"Is this the child?" Gong Hannian asked.
"Yes!" Gu's mother still looked somewhat awkward, "I'm truly sorry, Xiao Shen also feels very sorry for you. He even said to make it up to you, he would remain unmarried for life! You're a good girl, and it's our loss that you can't become a Gu Family bride!"
"Auntie, please don't say that!" On the surface, Gong Hannian smiled generously and virtuously, but inside she scoffed, What a vow of lifelong bachelorhood!
"It's my own lack of capability, if only I had been able to bear a child for Sean, maybe we wouldn't have ended up here today," said Gong Hannian with a despondent expression.
The implication of her self-deprecating remark was clear—she lacked Gong Xiaoqiao's tactics to secure Gu Hangshen's child.
"Hannian, I have an unreasonable request," Gu's mother hesitated before speaking.
"Please say it, Auntie. If it's within my power, I will definitely agree."
