Gu Xinzhou had originally come with a try-and-see mentality.
Little had she expected, as soon as she approached the front desk to inquire, the staff member
handed her a room card and said, "This is left for you by Mr. Cassie.
He is staying in the Presidential Suite at the top floor, let me take you there now!"
Gu Xinzhou flashed a smile, "No need, I can go up by myself! Thank you!"
When she pressed the suite's doorbell,
she heard the familiar calling of her son from inside, "Mommy! It must be my mommy!"
"McDull!" Gu Xinzhou couldn't hold back anymore, "McDull! Hurry, open the door!"
The door opened.
Gu Xinzhou rushed in.
She crouched down, wrapped her handsome son in her arms, and said with a hoarse voice, "McDull, how did you come to China?
Mommy missed you so much!
McDull, you don't know how much Mommy missed you!
McDull~ McDull~"
McDull had neat short hair and large eyes embedded in his fair, round cheeks.
His nose was prominent, and with his red lips and white teeth, he was adorable.
Being still in his toddler years and well-cared-for, he was somewhat chubby.
His body was soft and squishy, making holding him, pinching him, or massaging him all feel great—he was very huggable.
No matter how much pressure or trouble Gu Xinzhou had, as long as McDull was by her side, her heart would stabilize.
Cassie stood to the side, feeling slighted, "Don't you miss me too?"
Seeing Cassie again, Gu Xinzhou felt somewhat embarrassed.
After all, Cassie had confessed his feelings over the phone, she couldn't just treat him like an old buddy anymore.
Yet, she didn't want to lose such a good friend.
Gu Xinzhou looked at him, somewhat irritated, "How old are you?
Why are you still acting like a child?
This is China!
You actually brought my son on a plane for over ten hours to get here!
What if something had happened during the trip, what would you have compensated me with?"
Cassie looked at her with a smile brimming in his eyes, "I would compensate you with myself, would that be okay?"
Gu Xinzhou rolled her eyes, "Boring!"
Cassie, a mix of Sino-French-Italian-Swiss-British heritage, was as handsome as a movie star and naturally had a refined face.
He possessed the elegance of an English noble, the romance of a French man, the enthusiasm of an Italian, and also came from a wealthy family background.
His family owned over a dozen farms in Switzerland and New Zealand, specializing in dairy products.
His family's four major milk powder brands nearly dominated half of the European market and their presence was frequently seen in Asia as well.
When McDull was just over two years old, he had visited the farm in Switzerland and even tried milking a cow directly into his mouth.
Thus, Gu Xinzhou always felt, having such a male best friend was a blessing she earned in her past life.
But she never imagined...
that he would fall in love with her!
Sitting down on the couch with McDull in her arms, she felt uneasy making eye contact with Cassie.
Cassie, too, sensed the change in atmosphere.
But he was very happy.
He knew that she had taken his confession to heart.
"By the way, can we have dinner and meet with your family at this hotel tonight?" Cassie checked the time, "It's almost five o'clock now. If we make the reservation now, we can meet for dinner and chat in an hour, it should be just in time."
Gu Xinzhou looked at McDull and asked, "McDull, Mommy and Uncle Cassie are going to talk about business, can you stay alone in the suite, play with toys, watch cartoons, and wait for us to come back?"
The child was only four years old.
Letting him stay alone in a strange suite at night.
Gu Xinzhou was still very worried.
