After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

It's not that it's abnormal for such a young child to be shy, but what worries Lin Hao is that even in his most familiar environment, surrounded by his closest people, the little boy still showed unease. Isn't that a bit too timid?

She remembered that children her age in later generations would be in kindergarten and wouldn't be so shy if they had their parents with them.

Lin Hao thought about it and realized that it was probably because he had been staying at home all the time. He hadn't seen many strangers, so he was naturally afraid.

"So, baby, would you like to go out with Mommy tomorrow?"

"But I still want to study!" The little boy's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head when he thought about studying.

"You can study with your father in the morning, and then we'll go out in the afternoon, how about that?" Lin Hao knew, of course, that he couldn't delay Xiao Baozi's studies, after all, cultivating a study habit is not an easy thing!

"Is it okay?" the little boy asked excitedly, his face full of anticipation.

"Of course, I'll talk to your father in a bit," Lin Hao said confidently.

"What are you saying to me?" Gu Liunian came in just in time to hear this question.

"I'll tell you that Yu-ge will study with you tomorrow morning, and we'll go out for a stroll in the afternoon!" Lin Hao replied.

Gu Liunian thought about it for a moment and then nodded, saying, "Okay. How about we go out in the morning and study in the afternoon?"

Meeting Lin Hao's slightly surprised gaze, he explained, "I'm going to visit a gentleman this morning."

"Oh, that's fine too, it's all the same anyway!" Lin Hao said indifferently.

"Sweetie, you need to go to bed early tonight, we'll go out together tomorrow!"

"Great!" The little dumpling was so happy to be with his mother!

He couldn't fall asleep, but his mother told him to go to bed early and he had to listen to her!

After watching the nanny take the little bun away, Lin Hao went to wash up. When she came back, Gu Liunian was leaning against the bed, holding a book in his hand as expected.

Tall and slender, dressed in white, with an elegant demeanor, the dim light softened even his strong facial features!

Although she had seen it many times, Lin Hao still paused, inwardly cursing herself for being so weak-willed. What was there to make her heart race? It wasn't like they hadn't slept together before!

Thinking this, she moved closer to the bed.

A faint fragrance wafted over, and Gu Liunian's nostrils twitched slightly as he looked at Lin Hao. He saw that she had just come out of the bath, her long hair was half-dry, and her cheeks were flushed from the steam. Under the candlelight, she looked even more charming, and his heart couldn't help but flutter!

With a long arm, he pulled the person into his embrace.

Lin Hao instantly lost her balance and couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah!"

"Madam?" Fu Cui's voice rang out from the outside.

"No, it's nothing!" Lin Hao replied awkwardly, then glared at the culprit with annoyance!

The moment their eyes met, the sheer depth of the space inside made them pause in surprise.

She quickly said, "I have something important to tell you!" As she spoke, she tried to struggle to get up.

Unfortunately, Gu Liunian didn't give her that chance, and tightened his grip on her.

His voice was low and husky as he whispered in her ear, "What is it?"

Feeling the heat that didn't belong to her spreading around her ears, Lin Hao felt the hairs on her entire body stand on end.

"It's really important business, it's about Yu-ge'er!"

As soon as she said this, Lin Hao felt the arms around her loosen their grip, and she quickly sat up straight.

Although she was still being held, the oppressive feeling that had made her blush and her heart race had disappeared!

Gu Liunian asked seriously, "What's wrong with Yu-ge'er?"

"Didn't you notice that Yu-ge'er's behavior at Rongshou Hall tonight was a bit abnormal?" Lin Hao asked Gu Liunian.

“It is indeed quieter now!” Gu Liunian gave his answer after a moment’s thought.

Hearing him say that, it seems he has been paying close attention to Xiao Baozi. Lin Hao felt a little better. Gu Liunian is a decent father, knowing to keep an eye on his son's activities.

"But things were pretty normal later on, weren't they?" As soon as the words left his mouth, Gu Liunian realized the problem.

"You mean, he's afraid of strangers?" he asked hesitantly.

“Yes, I just asked Yu-ge’er. Although he said he didn’t quite understand, it should be about that!” Lin Hao nodded.

"So, you want to take him out more often to meet strangers!" Gu Liunian said this with a tone of certainty.

“Yes! He’s a boy, he can’t be allowed to develop a timid nature!” Lin Hao nodded again, her tone still carrying a hint of worry.

Gu Liunian's gaze towards her changed again. At this moment, he suddenly felt that she really was Yu Ge'er's mother!

Only those who truly love and cherish Yu Ge'er as their own child will make plans for his future and consider whether his personality is suitable for life.

Seeing him staring at her blankly without saying a word, Lin Hao nudged him.

"Why are not you talking?"

"It's nothing! In that case, we'll take him out to see more of the world more often!" Gu Liunian did not shirk his responsibilities just because he was studying at home!

Lin Hao responded that it was great! She doesn't want her son's childhood to be without his father's involvement.

"Tomorrow I'll take him around to see things, let him broaden his horizons, and hopefully let him talk to people more!" Lin Hao said, expressing her idea.

"And another thing..." Lin Hao hesitated, unsure whether she should speak.

"Just say whatever you're thinking. Treat Yu-ge'er like your own child and say whatever you want!" Gu Liunian noticed her hesitation and spoke directly.

“I think that Yu’er is usually surrounded by elders who spoil him. Perhaps we could arrange for him to have a playmate of similar age to keep him company? If the two of them are together, he will be more willing to communicate with others!”

Gu Liunian pondered for a moment, "Alright, I'll think about the candidates in the next couple of days!"

Seeing that he agreed, Lin Hao was immediately very happy. Even without a kindergarten, having a playmate should enrich Xiao Baozi's childhood!

Seeing her so happy, Gu Liunian's heart softened a bit. She was becoming more and more like the image of a wife in his mind! Family-oriented, loving to children, decisive, and of good character!

He thought that agreeing to the Lin family's request was probably one of the most correct things he had ever done in his life! Now, with a beautiful wife and young children by his side, and his mother in good health, he had achieved what many people strive for in their entire lives!

The more he thought about it, the more intense his gaze became towards Lin Hao. Seeing that she still seemed oblivious, his hands gradually became restless.

When Lin Haogang transmigrated, the original owner was naturally thin due to being bedridden with illness.

But after she came over, she ate and drank with Xiao Baozi every day, and her face became more rounded like a young girl. Even her body became slender and plump, with a waist that could be encircled by one hand, slender limbs, and full and rounded upper and lower body. Even Lin Hao herself couldn't help but sigh that this body was really amazing!

Gu Liunian naturally noticed this as well. It's hard to say that he wasn't affected by this when it came to his intimate relationship with Lin Hao. Food and sex are human nature, and he never considered himself a person who could remain unmoved by temptation!
