"Why are you getting a divorce so soon? When you got married, didn't you swear that you would grow old together?" The older woman's voice was as loud as ever.
“You…” Su Mu looked as aggrieved as a little white rabbit, holding onto Li Anran, tears welling up in her eyes.
Li Anran gently wiped away the tears from Su Mu's eyes, her eyes filled with heartache.
The older sister suddenly laughed: "Oh my! What kind of 'yesterday once again' scenario is this? Do you really think that just because you changed the male lead, I can watch it as a completely new story?"
Li Anran retorted angrily, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll file a complaint against you!"
"Oh? You're complaining about me now? The last person to complain about me was right behind you! I bet he regrets it now. Don't believe me? Ask him."
Liao Nanxing awkwardly turned her face away.
The older woman chuckled and took the materials: "Alright. You've all been here before, so I won't explain the cooling-off period to you."
Su Mu gritted his teeth, grabbed Li Anran, and left without looking back.
Liao Nanxing gave his eldest sister a meaningful look, then turned away dejectedly.
Actually, he really regretted it.
He regretted divorcing Zhou Chunhua and regretted... marrying Su Mu.
As Liao Nanxing walked out of the government service hall, he looked into the distance, where hope was just around the corner.
In another two weeks, he will be able to be reborn.
Looking back on the past six months, it felt like he had experienced a hellish nightmare.
For the rest of my life, I will take this as a warning.
As the sun set, Liao Nanxing took a deep breath and drove straight home.
He had been running all day and was indeed feeling tired.
Since there are caregivers at the hospital, I wouldn't be able to help much if I went there myself. I might as well rest today and visit the old lady at the hospital tomorrow.
With this thought, the guilt that had been weighing on Liao Nanxing's heart vanished.
...
Over here, Su Mu was practically clinging to Li Anran, his eyes brimming with tears: "Anran, you won't listen to that woman's nonsense, and then..."
"No, Mumu, nothing anyone says can affect my love for you." Li Anran placed a firm kiss on Su Mu's forehead.
Feeling Li Anran's intense love, Su Mu finally felt relieved.
She pressed her face tightly against Li Anran's arm.
She said softly, "Anran, thank you. Thank you for accepting Xiaobao for my sake. If you really can't face him, you must, you must tell me, and I can think of other ways. I really don't want this little thing to affect us."
She was truly determined to live a good life with Li Anran.
She simply had no other choice but to hand Xiaobao over to those two beasts, Liao Nanxing and Xu Xiuzhen. She couldn't even bear to imagine what terrible things they might do to the child if he fell into their hands.
Perhaps... perhaps the child won't even have the chance to grow up.
"Mumu, why are you bringing this up again? How could I not accept Xiaobao? I can accept your past, everything about you."
“Anran…” Su Mu was so moved that he couldn’t speak.
At that moment, she felt reborn.
She and her child were finally able to escape the hellish Liao family.
If she waits just one more month, she will be able to rightfully become Mrs. Li and truly live the wonderful life of a wealthy woman.
And her son, at this moment, was destined to be extraordinary.
On the way back, Su Mu had already planned out his future life.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhou Chunhua had already prepared to meet with Lu Ming alone.
"Or perhaps we should just disappear?" Gu Yao said cautiously.
"I must see him," Zhou Chunhua said firmly. "This time, I will make him talk."
Gu Yao hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Actually, what he wanted to say was that even if he didn't go to see Lu Ming, he still had ways to get Lu Ming to talk.
But... he knew that loving someone wasn't about keeping them as a pet, but about accompanying them through thick and thin and soaring through the skies.
"Okay. I'll wait for you at the door tomorrow."
"Um."
The two locked eyes for a moment, then Zhou Chunhua hurriedly looked away.
"What would you like to eat today? I'll make it." She got up and fled into the kitchen as if escaping.
God knows, seeing Gu Yao's face too often always makes me inexplicably uneasy.
Especially the way Gu Yao looked at her just now—suppressed, heartbroken, even…longing.
She was no longer an innocent little girl, so how could she not know that that kind of look should appear in the eyes of a lover?
Thinking of this, Zhou Chunhua shuddered, and then slapped herself repeatedly in the face.
Zhou Chunhua felt like she had gone mad.
Otherwise, how could one interpret such an emotion that shouldn't exist from Gu Yao's eyes!
She shook her head, banishing those utterly ridiculous ideas from her mind.
Finally, to summarize, it's 1000% a case of misreading.
Just as Zhou Chunhua was turning her back to the dining room and trying to numb herself with busyness, Gu Yao, sitting at the table, secretly took a selfie with her back to him.
The caption reads: "Enjoying every day with you."
Published.
Within seconds, several comments appeared below.
Gu Yao didn't pay any attention to what they said; instead, he smiled and scrolled through the posts he had previously made on WeChat Moments.
This place records every little detail of their reunion.
He treasured each and every one of them.
...
Hospital.
Having gone hungry for yet another day, Xu Xiuzhen was now seeing stars.
Two and a half days! She hasn't eaten anything for two and a half days.
Even my stomach didn't have the strength to growl anymore.
She stared longingly toward the door, hoping the caregiver would appear there with dinner soon.
However, as time passed, the caregiver was nowhere to be seen.
I was already irritable, and being so hungry that my stomach was practically sticking to my back made me even more irritable.
Unexpectedly, the daughter of the woman in the next bed kept chattering away, which made her even more annoyed.
"Mom! Take a good look at the aunt next door. If you ever favor my brother again, let me tell you, even if you beat me to death, I will never care about you again!"
Then you'll end up like the aunt in the next bed, abandoned here to fend for yourself. Look, her son hasn't even shown up. Can you believe how pitiful she is?
In the past, she would have at least jumped up and talked to her for a bit.
But today, she simply didn't have the energy to even nag.
Her remaining strength was only enough to keep her breathing.
At this moment, Xu Xiuzhen couldn't help but glance at the time again.
It's 8:42...
She began to worry that the caregiver might have forgotten to buy her food.
Or... because she didn't eat breakfast and lunch, the caregiver thought she didn't want to eat dinner either?
Just as Xu Xiuzhen was so hungry that tears were welling up in her eyes, the caregiver finally appeared.
She suddenly poked her head out from under the covers.
"How many times have you come back?"
