As he walked into the villa, he pulled Xu Zhaozhao's hand down and held it in his own large hand.

Their fingers are intertwined.

The matching rings on his ring fingers were his greatest source of security.

"Love involves holding hands."

He looked at the road in front of him and suddenly blurted out those words, which made Xu Zhaozhao laugh.

The other, unrestrained hand poked his shoulder. "You know a lot, don't you, Gu Qingyan? Have you dated anyone before?"

Her hand was held even tighter.

"How do you know I understand if you don't?"

He turned to look at her, taking the initiative and asking, "Have you dated before?"

This time, they were the first to openly ask each other about their romantic experiences, in a way that showed neither side was willing to concede.

Xu Zhaozhao was caught off guard and was stunned for a moment.

"No, I didn't pinch it."

Just as I was about to enter, Xu Zhaozhao's voice came from beside me, "You're my first boyfriend."

Gu Qingyan's hand, which was about to open the door, paused, and he hesitated to put the doorknob down.

Xu Zhaozhao didn't need Gu Qingyan's answer.

If he had ever been in a relationship, he wouldn't have been played so badly by her.

With a smile, she moved in front of Gu Qingyan, placed her hand on his hand which was on the doorknob, and opened the door for him.

"Unlocked successfully."

Click.

Her voice came as the door unlocked, "Baby, I really want to date you."

Even though she was clumsy, even though she didn't seem serious, Gu Qingyan had already jumped headfirst into her arms after hearing those words.

But the gentle countrywoman a second later violently shook off his hand, pushed open the door, and rushed into the living room.

"Baby fish, Mommy's home!"

Her excited voice carried on the wind to Gu Qingyan's ears, "Come here and let Mommy hug you, I've missed you so much!!"

Gu Qingyan strode into the living room and closed the door behind him.

He thought to himself: "What a scumbag! One second she's calling him 'baby,' and the next she's going to dote on someone else's baby."

Gu Qingyan, who was always intelligent, fell into deep thought.

The biggest obstacle on his way to winning back his wife is actually his own son. How can he solve this?

Gu Yulin was initially a little unhappy, but after seeing Xu Zhaozhao, those unhappiness vanished as if they had never existed.

Although Xu Zhaozhao was not very strong, she was still able to lift four-year-old Gu Yulin up with difficulty.

Happy birthday, baby fish!

No amount of blessings can ever be enough.

She hopes her baby will always be happy.

Gu Yulin nestled in Xu Zhaozhao's arms, "Thank you, Mom~"

Looking back, his expression softened somewhat, and he gave a cold snort, "Unlike some people..."

What about Gu Qingyan?

Before he could finish ordering, Gu Qingyan stepped forward, a bag that appeared in his hand without him noticing.

He handed it to Gu Yulin, saying, "Happy birthday."

Gu Yulin took the bag with a puzzled look, his eyes widening slightly.

LEGO!

Limited edition LEGO!

"Didn't you give me the gift yesterday...?"

Gu Yulin didn't know why he had asked such a not-so-wise question.

"One isn't enough."

Gu Qingyan answered.

"Oh, you secretly prepared a gift for your son without me."

Xu Zhaozhao glared at him, huffing and puffing.

Compared to her, it seems like she's the one who loves fish less.

Just as Xu Zhaozhao was getting angry, Gu Yulin grabbed her fingers.

His little face was very serious. "The biggest gift is that my mom celebrated my birthday with me."

Xu Zhaozhao's heart was gently tapped.

Suddenly, she didn't dare to look her son in the eye and moved away, only to meet Gu Qingyan's gaze again.

He glanced at her sideways, as if to say: You know why I didn't tell you I prepared a gift, right?

You can't hold two bowls of water level.

Gu Yulin didn't even try to be fair; he just splashed the water all over Xu Zhaozhao.

Xu Zhaozhao felt that she was being pretentious.

She squatted down, patted his head, and said to Gu Yulin, "Dad will be with you too."

Gu Yulin was stunned for a moment.

The most comfortable way to talk is to look each other in the eye.

Gu Qingyan squatted down like Xu Zhaozhao and nodded, "Mom is right."

This is practically a case of "the wife leading and the husband following," leaving Gu Yulin completely bewildered.

He lowered his head and clutched at the fabric of his pants, a sign that he was somewhat nervous.

After an unknown amount of time, his voice, barely audible, came through: "Thank you... Dad."

Gu Qingyan didn't know how he got to the Song family compound.

Sitting in the car, I felt like I was floating.

Five years had passed, and this was the first time he had heard those two words, even though he had always felt that he was not up to the task.

But the feeling of being filled with joy is undeniable.

"Gu! Qing! Yan!"

He only snapped out of his daze when Xu Zhaozhao raised her voice to call him.

The car has stopped.

Xu Zhaozhao looked at him with a playful expression. "Surely not? You're that happy?"

He took Xu Zhaozhao's hand and got out of the car, replying, "As for..."

As for... he felt that Yu Yu no longer needed to be the heir, and that he could abdicate now.

He hadn't felt it when he got off the car, but now, as he slowly walked towards the Song family home, holding Xu Zhaozhao's hand, a strange sense of tension rose in Gu Qingyan's heart.

He was like a rash, immature young man meeting his girlfriend's parents for the first time.

But Gu Qingyan is a little better than those greenhorns; he can act, hiding all his emotions behind a calm mask.

Xu Zhaozhao held Yu Yu's hand while holding Gu Qingyan's hand; her trembling hands betrayed her.

Seeing his taut jawline, Xu Zhaozhao gently hooked his palm.

"Don't worry, my mom knows about us."

After saying that, he added, "I won't kick you out."

There was no time for him to adjust; they quickly arrived at the door, where many people were waiting to greet them.

As soon as I stepped inside.

Bang bang bang!!

There were sequins, ribbons, and popped balloons, all bursting together the moment Yu Yu stepped through the door.

"YuYu, happy birthday from your uncle! I'm going to set off firecrackers for you!!"

Song Jinshi’s excited voice came through the air, still holding the empty cannon that had just been fired.

"Glitter is more exciting! Yours only lasts a moment, but mine still floats!"

Xia Huai also grabbed an empty cannon and started arguing with Song Jinshi.

Xiao Kai hopped and skipped along, joining the battle, shouting, "Balloon, balloon, the loudest balloon!"

The argument yielded no results.

Finally, they realized something was wrong.

Why isn't today's main character saying anything?

They stopped arguing and focused their attention on the doorway.

Gu Yulin had anticipated this part and cleverly took an umbrella from the car.

That umbrella, which cost 130,000 yuan, was covered in sequins and ribbons.

He originally wanted to cover Xu Zhaozhao up, but he found that Gu Qingyan was faster and hid his mother in his arms.

Although it's not good to belittle myself like this, I really can't reach Gu Qingyan's level.

And so, the usually aloof Gu Qingyan now had... on his head and shoulders.

It was covered in sequins and ribbons.

This was so different from what they had expected that everyone fell silent.

Only the innocent Xiao Kai didn't understand and simply asked, "Hey, why is Uncle Gu all sparkly?"

Xu Zhaozhao was pushed into his arms without understanding why.

After hearing Xiao Kai's words, he peeked out to observe.

They were also captivated by this scene.

Gu Qingyan was in a disheveled state, while Gu Yulin held an umbrella... Her gaze kept shifting between the large and small figures.

Suddenly, a word popped into Xu Zhaozhao's mind.

A loving father and a filial son.
