will worry about you."

Gu Jingxing thought for a moment, "Li Zixiao is with Mommy right now. We can only see him when Mommy comes out. Oh, by the way, Mommy is attending the Gu family's birthday banquet tomorrow!"

Li Qingling's eyes lit up, "Daddy's going to the Gu family's birthday banquet tomorrow too!"

"Then tomorrow!"

The agreed-upon tomorrow will arrive soon.

Nine-Rank Famous Garden

Gu Momo picked out two dresses from a row of them and waved them in front of Li Zixiao, "Baby, which one looks better?"

Li Zixiao raised his head, looked at it very carefully and cooperatively, and finally stretched out his small hand, pointing to the champagne-colored dress on Gu Momo's right.

Made by Chanel's haute couture, the entire garment, from the collar to the hem, is hand-sewn, with a small diamond every centimeter, making it breathtakingly beautiful under the lights.

Gu Momo hesitated before glancing at the simple black dress on her right; she hadn't intended to be too flashy.

"Do you want to see Mommy wear this?"

"Yes!" Li Zixiao nodded vigorously.

"Okay! This one will do!" Gu Momo made the final decision.

Actually, she rarely asked her son for his opinion on clothing before, but recently her son has been so well-behaved that she couldn't help but ask him.

Seeing that the fairy aunt had listened to his advice, Li Zixiao's lips curled up slightly, his happy little thoughts impossible to hide.

After a while, he rolled his eyes slightly and tentatively asked, "Mommy, can I go to the dinner party with you tonight?"

Gu Momo paused for a moment as she gestured to try on clothes. Over the years, she had always protected her son very well.

Although she has never lied about her experiences over the years, she has concealed the fact that her son is still alive, fearing that if someone with malicious intent finds out, it will harm her son.

Moreover, what she is about to do is very dangerous, and she does not want her son to be implicated.

However, seeing the expectant look in her son's eyes, she really couldn't bear to do it.

After a long pause, she gritted her teeth and replied, "Of course, but promise Mommy you won't run around. Just wait for Mommy in the car, okay?"

"Yes!" Li Zixiao nodded heavily again.

Gu Zhenting's birthday banquet was held at the Imperial Capital Hotel. Because of the special care that the Li family gave to Gu Shanshan, rumors have been circulating in high society that Gu Shanshan may be Li Zhanting's fiancée.

Therefore, this birthday banquet naturally attracted people who wanted to curry favor with them.

When Gu Momo's car parked in front of the hotel, many people had already arrived.

She took the handbag, checked her makeup again, and said gently, "Baby, I'll have Li Mo stay here with you; you have to be good, okay? Stay in the car and wait for me, don't go anywhere, okay?"

"Don't worry, Mommy," Li Zixiao replied with a faint smile and a firm tone.

Gu Momo was relieved and turned to get out of the car.

However, no sooner had Gu Momo left than Li Zixiao received a message from Gu Jingxing, informing him that he and Ling'er had arrived at the hotel's meeting room and asked him to meet them in the hotel's back garden.

Li Zixiao glanced at Li Mo, who was sitting in front of him, and said coldly, "I want to drink water."

The voice was so cold that Li Mo felt that the young master who was talking to President Gu just now and the young master who was talking to him now were completely different people!

"I want water," Li Zixiao emphasized again, this time making a very simple and direct request.

Li Mo then realized what was happening, glanced at the convenience store across the street, and quickly replied, "Oh, I'm sorry, young master, I'll go buy it for you right away. Would you like Want Want milk again?"

Li Zixiao frowned in utter disgust. Gu Jingxing's quirks were really childish.

He could only grit his teeth and nod, "Mm."

"Okay, I'll go buy it for you right away. Please wait a moment." Li Mo said, opening the car door and running across the road.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Zixiao immediately opened the back door of the car, slipped out, and headed straight for the hotel's back garden to meet up with Gu Jingxing and Ling'er.

In the hotel's back garden, Li Qingling sat on a swing under a tree branch, while Gu Jingxing leaned against the trunk, pulling on the rope and gently pushing her forward.

"Why isn't brother here yet?" Li Qingling pouted.

Gu Jingxing laughed and said, "Hey, your brother has never experienced the trouble of being watched by my mom. With his intelligence, it might take him a while to escape successfully."
