Chapter 49: The Wicked Stepmother Who Abandoned the Twins (The End)

Eat breakfast.

"Mom, I woke up and I couldn't find you. Where did you go?"

"I--"

"Oh, I know. You and Dad are going to sleep now."

Wen Yan: "..."

Children speak without thinking, but her face turned as red as a shrimp, and she kicked Gu Ci.

Wen Wan and Gu Ci took the two children to school, waving goodbye to Xiao Jiaojiao and Xiao Xuanxuan. After the children entered the school, Wen Wan hugged Gu Ci.

“I’ve missed them for so many years, and they’ve all grown up so fast.”

Gu Ci patted Wen Wan's head. "They are healthy and sensible. Just stay with them and me from now on. Everything will be alright."

"Right, Teacher Wen~"

Wen Yan: "..."

Stepping away from Gu Ci, she said, "Can you please forget about this? Don't... don't call me Teacher Wen anymore."

"Then, Mrs. Gu, please come to the company with me."

—

When they arrived at the company, the employees couldn't help but look over when they saw President Gu walking in with a beautiful young woman.

Once President Gu got on the elevator, they started gossiping like crazy.

"Did you guys see Mr. Gu holding hands with a girl? Am I hallucinating because I ate too much gossip last night?"

"Isn't that Teacher Qingyun's assistant? The girl who got drunk and clung to President Gu's leg, calling him 'Dad'? What's her relationship with President Gu?"

"girlfriend?"

"lover?"

"..."

Assistant Chen was summoned to President Gu's office. Seeing Wen Wan sitting on the sofa, he tactfully greeted her, "Madam."

Wen Wan: "Hello, Assistant Chen."

Assistant Chen never expected that Wen Wan would become President Gu's new wife. No wonder he asked her to investigate her situation in the first place.

I didn't expect to be waiting here.

After finishing his work report, Assistant Chen was immediately surrounded by employees as soon as he went downstairs. "Assistant Chen, you and President Gu are the closest. Is that lady President Gu's girlfriend?"

Assistant Chen: "She's the new wife, so you'd better be nice to her from now on if you want to leave work on time and get your year-end bonus."

"It really is Mr. Gu's wife! I never expected it. I thought Mr. Gu would live out his days alone."

"What a coincidence! Mr. Gu has had such a tough five years. It's good that he has a new wife now."

"I never expected our new wife to be so special. She clung to President Gu's leg and called him 'Dad,' and eventually became President Gu's wife. I want a leg like that too."

"..."

When Wen Wan was bored, she went downstairs and found that the employees greeted her with smiles and called her "Madam".

Wen Wan bought milk tea and coffee for the entire company and soon started chatting with the employees.

These people were incredibly curious about her relationship with Gu Ci.

"Madam, did you and President Gu get to know each other by currying favor?"

Wen Yan: "..."

This situation is unavoidable, right?

"I was drunk then, can you guys forget about that? It was so embarrassing."

"How is it shameful? Madam is cute even when she's drunk. My grandma loves using Madam's emojis."

Wen Wan: The toes are starting to work.

"Madam, how old are you? You look so young."

I'm twenty-three.

"Twenty-three? Madam, I'd believe you if you said you were a high school student. Your skin is so good, how do you take care of it?"

Wen Wan discovered that these employees really hadn't changed at all.

Wen Wan quickly made an excuse and ran back to Gu Ci's office.

Then he stared intently at Gu Ci as he worked.

"My Aci is so handsome."

System: [Host, reader satisfaction has reached 90/100. We're about to complete the mission.]

Wen Yan: "..."

"How did it suddenly rise so high?"

Gu Ci's career is thriving; the company's latest educational chip has already gained international recognition and made a significant contribution to this industry in China.

[Although the romance isn't present in the original book, after Gu Ci falls for you, he becomes more like a person with feelings—devoted, loyal, and romantic—which meets the readers' emotional needs for the story.]

Therefore, with both the career and romance storylines developing perfectly, reader satisfaction naturally increases.

Wen Wan: "Then... what will happen to me after the mission is completed?"

[The host has two choices. The first choice is to leave this world when the mission progress is complete. The Transmigration Bureau will then have a story NPC continue living in this world in the host's place until death.]

"What's the second option?" Wen Wan felt very sad at the thought of her leaving.

The second option is for the host to stay until Gu Ci dies, and then leave this world.

"I'll stay." Wen Wan chose the second option without hesitation.

Gu Ci glanced up at Wen Wan, "Are you hungry?"

I'm hungry.

Gu Ci smiled and said, "After I reply to this email, I'll take you out to eat."

"Um."

Gu Ci brought Wen Wan to Qin Qin's private restaurant.

Qin Qin: "What a rare guest! And who is this beautiful lady?"

Gu Ci pulled Wen Wan over, "My wife."

Qin Qin: "..."

How come this old dog Gu already has a wife after only a few days?

"Hello, sister-in-law, please come in."

Qin Qin's cooking skills were as excellent as ever. Wen Wan praised him as she ate, and habitually put some food on Gu Ci's plate, asking, "Is it good?"

"tasty."

Qin Qin looked at Gu Ci, then at Wen Wan.

This scene seems so familiar. And this old dog Gu actually praised his food? Is this really something he could hear while he's alive?

—

On the day of Wen Wan and Gu Ci's wedding, the two kissed in front of everyone, and the mission progress bar reached 100 at that moment.

Wen Wan chose to stay.

He and Gu Ci lived a happy life together. She took care of their two children, Gu Jiao and Gu Xuan, and watched them grow up, healing the estrangement and hurt caused by her departure five years ago.

Gu Xuan gradually accepted her as his mother.

Gu Jiao later became a famous painter, while Gu Xuan took over the Gu family business after graduating from the best business school in City A, and the Gu family business developed very well under his leadership.

Wen Wan watched her two children fall in love, get married, and have children.

Then, Wen Wan took her grandson and granddaughter to the amusement park, where she bought them pretty little dresses and suits.

Wen Wan stayed by Gu Ci's side, and their relationship remained stable and passionate.

After the two children got married, Gu Ci kicked them out and then monopolized Wen Wan.

Unexpectedly, once he had his grandson and granddaughter, he attracted the attention of his wife, Yuan Yuan, and Gu Ci, who was almost an old man, became jealous of his grandson and granddaughter.

Gu Ci died at the age of eighty-three. Before he closed his eyes, he held Wen Wan's hand and said, "Wan Wan, in the next life, I will definitely find you and hold your hand."

Wen Wan: "Okay."

After Gu Ci closed his eyes, Wen Wan lay down next to him, holding the man in her arms.

[Task complete.]

[Beginning to detach from this world.]
