Chapter Seventy-Seven: Goodnight, Mommy's Baby



"What kind of person is she? Is she as beautiful as you? And... does she love us?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Chuyue asked this question. Gu Baiwei paused for a moment before slowly saying, "Your mother and I are sisters, so of course we look alike... As for personality and character, she should be similar to me. After all, sisters always have many similarities. But there is one thing: she truly loves you all very, very much."

Gu Baiwei tried to speak calmly.

"Unfortunately, I no longer remember what my mother looks like."

Ye Chuyue's voice was unusually low, and it sounded like it had a strong nasal tone.

The bright moonlight shone through the window onto her face, and Gu Baiwei could clearly see the tears she was trying to suppress in her eyes.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she pulled her into her arms: "From now on, I'll be your mother."

Ye Chuyue was enveloped in a warm, fragrant embrace.

Ye Chuyue reached out and hugged Gu Baiwei back, thinking to herself, "It's so good to have an aunt."

At that moment, she felt inexplicably at ease, as if she were truly being held in her mother's arms.

Nestled in that warm embrace, Ye Chuyue quickly became sleepy.

In the past, she would get so excited that she couldn't sleep whenever something important happened, but tonight she slept very soundly.

Looking at the person sleeping in her arms, Gu Baiwei used the moonlight to wipe away the tear stains on Ye Chuyue's chubby little face, and gently kissed her forehead: "Goodnight, Mommy's baby."

The next morning, when Ye Chuyue went downstairs, she found that her usually workaholic brother was sitting at the table eating breakfast, which was a rare sight for him.

He sat opposite Gu Baiwei, and the two ate breakfast with refined manners, their profiles showing a striking resemblance.

However, Ye Sinian quickly noticed him and said coldly, "What time is it? Aren't we supposed to be having a competition? Why aren't you hurrying up?"

Gu Baiwei smiled and waved to her, "Yueyue, come and eat quickly, we're running out of time."

Tsk, they're clearly completely different; she must have been blind just now.

One was as cold as an ice cube, while the other was as gentle as the warm sun in March.

Ice Block spoke up then: "Hurry up, we're leaving in two minutes."

Gu Baiwei hurriedly pushed the sandwich and milk in front of her: "Your brother said he'll take us to the competition today."

Ye Chuyue couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Why was Ice Block being so kind today?

Noticing her gaze, Ye Sinian frowned and urged, "Eat quickly!"

Ye Chuyue tilted her head back and drank the milk in one gulp with great gusto. She then picked up a sandwich, took a big bite, and stood up, saying, "I'm full, I can go now."

Ye Sinian glanced at the sandwich that had only been bitten once, his eyebrows furrowed, but he said nothing. He picked up his suit jacket, draped it over his wrist, and strode towards the door.

Ye Chuyue immediately pulled Gu Baiwei along, thinking that there was no harm in using a free driver.

Ye Sinian was tall and had long legs, so he walked with a powerful stride. Gu Baiwei, who was being held by Ye Chuyue, had to jog to keep up.

But as soon as he stepped out the door, he was dumbfounded.

Assistant Lu poked his head out of the driver's seat: "President Ye."

Big Head also poked his head out of the familiar black sedan: "Miss Gu, our boss has been waiting for you for a long time."

Before he could finish speaking, he caught sight of another car driving by.

The car window rolled down, revealing Qi Yu's pale and handsome face: "Good morning, sister."

Gu Baiwei's lips twitched involuntarily. The three of them really had remarkably similar tastes, all owning black luxury cars, only with slight differences in brand.

Ye Sinian's face immediately darkened: "What are you doing here?"

At this moment, Shen Yanqing's well-defined and delicate face appeared from the car window. Ignoring Ye Sinian, she looked at Gu Baiwei and said, "Weiwei, I'll give you a ride."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qi Yu's teasing voice came over: "Mr. Shen, have you forgotten that you and my sister have broken up? She's my girlfriend now."

"Sister, I'll take you there."

His wet, puppy-dog eyes looked at Gu Baiwei expectantly.

The three cars were parked in a row, all waiting quietly for her response.

While Gu Baiwei hesitated, Ye Chuyue pulled her directly towards Ye Sinian's car: "In terms of relationship, we are the closest. Auntie, please sit in this car."

Without saying a word, he got into the car with his men and ordered Assistant Lu, "Drive."

Ye Sinian followed closely behind and got into the car, his indifferent face still devoid of any extra expression.

Sitting in the back seat, Ye Chuyue suddenly exclaimed, "Brother, is something good happening today? You seem to be in a good mood!"

You've misjudged.

Ye Sinian didn't even turn around. After a pause, he said as if casually, "Good luck in the competition."

The two cars behind, which had been facing each other head-on, saw that the cars in front had driven away and immediately started their cars and stepped on the gas to catch up.

Soon, the car arrived at the styling studio that Ye Sinian had arranged for them the day before.

The stylist was a young man with striking medium-length blonde hair, wearing a floral shirt and skinny jeans, and an exaggerated earring on one ear.

Gu Baiwei was stunned for a moment when she saw that somewhat familiar face.

Shen Shize greeted her quite naturally: "Hi, beautiful, we meet again."

Shen Yanqing, who was following behind, frowned unconsciously when he saw him: "What are you doing here?"

Shen Shize casually sidled up to Gu Baiwei: "Cousin, this is my studio. Where else would I be if not here?"

Shen Yanqing narrowed his eyes, recalling that there seemed to be such a thing.

His cousin has been rebellious since childhood. Instead of inheriting the family's perfectly good company, he insisted on starting his own business outside.

It's said that he worked at a makeup studio, and his aunt beat him up for it, scolding him for being useless.

Last time, his aunt came to Shen Yanqing crying and complaining. Having no other choice, Shen Yanqing let him go to one of his small companies for an internship. But the brat only went for half a day and then disappeared.

"Hey beautiful, are you free tonight? Would you do me the honor of having dinner together?"

Ignoring the dark expressions on the faces of the others present, Shen Shize subtly moved closer to Gu Baiwei: "You still haven't told me your name from last time?"

After returning that time, he tried to subtly inquire with Shen Yanqing, but the man refused to reveal a single word.

That's so stingy! Beautiful women belong to everyone; fair competition is the only way.

Even my cousin can't give in.

As Shen Shize was secretly plotting his own scheme, he suddenly heard Shen Yanqing speak softly, "Do your aunt and uncle know you're here?"

Shen Shize was taken aback: "Cousin, didn't you promise to help me keep it a secret?"

He had already told his cousin that he would tell his parents he was working at the place his cousin had arranged.

Shen Yanqing smiled gently and harmlessly: "I've changed my mind now..."
