When they arrived at the main residence, Gu Yu Cheng saw Gu An An jumping out of the car and walking familiarly towards the front door. Gu Yu Cheng did not stop him.

Then he saw Gu An An skillfully press a series of numbers on the door lock.

The door opened.

Mrs Gu rebuked him as she walked over, “Gu Yu Cheng, you still know how to come back! Do you know what this family has been made into by you and that Bai Xin Yu…”

But the moment she saw the child standing in the doorway, she stopped talking abruptly.

“Gu Yu Cheng, who is this child? Is it a child you fathered outside?”

It was no wonder that Yu Jing thought this way. Mainly because this child and Gu Yu Cheng looked too much alike.

It was clearly impossible to say he had no idea.

But if he were to disagree, Gu Yu Cheng seemed to feel uncomfortable psychologically.

Before Gu Yu Cheng could consider how to answer, Gu An An had already called out ‘Grandma’ obediently.

Being called ‘Grandma’ by Gu An An made Yu Jing melt. Most of her frustration dissipated.

Looking at Gu An An again, Yu Jing actually liked him a little bit from the bottom of her heart.

“Child, what’s your name?”

“Gu Yan Rui. My nickname is An An. Grandma, you can just call me An An.”

“An An. You’re so obedient. Where’s your mother?” Yu Jing desperately wanted to know who the child’s mother was.

If she (Gu An An’s mother) was really someone Gu Yu Cheng liked, she would not act unreasonably to cause the child to only be brought back when he is about ten years old.

“My mother? Ay, she’s from another world.”

Gu An An was referring to Su Rui being in another world, the world he came from.

But Yu Jing interpreted these words differently.

Instantly, she looked at Gu An An’s eyes with pity.

“Oh my. Don’t be sad. You have your paternal grandma and your dad here. From now on, you can live with grandma. Grandma will dote on you.”

The fact that she forced Gu Yu Cheng to go on a blind date all these years and arranged for him to meet women may be somewhat outrageous, but she was still doing it for the good of Gu Yu Cheng, right?

What’s wrong with hoping her son will quickly have a family and a child of his own?

On the contrary, Gu Yu Cheng was even more repulsed with matchmaking processes because of some trouble during the process.

Over time, the two of them seemed to be in a conflict. One party did not give in, and a stalemate was reached.

However, she did not expect that Gu Yu Cheng would actually find a random woman to deal with after being vexed by it.

At first, she thought that what was done cannot be undone. Yu Jing still treated Bai Xin Yu very well. But after really getting along, she realised that she was fooled by her own son. And Bai Xin Yu, this woman, was detestable.

As Yu Jing thought about Bai Xin Yu, Yu Jing’s blood pressure went up again.

“What’s going on?”

“You can have a look at it yourself.” Yu Jing threw the stack of documents at Gu Yu Cheng.

The absolutely disgraceful thing her son did.Yu Jing might not object if Bai Xin Yu wanted a divorce as she found someone truly good to her.

But this Bai Xin Yu actually takes their family’s money to commit extramarital affairs.

To go to that White Horse Club to hang out and actually be photographed!

And that’s not all.

Gu Yu Cheng’s face turned dark while looking at the documents thrown over by Mrs Gu. A stern expression flashed across his eyes.

“I’ll go and call her back.” Then, they can directly deal with this matter.

“Do I even need to wait for you to do so? I’ve already asked the driver to get her here.”

……

After Bai Xin Yu was brought back, she flew into a rage when she saw Gu An An, who had coaxed Yu Jing into a happy state.

“Who is he? Who is this child? Why is he calling you grandma?!” Not only did Gu Yu Cheng cheat on her, but he also brought a child back. Is he trying to humiliate her?

Bai Xin Yu glared madly at Gu An An. She lunged forward and tried to pull Gu An An.

Before Bai Xin Yu could touch Gu An An, Gu Yu Cheng instinctively protected Gu An An and stood in front of Gu An An. While Bai Xin Yu was also pulled back by their family’s staff.

Gu Yu Cheng looked at Bai Xin Yu menacingly and said coldly, “Bai Xin Yu, you seem to have forgotten the contents of our contract.”

Bai Xin Yu suddenly felt scared after being stared at by Gu Yu Cheng in such a manner. She had always been afraid of Gu Yu Cheng.

And Gu Yu Cheng was right.

According to their premarital agreement, Gu Yu Cheng gave her the status of Mrs Gu, settled her debts, and gave her material living expenses in all aspects. The only thing she needed to do was stay in the main residence, be Mrs Gu and not do anything that would violate or affect the reputation of the Gu family.

Other than that, the two will not interfere with each other’s matters.

Finally, if either party wishes to divorce, the other party will unconditionally agree with the divorce.

In other words, as long as Gu Yu Cheng was willing, he could take back everything he gave her at any time, including the status of Mrs Gu.

Although Gu Yu Cheng would give her a living expense after the divorce, the money stipulated in the contract would not be enough to cover her expenses with her current consumption.

As Bai Xin Yu thought about this, terror streaked through her.

She can’t divorce!

On the side, Gu An An was equally displeased when he saw Bai Xin Yu’s appearance.

