In this upscale and luxurious place, the three of them sat down and ordered steak, red wine, and dessert.
Gu Anran found the meal tasteless. Eating with people she didn't like was a form of torture.
She watched as Liu Xinrou kept serving food to Ye Lichuan, but Ye Lichuan didn't eat any of it.
She couldn't understand why someone like Liu Xinrou would be so attentive to a man who didn't even care about her.
Perhaps this is what makes people's lives so different.
It was already dark when they finished their meal. Gu Anran said goodbye to Ye Lichuan and dragged her tired body home.
Suddenly her phone rang. She answered gently and heard, "Hello, Mommy, are you off work yet?"
"Is work tiring?"
Hearing her son's concern, Gu Anran felt her heart fill with joy.
All my fatigue vanished instantly.
She smiled and said, "Mommy's not tired. Have you missed me?"
Gu Xiaotian chuckled and asked, "I've been thinking about it, Mommy, when are you coming back?"

Gu Xiaotian, as if reciting a familiar story, began to count on his little fingers: "I read the books left by the previous owner of the house, and I also took a nap, ate lunch, and washed my own socks."
Gu Anran patted Gu Xiaotian's head with satisfaction, looking at him with heartache. Gu Xiaotian had been quite independent since he could walk, and Gu Anran didn't need her to take care of him much. Now he was more like a little adult, and he would never ask Gu Anran for help with anything he could do himself.
Gu Xiaotian tilted his little head up and asked sweetly, "Mommy, can I pick you up from get off work tomorrow?"
Gu Anran looked at Gu Xiaotian with amusement and asked curiously, "Why did you want to pick me up?"
"Because I'm my mom's little darling."
