Bad luck during one's zodiac year?
When Gu Xinzhou heard these words, it hurt right at her heart.
Her mother had passed away during her zodiac year, at the same age Xinzhou was now.
Such a young life.
Gone like a flower, just vanished.
"Dad, after you meet my boyfriend tomorrow, we can talk about other things.
Moreover, I haven't come back for five years, I want to take some time to visit Grandma back home and also to visit Mom's grave."
Gu Xinzhou's mood was somewhat low.
Gu Yibo also fell silent.
After a long time, he finally said, "Okay! In a few days, Dad will accompany you to go home for a visit."
Gu Yibo sent Gu Xinzhou back to rest, then returned to his company.
Xinzhou, in her room, was checking from one hotel to another.
Cassie was an Italian national.
He didn't have Chinese identification.
So if Cassie could book a hotel in Italy, the hotel would certainly support services and reservations for foreigners, and could process check-ins with just a passport instead of an ID card.
Moreover, Cassie was a rich heir, not short of money.
He was traveling with McDull, and loving McDull so much, he wouldn't compromise on their accommodation and other needs.
Xinzhou was certain that he stayed in a five-star hotel.
And it was a presidential suite.
Although City B was bustling, there were only six five-star hotels that supported direct online reservation with foreign passports.
This made things much easier.
Gu Xinzhou decided to stake out each hotel, determined to find Cassie and McDull before dawn!
The first she went to was a resort hotel.
Because the recreational facilities in this hotel were the richest, themed around vacationing, it was suited for people bringing children, and the location in the suburbs made it conducive for staying hidden.
Gu Xinzhou thought there was a fifty percent chance that Cassie and McDull would be here!
She spent an hour and a half by taxi and finally arrived at the hotel.
Upon entering the lobby, she showed McDull's photo and smilingly asked the reception staff.
"Hello, I came here for a vacation with my husband and child, but we weren't on the same flight; he asked me to wait at the hotel for him. I wanted to ask, have he and the child arrived yet? He's Italian! The child is a four-year-old boy!"
The receptionist glanced at her phone.
In the photo, McDull was sitting in her lap, smiling happily.
But...
"I'm sorry, but we cannot reveal our guests' privacy. If you need, you can wait in the lobby or contact your husband directly!"
"Please, can you just check for me?"
"Really, I can't! Revealing guest privacy is the most taboo thing in our business, I could be complained against and lose my job. Please understand!"
"Well, okay then."
Gu Xinzhou gathered her spirits, prepared to wait in the lobby.
She didn't believe she wouldn't catch them!
"Zhouzhou?"
Behind her, that bewitching voice came again.
Gu Xinzhou's heart guiltily raced, she dared not interact with Song Zhen in such a place, fearing McDull might suddenly appear!
Originally she didn't believe in the zodiac curse, didn't want to hold a lavish birthday banquet to ward off bad luck.
Now, Xinzhou believed it.
She was truly unlucky, really truly down on her luck!
Without turning her head, she dashed outside!
Song Zhen, with his long strides, caught up to her in a blink.
Holding her wrist tight, he asked, "Why are you running?"
Caught by him, Gu Xinzhou complained, "Why are you everywhere?"
Song Zhen looked at her deeply, somewhat gleefully thoughtful, "Could it be, you're trying to remind me, is this fate? Are we very fated?"
