Qu Xiaobo worked at the Maternal and Child Care Service Centre, so she completely understood it.

But she and Zhang Kai hadn't married yet, so they wouldn't consider having a baby.

Things would get complicated if they had a baby before marriage.

And having babies needed plans.

They couldn’t give birth to a baby with no plan.

Babies needed happy and harmonious families. That was good for their development.

She hadn't even thought about marriage.

How could she give birth to a baby without starting a family first?

Qu Xiaobo looked down, "Auntie Hu, I completely get what you mean. But it's not time now."

"Bobo, it's the time. You’ve grown up. What's the right time if not now?"

As a member of the old generation, Hu Hui wanted to see her children start their own families with their partners and have healthy and lovely children.

She treated Qu Xiaobo as her own daughter.

So, she hoped to see Qu Xiaobo get married, have a child, and live a happy life someday.

Qu Xiaobo looked down and became a little bit sad on hearing this.

While seeing Qu Xiaobo's face, Gu Baisheng knew that she recalled the tragedy of her parents.

So, she stopped Hu Hui right away.

She said, "Auntie Hu, we'll stay here for dinner. Thank you for the delicious food in advance!"

"You're welcome!" Hu Hui noticed Qu Xiaobo's sadness, so she changed the subject too, "I'll buy some vegetables from the supermarket."

Gu Baisheng stood up, "Bobo and I can do that. We'll be back really soon because it's really near!"

She tried to drag Qu Xiaobo up.

Whenever Qu Xiaobo was sad, Gu Baisheng would take her on a walk.

She did so this time.

When she noticed that Qu Xiaobo was unhappy, she held Qu Xiaobo's hand to take her out.

Qu Xiaobo looked at Gu Baisheng's face and forced a smile, "I'll buy some vegetables with Shengsheng, Auntie Hu."

Hu Hui knew that Gu Baisheng took Qu Xiaobo with her on purpose, so she nodded, "I'll wait for you two at home."

"OK, Auntie Hu."

Gu Baisheng dragged Qu Xiaobo out and greeted Song Shuang.

After Gu Baisheng and Qu Xiaobo went out, Song Shuang set off to the kitchen, "I'll help you to kill the fish, mom."

Hu Hui didn't refuse it and nodded, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

He was very skilled at killing fishes.

He was an experienced surgeon.

He could operate on people agilely, not to mention kill fishes.

Hu Hui and Song Shuang both had their own thoughts.

Gu Baisheng and Qu Xiaobo were not home now.

After sitting in the living room for a while, Hu Hui went to her daughter's room.

Song Shuang killed the fish, cleaned it, and put it in the steamer. Then he washed his hands and wanted to tell Hu Hui about it in the living room.

But Hu Hui was not there.

He went to Gu Baisheng's room to look for her.

When he reached the doorway, he saw Hu Hui take out a carton under Gu Baisheng's bed.

She probably heard Song Shuang's footsteps.

She turned back at the doorway with her wrinkled eyes and said with an expressionless face, "Perfect timing. Please throw this carton for me when you have time."

Song Shuang looked at the carton and asked, "What's inside?"

"Some of my daughter's relics."

Hu Hui looked at Song Shuang coldly.

She didn't seem like looking at her son-in-law she liked.

Instead, she was like looking at an unfavorable stranger.

Song Shuang nodded, "OK."

Hu Hui looked down and gently touched the carton. She smiled with her dim eyes, "I don't know whether it is her luck to marry you. But it is what it is. I hope we can bury the secret forever and never let my daughter know."

Song Shuang's eyes went dimmer.

After taking a breath, Hu Hui stood up and walked out of the room.

After Song Shuang watched her leave, he went inside the room, squatted, and opened the carton.

There was a pile of books in the carton.

Song Shuang was shocked when he saw the title of the first book.

...

Gu Baisheng and Qu Xiaobo went to the nearby supermarket.

The weather was cold.

Gu Baisheng wrapped her down jacket tightly and made herself like a snowball.

Qu Xiaobo acted like she couldn't feel the cold outside and stared at the road blankly.

She walked forward stiffly.

When she was crossing the road in front of the neighborhood, she didn't even watch the road before stepping onto it.

Luckily, Gu Baisheng caught sight of the speedy luxury car.

She dragged Qu Xiaobo back, "Watch out, Bobo!"

Qu Xiaobo was stopped immediately.

And the car owner stopped the car because he almost hit a passerby.

He was a bit angry. After getting off the car, he said impolitely, "You don't even watch..."

"Mo Shaoyan?"

Gu Baisheng called his name before he finished his aggressive sentence.