“You scum! How dare you betray my mother and have an affair!” Gu An An finished speaking and felt that something was wrong. But since he had already said it, he was too lazy to correct himself.

“I told you before, I’m married,” Gu Yu Cheng said. After a pause, he explained, “I don’t know who your mother is.”

Upon hearing this, Gu An An pursed his lips.

“Even if that is the case, your taste is so bad!” Gu An An said disdainfully.

This woman from top to bottom isn’t as good as Su Rui. No, she does not have any comparability with Su Rui.

Gu Yu Cheng actually chose to marry this kind of woman.

Gu An An seemed to understand the statement her godmother kept saying, ‘All the good cabbage crops have been eaten or ruined by the pigs.’.^[1]

It is indeed bad.

Gu Yu Cheng did not refute Gu An An’s words.

At that time, Mrs Gu had arranged blind dates and women for Gu Yu Cheng to an exaggerated extent. He was indeed vexed by it.

Turning nearly forty, Gu Yu Cheng was actually no longer considering marriage.

If they want a child, he can do in vitro fertilisation.

However, Mrs Gu still has not given up yet.

In the end, Gu Yu Cheng simply found a random woman and obtained a marriage certificate after being pestered beyond his endurance. This stopped Mrs Gu’s crazy actions.

Even if his partner isn’t Bai Xin Yu, it would also be some other marriageable woman who was not considering marriage.

Now, it seems that he may also be wrong about this.

After taking a glance at Gu An An, he thought to himself.

On the other end, Bai Xin Yu, who had been paying attention to Gu Yu Cheng’s face, started to panic.

“Yu Cheng, listen to my explanation. I went to the clubhouse to play and did a stupid thing so that you will be angry with me. I’m wrong. I will definitely not do this again. Just give me another chance, I…”

“No need. I was wrong about this matter. So, this marriage is also no longer necessary to continue to exist.”

Previously, Mrs Gu reached a dead end because of this matter. Isn’t that the same for him?

……

“In that world, how did your family get along?” On the way back, Gu Yu Cheng couldn’t help but ask in the car.

“What else could there be? My dad fights with me all day long, and my mom occasionally watches from the sidelines when she doesn’t want to be the mediator.”

“Do you like that family?”

“Duh.”

After that, Gu An An told Gu Yu Cheng a lot more about his family.

“What kind of a woman is your mother?” Gu Yu Cheng suddenly wanted to know what kind of woman could build a family with him in the other world.

“……”

Gu Yu Cheng didn’t hear Gu An An’s answer. He turned his head and realised that the boy had fallen asleep.

Gu An An stayed in this world for a week.

During this week, Mrs Gu was in a cheerful mood because of Gu An An’s presence.

Although the small problems between her and Gu Yu Cheng had not been entirely resolved, they were at least able to sit down and talk calmly.

And on the other side.

Gu An An finally came back after being missing for a whole week.

Su Rui and the others found Gu An An near Gu Company.

When they found this guy, he wore clothes of unknown origin and appeared to be quite energetic. It did not look like he had been kidnapped or had run away from home for a few days.

“Gu Yan Rui! Where did you run off to? Are you trying to scare me to death?!” Su Rui hugged her son and slapped Gu An An hard a few times.

“I…” Gu An An didn’t know how to explain this week’s mysterious experience.

Luckily, Su Rui didn’t continue asking about this.

“Mum, I’m sorry.” Gu An An apologised. Then, he glanced at Gu Yu Cheng, who was standing not far behind Su Rui.

Sure enough, there were still some differences between the two people.

Noticing her son’s small movements, Su Rui asked softly, “Why? Are you still upset with your father?”

“No.” Gu An An whispered, “I didn’t take it to heart a long time ago.”

Moreover, his current dad is really too benevolent compared to the seriousness of Gu Yu Cheng in that world.

……

In the other world.

Although Gu Yu Cheng was regretful of Gu An An’s sudden appearance and disappearance, he didn’t seem too surprised.

As for Mrs Gu, “Gu Yu Cheng” casually gave an excuse. He just said that Gu An An was a child he found specifically to divorce Bai Xin Yu and to help Mrs Gu undo the knots in her heart. Now, he has already left.

“Chairman, Bai uh…the last payment over there has already been made.”

“En.”

“In addition, this time, our charity project in cooperation with Renai Medical to treat special conditions with compassion is progressing very well. Currently, there are cured patients with AS syndrome. This is a thank you letter from one of the cured patients.”

……

End

The author has something to say:

The original intention of writing this novel was to narrate a real and beautiful love through words. his is from meeting one another, falling in love to the final companionship. I put a lot of small happiness into the small details. As far as possible, I tried to make the worldview, all the story scenes, and each character’s personality more realistic. I hope you can feel that such love is not exaggerating. It is not just something that exists on paper and it is a love that we can actually possess.

The novel might have some points of disagreement or imperfections. Thank you for your tolerance~

Speaking of which, as a single dog,^[3] this novel and every plot is a blind spot of knowledge for me. (Spit) I should say a brand new aspect of knowledge, but also a learning process. While I was writing this, I really felt like I wanted to date someone every day. Haha.
