After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

The days passed quietly amidst the hustle and bustle, and finally, the time for Gu Liunian to leave home arrived.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful!" Gu Liunian looked at the reluctance on his family's faces and tried his best to soothe their emotions.

How could he bear to part with it? But some separations are for a better reunion!

"You must take good care of yourself!" The old lady's face was full of worry, and her eyes reddened.

A mother worries when her son travels far, but the eagle will eventually soar in its own sky and will not stay by its mother's side forever. She had long been aware of this.

"I'm waiting at home for your good news!"

After all this busy period, Lin Hao felt she had nothing left to say. Although a strong sense of reluctance welled up in her heart, she simply took it as a matter of getting used to relying on Gu Liunian and didn't take it seriously.

"Alright, while I'm away, I'll trouble you to take good care of Mother and Yu-ge'er!"

"Don't worry, I will take good care of them, you don't need to worry!" Lin Hao replied without hesitation.

Seeing her like this, Gu Liunian hesitated for a long time, but still managed to say, "Take good care of yourself too!"

"Mmm!" Lin Hao nodded, a sudden itch in her heart making her subconsciously avoid Gu Liunian's focused gaze.

Gu Liunian's eyes darkened, but before he could speak, his thoughts were interrupted by his son's voice.

"Father, I will study hard. Remember to think of me and come back soon!" the child said haltingly, holding back tears.

This separation was particularly different for him. In the past, although he was reluctant to part, the father and son were not very close, so it was not too difficult to bear. But now it was different.

Under Lin Hao's deliberate influence, the relationship between the father and son progressed rapidly. When they were suddenly separated, even the sensible Gu Yu could only manage not to cry or make a fuss.

"Yu-ge'er, you must be a good boy at home and listen to your grandmother and mother. You must also listen carefully to your teacher's teachings. When your father comes back, he will bring you a gift!"

Seeing the tears in his son's eyes, Gu Liunian felt bad too, and could only say this.

"Yes, I will definitely be a good boy!" The little boy nodded emphatically, promising to keep his promise to his father.

Even after a thousand miles of farewells, we must eventually part ways. Besides, Gu Liunian was going to travel with the people from the academy, so Lin Hao and the others could only watch him leave from here.

Only when the carriage was completely out of sight did the group return to their residence, feeling utterly disappointed.

On this day, the three masters of the mansion were all very depressed, and even the servants dared not play around, so the atmosphere in the mansion was gloomy.

Lin Hao initially thought that Gu Liunian's departure wouldn't have much of an impact on her, but when she found herself unable to muster any interest due to her reluctance and longing, she suddenly realized that Gu Liunian was no longer just someone she could live with!

When did this change occur?

Lin Hao rested her chin on her hand, leaned against the small machine, and pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

The more Lin Hao thought about it, the more confused she became. She shook her head in frustration. "Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it. What's done is done!"

Instead of wallowing in self-pity here, why not go out and see her career? Does her life really have to stop without Gu Liunian?

True to his word, Lin Hao mustered his courage and became full of energy.

"Fu Cui, bring up lunch. I'm hungry. Tell them to hurry up. We'll go out in a bit."

"Alright, I'll go right away." Seeing that she had finally regained her former vitality, Fu Cui was overjoyed and happily agreed.
