Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Want Nothing

"Big brother, come back to the country with me tomorrow! Bring the child with us."

"Return to the country? With the child?"

"Yes, I need to go to the Gu Family."

"What do you want to do?" Mu WuXie’s expression became somewhat troubled, but he still decided to tell her, "Gu Hangshen and Gong Hannian’s wedding is in three days! It’s probably... too late now."

"That’s good," she replied.

"Good?"

He didn’t know what she wanted to do, but helping her do what she wanted to do was the only thing he could do now.

As long as it was something he could do, he would not refuse.

In the end, he relented, and as per her wishes, he took her and the child to the Gu Family.

Fortunately, she couldn’t see, couldn’t see how the Gu Family home was plastered with wedding happiness characters and decorated with festive lights.

Mu WuXie timed it very precisely, arriving just a short while before the Gu Family elders emerged from the house, ready to head to the church for the wedding.

"Please wait," Mu WuXie called out.

The two people, about to get into the car, couldn’t help but look toward the source of the voice, and upon seeing the woman beside Mu WuXie, both were utterly astounded.

Gu’s father was instantly furious, "You heartless and vicious woman! How dare you show your face here! Quick! Call the police!"

Gu’s mother hastily restrained him, "Zhenhong, wait a moment!"

Mu WuXie, after much hesitation, still followed Xiaoqiao’s request and walked forward with the child in his arms.

For a moment, both elders were simultaneously captivated by the child in his embrace.

"How... how is this child..." Gu’s mother was full of surprise.

"This is Gu Hangshen’s son," said Gong Xiaoqiao, her face expressionless.

"What... what did you say?"

"Of course, if you don’t believe me, you can go ask Gu Hangshen; he wouldn’t be unaware of his own actions."

"Speak! What is your purpose?" Gu Zhenhong quickly regained his composure, watching her warily.

"I won’t want anything from your Gu Family, including... this child."

Gu Zhenhong’s face suddenly stiffened.

Xiaoqiao curled her lips, "Originally... I wanted to kill him."

Gu Zhenhong’s color drained from his face, and he immediately snatched the child from Mu WuXie’s arms, "You... you dare! How could you be so evil! To not even spare your own flesh and blood! Let me tell you, this is the Gu Family’s flesh and blood! I’d fight to the death before I’d let you harm him!"

"Yes, Xiaoqiao, how can you say such a thing? Even if Hangshen is now with Hannian, that’s because you didn’t cherish him properly.

But, thankfully, in the end, you came to your senses and saved Hannian. Auntie knows you’re not inherently bad, so please don’t say such angry words! No matter what, the child is innocent!" Gu’s mother quickly agreed, carefully watching the child, with a tender expression on her face.

"Is that so?" Xiaoqiao’s face showed a trace of relief, "With those words from you, I’m at ease. After all, in this world, only you can protect him now!"

"What... do you mean?"

Both husband and wife were puzzled.

"Big brother, let’s go."

At that moment, the baby seemed to sense something, squirming his little hands and feet, his small face scrunching up as he woke from his slumber and suddenly began to cry loudly.

Her steps were rooted to the spot by the crying, unable to move.

Mu WuXie, his heart aching, wiped away the tears she couldn’t hold back on her cheeks, "Are you really not going to hold him one last time?"

So I... cried?

Even if one can suppress the look of heart-wrenching sorrow, even if one can pretend with words, the tears that well up from the depths of the heart surge uncontrollably, breaching all defenses...
