After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

"Yes, everything has been arranged with the master. Tu Bai is keeping an eye on things."

Feeling that his hair had stopped dripping wet, Gu Liunian waved his hand and stood up.

"Alright, I'm all done here. You should go and get something to eat!"

"Yes." Mo Ran did not refuse. There were many things to pay attention to along the way, and he needed to take a break as soon as possible.

As soon as the food entered my mouth, my stomach, which had been filled with dry rations all day, finally felt soothed, and it was as if my whole body was recharged with energy.

After finishing his meal in silence, feeling the long-lost relaxation in his body, Gu Liunian opened the window. The bright moon hung high, its cool light shining down and quietly falling into the lights of thousands of homes.

Such a scene seemed to possess a mysterious power, unexpectedly stirring up feelings of longing even in someone like him who was often away from home.

This time, however, in addition to his mother and son, another person also entered his mind.

What is she doing now?

She was probably lying in bed after taking a bath, looking at the newly bought sketchbook, occasionally offering a few comments that showed both disdain for the scholar and sympathy for the young lady.

Then he turned over and continued watching with great interest.

Or, while he was away, she would call Yu Ge'er over, and the two of them would make a ruckus, refusing to go to sleep until someone urged them. Then, the two of them would secretly make a face before finally going to sleep.

The person by the window stood quietly, upright, the moonlight falling on his face, casting shadows through his brow bone and the bridge of his nose, making it difficult to discern his expression.

The silence was broken only by a sudden knock on the door.

It was Mo Ran who came in to clean up the food.

The time was short, but enough to disrupt one's thoughts.

Realizing that he had been thinking about that person for so long, Gu Liunian smiled helplessly.

So that's how it is!

The observer, however, was completely unaware of when he had entered the game.

However, he doesn't reject this situation; he'll just let things take their course!

Perhaps, she will be different.

With that thought in mind, Gu Liunian slowly closed her eyes.

The bright moon carries longing, and perhaps sensing Gu Liunian's yearning, the mother and son are also talking about Gu Liunian at this moment.

"Mother, when is Father coming back?"

The little boy nestled in Lin Hao's arms, his outstretched arms wrapped around her neck, his voice somewhat downcast.

Lin Hao paused in her gentle patting of him. If it weren't for the little bun saying anything, she would have almost forgotten about this sugar daddy.

"Does Yu-ge'er miss him?"

Gu Yu couldn't explain what was going on either. In the past, his father would also be away for a long time, and although he would miss him, this time, the longing seemed to come even more fiercely.

However, in the end he just mumbled an "Mmm".

"Good boy Yu, your father will come back after he finishes his exams!"

Lin Hao tried to speak in a cheerful tone.

Children's dependence on their parents is innate. She had heard it said that children's love for their parents is the purest because they don't care about their parents' appearance, wealth, or status; they have a deep attachment simply because of the bond of blood.

She looked at the soft little bun in her arms, as if she had a real understanding of this statement.

"When was that?"

"Well, Mother doesn't know the exact time, but the exam is in March, and by the time we get back it will probably be close to April."

Seeing the little dumpling looking listless, Lin Hao's eyes lit up and she had an idea.

"How about this, tomorrow we'll paint a picture of plum blossoms, coloring one blossom each day. By the time all the plum blossoms are colored, Father will be back. Okay?"
