She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

My sister brought me millet porridge at noon. It was freshly cooked and brought to the hospital in a thermos, so the temperature was just right.

Su Maiqi fed her mother spoonful by spoonful, wiping away the residue from the corners of her mouth with a tissue every now and then.

Thinking back to when I was a child, and my mother fed me like this when I was sick, I couldn't help but tear up again.

After lunch, Su Maiqi put on some soft music and lay down on her side on the hospital bed.

She said softly, "Mom, I want to take a nap with you."

"Okay, you must be tired too, go take a nap."

Su's mother tucked the blanket around her daughter and looked at her with doting eyes.

The two listened to soft music flowing through the room, as if they could feel a calm lake gently rippling.

A gentle breeze caressed my skin and rippled across the lake's surface, creating shimmering waves that felt like a pair of tender hands caressing me.

And there was the golden sunset, shimmering, slanting down, so sacred and warm.

In this peaceful moment, Maggie felt her mother's breathing gradually become even and calm, and she finally fell asleep.

Su Maiqi rolled over to make herself more comfortable.

She was wide awake, and the thought of Gu Tingyu coming to see her mother in the afternoon made her feel uncertain.

Although the two obtained a marriage certificate, they were not actually husband and wife; the underlying interests and entanglements were complex and intertwined.

She wanted to send Gu Tingyu a message to explain, but after typing the message, she deleted it and ultimately held back.

Someone like him is clear-headed about these things. Since he agreed, he must have his own reasons and made his demands clear. Let him be.

Thinking this way, I finally felt a little more relaxed; I'd been forcing myself to stay strong all this time.

Suppressed fatigue and drowsiness gradually overwhelmed her, and Su Maiqi fell asleep.

In my dream, I went back to my childhood, when my father was still alive, and Maggie always fought with him to sleep with my mother.

“This is my mother.”

"This is my wife."

"I don't care, you're not allowed to sleep with my mom, go find your own mom."

"Then how about the three of us sleep together?"

Although she knew that once she fell asleep, her father would carry her back to her own room, Su Maiqi still thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of falling asleep with her parents.

She insisted on lying in the middle so that her mother could hold her.

Dad is telling me a bedtime story.

How happy we were back then.

She always said in her childish voice, "I don't want to grow up, I don't want to get married, I want to stay with my mom and dad forever."

In her dream, she returned to her childhood, becoming a little girl lying in her parents' bed.

So happy, so warm...

When she woke up, she couldn't help but shudder.

The mother leaned against the bed, smiling, while Gu Tingyu was already sitting in front of the bed.

Seeing Su Maiqi open her eyes, her mother said happily, "Xiao Gu is here. He said you were too tired and told me not to wake you."

Su Maiqi stood up awkwardly, pretending to be intimate, and said to Gu Tingyu, "Tingyu, how long have you been here?"

"I just arrived too. If you're tired, lie down for a while longer."

Gu Tingyu's voice was no longer calm and indifferent as before; it sounded like that of an ordinary husband—warm and considerate.

He looked different today than the previous times I'd seen him. He was dressed casually, in a white pullover and jeans, the brand of which was unreadable.

It seemed he had come prepared, and Maggie finally felt completely relieved.

Gu Tingyu had indeed been there for only three to five minutes when he entered the room and saw Su Maiqi sleeping on the hospital bed. Su's mother was sitting on the bed, watching her daughter sleeping soundly.

Her eyes held doting affection, sadness, and reluctance...

In that instant, Gu Tingyu thought of his own mother, who loved him in the same way. His heart suddenly softened.

Visiting Su's mother is, of course, part of the plan.

But at this moment, he was willing to forget all the disputes and scheming, and play the role of Su Maiqi's husband well, just so that Su's mother would have no regrets.

Mrs. Su looked at Gu Tingyu: "I liked Gu Tingyu the moment I saw him; he's so thoughtful and considerate. But Maggie, she doesn't even tell her mother she's dating. How long have you two known each other?"

Maggie glanced at Gu Tingyu, who calmly said, "Mom, we're colleagues. We've known each other for two years and have been dating for a year."

"Oh, you also work at Chenxing? Are you a designer too?"

"Mom, I'm in charge of planning and sales."

"That's good, you know your colleagues well. Maggie has had such a tough six months, working and going to the hospital at the same time, you two probably haven't had time to date, have you?"

“Mom, we always eat lunch together at the company. I should have come to see you much earlier…”

"Mom, it was me who told Tingyu not to come. I never intended to marry him..."

Su's mother knew her daughter well; she must be sick and burdened with too much responsibility, and she didn't want to burden her boyfriend.

She sighed and said, "Mom's illness can't be cured anyway, so there's no need to waste money on it; I'll be content as long as I'm alive and you're all happy."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "I want to be discharged and go home. I don't like hospitals. Being at home with you all is the best way to get through this final stage of my life..."

“No, Mom…” Maggie began, tears already streaming down her face.

Gu Tingyu held her hand and looked at Su's mother, saying, "Mom, I came here today to tell you that I have a relative who is a doctor. He said that there is a new immunotherapy program. It is a new research and development project. The clinical trials are nearing completion, and the results show that it is quite reliable and safe."

"There's still a chance to exploit a loophole in the policy and apply for a trial spot. The treatment is free. Time is of the essence, so I've already registered you. I'm here today to get your opinion."

Maggie glanced gratefully at Gu Tingyu; she knew he was lying.

He promised to find the best doctor to treat his mother, so he must have already made arrangements.

He's lying now about it being free so that his mother can accept it more easily.

Maggie felt a warm current in her heart. No matter what Gu Tingyu's reasons were, she received this warmth and thoughtfulness.

For a moment, Su Maiqi felt a little dazed. For some reason, a voice in her heart said:

"Perhaps this is the true nature of Gu Tingyu; he is inherently warm."

She quickly echoed Gu Tingyu's words, saying, "Yes, Mom, this project is quite safe. We can give it a try, what if it really works? I also hope you can see my and Tingyu's child."

At that moment, all she wanted to do was keep her mother alive, and that's when she started talking about having a baby.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Gu Tingyu subconsciously.

Fortunately, his expression remained normal.

As if she had made up her mind, Su Yunge looked at Gu Tingyu, extended her left hand, and he obediently reached out his hand as well.

She held her son-in-law's hand with her left hand, pulled her daughter's hand over with her right hand, placed it in Gu Tingyu's palm, and then covered it with her own hand.

With tears in her eyes, she said, "Xiao Gu, then I'll entrust Maggie to you. You said this project is reliable, and Mom believes you. I'll give it a try. Even if I don't have the strength to help you take care of your child in the future, I still want to see your child born."
