cent of sandalwood burning, Su Keixin stepped inside and instantly felt like she had traveled through time.The old man had changed into a long robe and was sitting behind his desk. From the moment she...Blue smoke drifted from his mouth, swirling in the air. He was lounging with his legs crossed, looking relaxed and carefree. A gramophone beside him, showing signs of age, spun continuously, playing a Russian classical piece called "Red Flowers Bloom."

"Ling Chen, why do you have to spread this news so widely" He flicked his cigarette ash lightly, "Brother, I'm not boasting, but you really are capable. You even managed to get Gu Wang and Shan Mao caught in your web."

Ling Chen's lips curled up, he took a small sip of the green tea on the table and continued to listen to the man's words: "Ling Chen, you said why are you going to such great lengths, could it be that after so many years, you still haven't let go of that woman"

"How could I possibly let her go She's my world, my everything. If I lost her, there's no way I'd have flown all the way back from abroad."

That man flicked his cigarette butt and said, "As your brother, let me tell you, that Zhao woman isn't only married, she has kids too. You have money, are young and already a university professor, a renowned scholar in the medical field. Why do you insist on hanging yourself on her tree"

Ling Chen drained the tea in his hand.

"You're still too young. It's not easy to find someone you love in a lifetime, and it's even harder to have the chance to pursue the person you love."

“Well then, are you really going to try and break them up” The man raised an eyebrow. “Even if you manage to get them apart, the child is a fact. Are you really that generous, that generous you'd stay with her and raise someone else's child”

Ling Chen didn't reply to him, instead, she laughed as she listened to his words.

"Mountain Cat, have some water. Don't just sit there alone." Shangguan Nana held a glass in her slender hand and stood timidly behind Mountain Cat.

The mountain cat's fur was fluffy and disheveled, and from the moment she knew him to now, she had never seen him look so helpless.

"Mountain Cat, can you say something Please. This way, I'm very worried..." Shangguan Nana saw that Mountain Cat ignored her and stepped forward to gently pat his shoulder.

"Nana, we shouldn't be hiding this from the boss. We both know there's no way to keep it a secret, yet we chose this stupid way. You know This morning, I could see the disappointment in his eyes. After we survived the army, he always trusted me so much. But this time, he's truly hopeless."

Shangguan Nana also had a face full of guilt. If it weren't for her hesitation back then, Gu Wang and Shanmao wouldn't have gotten their relationship to this point of tension.

Her only worry was, given Zhao Yino's personality, how could she have done something that would lead to misunderstandings and make Gu Wang furious

Sheng Na held the mountain cat in her arms. The scent emanating from him was vastly different from the sunny aura she had felt when they first met, and the mountain cat seemed filled with sorrow as well.

They had just gotten married, but they were already facing problems. Even though their friends around them were experiencing emotional crises, the relationship between these two was closer than any siblings could be.

“Excuse me, Master and Mistress, it was the young mistress who came here. She said she wanted to take the young master out for some sunshine. She is the young master's wife, and I don't think there's anything wrong with her taking the child...” The nanny stood before them, shrinking and stammering.

Gu's mother was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat. "No one answered the phone, she took the kids out and it wasn't a big deal, how come she couldn't bring them back"

Gu's father also took his phone and called Gu Wang's company, but the line was always busy. Even Gu's father, who usually had a good temper, was getting angry.

He rolled up his sleeves and threw his phone onto the sofa: "Busy, busy, busy, I don't even know what he's always so busy with. He doesn't even care about his own son!"

"Do you think he'll fight with Enoch What if Enoch, when angry, takes the child away" Mother Gu frowned, tugged at his clothes, and looked worried: "What if Enoch takes Chenhao away and doesn't let us see him Chenhao is our Gu family's child!"。Even the cleverest child is still just a five-year-old, and neither he nor Cheng Luo had ever told him about Gu Chi. 。I just told him that his father died before he was born, so he wouldn't think ab...
