n
nWhen Su Luo was reading “I Can’t Live without You in This Life” she never liked the female protagonist who had the same name as herself.
n
nIn her 10,000 word essay, more than 8,000 words were used to point out what a fool she was.
n
nGu Zhan was loyal, affectionate, gentle, and patient. He was so much better than the selfish, hypocritical and scheming Lin Tian.
n
nShe really could not understand why Su Luo in the book did not like Gu Zhan even before she died.
n
nShe was gullible and would believe anyone, even those who lied to her, rather than trusting Gu Zhan who always told her the truth.
n
nSuo Luo in real life had never thought that one day she could actually travel into the book and become the fool “Su Luo” whom she despised.
n
nWhile Su Luo was in a daze, the two cutie pies came down from Gu Zhan’s body and grabbed Su Luo’s sleeve.
n
nThe boy was upset and asked, “Mommy, is it because Xixi and I are too naughty that you don’t want us anymore?”
n
nThe girl was also pleading, “We will listen to you. Mommy, don’t leave us, please?”
n
nSuo Luo looked at the two sweet faces and their teary eyes; the softest part of her heart was touched.
n
nIn the book, the two were twins. The boy was the elder brother, called Gu Bei, and the girl was the younger one, called Gu Xi.
n
nAlthough Su Luo in the book didn’t like Gu Zhan, she always doted on the children they had.
n
nWhen parents were not on good terms, children could easily feel insecure. They always felt that one day Su Luo would abandon them and their father.
n
nGu Zhan saw the change in Su Luo’s eyes; his tone softened a little. He said, “Luo Luo, no matter how much you hate me, our children are innocent.”
n
nSu Luo looked up and their eyes met. He got misty-eyed, full of longing and enduring.
n
nThinking of what had happened to Gu Zhan in the book, Su Luo’s heart felt as if it was being squeezed tightly by someone.
n
nEven before he died, Gu Zhan was thinking of Su Luo. He forbid his people to let Su Luo know the truth. He wanted her to think that he was a bad guy so that she could live on without guilt.
n
nSu Luo did not understand why the author had arranged such an ending for Gu Zhan. Wouldn’t it be better if they could resolve their misunderstanding and love each other?
n
nShe made up her mind. She would save Gu Zhan from the tragic ending!
n
nSu Luo sat up and looked at the two crying kids lovingly. She wiped the tears away from their faces and said, “Xiaobei and Xiaoxi, I’m sorry. Mommy was still dreaming just now. I would never abandon you two. Don’t cry.”
n
nHearing that, Gu Bei and Gu Xi were relieved and stopped crying. They hugged Su Luo and rubbed against her body lovingly.
n
n“Yeah, brother! Mommy won’t abandon us!”
n
n“Yeah, mommy is the best.”
n
nChildren could never stay sad for very long. They immediately became happy after the misunderstanding was resolved.
n
n“To make up for you, mommy will make breakfast, how about that?”
n
nIn her real life, Su Luo was an internationally renowned chef. Ordinary people wouldn’t have the chance to try her cooking.
n
n“Great! Mommy hadn’t cooked for us before.”
n
nGu Xi was so happy that she clapped her hands.
n
nGu Bei also was excited.
n
nWhen Gu Zhan saw the three of them happy together, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He walked towards the door alone.
n
nSu Luo saw him leaving. She hurriedly stopped him and asked, “Gu Zhan, what do you want for breakfast?”
n
nGu Zhan stopped. He turned around and pointed at himself. He sounded uncertain. “Me?”
n
nSu Luo gave him a gentle and affirmative gaze and said, “Yes, you.”
n
nSu Luo actually took the initiative to talk to him?
n
nAnd she used such a gentle gaze to look at him asking him what he wanted to eat?
n
nFor a moment, Gu Zhan thought he was dreaming.
n
nNo, in his dream, Su Luo had never looked at him like this.
n
nSu Luo’s attitude towards him had always been indifferent, disgusted, and evasive.
n
nIn the three years they had been married, Su Luo almost had never spoken to him first.
n
nThat was not right!
n
nHe suddenly knew why Su Luo changed her attitude.
n
nGu Zhan’s face changed. He grabbed Su Luo’s arm and gazed at her resolutely. “Su Luo, forget about divorce. Even if you poison me now, you’ll still be Mrs. Gu.”
