Chapter 384 - 362: The Child’s Father
"Tomorrow I will visit my grandmother’s house to propose.""Who’s your grandmother! Don’t call her that too early!"
Xiaoxiao was sitting in the car, watching her older sister and grandmother detain Gu Moming, instantly filled with worry. She looked at Yingying in her arms, who had just been fed and was slowly closing her eyes. Hastily, she handed Yingying to Su Nian beside her, "Mom, you hold her first, I’ll go down and take a look."
"Your boyfriend?"
Xiaoxiao sweetly smiled and replied, "The child’s father."
Saying this, she showed off the ring on her hand, saying happily, "He just bought this for me."
Su Nian glared at her: "You went out at night leaving your daughter just for this?"
Xiaoxiao smiled thinly, pushed open the car door, and went down.
Su Nian watched her silhouette, took a deep breath, and smiled relievedly.
Seeing one’s child living happily is undoubtedly the greatest comfort for a parent.
"Grandma!" Before Xiaoxiao could run over, she called out loudly from afar, deeply fearing that Gu Moming would be bullied by them.
Grandma turned and looked at her: "What are you doing down here? Where’s Yingying?"
Xiaoxiao ran over and naturally stood beside Gu Moming, replying to Grandma: "She’s asleep. What are you guys doing?"
An’an rolled her eyes at her: "Look at you!"
"What’s wrong with me?"
Gu Moming lowered his head to look at her, an light smile appearing on his face, his hand falling on her head, "It’s getting late. Grandma, you all should go back and rest."
Grandma didn’t forget to scold him: "Next time you try driving drunk and taking Xiaoxiao out, see what happens!"
Before Gu Moming could speak, Xiaoxiao said: "Grandma, I asked him to accompany me drinking.
"You’re already defending him, and you’re not even married yet. What’s the point of raising you!"
Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly, hugging Grandma’s arm and acting spoiled, "Grandma~"
"Let’s go, let’s go back. We caused quite a scene in the middle of the night. An’an, go inside and check on your dad."
Xiaoxiao supported Grandma and walked a few steps, then looked back at Gu Moming and waved at him with a smile.
Gu Moming smiled lightly, taking a deep breath, even the cool night was warmed by her smile.
Seeing her run back towards him after walking a few steps, taking off her coat while saying: "Here, your clothes."
Gu Moming pressed down on her hand, lifting the coat back up, "Wear it."
Xiaoxiao looked up at him, shyly turning her gaze away, and softly said, "Good night."
He used to think that besides Gu Qimiao, he needed no one else.
He thought the woman he wanted to spend his life with was only Gu Moming, so when Xiaoxiao entered his life, he rejected it. Or rather, at that time, he rejected all women except Gu Qimiao.
Moreover, she was Shen Yanchen’s sister. When she confessed to him, his first reaction was that it was a plot, a scheme by Shen Yanchen to take Gu Qimiao away from him.
So he hated her existence, regardless of how pure her intentions were, how innocent her smile was, he treated her coldly and even ignored her.
It was only when Gu Qimiao slowly distanced herself from him that he realized that perhaps what he felt for her was merely familial dependency, or maybe mutual companionship born from shared suffering.
He thought in this alienating world, only she and he were truly of one world, understanding each other’s pain, relying on and taking care of each other...
He thought that was the most beautiful life, considering any outside interference as an attempt to disrupt their peace.
He feels genuinely guilty towards Xiaoxiao, and having this outcome is truly his good fortune.
