One month later.

Gu Qingyan has fully recovered. After a doctor's examination, it was confirmed that everything was normal and there were no problems. The problems that were previously worried about, such as brain damage and sequelae, did not occur.

However, Gu Qingyan's temper has subsided considerably, perhaps proving the saying "a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit" true.

When Rong Mo entered the room, Gu Qingyan had already tidied up.

He wore his usual black suit, and his short hair had grown a little longer and wasn't as neat, but it added a touch of youthful charm. A pair of black-rimmed glasses perched on his angular face gave him a cool and aloof air.

"President Rong." Gu Qingyan greeted him casually upon seeing him, without calling him "brother" as before.

"Hmm." Rong Mo raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"Thank you for your help during this time. I'm preparing to return to Nancheng," Gu Qingyan said politely, without blaming Rong Mo for his previous behavior.

"But before I leave, I have a request. Can I see Zhi Qiu? I want to see the two children before I go. I'm very sorry about what happened that day. I really didn't want to hurt Zhi Qiu. I want to apologize to her in person."

Gu Qingyan said calmly, and fearing that Rong Mo would refuse, he continued, "I promise I will not bother Zhi Qiu anymore. I have thought a lot during this time, and perhaps I really realize that I was wrong, but time has passed, and the harm I caused to Zhi Qiu cannot be erased. I admit it."

Rong Mo frowned, scrutinizing his expression, because Gu Qingyan's change was so drastic that it was hard to believe.

After pondering for a moment, Rong Mo remembered Rong Hong's words and relented, "I'll call Zhi Qiu first and ask. If she agrees, I have no objection."

Shen Zhi Qiu, who was taking a walk on the lawn of the postpartum care center, received a call from Rong Mo. She thought he was calling to ask when she would be discharged from the hospital, so she happily answered the call.

"Zhi Qiu," Rong Mo's voice was somewhat somber, "there's something I need your opinion on."

"What's wrong, brother?" Shen Zhi Qiu asked, somewhat surprised. "Go ahead and ask."

"Gu Qingyan is preparing to return to Nancheng. He wants to see you and the child before he leaves," Rong Mo briefly explained. "His health has fully recovered, so you don't need to worry."

Seeing that Shen Zhi Qiu did not answer, Rong Mo added, "If you don't want to see him, I'll just have Wei Qiao send him back. It depends on your wishes."

“Brother, to be honest, I don’t want to see Gu Qingyan,” Shen Zhi Qiu said after a moment of silence.

“Okay, I understand.” Rong Mo replied immediately.

"Wait a minute, brother." Shen Zhi Qiu smiled. "Let him come. After all, I said before the divorce that I wouldn't stop him from seeing the child. The child is innocent. As long as the child is with me, it's only right that he sees him occasionally."

Moreover, since the child was just born, he has the right to see him.

"Okay, I understand, I'll go together this afternoon." Rong Mo respected Shen Zhi Qiu's wishes.

"Come with me in a bit. Zhi Qiu has agreed to see you." Rong Mo said to Gu Qingyan, then instructed Wei Qiao, "Have someone bring all of Gu Qingyan's things. After the meeting, we can go to the airport from the postpartum care center without having to come back."

Wei Qiao nodded, "Yes, President Rong, please rest assured."

At the postpartum care center.

Stepping out of the elevator, Gu Qingyan's steps were as heavy as her heart; with each step, she felt as if her heart was bleeding.

It seemed that with every step he took, he was saying goodbye to Shen Zhi Qiu, and also to his past marriage.

Is there still a chance to salvage the situation?

It seems there really aren't any left.

Gu Qingyan sighed, following Rong Mo and Wei Qiao with a heart full of regret.

Wei Qiao stepped forward, opened the door, and then stepped aside.

Rong Mo went in first, and when he saw Shen Zhi Qiu resting on the bed, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up. "Zhi Qiu."

Shen Zhi Qiu turned around and saw Rong Mo, then turned her gaze to the back, where she met Gu Qing Yan's eyes.

Rong Mo glanced at Lu Jia, and the two walked towards the sofa by the window in tacit agreement. Wei Qiao stood by the door, watching Gu Qingyan's movements warily.

"Long time no see." Shen Zhi Qiu spoke first, greeting Gu Qing Yan in a generous manner, as if they were old friends catching up. "My brother said you wanted to come and see the child."

"Hmm, are you alright?" Gu Qingyan looked at the little ones sleeping soundly in the crib, her heart suddenly softening. Then she turned to look at Shen Zhi Qiu and asked softly.

"It's all good, and the child is doing well too," Shen Zhi Qiu said calmly.

"You've had a hard time!" Gu Qingyan said with some emotion. "I'm really sorry about what happened that day. I didn't control my emotions and that's why you were frightened and suffered so much. I'm sorry."

As he spoke, Gu Qingyan lowered his head. "I am very sorry for everything that happened in the past. I am sorry for not cherishing you when we were together and causing you so much suffering. I was really wrong."

"Hmm," Shen Zhi Qiu replied calmly, "Fortunately, the child is alright."

I can't forgive you, but I accept your apology.

After saying that, she looked at the child, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Would you like to hold the child before you leave?"

"Is that okay?" Gu Qingyan's voice suddenly rose, her face full of surprise.

“Okay.” Shen Zhi Qiu nodded to the nanny.

As if afraid that Shen Zhi Qiu might change her mind, Gu Qing Yan immediately went around to the crib and looked at the two exquisitely beautiful little faces, unable to resist reaching out to touch them.

"Don't touch the baby's face. Children have weak immune systems, and adults' hands have bacteria. If the child gets them on their hands, they are more likely to get sick," the nanny patiently explained, stopping him from touching the baby's face.

"If I pick them up, will I wake them up?" Gu Qingyan asked softly.

The nanny nodded.

Looking at the babies sleeping so peacefully, Gu Qingyan couldn't bear to wake them and said softly, "Then I won't hold them. I'll just look at them."

"Chairman Rong."

Wei Qiao, who was standing at the door, suddenly spoke up, drawing everyone's attention.

It turned out that Rong Hong had received a message that Gu Qingyan would be visiting Shen Zhi Qiu today, and because he was worried that something might happen, he rushed over as well.

Seeing that the ward was quiet, she finally felt relieved, but her expression darkened when she looked at Gu Qingyan.

Why is it so lively today?

As they were talking, nutritionist Yan Yan walked in.

Rong Mo looked up. It was the first time he had seen Yan Yan without a mask. She had delicate features, but he felt that she looked familiar.

When Rong Hong, who was standing at the door, saw Yan Yan's face, he was so surprised that his mouth dropped open.
