Clang!

  The stick in Gu Che’s hand fell to the ground.

  The bodyguards behind Ye Qing heard the commotion and were about to go forward when Ye Qing raised his hand. “All of you, go down.”


  When Ye Qing got out of the car, he had already found the figure in the house.

  It had rained in the fishing village last night and there were several footprints on the steps of the yard. From the size of the footprints and the distance, he guessed that it was Gu Che.

  When Little Gugu saw a long wooden stick that had fallen at his feet, he blinked his big black eyes and looked at the big boy who was standing by the door with eyes as wide as a frog. “You’re my uncle, right?”


  When Little Gugu video-called Gu Meng to say that he had never seen his mother, he had told her the truth. It was true that he had never seen her in person, but his father had let him see photos.

  Before coming to the fishing village, his father had even let him see the photos of his mother’s family.

  His father said that in the past, only his uncle and grandfather were good to his mother, while his grandmother and aunt were bad. Therefore, in his heart, his grandmother and aunt were witches like the Princess.

  Uncle?

  Gu Che looked at the little one in front of him. He was wearing a shirt and denim overalls, a small yellow hat on his head, and a small school bag with a robot design on his back. He was fair and tender, handsome and cute, and smiled at him after he called him uncle.

  Tsk tsk, he looked a little bad.

  “Uncle, you’re holding a rod. Are you trying to catch mice?” Little Gugu reached out its hands and hugged the dazed Gu Che. “Uncle, you’re the best. If my mom comes back and sees how much you love me, she’ll be very happy.”


  Gu Che looked down at Little Gugu, then up at the noble man standing at the door, who made him feel like he was a stranger and yet familiar at the same time. His mouth opened and closed.

  Half an hour later.

  Ye Qing packed his luggage and looked at the adult and child who were playing in the yard.

  His thin lips curled up.

  Gu Che had wanted to beat someone up, but had been subdued by the little devil.

  Ye Qing did not know what Little Gugu had said to Gu Che. When Gu Che was talking to him, he had addressed him as “brother-in-law” directly.

  Gu Che really liked Little Gugu. He cooked personally that night and even called Father Gu over for dinner.

  After drinking a few glasses of wine, Gu Che was no longer as reserved in front of the strong Ye Qing. He asked boldly, “Brother-in-law, will my sister really come back tomorrow?”


  Mr Gu also looked at Ye Qing expectantly.

  “I won’t know until tomorrow.”


  Mr Gu was speechless.

  Gu Che was speechless.

  Seeing the slightly disappointed eyes of Mr Gu and Gu Che, Little Gugu patted his chest. “My mom will definitely come back to acknowledge me.”
……

  Mrs Gu and Gu Jiao were the only ones left in the Gu family and both the mother and daughter’s expressions were dark.

  Gu Che only called Father Gu over for dinner, and the Third Prince had not sent anyone over either. She was furious. “You ingrate. If you really marry into the royal family in the future, you will definitely not take me, your biological mother, seriously!”


  When Gu Jiao heard Mrs Gu’s words, her eyes widened in shock. “Mom, what did you just say?”


  “What did I say?”


  “You said that Gu Meng is not your biological daughter!”


  Mrs Gu slapped her forehead, not daring to look into Gu Jiao’s eyes. “You heard wrong, I didn’t say that.”


  “You said it, Mom. What happened?”


  Mrs Gu patted Gu Jiao’s back. “I told you you heard wrong!”


  Gu Jiao looked at Mrs Gu’s guilty expression and furrowed her eyebrows, suspicion growing in her heart……

  The next day.

  Little Gugu woke up before dawn.

  He was going to see his mother soon. He was excited and looking forward to it!

  When he opened his eyes, he did not expect his father, who was sleeping beside him, to have woken up even earlier!

  Little Gugu put on his shoes and ran out.

  Seeing the man sitting in the yard smoking, Little Gugu walked over. “Daddy, are you very nervous? Are you afraid that Mommy won’t come back?”


  Having his thoughts seen through by the little devil, Ye Qing felt embarrassed. He stubbed his cigarette, put his hands in his pockets, and walked out of the yard.

  “Daddy, where are you going?”


  “Taking a walk.”


  Little Gugu had breakfast and looked around the area afterward, but did not find his father.

  Gu Che came over and found out that Little Gugu could not find his father. He asked around and found out that Ye Qing had gone to the village.

  Little Gugu followed Gu Che to the village entrance, saying as they walked, “My daddy didn’t even eat breakfast and came to wait for my mommy. Sigh, poor old man.”


  Gu Che’s lips twitched.

  Only this little devil dared to insult the Third Prince like this!……

  In the end, the father and son waited for an entire day.

  Gu Che was afraid that they would be hungry, so he sent them lunch and dinner.

  Only Little Gugu ate it. Ye Qing did not.

  At eight in the evening, Ye Qing suddenly turned and left.

  When he left, his well-defined face was tensed, looking exceptionally cold and fierce.

  He was clearly unhappy.

  “Brother-in-law, it’s not midnight yet. Aren’t you going to wait?”


  The tall and cold man had already walked away.

  Gu Che looked at Little Gugu, who was sitting on a rock with her chin resting on her hands. “Your dad left. Aren’t you leaving?”


  “I’m not leaving. If my mom sees me first when she comes, she would think that she didn’t come for nothing!”


  Gu Che was speechless. He could not keep up with the logic of children nowadays.

  They waited for another hour.

  Even Gu Che felt that his sister might not come back today. Just as he was about to persuade Little Gugu to go back to sleep, a car light flashed in the distance.

  “Uncle, look. Is there a car coming?” Little Gugu stood up from the stone excitedly.

  Gu Che looked closely and it seemed like a car was driving over from afar.

  He immediately became nervous and excited simultaneously.

  Before long, a taxi stopped at the village entrance.

  The back door opened and a graceful figure appeared in front of Little Gugu and Gu Che.

  The woman pulled her luggage towards them. Under the car lights, her pretty face gradually became clearer.

  When Little Gugu saw a woman who was even more charming than in the photos, he, who was usually kind and playful, suddenly could not say a word.

  Tears filled his large black eyes. The moment the woman approached him, he suddenly hid behind Gu Che.

  “Sister!” Gu Che’s eyes welled up with tears when he saw Gu Meng. He pulled Little Gugu, wanting to go forward, but Little Gugu escaped from his hand and ran away.

  Gu Meng’s heart tightened when she saw that Little Gugu had run away.

  Gu Che came over and pulled Gu Meng into his arms. “Sister, where have you been for the past two years? Why couldn’t I contact you? I thought……” He thought that she had met with some accident.

  Gu Meng hugged Gu Che back, her tears falling onto his shoulders. “I’m sorry, Xiao Che. There are some things that I can’t explain to you right now.”


  Gu Che did not ask anything. He took Gu Meng’s luggage and pointed in the direction where Little Gugu had disappeared. “I’ve been waiting for you the whole day. Go and coax him!”
