"I'm sorry, Little Ze. I will not let them misunderstand anymore." Su Qinglan held his hand and walked to the mother and son, shaking her hand while holding Gu Yize's hand.

"Little kid, it's his fault to push you, but you can't say that I abandon him anymore, understand?"

Gu Yize felt proud. Su Qinglan patted his back and said to him gently, "Go and apologize to your classmate. You have to get along well. You can't fight."

The other child's mother seemed to be a reasonable person. She also disciplined her son, "Xiao Yi, you are the one to blame. You will not have your snacks today."

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry."

After a moment of hesitation, two childish voices sounded at the same time, and they both awkwardly threw themselves back into their mother's arms.

"I'm sorry, Miss Su. I will discipline him properly when we get home." She knew her surname, but Su Qinglan had no impression of her.

She looked at her for a moment and remembered nothing. She simply asked, "You know me?"

He Bingxi smiled, "We met once when I went to Gu Corporation. I didn't expect to meet you here."

She met too many people in Gu Corporation every day. No wonder she didn't remember her. Under her puzzled gaze, He Bingxi introduced herself, "I'm He Bingxi. My husband is Nie Chengfeng. We should have met before when we were cooperating on the Universal project."

Su Qinglan remembered much more when she mentioned the project. She had never forgotten about the important partners and project plans.

Nie Chengfeng was the chairman of Jian’an Group and had signed a contract with Gu Corporation for three years. He was still a reliable partner at the moment.

"So it's Madam Nie." She smiled politely. They should just have had a casual chat when she recognized her, but now that their sons had a quarrel, the situation was extremely awkward.

However, it seemed like He Bingxi had something to say to Su Qinglan given her hesitant expression.

"As the saying goes: Out of blows, friendship grows. This is my business card and my WeChat account is on it. If there is anything else, we can talk about it another day." Fortunately, she went out with her business card. But what did He Bingxi want with her? It should be related to the Jian’an Group.

Maybe she was waiting for her here on purpose today.

After exchanging the card, Su Qinglan took Gu Yize home. He immediately became much more spirited when he saw the cake, which could tell from his expression, but he still said, "You women can't do without desserts."

Su Qinglan smiled, not in a hurry to expose him. She added, "Yeah, cakes are so delicious. This one is not enough for me."

Hearing this, Gu Yize obviously became nervous. He held her by the sleeve and said, "No, you can't eat so much. It will hurt your teeth and make you fat."

"I'll lose weight if I get fat." Su Qinglan opened the cake box. There was a delicate ice cream cake in the box. The milk flavor greeted them and immediately made Gu Yize hungry.

Gu Yize was mouthwatering. "How hard is it to lose weight? You are in the best shape. I will reluctantly share some with you."

"That's enough, little glutton. You sound so much like your daddy." Su Qinglan touched the tip of his nose, cut off a piece of cake, and handed it over.

Her mentioning of Gu Jinchi rang a bell with Gu Yize. "Mommy, how is Daddy now?"

"He..." Su Qinglan hesitated for a moment. Seeing him drop his pretense and indulge in the cake, she once again lied, "Now he is in the best institution for treatment. He will wake up soon and be able to go to the amusement park with us."

Gu Yize trusted Su Qinglan a lot. Even though he had only been by her side for a few months, what he had experienced made him rely on Su Qinglan in every way possible.

"It's great to have Mommy." Gu Yize stood up and suddenly kissed Su Qinglan with his cold mouth, which was stained with a lot of creams. "You may have no idea that when I was with Daddy alone, we could only stare at each other.

"If you didn't come back, Daddy would only ask me to go to read and watch TV." He seemed to recall the pain from the past and could not help but let out a long sigh.

Su Qinglan's thoughts drifted away from the cake. During these five years, he hadn't felt motherly love and lost childishness. He had been alone for such a long time that he acted like an adult, which is a defense mechanism.

"Then I have to thank your daddy for not doing anything. During the time when he recovered, I will accompany you every day." Su Qinglan gently cut a piece of cake and gave it to him. She had to make up for him and accompany him more.

"Really?" It seemed that all these wonderful things happened at once. Gu Yize couldn't believe it. He looked at Su Qinglan blankly and repeatedly sought confirmation.

"Yes. When have I ever lied to you?" She smiled as she finished the last bite of the cake. In the next moment, Gu Yize threw himself into her arms.

