"Mom, how are you?"
Zhang Chunfang, who had just finished showering, still smelled faintly of shower gel as she walked out of the bathroom, drying her wet hair with a towel.
As soon as she stepped outside, she heard Gu Nan's words and couldn't help but frown, scrutinizing Gu Nan's expression.
What exactly does this child mean?
Zhang Chunfang felt a little doubtful and dissatisfied. She thought to herself, "I'm just living a normal life. What special situation could there be?"
Is there something wrong with my health?
But apart from being a little tired recently because of some things that have been bothering me, there's nothing else wrong!
It's just been expanded a little, nothing serious.
However, when you, Gu Nan, were born, the expansion was much more severe than it is now.
Could it be that this is what my son wanted to ask?
Oh dear, this is so embarrassing!
Even if he really is feeling unwell, this kid shouldn't have asked such abruptly!
So she replied with a hint of reproach, "Son, what exactly do you mean by that?"
At this moment, Gu Nan stood aside, scratching his head with a fawning smile on his face. He seemed a little embarrassed, but also seemed to have some kind of purpose.
He hesitated for a moment, then finally mustered his courage and said, "What else could it be? I just wanted to ask you, how are things going between you two, Mr. White Lantern?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Chunfang's face turned pale instantly, as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water.
She stared wide-eyed at Gu Nan, never expecting her son to ask such a question.
Zhang Chunfang could see right through her son's thoughts from his straightforward and undisguised expression.
Without a doubt, this guy wanted to use her relationship with Bai Deng to find a powerful backer for himself.
However, Zhang Chunfang's heart was filled with bitterness and helplessness.
She knew that she would never have made this choice if it weren't for the hope that Lin Yaodong would forgive Gu Nan for his mistakes.
During this period, she not only endured the pain caused by the white light, but also faced the torment and struggle deep within her heart. She suffered immense pain, both physically and mentally.
She had to silently endure all of this for her son's future, but now...
"Son, you actually want me to be his mistress?"
Zhang Chunfang stared wide-eyed at her son Gu Nan in disbelief, her voice trembling with anger.
"Oh, Mom, that's really harsh of you! What do you mean by 'lover'? Why can't she be a wife?"
Gu Nan waved his hand dismissively, trying to downplay the seriousness of the topic.
However, his words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Zhang Chunfang's heart.
She felt a rush of heat to her head, and the area in her lower body that had been aching slightly was now hurting even more intensely.
She endured the excruciating pain, slammed her hand on the table, and stood up abruptly.
"Gu Nan!"
Zhang Chunfang glared angrily and shouted, "Do you know that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had to lower myself to that old man! Don't you have any idea how much I've sacrificed for you?"
Seeing his mother so angry, Gu Nan's heart tightened.
But he quickly regained his composure, stepped forward, took Zhang Chunfang's hand, and said softly, "Mom, please don't get agitated. I was just asking casually, I really didn't mean anything by it..."
As he spoke, he gave a fawning smile.
Despite Gu Nan's pleasant words, a hint of dissatisfaction was clearly hidden beneath his smirking face.
It was as if she was muttering to herself, "So what if I ask you to ask that Bai Deng for some extra benefits? What's the big deal? Didn't you used to make a living by selling your body? Now you're acting like a virtuous and chaste woman?"
Although these words were not actually spoken by Gu Nan, they echoed in Zhang Chunfang's ears like a demonic whisper.
Her face grew paler and paler, devoid of any color, like a blank sheet of paper.
In stark contrast, her lips, which were originally slightly pale, now appeared exceptionally rosy. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that she had bitten them open with her teeth, causing a trickle of blood to seep out.
Sure enough, all of these men were the same: selfish and utterly devoid of sincerity.
Gu Bei only saw her as a tool for having children, Lin Yaodong treated her as a gift to be given away casually, and even his own son, whom he carried for ten months, only hoped that she would work harder in bed so that he could enjoy a better material life.
This isn't something a mother would give birth to! This is an animal!
However, only the man named Shen Lihong was different. Although some of his special hobbies were a bit strange, it is undeniable that he treated her with all his heart, even better than he would treat his own daughter.
In that moment of inattention, Zhang Chunfang's thoughts drifted away, and the familiar figure of Shen Lihong involuntarily appeared in her mind.
"Leehom, I'm so sorry..."
Zhang Chunfang murmured to herself, as if Shen Leehom were standing right in front of her.
"Just wait, once we get home, I will do everything I can to make up for what I owe you."
She made up her mind in secret.
