Country S, Gu Bingjun’s family whereabouts and residence have always been of main interest to the paparazzi, so while others may have multiple hideouts, Gu Bingjun has at least a dozen properties.
This time, Gu Zhixi came back and simply stayed by the sea. The house was built on the mountainside, very well hidden.
Gu Bingjun and Xiaobao were absent, mainly Xiaobao was not around, she suddenly felt life was empty.
Therefore, she had no choice but to read books to distract herself. Although she hadn’t returned to school over the years, she had obtained several degrees through remote learning.
But while reading, she couldn’t help but think of Xiaobao, think of He Jingyao.
At that moment, she suddenly decided to let Xiaobao spend some time with He Jingyao... Although the decision was rushed, and it was very likely that He Jingyao would notice something, she couldn’t suppress the thought.
Only after she was sure that He Jingyao had met the little guy did she leave Yangdong City with great unease. Unfortunately, now she couldn’t contact Xiaobao.
How were He Jingyao and the little guy getting along?
Would he find out that Xiaobao was his child?
These thoughts made her restless and made her wish she could immediately return to Yangdong City to see for herself.
Thinking of this, she sighed, picked up a book, and tapped her forehead with it.
Stop thinking about it! she sternly told herself.
Just then, her cellphone suddenly rang.
She picked up the phone from the table, glanced at the caller ID, but it was an unfamiliar number.
Strange, besides a few people in her family, very few knew her number, and this call was even an international long-distance call, coming from Country Z.
As if by some premonition, Zhixi’s heart suddenly began to thump.
She nervously pressed the answer button, quietly said, "Hello?"
Then, the little guy’s giggly laugh came through her ears.
Zhixi was both excited and frightened, "Xiaobao? Didn’t Mom tell you not to call me?"
"Shh... Don’t worry, Mom, I called you secretly, Dad doesn’t know." The little guy’s voice was soft, "I missed you."
Zhixi held back her tears, "Mom misses you too."
"Then when are you coming to pick me up?" Xiaobao’s voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction, "Dad is so mean, not gentle at all."
Gu Zhixi giggled, yet her voice choked up.
"Then you don’t like him?"
"...Not really, I still like him quite a bit," the little guy hesitated before answering.
"Has he... found out anything?" Zhixi asked uneasily.
"Uh... No!" the little guy hesitated before responding.
"That’s good..." Zhixi was relieved, she took a light breath, "Mom will come to pick you up in a few days."
"Yeah!" Xiaobao happily responded, "Mom, I can’t talk to you any longer, goodbye!"
"Goodbye..." Zhixi said reluctantly, and the call was quickly disconnected.
She sighed deeply, yet Xiaobao’s call indeed made her feel much happier.
Meanwhile, at Wanhe Qianfeng Garden.
After Xiaobao hung up the phone, he looked at He Jingyao next to him and scratched his head.
He seemed... to have made a mistake.
Seeing the guilty look on his face, a hint of amusement flashed in He Jingyao’s eyes, "What’s wrong?"
"...You bullied me," Xiaobao pouted, "Now you know everything!"
