because he seemed to think that Mo Baixue hadn't completely lost it.The man sounded puzzled, yet his voice was cold and hoarse: "Why do you always call me brother"Mo Baixue paused for a moment, then g...922
Mu Chen didn't answer Avril's question, but his heart was a tangled mess. Did he love the baby of his imagination or the one standing before him now Could even he tell
He wasn’t sure about that either, all he knew was that he had liked this girl for many years and continued to do so.
Having loved her for such a long time, he couldn't let go of her. How could he possibly give up when they now had three precious children For him, it wasn’t a question of love or not; it was about both love and responsibility.
Mu Chen himself couldn’t tell if his sense of duty outweighed his love. The only thing clear to him was that he loved Gu Baby.
He had loved her since childhood.
"Mu Chen, I can forgive you this time," Avril said calmly. "I must admit, you are quite charming and make a great lover. I would have been willing to give our relationship a try if not for the mix-up with Gu Baby. Since it’s all sorted out now, I am willing to overlook your mistake. Gu Baby is the person I love most in this life, as are our three precious children. I don’t want her or them to be uncomfortable. Instead of wanting your love, I’d prefer a peaceful and harmonious relationship with Baby and the kids. Fortunately, my feelings for you aren't too deep; you told me just in time, so there was no real harm done. However, if you hurt Baby and the children later on, I won’t forgive you. Furthermore, I’ll make sure your life isn’t easy."
Avril was a strong-willed girl who could handle any situation with grace and reason. Despite Mu Chen's mistake in mistaking someone else for her, she didn't feel sad about it; after all, mistakes can be corrected.
But did Mu Chen truly love Gu Baby
"What exactly happened during your time at Milan University" Avril asked seriously.
Mu Chen didn't intend to hide from Avril what had happened between him and Gu Baobao, so he told her everything. Avril frowned, her cold smile turning even colder as she looked at Mu Chen. Mu Chen sidestepped the issue, saying that there wasn't much for Avril to know anyway. Naturally, this led to more misunderstandings about Mu Chen, which was exactly what he wanted. Gu Baobao shouldered most of the blame for the child's conception, but Mu Chen didn't want to say anything.
Since Avril already thought he was irresponsible, then let him be thoroughly irresponsible.
"You didn’t recognize her after she pursued you like that" Avril asked in disbelief. Even Mu Chen felt a bit guilty answering this question himself; he hadn't recognized her because Gu Baobao at the time had been so lacking.
He couldn’t be blamed for that, could he
"If what you say is true and you only knew Gu Baobao when she was still a child, an eleven-year-old girl, even if you were mature back then and understood love, I don't get it. What did you fall in love with about her Maybe all you fell in love with was the feeling rather than the person herself. Otherwise, how come you didn’t recognize her later on Mu Chen, I hope that you will think clearly before you hurt Baby."
Since Avril wasn't blaming him and was easily forgiving him, Mu Chen naturally felt relaxed too as he said with a smile, "Avril, do you really think I would hurt her Gu Baobao doesn’t have any feelings for me. If she kept clinging to me, maybe she’d even help us."
"Of course." Avril was at a loss whether to laugh or cry as she said, "That’s why I’m stepping down and letting you two be together. It had nothing to do with me anyway; it’s just a pity. Mu Chen, let me give you one piece of advice: getting Baby's heart isn’t an easy thing."
"I know, she’s too hard to pursue." Mu Chen smiled bitterly. If it were another girl, he would have long been successful with his efforts, but Gu Baobao was a special case—he didn't even know how to go about it.
Avril found Gu Baobao on the second floor; she had already drunk two cups of coffee. Gu Baobao smiled and said, "Sis, are you done talking"
"You’re really ruthless, making him come right away like that. Why didn’t you let me have more time to dream" Avril glared at her, raising a hand as if she were going to hit her. Gu Baobao laughed softly and calmly, with a hint of mischief.
"Sis, if it's something wrong to begin with, why continue being wrong. Besides, haven't you always been worried about him and wanting to know his whereabouts I'm thinking of you," Gu Baobao said confidently.
"Don't give me that." Avril sat down and looked at Gu Baobao seriously; she understood her, honestly saying that over the years she could only understand half of Gu Baobao and rarely saw the whole picture.
She had asked Mo Chen to come, indeed with her well-being in mind, wanting this mistake to stop decisively.
But did Gu Baobao truly have no feelings for Mo Chen at all Avril couldn't help but contemplate it; she loved Gu Baobao dearly and treated her as a younger sister from childhood. She raised three children who were like her own offspring, prioritizing their happiness above everything else. This time of firm withdrawal actually hurt her deeply because she loved Mo Chen, though not profoundly known to others, she was already very much entangled in it. However, there was no choice; for the sake of the children, she had to let go of Mo Chen, otherwise their identities would be awkward and none of them would have an easy time.
She was a sensible girl who didn't do pointless things, and besides, Mo Chen said he loved her not her but Gu Baobao; it was just a case of mistaken identity.
Although somewhat regretful as she was the second man to stir her heart deeply,
if Gu Baobao and Mo Chen had no children, perhaps today she would fight for her love. But with the existence of these three children, everything would be different.
She didn't want to compete either.
"Baobao, what are your thoughts" Avril asked, "Do you believe Mo Chen when he says he likes you"
Baobao shook her head, "What does he like about me He doesn’t even know who I am. I don't believe in love at first sight. The person he liked was the little Gu Baobao from ten years ago; things have changed a lot since then. Besides, what's teenage infatuation worth He probably didn't even realize it himself back then."
"Then what do you think"
"For the sake of the child, try to get along with him. If they can love each other, that would be best; if not, there's no need to force it." Gu Babu said this clearly without any hesitation.
Avril frowned, "Are you sure you don't have any feelings for him now" She found it hard to believe because when Gu Babu was making the phone call earlier, she had a few small movements that indicated her anger—maybe even she herself didn't realize that she was angry.
The reason why she was angry was worth pondering over.
Gu Babu shook her head and said, "I think Nick is cuter."
Avril: "..."
Morning Mo, you'll have to rely on your own luck.
The person who falls in love with Gu Babu really needs a lot of courage.
I will add more chapters later; the next chapter is about the wedding. sign of light.However, something surprising happened. When he was lying on the track field waiting for her, she appeared at five in the morning as well, saying that she wanted to train herself by run...
