  When Gu Jinglian returned to the cabin, Chu He was already asleep. However, because of the injury on her back, she had no choice but to lie down and sleep.

  Linxi gently covered himself with the blanket. Gu Jinglian sat on the bed. Seeing how sensible Linxi was, the man suddenly asked him, “What do you plan to do after we return to the country?”


  When the boy heard this, he immediately froze, and fell silent! Without his parents, he had no home. Even if he returned to the country, he did not know where he should go!

  Seeing his hesitant expression, Gu Jinglian suddenly asked, “Would you like to be my son?”


  Upon hearing this, Linxi’s eyes widened and he became flustered. “I…”


  “You don’t have to call me father. It’s just that you don’t have a home. I can’t just send you to a welfare center.” The man continued, “After we arrive, I will settle the adoption procedures. I will acknowledge you as my adopted son, raise you, and provide for your studies. How about that?”


  He sounded like he was discussing with him and was obviously respecting his opinion. This made Linxi even more hesitant.

  “Is this really possible? Would it be too much trouble for you guys… I’m afraid that it will burden you!” Linxi was a very sensible boy and was naturally worried that he would cause trouble for Gu Jinglian and Chu He. He had overheard them mention that they already had a son. Would raising him cause any trouble?

  Gu Jinglian smiled. He did not mention his background to this child, and Linxi did not know much about the Gu family.

  Not to mention one child, even if there were a hundred of him, there would be no burden.

  Gu Jinglian said, “Don’t worry, as long as you’re willing.”


  Lin Xi nodded slowly. “Yes, I’m willing… And, I’ll study hard. I’ll take it that I’m borrowing money from you! When I grow up and start working, I’ll pay you back!”


  Her childish words made Gu Jinglian laugh!

  He gestured to the boy and said, “Come here.”


  Linxi walked over. Gu Jinglian held him in his arms and helped him lie on the bed. “Go to sleep!”


  He then covered the boy with the blanket.

  Linxi was surprised. “Uncle, aren’t you sleeping?”


  “I’m not tired.”


  Linxi pursed his lips and did not insist. He was indeed tired, so once he closed his eyes, he quickly fell asleep!

  Gu Jinglian looked at his peaceful sleeping face and his expression darkened.

  At this point, he was conflicted about Gong Fan. That child looked exactly like Yun Tianyou. That was a long time ago.

  It was rumored that Mu Yazhe had lost his beloved son in an accident. Although this matter was not made public, they moved in the same circle. As far as he knew, Yun Shishi had yet to get over the pain and trauma of having lost Youyou.

  Could two people look exactly the same in this world?

  According to his analysis, if Yun Tianyou had not died, he would be eight or nine years old.

  Gu Jinglian became increasingly suspicious. He had a feeling that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Perhaps, there was something more to it. However, he did not need to think about these troublesome matters now!

  He gently leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.

  …


  After three days and three nights of sailing, they finally arrived at Victoria Harbor on the fourth day.

  Butler Fu was already waiting at the port. Baby Chu was there too.

  Gu Jinglian carried Linxi and held Chu He’s hand as they disembarked from the ship. Baby Chu was the first to notice them in the crowd and he pounced on them excitedly!
