ways find time for even when busy with work."Hearing the word 'wife,' Wen Ran's face flushed red. She turned her head away uncomfortably and pouted silently while her mother smiled and said, "If it do...The Substitute Ex-Wife of the President

Gu Baby hung up the phone and pondered over Miao Miao's words. Miao Miao was the only friend Gu Baby had besides Avril. Gu Baby was a woman who found it hard to form deep friendships; she was approachable and easy-going, yet not many people could become her close friends. She didn't have many friends; Nick was one of them, but that was simply because he lived next door to her for years.

Avril was her sister, they grew up together and looked alike, so their relationship was very good. Miao Miao was Gu Baby's best friend in college, if described with romantic feelings it would be love at first sight, but as friends, it was like old acquaintances meeting again. Although there hadn't been much contact over the past few years, Gu Baby always remembered her dear friend. No matter how long they went without seeing each other, a phone call could still lead to endless conversation.

She chased Mo Chen, and many of her clever ideas came from Miao Miao, but she often messed things up at the last minute.

Nick walked over with a sad expression. Gu Baby brushed aside all strange thoughts in her mind and smiled as she greeted Nick with "Good morning!" Nick also said good morning, staring deeply into Gu Baby's eyes.

Gu Baby was puzzled; Nick had always been optimistic and never looked at her like this before.

"What’s wrong, Nick" Gu Baby asked in confusion. "What happened"

Nick's gaze drifted to Mo Chen in the little park. He asked Gu Baby, "Is he really your child's father"

Gu Baby nodded.

Nick looked at Gu Baby with a hint of anger; she didn't know where his anger stemmed from and still worriedly asked him what had happened. Nick coldly said, "What has happened Lisha, you really don’t know what’s going on You never told me that you two already…”

He wanted to say the word 'married,' but couldn't bring himself to do so, “You never told me about him.”

Gu Baobao was puzzled; why would she have no reason to tell Nick about Mo Chen's existence, especially since she herself had forgotten about him After Luo Mo's incident, Mu Mu and Sen Sen avoided mentioning Luo Mo to avoid upsetting Gu Baobao. Lin Lin’s situation, Nick knew roughly, but he hadn’t been informed of the existence of Mo Chen, so at this moment, he felt deceived.

"Why would I tell you" Gu Baobao asked Nick. He had declared his feelings numerous times and always made it clear that he was willing to take care of her children and her, promising to cherish her for life and treat the kids as his own.

But she rejected him outright, just like she did with Mo Chen back then. Gu Baobao told Mo Chen clearly that she felt too young for a relationship or marriage and only wanted to raise the children.

Nick didn’t give up but was more tactful in his approach, being very considerate towards her as a friend and neighbor. Since they were always around each other, Gu Baobao couldn’t say much about it.

During the period when Lin Lin was missing, Nick also expressed his willingness to take care of them, but Gu Baobao refused.

The handsome Nick felt deeply hurt as if his eyes would pop out from his head.

"Don't you even have a bit of space in your heart for me" Nick asked sadly. His six-year love affair seemed about to be abandoned now, and if he didn’t let go, what could he do when she had a husband and children

In fact, if it were only him and Mo Chen competing, he wouldn't give up; he would fight until the end. But with the kids in the picture, Baobao valued them above everything else and would take their wishes into account, leaving his chances much slimmer.

He didn’t want to give up though.

"Nick, we are neighbors and friends," Gu Baobao said, which was how she had defined the relationship. Suddenly, Nick became agitated and waved his hands around, “I don't want to be your neighbor or friend, I…”

Seeing Gu Baobao’s eyes, Nick's temper subsided; what could he do Who made him fall in love with her anyway Pointing at the father-son trio playing over there, Nick asked, "Do you love him

Gu Baby thought about it and shook her head. Nick's dim eyes suddenly brightened, filled with surprise and joy, and he clapped his hands together in a very cute gesture, seeming to take pleasure in someone else’s misfortune or encouraging himself.

Gu Baby was at a loss for what to say. Nick originally thought that there was no way Gu Baby could easily fall in love with someone; she must have married him for the sake of their children. As long as Gu Baby didn’t love him, he wouldn’t pose such a threat temporarily.

"So did you marry him"

Gu Baby shook her head, "No."

Nick was furious, "He lied to me and said that you are his wife."

Gu Baby, "..."

Oddly enough, she didn’t hate the idea excessively. In fact, it seemed normal because Mo Chen did act like a husband when he was around them, serving them diligently. Whether or not he was her husband wasn't something she cared about.

All that mattered to her was whether Mo Chen could be kind to their children and bring them joy.

"When is he leaving"

Gu Baby replied, "I don’t know. He came here on his own."

Nick said, flexing his fists heroically, “A girl like you living alone at home should not have a man around. Get rid of him quickly.” “I can help you beat him away.”

Gu Baby, "……"

Why did you chase him away

Nick acted like a Saint Seiya warrior, waiting for his Athena to give orders. Gu Baby said, "He came over to keep the kids company. He can stay as long as he likes since it's not inconvenient and he’s quite nice and well-mannered."

"All men are beasts!" Nick declared; Lisha was too innocent to trust any man.

Gu Baby said, "You're a man too…"

"Oh, Lisha, please don’t remind me of this sad truth."

Gubaby,"……"

Sensen ran over in small steps with sweat on his head. His purple eyes seemed even more dazzling and bright under the sunlight, as if reflecting a ray of purplish light that exuded an aura of purity.

His appearance was delicate and adorable.

"Mommy, come play soccer with us," Sensen tugged at Gu Baby. Then he looked up to Nick and cheerfully asked, "Nick, do you want to play soccer with us"

Nick instinctively said no. Sensen made a disappointed face and pulled Gu Baby towards the little park. Nick regretted his decision; he should have agreed to go and kick the ball around so that he could spend more time with Lisha and the children, also observing the man's intentions.is own and found it seemed related to someone's life; however, he did not delve further out of fear of upsetting her.No matter the reason, it was comforting that Sensen could now speak again, even if...