This was the first time he hugged her so tightly.

Su Qinglan's astonishment disappeared in an instant. Her heart immediately softened. She actively responded as well.

"Actually, I don't really like childish things, but if you like, I can go with you," Gu Yize said insincerely.

"Alright. It's you who will accompany me." His duplicity made Su Qinglan not know whether to laugh or cry.

A noise suddenly came from the door. Qin Zaixin pushed the door open and entered. When she saw Su Qinglan, she could not help but be stunned. "You informed no one before coming back. If I had known earlier, I would not have come today."

During this period of time, Qin Zaixin had been staying with Gu Family to take care of Gu Yize and had helped her a lot.

Moreover, she must love Gu Yize very much. She put several bags of gifts on the table and almost all of them were bought for him.

Among them were a small suit, some snacks, and toys.

"If I don't come back, I'm afraid you will spoil my son." Su Qinglan rubbed Gu Yize's head and motioned for him to hand over a piece of cake to Qin Zaixin.

Looking at him running around to deliver the cake and then running back, Qin Zaixin felt heart warmed. However, she still said, "I am not like this every day. I promise him if he gets first place in the kindergarten exam, I will give him a gift. I just went around the mall today..."

Just went around? Then how did she buy so many things?

They were obviously selected. Su Qinglan smiled and did not continue to ask. She turned to Gu Yize and said, "Little Ze, you are not allowed to ask Auntie Qin for rewards for your performance."

"I didn't. She wanted to give me gifts. Why don't you think about it? With my extremely high IQ, the kindergarten exam is just a piece of cake?" Gu Yize proudly raised his chin, his expression full of pride.

Gu Yize had inherited Gu Jinchi's excellent genes. Not to mention the kindergarten exams which were easy as hell, perhaps he would be able to achieve good results if he participated in the primary school exam now.

But when two proud persons met, things changed.

Qin Zaixin held the cake in one hand and walked over to poke Gu Yize's little head. "What are you talking about? You're trying to smear me in front of your mommy. If you talk about terms with me again next time, I won't do you any favors.”

With Su Qinglan here, how could Gu Yize act against his own self-interest? He stuck out his tongue and stopped speaking.

"Remember to thank your Auntie Qin," Su Qinglan said sincerely as she got up and poured a cup of coffee."Thank you for taking care of Little Ze these days,"

"Yes, she is worthy of praise. She did a good job. She is indeed a good auntie." Gu Yize also nodded to show his endorsement.

Qin Zaixin could only roll her eyes when she heard such an awkward comment. "Thank you, but I don't care about such a comment. I refused many paid jobs as a babysitter. You should feel lucky to be taken care of by me."

In order to stop them from arguing again, Su Qinglan gave everything on the table to Gu Yize and let him go back to his room. "It's the lady's afternoon tea time now. Go play by yourself. I will watch a movie with you later."

"Alright, but I don't want to watch cheesy love films." Gu Yize agreed and went back to his room with the gifts.

When there were only the two of them left, the atmosphere became much heavier. Qin Zaixin got straight to the point and asked the same question.

"How is he?"

Su Qinglan took a deep breath, shook his head, and stirred the coffee randomly, "It's our resort to find Lin Xiaoxiao. Now they are in the process of researching inhibitors. They are not sure how long it will take, but it should not be very long."

"May I ask if there will be any consequences if we do not interfere?" Qin Zaixin clenched her fists. Back then, she should not have believed that crazy Sheng Feiyu.

"Metabolism consumes energy. He is accelerating his metabolism. The faster his recovery speed is, the faster his life span will decline." Su Qinglan took a sip of coffee and experienced a bitter taste.

"I'm really sorry about this. I know that I can't make up for it no matter what I do now, but there is one thing I can do my best." Qin Zaixin looked up at her, her eyes filled with guilt and determination.

Su Qinglan shook her head. "I know that you were being kind back then. There is no need to mention it again since the matter is over."

"Thank you for your generosity, but I can't forgive myself. I will find a way to bring Sheng Feiyu to justice. A few days ago, he sent me a message. He was showing off that Feng Zhen had once again invested in him for biological research." This was unbearable for Qin Zaixin.

He had already harmed Gu Jinchi's family, yet he was still unwilling to give up on creating such a dangerous thing!