Mo Shaoyan was surprised when he saw Gu Baisheng.

He checked out who was next to her subconsciously.

After less than a second, he suddenly changed his angry face and smiled, "What a coincidence, Mrs. Song."

Mrs. Song?

Gu Baisheng had been called Mrs. Song by Song Yi and Mo Shaoyan.

She was not used to it.

Qu Xiaobo frowned angrily because of Mo Shaoyan's sudden appearance.

Everything went back when you were unlucky.

She even bumped into this stupid rich man when she was in a bad mood.

"Where are you going, Mrs. Song? May I give you a ride?"

Mo Shaoyan suddenly became friendly.

Qu Xiaobo looked at him in despise and held Gu Baisheng's arm to drag her away.

Mo Shaoyan was pushed away by Qu Xiaobo before he walked aside, "Move! Don't get in my way!"

Gu Baisheng was speechless.

Mo Shaoyan was confused after being pushed away forcibly by Qu Xiaobo.

He had met thousands of beauties.

None of them was as unappreciative and grumpy as Qu Xiaobo.

Mo Shaoyan gritted his teeth.

Gu Baisheng looked at Mo Shaoyan who was pushed away rudely with sympathy.

She asked Qu Xiaobo quietly, "You and he..."

"I hate this kind of idiot the most!"

Qu Xiaobo was so impressed by what Mo Shaoyan did when they met at the hotel last time.

So, she hated this person.

"Actually..."

"Don't say anything nice about him!"

Qu Xiaobo warned Gu Baisheng.

Gu Baisheng finished her sentence, "Actually, he is an idiot."

Qu Xiaobo felt much better after hearing Gu Baisheng's words.

Good friends meant that you hated the same person.

Qu Xiaobo held Gu Baisheng's hand and walked to the supermarket.

Qu Xiaobo had been in a gloomy mood. She became grumpier after Mo Shaoyan showed up.

Because of that, she felt less disappointed and depressed.

Gu Baisheng walked around the aquatic section with Qu Xiaobo and talked with her about what Hu Hui had said this afternoon.

"You know my mom..."

Gu Baisheng just started to explain.

But Qu Xiaobo said, "You don't have to explain it to me. I got it. Auntie Hu is like my mother. What she said is for my own good. She won't even waste her time if she doesn't care about me."

Qu Xiaobo didn't have a mother, so she was really close to Hu Hui and took her as her mother.

Although what Hu Hui said about her relationship with Zhang Kai made her a little bit depressed, she knew clearly that the reason why Hu Hui said so was that she wished her to be happy.

She understood it.

"It's nice that you know it. My mom is quite straightforward with her family members. Her extreme honesty can be hurtful."

Hu Hui was not so honest with other people.

But she never sugarcoated her words when she talked with her family members.

Some words were beautiful but not practical.

It was often said that the honest advice could be harsh.

But it was helpful.

Gu Baisheng was raised in a single-parent family since she was little, so she trusted her mother very much.

She knew that it was not easy for her mother to bring her up alone.

So, she could understand her mother's behaviors.

She was very considerate. Whenever they had conflicts, she would sit down and talk with her mother.

All conflicts could be talked about with the person you loved the most.

Because of Gu Baisheng's problem-solving method, she almost had no conflict or mental barrier with her mother.

Qu Xiaobo nodded, "I understand it. Auntie Hu is a good mother. She is also my mother. I won't hate her no matter what she says to me. You know what kind of person I am, Shengsheng."

Qu Xiaobo looked at Gu Baisheng sincerely.

Gu Baisheng then nodded, "Great."

Qu Xiaobo sighed, "You know that you, Auntie Hu, and Zhang Kai are the only relatives I have in this world."

She reached out to the bottle full of white pepper on the rack sadly. There was a deep sadness in her eyes.

But she never showed her sorrow to other people.

Even if it was Gu Baisheng who was next to her, she wouldn't let her see her sad face.

So, she looked away to hide her sorrow from Gu Baisheng with the excuse of getting something from the rack.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she took the bottle of white pepper off the rack, she saw Mo Shaoyan's face in the gap between the racks.

"Ah!"

Qu Xiaobo was shocked by Mo Shaoyan's face and eyes, which were staring at her.

On hearing Qu Xiaobo's scream, Gu Baisheng asked her right away, "What happened?"

Qu Xiaobo was frightened by Mo Shaoyan.

Mo Shaoyan who was on the other side of the rack took the products away and greeted them boldly, "Nice to see you again, Mrs. Song and Miss Qu."

Gu Baisheng was surprised when she saw Mo Shaoyan's face.
