“I heard everything when you were talking to him the other day. You even planned to take our children away!”
Gu Zhan gripped Su Luo’s shoulders and asked, “Su Luo, how can you be so heartless? You know I can’t live without you and the children. Just because Lin Tian told you to do so; not only did you want to run away with him but also taking them with you. Have you ever thought about me? How am I going to survive without all three of you?”
“I…”
Before Su Luo could explain, the door was opened.
The two adorable cutie-pies ran in. One of them grabbed Su Luo’s hand and looked up at her.
“Mommy, please don’t take us away from daddy.”
Gu Bei’s eyes were swollen from crying; he was teary eyed.
“We want both you and daddy. We don’t want to go to anywhere else.”
There was anger in Gu Xi’s eyes; she seemed to be mad at Su Luo.
Gu Bei and Gu Xi had been eavesdropping outside the door the whole time. When they heard that Suo Luo was planning to take them away from their dad, they couldn’t bear it anymore and rushed in.
“You don’t have to care about my feelings, but you should at least ask the children who they want to be with, right?”
Gu Zhan was trying to persuade Su Luo to stay. He didn’t know that this Su Luo in front of him had no intention of leaving at all.
The children were taking their daddy’s side. They pursed their lips and looked at her with pleading eyes.
Their fair and tender faces were slightly red. They were round and looked like delicious snacks.
Su Luo resisted the urge to kiss them. She squatted down and hugged both of them, and quickly explained, “Mommy won’t go. Daddy misunderstood me. Mommy just wants to take you with me and turn down Uncle Lin. I won’t contact him again in the future.”
After she finished speaking, Su Luo raised her eyes to look at Gu Zhan. Her words were actually meant for him.
Gu Zhan frowned. He seemed to be hesitant. He wasn’t sure if he should believe her or not.
“Really? Mommy, you’re not lying to us, are you?”
Although Gu Xi was too young to understand adult’s world, she knew from past experience that her mother cared about Uncle Lin a lot, maybe even more so than her and Gu Bei.
Like Gu Zhan, Gu Xi also doubted that Su Luo would give up her plan of leaving with Lin Tian.
Su Luo felt a little helpless. The original owner of this body must have been really stupid. Even the children would not believe her.
She nodded seriously, “It’s true. I swear that if I lied, I would never get to see you two again.”
Gu Xi and Gu Bei knew that Su Luo loved them very much. She wouldn’t make such an oath, unless she meant to keep her words.
Gu Bei shook Gu Zhan’s arm, “Daddy, I think mom didn’t lie to us. She swore on me and Xixi.”
Su Luo could tell that Gu Zhan still did not fully believe her. She stood up and looked at him in the eyes, “I was going to ask you to go with me and meet with Lin Tian, but I didn’t have time to tell you yet. I didn’t expect you’ll misunderstand me like this.”
After she said this, Gu Zhan’s eyes flashed.
“Do you really plan to bring me along?”
Gu Zhan softened and asked her.
“Yes, as true as steel.”
Su Luo cupped his face; his face felt cold.
“But… why? Why did you suddenly…”
This was the first time that Su Luo touched him so intimately. Gu Zhan’s mind went blank and didn’t finish.
Su Luo understood his intentions and said, “You want to ask me why I suddenly changed so much, right?”
Gu Zhan nodded.
“You’ll know when we meet Lin Tian. I won’t tell you now because I’m hungry. I want to eat breakfast.”
Su Luo gave him a sweet smile.
Being hungry was just an excuse. She knew Gu Zhan wouldn’t completely trust her unless he saw it with his own eyes. And that’s what she was going to do.
