But Fang Zimo saw the blood of her virginity flow out...
"Yanran..." Fang Zimo’s feelings at this moment were complicated. He hadn’t expected to gain Tang Yanran’s first time in this way, nor had he expected that he would come this far with the woman he liked so quickly...
A man dressed in casual clothes and wearing a cap had its brim pulled down low. Then he moved to sit next to another man who was seated by the window.
The man seated by the window had a bottle of wine on his table but hadn’t taken a drink.
The man in the cap sat opposite him: "Mr. Gu, here is the thing you wanted!"
He handed Gu Qingchen an envelope made of kraft paper. Gu Qingchen nodded but did not open it to look.
Gu Qingchen just said two words: "Continue!"
"Yes!" The cap-wearing man stood up and strode out.
Gu Qingchen took up his glass. He rarely drank alcohol because, due to his profession, he needed to be on call 24 hours a day. Drinking alcohol meant he couldn’t work, and even less could he make accurate judgments with a scalpel in hand.
This time, a week’s leave allowed him to drink unrestrained for once.
He drank down the wine in his glass, then picked up the envelope on the table and disappeared into the night within the bar...
In the room, a lamp was still on.
Bei Ran looked at her sleeping daughter, covering her with a blanket. The child really liked to kick off her blankets; her small feet were very powerful, and not only did she kick the blanket off, but she also pressed it under her feet.
Occasionally, she would talk in her sleep: "Mommy... Brother... come quick..."
Bei Ran didn’t know what was in her dreams, but when she called for her mom and brother, it made Bei Ran feel that the two of them would always be the most important in her little girl’s heart.
Bei Ran gently stroked her daughter’s head, then left the child’s room. She took out an album to look through; the images of the twins from infancy to now, each one vividly displayed before her eyes.
She stretched out her finger to gently touch the people in the photos.
Her son was adapting very well in his science enrichment class, which gave Bei Ran some consolation.
Looking at her son’s face, which resembled Gu Qingchen’s, her heart ached slightly.
Bei Ran took out that DNA report and then thought back to Gu Qingchen’s behavior this morning. He rarely got so angry that he lost control, not to mention driving recklessly to the brink of a cliff!
Did he think she had been with Gu Yucheng? Did he think the child was also Gu Yucheng’s?
Did he feel like he and his brother had shared a woman? Did he think all these misfortunes and coincidences were just absurd fate?
Bei Ran isn’t someone who is easily sentimental. She told herself, no matter what, to be strong.
Only by being strong herself could she then teach her children to be strong.
But at this moment, she couldn’t suppress her melancholic emotions. She wished to cast all these unnecessary negative feelings aside.
She picked up the phone and dialed her son’s number in New York.
"Mommy, why haven’t you slept yet?" The son’s voice came through. "It’s easy to get wrinkles and age that way!"
A sentence that made Bei Ran smile.
"Mommy misses you!" she said.
She had never been separated from her child for so long. Initially, she really believed that Tang Baijin had the child’s future in mind when he let him join a science interest class, which could cultivate an interest in science.
Latterly, she guessed Tang Baijin had another intention - to keep Gu Qingchen from learning of her son’s existence. If Gu Qingchen caught sight of her son, he would surely have noticed something.
However, what no one could have anticipated was that Gu Yu’s emergence led the situation into another turn.
Regarding Gu Yu’s repeated questioning if he and she had met six years ago.
She didn’t remember seeing Gu Yu, which means it’s possible he had seen her!
Bei Ran had already promised Gu Qingchen not to cause any trouble for Gu Yu, so her son would continue his classes in the interest class in New York.
"I miss mommy too!" The son laughed!
Bei Ran took a deep breath and asked her son, "Do you want to come back to A city? Or do you want to keep studying in the interest class?"
The teacher is Tang Baijin’s mentor; Bei Ran is confident that her son won’t be led astray. Although Tang Baijin has a bit of a personal agenda against Gu Qingchen, he does have abilities and wouldn’t lead a child down a no-return path.
