Gu Baisheng understood how Hu Hui felt.

She remembered that Hu Hui liked kids a lot.

After she gave birth to Shen, her mother helped her to take care of him for a while.

During that time, Shen who just grew teeth loved his grandmother the most.

Whenever Gu Baisheng thought about it, she felt sad.

Hu Hui raised her hand to pat her daughter's back when she saw her sad look, "What happened?"

Gu Baisheng pulled herself together and smiled, "I'm fine."

"Tell me about it whenever you feel sad, Shengsheng."

Gu Baisheng nodded, "Thank you, auntie."

"You're always the dearest to me."

The bond between mothers and daughters was incomparable.

Hu Hui knew who she was. Although she couldn't make it explicit, she wanted to let her daughter know.

As her mother, she would always help her and be with her.

Gu Baisheng smiled, "Thank you, auntie."

Hu Hui nodded gently.

She felt that she liked every part of Gu Baisheng.

...

Qu Xiaobo didn't sleep well at night.

She dreamt about Zhang Kai again.

But this time, she didn't dream about the sweet moments she shared with him.

Instead, she dreamed about Zhang Kai's horrible death.

She woke up from her dream, panting.

Her clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

She turned around and found that Gu Baisheng was deep in sleep next to her.

Qu Xiaobo took a deep breath and calmed herself down with her hand on her forehead. Then she got out of bed and made sure that Gu Baisheng was fully covered by the duvet.

She walked out of the room quietly with her puffer jacket on.

She closed the door quietly without disturbing anyone.

Gu Baisheng was completely unaware of it.

Hu Hui who slept in another bedroom definitely couldn't hear it, either.

Qu Xiaobo opened the door gently and went downstairs.

When she walked past the window, she saw a car in front of the building.

But she didn't pay much attention to the car.

If she took a second look, she would notice that she knew the car.

It was a very rare luxurious car.

And she knew the owner, too.

Qu Xiaobo didn't pay much attention to the car. She only glanced at it and then walked down the stairs.

Some of the lights stopped working, especially those in the corridor.

When Qu Xiaobo almost walked out of the building, she didn't see the steps clearly.

She suddenly missed a step.

She screamed in surprise.

She was held by a strong arm the next second.

Qu Xiaobo swallowed her scream back.

When she looked up, she saw the arm that was holding her and helping her keep her balance.

"You're..."

"Mo Shaoyan."

The man who just helped her walked to her with a gentle and elegant smile.

Under the dim light, his smile looked very pretty and charming.

She had to admit that Mo Shaoyan was qualified to be a playboy.

At least, he was good-looking and from a rich family.

His look and wealth could make lots of women fall for him.

But Qu Xiaobo was not one of them.

"What are you doing here? Anything you need to do here?"

After she regained her balance, she stepped back to keep a safe distance from him.

Mo Shaoyan noticed that and smiled, "Yes."

"I'll leave you to your business."

He thought Qu Xiaobo would try to find out why he was here.

Unexpectedly, she never acted normally and replied by leaving him to his business.

It surprised Mo Shaoyan who could always guess women's feelings correctly.

Qu Xiaobo didn't bother to ask anything about him.

She walked away.

Mo Shaoyan stopped looking surprised and grabbed her by her arm as soon as she took the first step, "Qu Xiaobo!"

Qu Xiaobo turned around and frowned at him as if he had been a pervert, "What?"

Mo Shaoyan was a bit pissed at Qu Xiaobo's look, "You don't have to look at me like this. I'm not a bad person."

"You're not a good person, either."

Qu Xiaobo shook his hand off.

She rubbed the place where she was grabbed at.

Mo Shaoyan realized that he grabbed her too hard.

So he apologized, "I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. I was just a bit impatient."

Qu Xiaobo looked at him and found his attitude strange.

She didn't want to waste more time on him and decided to leave.

"Wait for a second, Bobo!" Mo Shaoyan tried to grab her by her arm again when she was leaving.

But Qu Xiaobo turned around and glared at him.

He then withdrew his hand quickly.

Mo Shaoyan had no choice but to follow Qu Xiaobo, "Please wait, Bobo! I meant what I said."

"Try to mess up with someone else. I'm in a really bad mood now."

Qu Xiaobo wasn't impressed by what he said.

Instead, she was even bored.

Mo Shaoyan realized that Qu Xiaobo didn't believe in him at all.

