Chapter 208: Chapter 208: How to Accept Him_1

That "Mom" even carried a deliberate attempt to please, positioning herself at her lowest, suppressing all dignity and grievance.

Gu Hangshen looked at her with a face full of shock, unable to describe his feelings at the moment!

When she had said earlier she wanted some quiet alone time, he had almost thought she was going to run away and disappear again. And just a moment ago, in the face of what his parents had said, he thought he was truly going to lose her this time. Unexpectedly, what he got was her compromise and desperate attempt to please.

Gu’s mother, upon hearing her say this, immediately relaxed her brows and looked at her with a warmer expression, "Good child!"

Gu’s father just snorted coldly, thinking that this woman was obviously being so submissive just to keep her position as Mrs. Gu.

"I know you both are busy, the child won’t be any trouble for you, we will help take care of him!" Gu’s mother said.

Gu Hangshen withdrew his gaze that had been glued to Gong Xiaoqiao, "Mom, we will hire a nanny for the child! Dad has heart disease, and you’re also not in good health, I worry it will be too taxing for you both!"

He could not let them take away the child before the matter was investigated.

"How can we be at ease if we leave it to you! I can’t bear to see my precious grandson suffer!" Gu’s father said with an underlying intention, throwing a glance at Gong Xiaoqiao.

Gu’s mother directly ignored the targeted implication in Gu’s father’s tone, "What your father says makes sense, too. Nannies are not as devoted as family! Especially when the child is still so young! Unless Xiaoqiao can give up work..."

"Let her take care, I trust her even less!" Gu’s father interjected.

Give up work...

At this, Gong Xiaoqiao’s expression finally showed a hint of disturbance.

In the end, Gu Hangshen still compromised, "Alright!"

In the end, the matter was settled.

After Gu’s parents left, the house suddenly became quiet.

Gu Hangshen took a few steps closer, wanting to approach her, but she moved to the sofa, avoiding him.

He immediately moved closer again, "Wife..."

"Gu Hangshen, I want some quiet time alone," she said with a slight frown, repeating her earlier words.

Gu Hangshen looked somewhat dejected, "Now the evidence is conclusive, I know I have no defense! That you can do this much for me already satisfies me. I will give you time, and I ask you to give me time to investigate the matter thoroughly. Before I can give you an explanation, please don’t give up on me so easily..."

"Okay?" He searched earnestly for her gaze, waiting for her answer.

Finally, Gong Xiaoqiao slowly lifted her lowered gaze to his. Although she didn’t speak, he knew he had been given a promise.

She didn’t know how long she would have to wait for this explanation, and the days started to drag on.

Gong Xiaoqiao threw herself into acting, scheduling nearly all her time fully.

Perhaps because her state of mind during this time ironically coincided with that of the female protagonist in the drama, Gong Xiaoqiao portrayed Shangguan Xianyue with even more intensity.

In Jinmulin’s words, a single look from those small eyes immediately made one feel a chilly breeze whistling around oneself, burrowing into the heart with a piercing, bloodthirsty sharpness! Too incisive!

Gu Hangshen returned to his routine of late nights and early mornings, showing even more care and consideration for her.

She also began to ponder what she would do in the future, how to face this child, how to accept him, and how to interact with him.

If his biological mother were to come looking for him in the future, how should she handle it? And later on, if he grew up knowing that his real mother was not her but someone she had driven away, how would she explain then...
