After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Shen Yao did not expect that Gu Tianyou would come to pick her up.

When confronted by the man, she made up a lie.

"My...phone is dead."

"Your phone's dead?"

Gu Tianyou frowned, his dark eyes fixed on Shen Yao's phone screen.

Shen Yao couldn't understand why the man had such a strange, angry expression on his face.

She looked down and realized that her phone screen was on.

And the phone still had 90% battery remaining.

Isn't this what they call blatantly lying?

Shen Yao quickly locked her phone.

"I... just had surgery and I'm very tired, so I don't want to answer your call."

Gu Tianyou shifted his gaze from Shen Yao's phone.

His handsome face softened slightly.

"Since you're tired, go home and get some rest."

As he spoke, he put his arm around Shen Yao's waist and got into the car.

When I got home, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang had already prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Seeing Shen Yao return, Wang Ma said with a smile, "Young Madam, you're finally back! When we couldn't get through to you on the phone, the young master was so worried. He was coughing so much."

Hearing what Wang Ma said, Shen Yao looked at Gu Tianyou, her eyes filled with apology.

Gu Tianyou rolled his eyes at Wang Ma.

Wang Ma shut her mouth.

Uncle Wang carried Haoxuan to the dining table and said with a smile, "Young Madam must be tired. Let's have dinner."

Gu Tianyou also pushed Shen Yao to sit down in a chair.

"I heard you had major surgery today. You must be exhausted."

Shen Yao let Gu Tianyou do as he pleased, and let him put food into her bowl.

During dinner, Haoxuan, who is now in elementary school, kept chattering about what happened in his class.

Gu Tianyou responded positively.

Shen Yao ate her meal quietly.

She was indeed hungry.

Standing for nearly 7 hours is extremely physically demanding.

However, Shen Yao only ate a small half bowl of rice before she couldn't eat anymore.

Haoxuan talked for a long time, but when he realized that his mother was not responding to him, he became a little unhappy.

"Mom, why are you ignoring me?"

Shen Yao was still lost in her own thoughts.

I didn't hear Haoxuan's voice at all

Until Gu Tianyou reminded him.

"Yaoyao, Haoxuan is talking to you."

Shen Yao then came to her senses.

"Haoxuan, I'm sorry, Mom was too tired from the surgery and didn't hear you."

Xiao Haoxuan snorted.

"I hate Mommy! I hate Mommy! I hate Mommy!"

Xiao Haoxuan glared at Shen Yao, his little mouth pouting.

Seeing his expression, I knew he was really angry, so I quickly got up, went over, and hugged him from behind.

"I'm sorry, Mommy neglected you. Can you forgive Mommy?"

When Xiao Haoxuan heard Shen Yao apologize to him, the look on his face wasn't so bad anymore.

"Hmph, fine..."

Shen Yao gently pinched her cheek.

"So, can you forgive your mother?"

Xiao Haoxuan nodded, "Oh, okay."

Shen Yao gently patted his head and whispered, "Thank you, baby."

Xiao Haoxuan snorted again, but couldn't help laughing.

His laughter created a warm and harmonious atmosphere in the restaurant.

After dinner, the family of three took a walk in the garden.

Xiao Haoxuan stood in the middle, holding Shen Yao with one hand and Gu Tianyou with the other. He jumped up and dangled in the air, occasionally letting out a silvery laugh.

As Shen Yao experienced all of this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

But when her eyes met Gu Tianyou's, she remembered the letter she received when she left work.

Will Gu Tianyou go crazy if he finds out that Haoxuan is not his biological son?

"What's wrong with you? Why are you staring at me?"

Feeling Shen Yao's gaze fixed on him, Gu Tianyou asked with a smile.

"Oh, it's nothing, I was just too tired and spaced out."

As she said this, Shen Yao quickly turned her gaze elsewhere.

After the family of three finished their walk, Xiao Haoxuan took a bath by himself with Wang Ma's help and obediently lay down on the bed.

Shen Yao kissed him on the forehead.

"Good night."

Xiao Haoxuan stared at Shen Yao with his big eyes and said, "Mom, goodnight."

Shen Yao was touched by his childish voice and smiled as she patted his head.

"Good night."

Just as Shen Yao was about to leave, Xiao Haoxuan grabbed her hand and asked her a question.

"Mom, don't you love Dad?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao was instantly stunned.

Seeing her son's round, bright eyes, sparkling with questions, she was momentarily at a loss for words.

Seeing his mother remain silent, Xiao Haoxuan became somewhat anxious.

He gently grasped Shen Yao's arm with his small hand.

"Mom, do you love Dad?"

Looking into her son's earnest eyes, Shen Yao let out a long breath.

Cover him with a blanket.

"Go to sleep. It's an adult matter, kids shouldn't worry about it."

Xiao Haoxuan pouted, a displeased expression appearing on his face.

"Mom, is this question really that difficult?"

Shen Yao was at a loss when she saw her son being so persistent.

After thinking for a long time, she kissed her son on the head again.

"Of course I love my dad, is there even a question?"

Upon hearing this answer, Xiao Haoxuan smiled.

He gave a sweet "Mmm," and said, "Okay, now I can go to sleep obediently."

After that, the little guy really went to sleep obediently.

Shen Yao looked at his obedient sleeping face with his eyes closed, smiled helplessly, turned around, turned off the light, and left the room.

Before she knew it, a figure quickly disappeared through the doorway.

Gu Tianyou sat back down on the sofa in the living room, crossed his legs, and started reading a magazine.

When Shen Yao came out, this was the state he looked in.

Why aren't you asleep yet?

I checked the time and found that it was already past 9 p.m.

Gu Tianyou also pretended to glance at the time, "Yes, we really should go to bed early."

After saying that, he put down the book, walked towards Shen Yao, took her hand, and walked up the steps together.

With the man holding her hand, Shen Yao was at a loss.

The two of them went up the steps together.

With each step she took, Shen Yao's heart pounded wildly.

As soon as they entered the room, Gu Tianyou slammed his butt against the door, pinning Shen Yao against it.

"Yaoyao, do you think we can still have a child?"

Pressed firmly against the wall by the man, Shen Yao was forced to look him in the eye.

"Didn't we...work hard last night?"

Faced with the man's burning gaze, Shen Yao suddenly felt a little afraid to look him in the eye.

She turned her head slightly and heard the man say in her ear, "One night isn't enough for me. We need to try to make a baby every night."

Shen Yao looked up in surprise.

"What did you say?"

Gu Tianyou suddenly picked Shen Yao up by the waist and put her on the bed.

"Try to have children."

After saying that, Gu Tianyou reached out and unbuttoned Shen Yao's clothes.
