The little one snuggled in Gu Junzhu’s embrace, flashing his big eyes at Ye Xingbei and laughing, “Mama is the very, very, very, very, very best!”
His arms encircled Gu Junzhu’s neck, his little body leaning towards Ye Xingbei. He gave Ye Xingbei a kiss on the cheek, whispering in her ear, “Mama is the best ever, the best in the world!”
Seeing his lively and healthy self, Ye Xingbei’s heart, suspended mid-air, gradually returned to rest. She kissed him back, “Baby, you are also the best, the world’s number one sweet child!”
The little one chuckled and snuggled back into Gu Junzhu’s arms, giving him a kiss on the cheek. He leaned into Gu Junzhu’s ear and said, “Daddy, we’re men and mom’s a woman. The book says that men should be gentlemen and let women take the lead. So, should Daddy become a gentleman and let Mom be the best woman in the world, okay?”
Gu Junzhu couldn’t help but chuckle at his antics, “Okay! I’ll listen to my son!”
The child was satisfied, giving Gu Junzhu another kiss on the cheek, then turning to Ye Xingbei and said, “Mama, from now on, Daddy and I will protect you. If I’m not strong enough to beat the bad guys, Dad will. Dad is the best, the best in the world!”
There was pride and satisfaction in the little boy’s tone.
It was clear that these words weren’t simply empty compliments, he truly felt this way from the bottom of his heart.
His Dad was the absolute best in his eyes.
Like a towering mountain, a sturdy castle, a calm harbor.
With dad around, he and mom need not fear anything!
Holding the small, soft body of his child, Gu Junzhu felt a complete surrender.
What does it mean to cherish as one’s own?
This was how he felt now.
The feelings he now had for this child were as if he were his own.
Perhaps the child had a natural affinity for him. The more he looked at him, the more he loved him, the love seeping deep into his heart.
At this moment, even if the child asked for the stars, he would probably buy one, and name it after the child.
Seeing that the little guy was doing well, the family of three freshened up and went downstairs to eat.
After eating, the little one insisted that Gu Junzhu play games with him.
In just two days, their bond had become stronger, with a level of interaction and familiarity that was akin, or even superior to, that of a regular father-son relationship.
Watching the little one play games while nestled in Gu Junzhu’s arms, their laughter echoing in the room, Ye Xingbei’s eyes were full of amusement.
She was deeply enjoying this feeling.
She found that although she hadn’t been here long, she was gradually falling in love with this place.
Having grown up under the care of others, in an uncertain world, this was the first time in her life she had a house that felt like a real home.
Like a ship adrift finding harbor, she suddenly wished to stay and nurture this place that gave her a sense of home, to take care of its two male inhabitants, big and small.
After sitting with them for a while, she got up and went to the kitchen to cook soup for the elated and excited pair.
Since Xiao Shu was weak and sickly from a young age, he needed nourishment.
Gu Junzhu is tall and agile, but his slightly unhealthy pale complexion revealed that there was some internal injury.
Although it wasn’t as severe as the rumors suggested, an insidious disease threatening his life, when it flared up, it must be unbearable.
Since she decided to make this marriage work, she would have to take good care of him.
She hadn’t figured out everything yet, but she would start by taking care of his diet and daily routines; cooking the most delicious and nutritious meals for him, helping his body recover..
