When Xiao Lulu said these words, Zhang Xiaonuan was already crying uncontrollably.

Zhou Chunhua's eyes reddened.

Perhaps not every mother loves her child, but every mother who loves her child will love her child with her own life.

Gu Yao turned to look at her.

What did you say to her?

Zhou Chunhua smiled, her eyes red.

“I just told her that she is a mother.”

Gu Yao didn't understand, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Once Zhang Xiaonuan calmed down, Zhou Chunhua suggested that Zhang Xiaonuan return to China with them.

I was originally planning to return to China, and bringing it up now shouldn't be a big problem.

Returning to China to start over was her best option.

However, to Zhou Chun's surprise, Zhang Xiaonuan instantly turned into a cat with its fur standing on end as soon as she heard the words "returning to China".

"Impossible! I will never go back! I finally managed to get this far away from my mom, I can't go back! I will never go back!"

"But...you're already in this state, wouldn't it be better to go back to China and start over?"

"Stop talking!" Zhang Xiaonuan shouted, "No matter what you say, I won't go back! Even if I have to beg here, even if I starve to death here, I will never go back to where Wu Jing can reach out to me!"

Just as Zhou Chunhua was about to continue persuading Zhang Xiaonuan, Gu Yao interrupted her, saying, "Then let her stay here. Let's go, it's getting late, continuing will only be a waste of time."

Before Zhou Chunhua could react, Gu Yao had already left the ward.

Coming to her senses, she glanced at Zhang Xiaonuan and Zhang Lulu, then turned and chased after Gu Yao.

In situations like this, the two of them must stand together through thick and thin.

Gu Yao stopped chasing them all the way to the hospital entrance.

Once in the car, Gu Yao asked her, "Aren't you going to ask me why?"

Zhou Chunhua shook her head: "You must have your own plans."

Gu Yao turned to look out the window with a solemn expression.

The suppressed look in his eyes was something she had never seen before.

“When a person is suppressed for too long, fear will arise in their heart. How could she easily return to a place that has terrified her for so many years?”

Zhou Chunhua seemed to awaken from a dream.

But the next question is, if Zhang Xiaonuan is unwilling to return to China, what other ways are there to get Zhang Bo to talk?

Just as she was about to discuss with Gu Yao how to find a new breakthrough, she discovered that Gu Yao was completely different from before.

He exuded a chilling aura, and his eyes were terrifyingly gloomy.

Looking at Gu Yaoqing's aloof profile, Zhou Chunhua's pupils contracted.

This feeling...it suddenly feels so familiar!

This profile view...it seems like I've seen it somewhere before!

As the taxi stopped, Zhou Chunhua realized that they had returned to the hotel entrance.

Looking at Gu Yao's back, she couldn't understand why she suddenly had such a familiar feeling.

Once inside the room, Zhou Chunhua, realizing what had happened, was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground.

Night had fallen; a room, a bed.

Gu Yao took off his coat and casually tossed it onto the chair.

"Should you wash first or should I?"

"Huh? Oh! You, you go first!"

She knew Gu Yao was referring to the bathroom, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she immediately regretted it.

"I... I'll go first." With that, she rushed into the bathroom and locked the door.

The faint outlines that Gu Yao had shown while taking a shower were now vividly clear in her mind.

He slapped his forehead and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

It seems that my meager womanly virtues were entirely preserved by poverty.

After a quick wash, she came out of the bathroom.

"I'll make a makeshift bed on the floor first... and sleep..."

The erotic scene before her eyes kept Zhou Chunhua mouthing the word "sleep".

Is this scene... something she should be able to see?

Coming to her senses, she quickly covered her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to peek." With that, she quickly turned around and faced the wall.

At this moment, only two words were on Zhou Chunhua's mind: It's over! Will Gu Yao sue her?

Only when she heard noises coming from inside the bathroom did Zhou Chunhua slowly turn around to confirm that Gu Yao had entered the bathroom.

However, when she opened the wardrobe dejectedly, she found it completely empty, without even a spare blanket.

She closed the wardrobe door and began to stare blankly at the blankets on the bed.

One quilt...that's right, only one!

This meant that either she would cover it, or Gu Yao would cover it, or... No! She abruptly interrupted the thought that shouldn't have been on her mind.

Having no other choice, he could only sit in the chair and wait for Gu Yao to come out.

Ten minutes later, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

As footsteps sounded, the bathroom door opened.

Gu Yao, wearing a bathrobe, had wet hair.

His muscles were clearly visible through the slightly open bathrobe.

The glistening water droplets falling on the collarbone created an incredibly alluring beauty.

Zhou Chunhua quickly covered her eyes and turned her face away.

She suddenly realized that compared to Gu Yao, Liao Nanxing was nothing but a rotten cabbage.

Whether it was to distract herself or not, she ended up berating her younger self again.

"Waiting for me?"

Perhaps because he had lost body moisture while taking a bath, Gu Yao's voice was slightly hoarse, but it sounded exceptionally pleasant.

"Yes...no! It's just that there are no spare blankets in the room, and I can't communicate with the staff, so I can only wait for you to come out."

After saying that, she reminded him apologetically, "Gu Yao, could you please pull your bathrobe up a bit?"

Soon, Gu Yao's voice could be heard making a phone call.

She couldn't understand it either.

A short while later, Gu Yao put down the plane.

"Go to sleep early, I'll sleep on the floor tonight."

When Zhou Chunhua turned her head, she saw that Gu Yao had already put the pillow on the ground and was about to lie down.

All the jumbled thoughts in her mind vanished instantly.

She came here to help her, and now she's sleeping on the cold floor because of her fussiness. She's so heartless.

She rushed over, yanked off the blanket, and lay down on the carpet first.

"I'll sleep on the floor, you can sleep on the bed."

Before Gu Yao could speak, she closed her eyes and turned around, giving him no chance to speak.

She only relaxed when she heard Gu Yao getting into bed.

Whether it was due to jet lag or because she didn't sleep well on the plane, she fell asleep very quickly.

She only vaguely reached for her waist when something pressed down on her and made it hard to breathe.

The burning sensation in her palm startled her, and she jerked her eyes open.

What came into view was Gu Yao's face, which was very close to his.

He closed his eyes tightly, his brows furrowed slightly, his breathing was heavy, and his cheeks were flushed.

"Gu Yao?"

Any mother can tell at a glance that she has a fever.

Sure enough, she touched Gu Yao's forehead and it was frighteningly hot.

"Gu Yao?"

As a result, Gu Yao's hand wrapped around her waist again.

"cold."

"It's no wonder it's cold after burning like that."

He got up and dragged the person to the bed.

Just as she was about to go to the bathroom to get a towel to cool down, Gu Yao suddenly pulled her back...
