Gu Nanxun guessed correctly; Gu Shulan was also reborn. In her previous life, Gu Shulan had two sets of parents, but neither of them loved her.

He should have been a poor child, but he was switched at birth with a rich child and grew up in a rich family. Although he had no worries about food and clothing, he had no love.

The wealthy family consisted of a pair of snobbish parents who only cared about whether their child could bring them honor and profit. When they learned that the child was not their biological child, and that their biological child had married into a wealthy family, Gu Shulan was abandoned without hesitation.

Gu Shulan's biological parents did not raise him and did not show him much care. Gu Shulan, however, had a stubborn temper. In order to repay the expenses his adoptive parents had invested in him, Gu Shulan worked himself to death at the company where he worked at a young age. Fortunately, when Gu Shulan died, he had paid off the money owed to his adoptive parents and was no longer indebted to anyone.

Gu Shulan originally owed her biological parents a debt of gratitude for giving birth to her, but when Gu Shulan transmigrated, she saw her biological parents taking her corpse to her company to demand compensation.

That's good, with this compensation, Gu Shulan won't owe anyone anything.

"Shulan, come with me!"

Gu Nanxun said to Gu Shulan.

Hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Gu Shulan nodded and followed him out of the living room and into the study.

Gu Nanxun closed the door, turned around and looked at Gu Shulan. His eyes were filled with a hint of inquiry and seriousness. He knew that if Gu Shulan was really reborn, then he would definitely have a lot to say.

"Shulan, is there anything you want to say to me?" Gu Nanxun's voice was gentle, yet serious.

Gu Shulan raised his head and looked into Gu Nanxun's eyes. He knew that his father was a smart man and that he must have already guessed something.

Moreover, since his father and mother possessed a space, they must have had some special experiences, just like him. His younger siblings might not remember, but he did. When he was young, his father and mother would take them into the space. The space contained a lot of modern furniture, televisions, and cell phones—things that didn't exist in this era.

"Father, I know what you want to ask." Gu Shulan's voice was calm, his eyes filled with a hint of determination and a trace of fear. His parents in this world had been very good to him, but if they knew he was reborn, would they still be so good to him? Thinking of this, his eyes darkened. He was an unloved child, and if his parents truly couldn't accept him, he would accept it.

"I was reborn."

Gu Shulan spoke quietly, her voice trembling slightly.

Gu Nanxun keenly noticed the change in Gu Shulan. He sensed something amiss from Gu Shulan's cautious gaze.

"Shulan, no matter if you were reborn or what your identity was in your previous life, you are now my and your mother's child."

Gu Nanxun patted Gu Shulan's head and said gently.

Upon hearing this, tears streamed down Gu Nanxun's face. Standing beside Gu Nanxun, he clutched the hem of his clothes tightly and called out in a choked voice, "Dad!"

Gu Nanxun sighed helplessly. He reached out and pulled Gu Shulan onto his lap, then gently patted her shoulder and said, "At this moment, you should be clinging to your father and acting like a spoiled child!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shulan paused in Gu Nanxun's arms for a moment, then whispered, "Dad, I can't!"

Gu Nanxun paused for a moment while patting Gu Shulan's hand, then continued patting it, "It's okay, it's okay if you don't know how to act cute, Dad and Mom like you too!"

Gu Shulan was stunned. Did his parents still like him because he didn't know how to act cute? Unlike his younger siblings, he didn't hug his parents or say sweet things to make them happy. He would just sit quietly by their side and watch them. Did his parents still like him like this?

"Yes, Shulan is very cute like this too, and Mom and Dad like her very much."

Just then, Lin Qing's voice came from the doorway. It turned out that Gu Shulan had unknowingly spoken her thoughts, which Lin Qing, who had come to find them, had overheard.

"I'm sorry, Shulan, it's your parents' fault for neglecting you!" Lin Qing stepped forward, reached out and took Gu Shulan out of Gu Nanxun's arms, and then said gently.

At this moment, Lin Qing felt extremely guilty. She felt that she was not a qualified mother. Her child was so different from others, and there was the example of Nian Qing before her. She had not even noticed it, which made her wonder if she was too uncaring towards her child.

"It's okay, it's not Mom and Dad's fault, it's my fault, it's Shulan's fault."

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Gu Shulan hurriedly shook her head. It wasn't her parents' fault; it was because she had been hiding it from them, afraid to let them notice her difference.

"Shulan, can you tell Mom and Dad why you're not hiding it anymore?"

Gu Nanxun reached out and patted Gu Shulan's head, then asked gently.

Gu Shulan looked up at Gu Nanxun, then at Lin Qing, who was looking at him with concern and encouragement in her eyes.

"Ziyao said that her parents don't like children who lie."

It turned out that the little ones especially loved sweets, and Lin Qing was afraid that they would ruin their teeth, so she limited their sweets to only two a day.

Today, Zichen wanted to eat an extra one, but Yichen said that Mom and Dad only allowed two. So Zichen said he wouldn't tell Mom and Dad. Then Suyao said that Mom and Dad don't like children who lie.

This remark caught Gu Shulan, who was already hiding something, completely in the dark. He struggled with the matter all afternoon and finally decided to stop hiding it, but he didn't expect that his father would see through it so easily.

"Shulan, can you tell me what happened in your past life?"

Gu Nanxun asked with a serious expression. He deduced from Gu Shulan's expression and personality that Gu Shulan may not have had a good life in her previous life. He did not want to reopen his child's wounds, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still hoped that his child could live a happy and carefree life in this life, like his younger siblings. At the same time, he also wanted to understand his child.

Gu Shulan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and began to recount his past life, from being switched at birth to his life in a wealthy family, to being abandoned, and finally to dying from exhaustion at the company where he worked.

As Gu Nanxun listened to Gu Shulan's story, he was filled with shock and anger. He never imagined that his son had gone through so much suffering.

Moreover, Lin Qing had already been holding Gu Shulan and crying her eyes out.

Gu Nanxun reached out and hugged Lin Qing and Gu Shulan together, then gently patted their shoulders.

Gu Shulan finally let go of his worries and burst into tears in Lin Qing's arms, as if he wanted to vent the grievances of his past life and the worries of this life.

After a long time, Lin Qing and Gu Shulan finally composed themselves and stopped crying: "Shulan, don't worry, in this life, Dad will protect you and won't let you suffer any more grievances."

Gu Nanxun said with a serious expression, his voice carrying a hint of determination and commitment.

Lin Qing nodded heavily beside her, and as she nodded, tears streamed down her face again.

Upon hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Gu Shulan's face lit up with a bright smile, and her tear-filled eyes sparkled with happiness and joy.