He took a deep breath and speeded up to stop her, "I meant it!"

He emphasized it to show how sincere he was.

Qu Xiaobo frowned at his serious face.

Then she raised up her brows.

She started to laugh, "Are you serious?"

"Absolutely."

"How serious are you?"

Qu Xiaobo laughed at his firm look.

"As much as I possibly can be."

Mo Shaoyan said so word by word.

Qu Xiaobo thought about it after hearing what he said.

She looked at the pool in this neighborhood and pointed at it smilingly, "If you jump into the pool right now, I'll believe in what you said."

She was sure that Mo Shaoyan wouldn't jump into the icy water in winter.

Mo Shaoyan heard what Qu Xiaobo said.

He turned around to look at the pool and asked her seriously, "You will believe in my words and date me if I jump into it?"

Qu Xiaobo was sure that he wouldn't do so.

So, as soon as he finished his sentence, she nodded, "For sure."

Mo Shaoyan then turned around and walked to the pool without hesitation.

He jumped into the pool immediately.

Hearing the sound of Mo Shaoyan jumping into the pool, Qu Xiaobo was shocked when he jumped.

Did this dude lose his mind?

...

Atishoo!

Mo Shaoyan who was saved from the pool was now sitting on Hu Hui's sofa with a big towel on.

The security guard who saved him couldn't help sighing and shaking his head when he left.

Before he walked away, he complained to Hu Hui, "Young people can do anything for their loved ones. They can do all types of crazy things."

Hu Hui nodded at him bitterly.

Hu Hui closed the door and looked at Mo Shaoyan after seeing the security guard off.

Mo Shaoyan was soaked by the cold water because he jumped into a pool covered by ice in winter.

His hair almost froze when he was saved.

The security guard shouted at him and almost called the police after dragging him out of the pool.

Hu Hui had no idea why he jumped into the pool.

But after he was saved, he kept looking at Qu Xiaobo.

However, Qu Xiaobo had been avoiding his look.

The security guard thought this couple was in a fight, so he jumped into the pool.

But Hu Hui and Gu Baisheng knew that they were not a couple.

But why would he jump into the pool suddenly?

The sound of the bowl touching the table was heard.

A cup of hot ginger tea was put in front of Mo Shaoyan.

Mo Shaoyan thanked Gu Baisheng for the tea and then took up the bowl with his shaking hands.

After making sure that Mo Shaoyan warmed up a bit, Gu Baisheng started to ask him, "Did you lose your mind, Mo Shaoyan? You jumped into the pool in our neighborhood at midnight?"

Mo Shaoyan put down the bowl and looked at Qu Xiaobo.

Gu Baisheng started to look at Qu Xiaobo too, "Bobo?"

If Mo Shaoyan kept looking at Qu Xiaobo, it had something to do with her.

Qu Xiaobo stuttered, "I didn't know that he is an idiot!"

"Well?"

Qu Xiaobo realized that Gu Baisheng didn't get it. And she was being stared at by Mo Shaoyan, so she decided to be honest, "I wanted to take a walk after I woke up at midnight. But as soon as I stepped out of the building, I met Mo Shaoyan."

"As soon as you stepped out of the building?"

Gu Baisheng was confused, "Were you waiting outside our building at night, Mo Shaoyan?"

Mo Shaoyan was embarrassed, "I couldn't fall asleep, so I waited in this neighborhood hoping to see Bobo early in the morning."

"Didn't I tell you not to come over again?"

Gu Baisheng frowned.

Mo Shaoyan became silent and looked at Hu Hui pitifully, "Auntie Hu, you know that I really like Bobo."

Hu Hui sighed.

She didn't know what to say.

Gu Baisheng asked, "Why did you jump into the pool?"

Mo Shaoyan looked at Qu Xiaobo again.

Qu Xiaobo couldn't stand it anymore, so she decided to share everything, "He asked me to date him and told me that he really liked me. I was disgusted by it, so I asked him to jump into the pool to prove his sincerity."

"So you would believe that he really likes you if he jumps?"

Gu Baisheng knew what happened.

Qu Xiaobo nodded and glared at Mo Shaoyan, "Yeah, but I didn't know that he was stupid enough to do that!"

Even if he was called stupid, Mo Shaoyan didn't mind it at all. He smiled and asked, "Now I did what you said. Do you believe me now?"
