Gu Xinzhou had not expected Song Zhen to say such things.
Upon closer thought, his having to personally handle a company in a new field showed that Song Zhen was also in a position where it was lonely at the top and hard to trust others.
Gu Xinzhou looked into Song Zhen's eyes, comparing him to the man he had been five years ago.
She gently asked, "These years, you've also had a hard time, haven't you?"
Song Zhen seemed not to hear and just stared blankly at her.
Then, his handsome face turned a shade of pink, and a joyful emotion filled his eyes and corners of his mouth.
He chuckled, "No, not hard, I am a man after all, and men do not know suffering."
After saying this, he showed a rare, shy expression and kept patting Gu Xinzhou's hand, his joyful mood unable to settle down for a long time.
It was just a sentence from her.
Yet, he acted as if he had received the best gift in the world.
Gu Xinzhou thought of the letter left by her grandfather, which described Song Enshuo as despicable, cunning, and opportunistic.
Would such a man, after getting a new wife, still care for the son his first wife had left behind?
Gu Xinzhou suddenly remembered many things.
She recalled how good Song Zhen was to Gu Yibo and how harsh he was to Song Enshuo, a stark contrast.
What did that indicate?
It indicated that during those past years, Song Enshuo had not only provided no help to Song Zhen but had also deeply hurt him!
Gu Xinzhou also remembered Song Zhen saying that during a child's growth, a single setback could completely change their personality.
She suspected that he was actually talking about himself.
In the beginning, he was just like Cassie, a warm and kind-hearted boy who seemed to step right out of the sunlight or a comic book.
Only, Cassie's fate was much better than Song Zhen's.
Cassie had a happy and complete family and a rich, centuries-old family background.
What about Song Zhen?
He had a worthless father, a stepmother, and a kind but silly younger brother.
Suddenly, she withdrew her hand, and under Song Zhen's astonished gaze, she lunged forward to tightly embrace him!
Song Zhen dared not move, "Zhouzhou?"
"Song Zhen, we must be happy, we must be happier than anyone else!" Gu Xinzhou patted his back tenderly, her voice husky as she continued, "If you feel troubled in the future, you can also talk to me. Even if I don't understand, I can still be with you."
Song Zhen's fingertips trembled faintly as he slowly raised his hands to embrace her, "You... won't leave me?"
"I won't! I absolutely won't!" Gu Xinzhou leaned on his shoulder, declaring firmly, "Our family of four, forever together!"
Song Zhen's heart melted.
Suddenly, he stood up holding Gu Xinzhou, tossing her into the air!
As Gu Xinzhou shrieked in fright, he caught her and held her tight, "Zhouzhou, I love you, I love you, Zhouzhou!"
Gu Xinzhou was still recovering from her scare.
Falling into a stable embrace, seeing him act like a child, she couldn't help but laugh and cry as she hit him lightly, "Put me down!"
"Wah! Wah wah wah~"
A childish cry echoed through the door!
Song Zhen quickly put Gu Xinzhou down, and they both raced toward George's room!
The two doctors also quickly came out of their own rooms and dashed towards George's room!
Gu Xinzhou forgot everything...
Driven by a mother's instinct, she rushed ahead of everyone else and scooped up George in one motion!
"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid, George isn't afraid, mommy is here, mommy is with you, George isn't afraid!"
Gu Xinzhou held the child with practiced ease.
And the words she uttered made Song Zhen's heart skip a beat!
Nobody expected such an emergency!
All of them turned their eyes towards Little Georgeā¦
