After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

"If that's the case, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?" The old lady couldn't stand her smiling face and asked deliberately.

He was actually quite pleased that she thought that way. Everyone knows the reasoning, but few can truly refuse such material possessions.

Lin Hao's smile froze. Oh no, she was too happy and accidentally blurted out her true feelings!

"Well, Mother, the capable should do more, and besides, it's because you care about me! You can't bear to see me running around all day, right?"

As Lin Hao spoke, she blinked her big, bright eyes, looking playful and lively, and incredibly cute.

"Fine, fine, I really owe you!" The old lady couldn't stand her like this. She felt that raising a daughter was just like this, what could she do? She could only spoil her!

After a round of banter, the two didn't forget their business and made arrangements for everything, just waiting for the day of the banquet to arrive.

A slightly chilly breeze blew in, signaling the auspicious day. Early in the morning, the entire Gu family was busy. Even the young master of the Gu family, Gu Yu, was granted a day off. Dressed in his new clothes, he was curiously looking at Lin Hao's attire.

"Mom looks so beautiful today!" The little boy looked at Lin Hao with undisguised amazement.

Lin Hao's attire today is different from her festive outfits during the Lunar New Year. Today, she is the hostess of the banquet, so she cannot be underestimated, nor can she dress too dazzlingly. Therefore, her attire must show the importance she attaches to the banquet, but it cannot be too flamboyant.

Because of this, Lin Hao thought about it for a long time before deciding on her final attire.

Wearing a lotus-green brocade jacket and skirt, over which was a sky-blue cloud-swallow brocade cloak, she added a touch of brightness to the early spring season. Her hair was styled in a bun with her hair tied up in a traditional Chinese updo, simply adorned with a jade hairpin inlaid with pearls and a few kingfisher feather hair ornaments. She wore delicate jade and ginkgo leaf earrings on her small ears, and an amber and lapis lazuli bracelet on her wrist.

Her entire outfit was understated and elegant, but if someone knowledgeable saw it, they would know that this outfit was not as simple as it looked. Both the kingfisher feather inlay and the quality of the jadeite were of the highest quality, something that ordinary people could not find without spending a lot of money.

Lin Hao was naturally happy to receive a compliment, even if the person was just a little boy. She replied enthusiastically, "Yu-ge'er looks very handsome today too!"

This wasn't entirely flattery; the little boy was indeed dressed up beautifully and adorably today. His scholarly attire, which made him appear taller over the past six months, subtly revealed a hint of his father's character, and he already resembled a dignified gentleman in his childhood.

If time allowed, Lin Hao really wanted to hold the child in her arms and cherish him. However, she didn't deprive herself of that. She reached out and touched the little dumpling's still somewhat chubby face, sighing contentedly.

"Our Yu-ge'er is becoming more and more like a gentleman!"

The little boy, who was initially a bit shy about letting his mother touch his face, straightened up even more after hearing Lin Hao's words and no longer refused Lin Hao's touch.

My mother said he's a true gentleman! Let's make my mother happy then; it's a gentleman's duty to be with his mother and bring her joy!

The little one tried hard to straighten his body, pretending to be reluctant, but the corners of his mouth that he couldn't suppress were so funny!
