Gu Xiaotian looked at Gu Anran with his big, watery eyes and promised, "Mommy, I will try my best and won't let you down."
Gu Anran held her son with eyes full of happiness.
Today the sun is shining brightly and a gentle breeze is blowing.
Gu Anran plans to meet with Fu Mingchen today.
The call connected: "Hello."
On the other end of the phone, Fu Mingchen sounded exhausted; he had been numbing himself with alcohol for the past two days.
Although I should have been happy to hear about Gu Anran's situation.
But knowing she had a child plunged her into despair.
Gu Anran frowned and asked with concern, "Ah Chen, what's wrong?"
Fu Mingchen lay on the bed, completely listless, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's nothing, I've just been busy with work lately, I guess I'm tired."
"What's wrong, Ran?"
"It's been so long since we last met. I was thinking of asking you out for a meal, but you look so tired. How about we reschedule?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Mingchen jumped out of bed and said happily, "It's okay, I'm not tired. You can see me anytime."
She covered her mouth and chuckled, then asked worriedly, "Are you sure?"
"Then we'll meet at the Ors Restaurant later."
Gu Anran couldn't help but recall the past: "Fu Mingchen and I were childhood sweethearts, but because of Liu Xinrou's scheming..."
I had no choice but to...
She shed tears of sadness. She didn't want to be a burden to Fu Mingchen, so she always stayed in touch with Fu Mingchen's friends.
But she knew in her heart what Fu Mingchen's feelings were for her.
She was wearing a light blue dress and a fisherman's hat.
Holding Gu Xiaotian's hand as they walked down the street, they were a beautiful sight to behold.
Many people couldn't help but turn their gaze to her.
When she arrived at the Ors Restaurant, she stood downstairs, wondering how he had changed after so long.
The greeter at the door approached and politely asked, "Are you Ms. Gu Anran?"
Gu Anran smiled and replied, "Yes."
The service staff member led the way very politely, saying, "Hello, Miss, Mr. Fu Mingchen asked me to wait for you."
Gu Anran led Gu Xiaotian into the hall, a place she had visited before.
Today's decorations are quite different.
Colorful helium balloons floated in the air above the hall, roses were tied to the spiral staircase, and irregular rose petals were scattered on both sides.
It's so beautiful it seems otherworldly.
Looking at the arrangement before him, Gu Xiaotian understood.
Mommy is really popular.
Gu Anran led Gu Xiaotian by the hand, walking along with the greeter.
As soon as she went up to the second floor, she saw Fu Mingchen standing in the distance.
He's still so handsome; time seems to have left no trace on him.
Years have passed, but he is still as sunny and handsome as ever.
Fu Mingchen waved at Gu Anran and shouted excitedly, "Xiao Ran!"
Ye Lichuan and his client came out to discuss business, and just as they stepped out of the private room, they witnessed this scene.
He stared intently at Gu Anran.
She looks beautiful today.
Gu Xiaotian had already gone into the private room, originally intending to give his mother and handsome uncle a chance.
Gu Anran felt uncomfortable being stared at.
She turned around and was stunned when she saw the person in front of her.
She thought to herself, "What a small world, I can even see him here."
He originally intended to pretend he didn't see it, but he didn't expect Gu Anran to turn around.
Ye Lichuan walked over indifferently, glancing at him with displeasure: "You're dressed really badly."
"How dare you come out dressed like that and scare people?"
Gu Anran was about to say something when Ye Lichuan had already left.
Gu Anran rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Are you crazy?"
Did I eat your rice?
"I'll drink your water again."
Ye Lichuan didn't know what was wrong with him, but seeing her dressed up and with another man made him feel uncomfortable.
I felt inexplicably choked up.
Fu Mingchen walked over and looked at Ye Lichuan with a puzzled expression, asking, "Do you know him?"
Gu Anran said angrily, "My company boss."
"He probably has a mental illness."
Fu Mingchen squinted as he watched Ye Lichuan's departing figure.
He looked at Gu Anran and smiled, saying, "Let's go in."
Gu Anran nodded.
The private room was very spacious and had a small children's playground.
Xiao Tian was having a great time playing by himself.
Actually, he wasn't interested in these toys, but he reluctantly played with them for a while in order to create opportunities for his mom and handsome uncle.
Fu Mingchen gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Gu Anran.
He sat down opposite him.
The waiter came in, took our order, poured us some red wine, and left, closing the door behind him.
Fu Mingchen raised his wine glass and stared intently at her: "Ah Ran, long time no see."
Gu Anran raised her glass and smiled slightly: "Long time no see."
Fu Mingchen asked Gu Anran about her recent life.
He learned of her ordeal and felt deeply for her.
Gu Anran recalled the past as if she had experienced it all over again.
Seeing her in so much pain, Fu Mingchen felt heartbroken.
He looked at Gu Anran earnestly and said with heartache, "I will help you investigate what happened back then."
He didn't dare to push Gu Anran too hard. Now that he knew she was single, he felt like he had been revitalized.
The dishes were served quickly, and his eyes were filled with Gu Anran's image. He vowed never to let her suffer even the slightest grievance again.
He will take care of her for the rest of her life.
Gu Anran cut the steak for Gu Xiaotian.
Gu Xiaotian watched as Gu Anran and Fu Mingchen happily devoured their food.
He thought the food tasted really good today.
Gu Anran remembered Gu Xiaotian's situation. She looked up at Fu Mingchen apologetically and said, "Ah Chen, I'm sorry to have troubled you with Xiaotian's matter."
