At first, he was handling a case on the street when a cute little girl, who looked like a doll in a New Year's painting, suddenly rushed out, hugged his leg, and called out "Daddy."

He was startled at first, but quickly realized that the little girl was the wrong person. After searching for a while, he learned that the little girl must have been separated from her family. He immediately sent his servants to look for her, while he held the little girl and waited for them.

After waiting for a while, the people below said they had found the child's mother. At that moment, Wu Shuang suddenly came into his sight, but she was anxious and focused on holding the child and checking if the child was injured. She did not notice him at first.

She only snapped out of her daze when the little girl in her arms pointed at her.

When he first saw the face that was so familiar, he was filled with disbelief, as if he was still dreaming.

But when he saw her leading a little girl with a high ponytail, he couldn't help but go up to her and stop her.

She seemed to recognize him at that moment, quickly concealing the shock on her face. She bowed to him, showing no intention of explaining why she hadn't died and why she was in such a remote border town.

Gu Xuanye had many questions he wanted to ask her, but he was afraid that she would run away again and leave him.

But when she saw the little girl tightly hugging her side, she couldn't bring herself to ask a single question.

But Wu Shuang said to him expressionlessly, "Your Highness, the past is gone and I hope you will pretend that you never saw me."

When she said this, her face was already relaxed, without any extra expression, as if he were a stranger.

While he was still in a daze, she left with the girl in her arms.

In the brief moment of his daze, he subconsciously nodded.

Seeing her leave without a second thought, Gu Xuanye was devastated, especially when he saw her standing next to a man at the alley entrance.

The man naturally took the little girl from her arms and carried her into his own, walking forward like a happy family.

Outside the book, everyone is almost going crazy because of this part of the plot.

"No way? Wu Shuang actually married someone else? And even had a child."

"Tsk tsk, the prince deserves it. He hurt the female lead so deeply, and now it's time for him to regret it."

"I don't know why, but seeing this made me want to cry! But at the same time, I felt very relieved."

"No way! Waaaaah~ Your Highness must be with Wushuang."

"Perhaps this is Wushuang's destiny. Finding an ordinary man to be a good wife and mother is what is truly good for her. For her, the intrigues and power struggles of high-ranking noble families are too much for her to bear. She may not be able to survive, even if a man loves her, she will know whether that love is short-lived."

Why do I feel like this little girl belongs to the prince?

This statement was drowned out by a cacophony of chatter and no one paid it any attention.

After a while, everyone's discussion gradually got lost in the following plot.

After Wu Shuang left with the child, she thought that after saying those words, she would never have any further contact with the prince.

Unexpectedly, her shop was harassed by local thugs who shamelessly claimed that the county magistrate was their uncle and that it wouldn't matter if she reported it to the authorities.

Who would have thought that the other party would be so shameless, actually trying to abduct the beautiful Wu Shuang?

During the struggle, Gu Xuanye appeared, rescued Wushuang with his men, and taught the thugs a lesson.

Even if Wu Shuang didn't want to see him, she couldn't ignore his help. The man next to Wu Shuang suddenly offered to thank him and invited him to his home for a meal. She originally thought that the prince would refuse, since he was a pampered prince and wouldn't be interested in such things. Unexpectedly, he actually nodded and agreed.

Since she was unwilling, Wushuang had no choice but to prepare the meal.

Now that Wushuang has started a business and has money of her own, she no longer needs to cook herself; instead, she has hired a chef to cook for her at home.

Watching the prince chatting happily with a man in her courtyard, occasionally teasing his daughter, Wushuang, wanting to avoid the sight and sound, hid in her own kitchen to watch the chefs prepare the dishes.

They call it supervising them.

Not long after she came in, a broad, warm body suddenly pressed against her back, instantly giving her goosebumps.

She knew this feeling all too well. She instinctively tried to leave, but a pair of strong hands pulled her back. She was terrified, but couldn't break free, afraid that the chef in the kitchen, who was focused on cooking, would see her.

"Don't move if you don't want anyone else to find out."

Wu Shuang indeed stopped moving. With tears in her eyes and biting her lip, she whispered a question to the man behind her about what he was doing.

Gu Xuanye, standing behind her, didn't answer her question. "Is this the life you wanted?"

Wu Shuang didn't remember how Gu Xuan Ye left later.

After the dishes were served, he pretended to be nonchalant.

The meal was tasteless to Wu Shuang. Whenever she saw him and her daughter getting close, she was always on edge, worried that he would find out, because the two of them looked so alike.

Fortunately, he didn't notice. After he left, Wu Shuang held the child, expressionless, lost in thought.

She didn't realize what was happening until the man sat down next to her.

The man smiled and dismissed the little girl from her arms.

"The man who helped me today must be Nono's biological father!" the man said with certainty.

Wu Shuang was stunned, opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

"Is it obvious?"

"You," the man smiled helplessly, "the expression on your face is almost impossible to hide. So what are your plans next?"

"I'm sorry, Xiao Lingran, thank you for your help in putting on this act today. I will live here with Nuonuo and make a good living. He is a prince and will probably return to the capital to live his princely life soon. He and I are from different worlds."

The man knew he couldn't persuade her; only those involved could truly understand the feeling.

"You know, I'm going to travel the world soon, so I probably won't be able to keep you company for much longer." He had been staying in Yun Town for too long, and the time he had agreed to meet with his partner was fast approaching. Even though he was reluctant, he had to leave first.

Looking at the woman before him, he couldn't hide the longing in his eyes, but he knew he couldn't rush things. Only he knew how jealous he was of that man.

"Don't worry, I've had someone inquire. His case in Yun Town is closed, and he'll be leaving soon, barring any unforeseen circumstances." Wu Shuang seemed to see the meaning in his eyes, but she dared not look at him or respond. She had seen and remembered all the kindness he had shown her and Nuonuo over the years, and it was precisely because he was so good that she couldn't…

Upon seeing this, the book appreciation event erupted in excitement once again.

"I knew it! Nuonuo is the prince's daughter!"

"Why don't you stay with Xiao Lingran? Really, he's really good to Wushuang and Nuonuo."

"But she's pregnant with the prince's child, so she should be with him! A woman's chastity is more important. Wushuang hasn't married the prince yet, but they've already had a sexual relationship. That's not good!"
