“Mr. Gu.” She did not accept his kindness at all and, instead, curled her lips into a sarcastic smile. “Put more effort into your work and waste less time on me, an irrelevant person.”

Her calling him “Mr. Gu” was like a heavy hammer harshly smashed on his heart.

His face turned pale. “You are calling me Mr. Gu?”

She gave a sarcastic smile, and her tone turned sour and harsh. “Then what should I call you? Brother-in-law? Or Third Young Master Gu?”

Gu Jinchen’s face turned pale, and he pursed his lips, which turned white. He remained silent for a while before slowly opening his mouth. “Suit yourself.”

The atmosphere in the living area became oppressive, and the maid felt that both of them seemed to have gotten into a quarrel. Thus, she dared not come near them.

“Jinchen, Yiyi seems to be—” Shen Shuna’s frantic voice broke the silence between the two people.

Shen Shuna entered the living room and saw the strange atmosphere between the two people. She was a little curious. “Youran, you woke up?”

Shen Youran looked towards the entrance. She had to say that Shen Shuna suited that Chinese cheongsam very well. She was beautiful with a slim figure, and she looked like a woman from the Republic of China. As she stood there, she had the indescribable aura of a young girl from a wealthy family.

She suddenly fixed her gaze on her sister’s arms, and her face turned pale.

In Shen Shuna’s embrace lay a baby who was wearing a pink outfit, and the child’s chubby little arm grabbed her shirt collar.

Shen Shuna realized that her sister’s gaze was fixed on her arms and said, “Youran, this is Gu Yiyi. She has just turned one year and two months old.”

If her whole world crashed when Gu Jinchen and Shen Shuna got married, at this moment, no grass grew in her deserted city.

She gripped the dining table and tried her best to hide her discomfort as she forced herself to calm down.

She should have known. After being married for three years, how could they not have a child?

In the past, she and Gu Jinchen used to imagine their future together. At the grass patch in the Gu family’s flower garden, she loved to lay in his embrace and play with his fair, long, and slender fingers.

“Jinchen, what do you want to do after graduating from university?”

He thought about it seriously. “I want to work hard and earn money. Then, I will marry you.”

As she heard his words, her clever and sparkling eyes had looked as though it shone with stars. “After that?”

“Then, you have to fulfill your duties as a wife and bear me a child. Better be a daughter who is as lovely as you so that I can pamper both of you.”

Although his tone had not seemed serious, his gaze was especially so.

She was very happy, but on the surface, she pretended to be calm. Her face blushing red, she coquettishly nudged his arm before scolding him. “You are so naughty.”

At that moment, all she thought about was marrying Gu Jinchen after she graduated.

“Then, you have to think of a name for our daughter beforehand.”

“Call her Gu Yiyi.”

She furrowed her brows in disdain. “That’s too simple. What’s more, you are even an excellent student from School C. If you are so pandering while thinking of a name for your daughter, take care that your daughter won’t treat you as her dad when she grows up.”

“Because you and she shall be my only one.” He was not proficient in saying pick-up lines, so his ears turned red after saying those words.

She excitedly hugged his neck and kissed his cheek. “Then let’s say this beforehand. Yiyi can only be her nickname. When that time comes, you have to think of a real name again as I’m scared that she would hate us when she grows up.”

Shen Youran suddenly smiled, and a thin layer of mist covered her eyes before she tried to suppress it. She seemed to be mocking herself and muttered, “Being an aunt doesn’t seem that bad.”
