Fang Jiujiu raised his little hand, keeping a distance.
He pondered and said, "Eleven is a straightforward thinker, the complexities of human nature are too much for her. She gets hurt easily. If you promise me that you wonāt hurt Eleven, I might consider helping you."
"Really?" Gu Liancheng raised an eyebrow.
With Jiujiuās help, the job would be half done.
The large and small hands high-five, marking an alliance.
...
Happiness next time?
In your dreams!
Gu Qianxun, you canāt escape!
Gu Liancheng squeezed his phone hard and tossed it aside. Heād lost too much blood tonight and felt drained, he decided to go to bed early.
...
Everyone was up early the next morning.
The two little treasures were already neatly dressed, obediently sitting at the dining table eating breakfast, not mentioning anything about yesterday.
Eleven enjoyed taking care of the two little treasures, she spread their favorite sauce on the toast with a smile. The nanny brought their warm milk, sneaking glances at Jiujiu now and then.
She looked at Eleven and couldnāt resist saying, "You have two such beautiful children, why do you want to divorce Mr. Gu?"
The servants had learned last night that Mr. Gu actually had two children, and both were from his ex-wife. Miss Mengmeng is not the child of Miss Shang as rumored.
They couldnāt understand why, with such happiness, would anyone want to divorce?
"Iām tired of it, itās a new life," Eleven said without elaborating, "I ran out of sauce, Iāll go get some more."
The two little treasures smiled and watched Eleven leave. Somehow, Eleven always felt that seeing Jiujiu smile so early in the morning was unsettling. Was something up?
Gu Mengmeng said, "Shouldnāt we lock Elevenās heart first? If someone else stole it, wouldnāt we cry to death? We would have a new mom and a new dad, oh my goodness...I canāt imagine such a beautiful picture. Should I follow Mr. Gu or Eleven then? I want both..."
"Just eat your breakfast, why think so much?"
Would her heart be stolen so easily?
Someone had been trying to steal it for four years and hadnāt succeeded yet, right?
When Eleven returned, she didnāt notice anything unusual about the two little treasures, so she decided not to worry about it.
"After you finish eating, mom will take you to kindergarten. Amazing! Itās my first time taking you two there as a mother!" She felt a bit excited just thinking about it.
"Itās my first time having a mom take me too!" Gu Mengmeng laughed, "Whereās Mr. Gu? You two should take us together, then weāll be the lucky kids with both mom and dad dropping us off at school! Jiujiu has never been dropped off by dad before!"
"I donāt care," Jiujiu shrugged, "It doesnāt matter."
"Speaking of which...why hasnāt your dad gotten up yet?" Eleven glanced back, but there was no sign of him. They were eating breakfast in the dining hall, the residence was a bit far, she couldnāt see if he was up or not.
"Isnāt he usually the earliest riser?"
Fang Jiujiu said, "Could it be...heās still squeezing the toothpaste?"
"That canāt be," Eleven chuckled. It might have been a little difficult, but surely it couldnāt take that long.
"What a worry," Fang Jiujiu took a bite of toast and put it down, climbing down from his seat, "Iāll go check."
"Eh Jiujiu āā you eat your breakfast, mom will go check āā"
Before Eleven finished her sentence, Jiujiu had already run up to the shuttle vehicle, which took him to the residence.
Eleven sighed in frustration, thinking, when did these two become so close? Did something happen that she didnāt know about??
