n“I can give you all three. Don’t associate yourself with him anymore and come back to me.”

n

nGu Zimu held back his emotions, thinking that he was already tolerant enough.

n

nHe forgave He Youran for her past, didn’t mind that she had a child, and didn’t mind that she liked someone else. If it was any other woman, she would definitely be touched by a man like him protecting her.

n

nHe believed that He Youran wouldn’t be any different.

n

nAfter all, she used to be so dependent on him. All he had to do was smile at her, and she would be very satisfied.

n

nHe didn’t believe that He Youran would still reject him if he made such a concession.

n

nHe Youran felt that Gu Zimu was crazy.

n

nTo be honest, she didn’t feel Gu Zimu liked her much before.

n

nOh, if she were to be compared to He Xue’er, Gu Zimu might be a little gentler towards her, but his gentleness carried a sense of superiority and alms. He looked at her like he was looking at a satisfied pet. Once the pet broke free from his restraints, he would throw it away.

n

nJust like what the Gu family had done to her five years ago.

n

nBut, what was Gu Zimu doing now? Had his heart turned sour towards his pet?

n

nHe Youran felt a chill in her heart.

n

nShe couldn’t help but rub the goosebumps on her arms as she asked Gu Zimu straightforwardly.

n

n“You like me?”

n

nGu Zimu nodded his head affirmatively.

n

n“What do you like about me?”

n

nGu Zimu was stunned by her question.

n

nWhat did he like about her? He couldn’t explain it himself.

n

nWhen they first got engaged, he didn’t really like He Youran, who had an ugly birthmark. The Gu family was a big family in Rong city, so they had to maintain their dignity. He couldn’t take his wife, who looked so ugly, out and he would become a laughingstock in the rich circle of Rong City.

n

nSo, he didn’t treat He Youran well in the beginning.

n

nBut He Youran was too calm, as if she didn’t care about anything at all.

n

nShe quietly did everything. She spoke neither too fast nor too slowly, and her emotions were calm. This kind of calmness made Gu Zimu feel a sense of belonging.

n

nSlowly, he liked to talk to her and confide in her. No matter how difficult or annoying the matter was, after talking to He Youran, he would gain a new understanding.

n

nThis was also the reason why he treated He Youran differently.

n

nAfter that, she did something ugly.

n

nHe was angry and unwilling. He felt that he treated her so well, so why would she betray him? So, when his parents negotiated for him to break off the engagement with He Youran, he didn’t reject them. He felt that he should teach He Youran a lesson.

n

nHe was high and mighty, punishing the disobedient pet and waiting for the pet to admit its mistake.

n

nBut, she didn’t. He Youran disappeared.

n

nIt wasn’t until four years later that she returned to Rong City.

n

nWhen she returned, she had completely changed her appearance. The ugly birthmark on her face was gone. Her skin was as white as snow in winter, and her facial features were flawless. Even though she had given birth, her figure was still maintained very well. She had slim shoulders and slender waist, and her long legs were slender and graceful.

n

nEven though Gu Zimu was used to seeing beautiful women, he had to admit that he youran was very beautiful. Her beauty blended with demure and cold, bringing out a mysterious ancient charm that seemed to be out of the mortal world, making people yearn for her.

n

nInitially, Gu Zimu only admired He Youran, but when they met again, he felt an additional sense of possessiveness.

n

nOnly this He Youran could match up to him.

n

n“Uncle, are you going to be my stepfather?”

n

nAt this moment, He Shouxin raised his cute smile and asked sweetly.

n

nGu Zimu, who was immersed in his own thoughts, suddenly came to his senses. He looked at He Shouxin and his eyes narrowed in annoyance.

n

nOnly this child was a stain on He Youran!

n

nIn the future, it would also be a stain on him!

n

nEven if he sent this child overseas, it wouldn’t be able to cover up the fact that he had once been cuckolded!

n

nMoreover, this child even bluntly asked him if he was going to be his “Stepfather.”.

n

nThe word stepfather was undoubtedly stabbing a knife into Gu Zimu’s heart!
