Chapter 1 - Becoming a Mother Overnight
n
n
n
n
n
n“Mommy.”
n
n“Mommy, wake up!”
n
nIn her dream, Su Luo heard children’s voices and awoke slowly.
n
nShe struggled to open her eyes; everything looked so strange.
n
nWhere was she?
n
nShouldn’t she be sleeping in her own bedroom?
n
n“Mommy, you’re finally awake!”
n
n“You promised to take us out. You got to keep your promise.”
n
nTwo pairs of small hands grabbed Su Luo’s arms and shook her.
n
nMommy… were they calling her?
n
nSu Luo remembered she had stayed overnight to finish a novel; was she hallucinating because of that?
n
nSu Luo turned around and looked. She saw a boy and a girl, both about two to three years old. They looked alike and were standing by the bed, watching her happily.
n
n“Are you calling me mommy?”
n
nSu Luo pointed at herself and asked confusedly.
n
n“Of course, you’re our mommy. Who else can you be?”
n
nThe girl asked, perplexed.
n
n“Mommy, are you dreaming?”
n
nThe boy looked concerned.
n
nSu Luo was stunned by their replies.
n
nShe had been single for more than 20 years, since when had she become a mother of two?
n
n“Hey cutie pies, you can eat whatever you like, but you can’t call anyone mommy. I am not even married. How could I have children as big as you two?”
n
nAs soon they heard her, the two kids started crying.
n
nSniffle, sniffle. “Mommy doesn’t want us anymore!”
n
n“You ARE our mommy!”
n
nSu Luo had no experience with children. When the two children cried, she immediately panicked. “Don’t cry, but I am really not…”
n
nBefore Su Luo could even finish, the door was open and a dashing man entered.
n
nHe hurried to Su Luo’s side and hugged the two children and comforted them. “Xixi, Beibei, don’t cry. Let mommy sleep. Let’s go out and play, okay?”
n
nThe girl said to the man with teary eyes. “Daddy, mommy doesn’t recognize us anymore!”
n
nThe boy clenched his small fists and pouted. Tears streamed down his face.
n
nThe man stared at Su Luo in disbelief. He seemed to be upset and tried to suppress his anger. “Su Luo! You’ve gone too far! You don’t have to like me but how can you treat your own children like that?”
n
nSu Luo was competely shocked by the man’s accusation.
n
nAll of a sudden, she seemed to have become a bit** who abandoned her husband and children?
n
n“Hi handsome, who are you?”
n
nSu Luo tried very hard to recall, but was pretty sure that she had never met him before.
n
nThe man was so angry that his whole body was trembling. “Su Luo, is it fun to humiliate me? I’m Gu Zhan, your legal husband, Gu Zhan.”
n
nGu Zhan?
n
nThe name sounded so familiar. Su Luo suddenly remembered. Wasn’t it the name of the guy in the novel “I Can’t Live without You in This Life,” which she had stayed up to read last night?
n
nIn the novel, Gu Zhan’s life was really miserable. Although he was rich and handsome, he fell in love with a woman who didn’t like him, and the woman’s name was also Su Luo.
n
nIn the beginning, Gu Zhang knew that Su Luo loved someone else, and he had only wanted her to be happy. He found out by accident that Lin Tian, the man Su Luo loved, had only used Su Luo as a substitute for his first love.
n
nGu Zhan didn’t want Su Luo to be deceived and hurt, so he told Su Luo the truth. However, not only did Su Luo not believe him, but she also thought that Gu Zhan was a sinister person.
n
nThen the Su Corporation, the company Su Luo’s family owned, had a crisis, and only Gu Zhan could save them. Su Luo used herself as a bargaining chip and agreed to marry Gu Zhan in exchange for him helping the Su Corporation through the crisis.
n
nAfter they got married, Su Luo believed in the malicious gossip and thought the crisis in her family was all part of Gu Zhan’s plan to force her to marry him. She started hating Gu Zhan and was cold to him.
n
nThen she and Lin Tian met again, Su Luo wanted nothing but being with him. She used all kinds of methods to force Gu Zhan to get a divorce, which pushed him to the edge.
n
nBut, in the end, Gu Zhan still sacrificed himself to save Su Luo, and after she learned the truth Su Luo committed suicide out of guilt.
n
nTheir two children became orphans and lived a miserable life.
n
nAfter Su Luo finished reading the novel, she wrote a 10,000 word essay and posted it on the forum. She scolded the author for having a pathetic outlook on life and being completely heartless to vent her anger to Gu Zhan.
n
nLegal husband, mother..
n
nCould it be that she travelled from reality to the world depicted in the book?
n
nWhat’s more, she became the heroine of book who had the same name as herself.
