Chapter 1373 - 1412: Little Overlord Gu Sheng
The old man, who had mobility issues, was reluctant to leave the little one behind and rarely visited Jun Moyan, so he decided to stay temporarily.
Because the visit was rushed, all three of them came empty-handed, and the next day they each went to buy gifts for the little one.
When Gu Li came to deliver gifts the next day, that Little Overlord from the Capital City, Gu Sheng, also showed up.
Gu Sheng’s visit wasn’t initiated by Gu Li, but in a way, it was.
He casually asked Gu Li where he was going, and Gu Li mentioned he was going to deliver a birth gift for Jun Moyan’s son, then casually asked if he wanted to join.
Gu Sheng replied, "What’s so interesting about a child?"
Gu Li could see he actually wanted to come, so he deliberately coaxed him by saying, "The baby really looks like Jun Moyan."
And then Gu Sheng came.
Gu Sheng arrived without chatting with Jun Moyan, didn’t greet anyone, just kept his hands in his pockets, occasionally glancing at the little one surrounded by everyone.
In his heart, he probably wanted to step forward and take a closer look at the little one too.
The Jun and Gu families had always been on good terms, but Gu Sheng had disliked Jun Moyan for being a taciturn person and didn’t enjoy playing with him; although, in reality, he had always hoped to become good friends with someone of Jun Moyan’s personality.
He was very conscious of his reputation, and since Jun Moyan wasn’t talkative, he never initiated conversation because of his pride, making interactions with Jun Moyan particularly awkward.
And now, in Gu Sheng’s memory, Jun Moyan remains that taciturn person, and interacting with him still feels awkward.
Seeing everyone focused on the little one, Gu Sheng curled his lips and picked up the baby bottle on the table to look at it.
A car stopped at the entrance, and with impeccable timing, Shangguan Yu arrived. Upon entering the hall, Shangguan Yu was surprised at the lively crowd.
His gaze briefly froze upon seeing Gu Sheng examining the baby bottle.
Gu Sheng instinctively turned to look when someone came in, but upon realizing who it was, he withdrew his gaze and continued looking at the baby bottle.
Nowadays, Gu Sheng had shed the previously gloomy and intimidating aura, resembling more of a carefree playboy, a complete departure from the years when he seemed insane.
Shangguan Yu watched him, frowning subtly.
He seemed to have forgotten everything, now appearing free-spirited and carefree.
Feeling Shangguan Yu’s gaze on him, Gu Sheng looked back at him. Shangguan Yu’s strange expression puzzled Gu Sheng.
"Shangguan," Jun Moyan called out to Shangguan Yu.
Shangguan Yu snapped back to reality, composed himself, and then smiled as he approached everyone.
Gu Sheng, bewildered, placed the baby bottle back on the table.
Gu Li, who had been watching the two throughout, secretly breathed a sigh of relief seeing Gu Sheng’s uneventful behavior.
On the way home, Gu Sheng, perhaps casually or out of curiosity, asked Gu Li, "Why did we only see Jun Moyan’s son and not his wife?"
Gu Li: "The child’s mom is at her parents’ home."
Gu Sheng: "Oh, divorced?"
Gu Li: "Don’t talk nonsense, they’re doing just fine."
Gu Sheng curled his lips and said no more.
...
"An’an, look at this."
Jun Moyan held a chain in his hand, swaying it above the little one’s eyes. The nine little bells on the chain jangled crisply, capturing the little one’s attention.
The little one reached up with a small hand and grabbed the chain.
"Your mom also has a chain like this. She likes it the most because it was given by your dad. Now your dad is giving you one, and you must remember to take good care of it."
This chain was custom-made by Jun Moyan, modeled after Wen Xiao’ai’s chain, with only a few modifications to make it less feminine.
