nWhen the dishes were served, Gu Zhan counted six or seven of them.

n

nGu Zhan asked Su Luo, “Why did you suddenly make so many dishes today? Did something good happen?”

n

nSu Luo shook her head and looked at the two children whose faces had become thinner. She said, “No, I just feel that too many things have happened recently. I feel like I’ve mistreated the children and wanted to feed them better.”

n

nGu Zhan nodded after hearing that. He moved closer to Su Luo’s ear and asked in a low voice, “Has the matter with your friend been resolved?”

n

nSu Luo shook her head and said to Gu Zhan, “Not yet. Let’s eat first.”

n

nGu Zhan nodded after hearing that. Perhaps it was because he too had been through a lot in the past few days. Today, he had eaten three big bowls of food at once.

n

nAfter the meal, Gu Zhan told Su Luo to rest and washed the dishes by himself. Su Luo did not decline his offer and sat on the sofa, thinking about how to save Shen Ling.

n

nAfter a while of playing with the toys on the second floor, Gu Bei and Gu Xi looked at each other. Gu Xi moved closer to his brother and said, “Brother, let’s go downstairs to find Mom and tell her what happened this afternoon.”

n

nGu Bei also agreed with his sister. After all, the happiness of their family was not easy to come by. They did not want anyone to take away their father or mother.

n

nThe two children held hands and went downstairs.

n

nSu Luo was sitting on the sofa motionlessly when the two children threw themselves into her arms. When she saw the two children, she asked, “Why aren’t you two playing with the building block upstairs?”

n

nGu Xi looked at her mother and said, “I don’t feel like playing. I played for the entire afternoon today, and now I don’t want to play anymore.”

n

nSu Luo nodded and asked, “What did you ride at the amusement park in the afternoon?”

n

nGu Bei sat next to his mother and said, “We rode the Ferris wheel with Dad.”

n

nSu Luo nodded, and then Gu Xi whispered into her ear, “Mom, I don’t think Sister Qi Yi is a good person.”

n

nSu Luo looked at her youngest daughter in surprise and Gu Bei said, “Yeah, that’s what I thought too. She came to look for dad again in the afternoon and didn’t want him to leave.”

n

nSu Luo nodded and looked at her youngest daughter. She patted her head and said, “What did your Dad do then?”

n

nGu Xi whispered into her mother’s ear, “Dad didn’t even look at her and just left. He even looked disgusted.”

n

nSu Luo nodded and didn’t say anything else. After Gu Zhan finished washing the dishes and came out, he looked at the two children lying in Su Luo’s arms and asked, “Why did you two come down?”

n

nGu Xi and Gu Bei broke free from Su Luo’s arms and rushed themselves in front of Gu Zhan, saying, “We were talking to mommy about what we did in the amusement park today.”

n

nGu Zhan put down the apron in his hand and sat beside Su Luo, saying, “Did Gu Bei tell Mommy that Daddy didn’t want you to ride the roller coaster?”

n

nGu Bei blinked unhappily and said, “No, I did not. I’m not as petty as you think.”

n

nGu Zhan smiled and pinched Gu Bei’s little face. Su Luo said to Gu Zhan, “The three of you should be tired from playing all day. Let’s go upstairs and sleep.”

n

nWhen Gu Bei and Gu Xi heard that their mother telling them to sleep, the two children nodded obediently and went upstairs with her.

n

nAfter the two children went back to their room, they tugged the corner of Su Luo’s clothes and said, “Mommy, you should go to sleep too. You must be exhausted these two days. Don’t worry about us.”

n

nSu Luo nodded and patted the two children’s heads. “Alright, Mommy will tuck you in and go to sleep.”

n

nAfter tucking the two children in, Su Luo closed the door and stood at the door. She thought back to the scene at dinner that night and felt that today was really a heartwarming day.
