Shortly after Gu Nianshen had entered the bathroom, he could hear Lin Yiqian’s voice from outside. “I’ve placed the clothes on the bed.”
Gu Nianshen did not reply as he proceeded to take a shower. After he was done, he walked out of the bathroom to find a set of formal clothing laid out neatly on the bed.
He paused before walking slowly to the corner of the bed. With a slight bent, he reached for the shirt and gently touched it.
A smile gradually appeared on his face as the corners of his lips lifted.
Picking up the shirt with both hands, he put it over his head before walking barefoot to the mirror. As he looked into the mirror, he began to button up his shirt slowly.
This was the first time he was not annoyed by the buttons.

As it was not a public holiday, there were not many people at the airport. After observing a scrawny girl being wheeled through the customs, Song Changwen unwillingly shifted her worrisome gaze away.
“I’m worried about Xiaxia more than anything right now.” She sighed as she spoke to Gu Nianshen.
“Sister Changwen, Xiaxia is a good girl. I’m sure her surgery in America will go well,” her secretary said in a consoling manner.
“I hope so.” Song Changwen nodded.
The group continued to chat as they walked to the parking lot above the building. Their car was parked outside the elevator on the right.
Gu Nianshen and Song Changwen sat in the back.
Knock. Knock.
Just as Gu Nianshen closed his door, he could hear someone knocking on the window. When he looked out, he could not see anyone. He frowned and decided to ignore what he had heard.
However, the knocking sound continued.
‘Who is playing a prank on me?’
When he opened the door, he was shocked by the familiar face he saw.
‘Oh god.’ He thought. Did he not open the door the right way?
Almost instantly, he tried to close the door.
However, a small fellow held on tightly to the edge of the door such that he could not close it. “Mister Gu, I see you.”
Gu Nianshen frowned as he forcefully pushed the kid’s small hands away before closing the door.
“Are you playing hide-and-seek with me?” The kid asked.
“I’m very good at it!” He added.
Gu Nianshen was speechless.
“Nianshen, who is that child?” Song Changwen asked, confused.
“It’s a little jerk. Don’t care about him.” Gu Nianshen shook his head.
“…”
He thought kids would be more mature these days. Why was this child still so immature?
“Start driving,” Gu Nianshen called out to the driver.
“I can’t, Master. The kid is right next to the tire.” The driver shook his head.
Gu Nianshen’s facial expression turned gloomy as he gritted his teeth.
As he pushed the door open, Gu Nianshen could see the kid kneeling next to the rear tire. He was wearing a yellow t-shirt, which made his complexion seem even fairer.
After several days of not seeing him, he seemed to have grown somewhat fatter.
The kid was looking at Gu Nianshen with his big round eyes.
Gu Nianshen had no idea why but his anger seemed to have vanished all of a sudden.
As he remained stunned, the kid suddenly stood up and ran over to him as he hugged Gu Nianshen’s leg. “Mister Gu, Xiaoyu misses you so much.”
He was hugging his leg again…
Gu Nianshen lowered his head with a frustrated expression on his face. However, he had a soft spot for this kid.
It felt strange.
Could it be because he had been thinking about having kids with Lin Yiqian for the past few days?
