Chapter 288: Chapter 288: There’s Still a Little Treasure

Gong Xiaoqiao clenched her fists tightly, pressing them against her chest, as if her entire heart had been hollowed out.

That expression made even Gu Zhenhong unable to restrain his emotions, "You..."

Even with such heartache, her gaze never fell on the child, to say nothing of her eyes; there was nothing in them, no one at all.

Ever since just now, Gu’s mother had noticed something was off about Xiaoqiao’s vacant expression and, worried, waved her hand in front of her eyes, only to become utterly shocked, "Child, your eyes..."

The couple stood frozen in place, watching as she was helped away by Mu WuXie, walking farther and farther until she disappeared.

At this moment, their mood was indescribably heavy...

"Did we... do something wrong? Maybe, we shouldn’t have pressured Hangshen..."

Gu Zhenhua patted his wife’s shoulder, "What’s done is done, and the wedding is about to start! After all, it was because of our Gu Family that Hannian suffered such a calamity! How can we as elders shirk responsibility for making decisions!"

Gu’s mother nodded, looking at the child still crying in her arms, her eyes also becoming moist, "But still, let’s not make things difficult for that child anymore! She might speak harshly, but which mother can bear to give her own child away!

She’s only doing this because she can’t see, and on top of that, she’s wanted! Actually, I’ve always had trouble believing she is the culprit behind Hannian’s harm. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone back to save others, and those eyes of hers would probably be..."

Gu’s mother didn’t finish her sentence when hurried footsteps came from behind.

The next moment, turning around, they saw Gu Hangshen kneeling down before them.

"Dad, Mom, I’m sorry for going against your wishes time and time again. But I really can’t marry her! If I must atone, I can stay unmarried for life!"

Gu Zhenhua said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking! If you stay unmarried for life, won’t the Wen Ren family come to an end!"

Gu’s mother glanced at the child in her arms, "And there’s little treasure here!"

"Then... then you can’t stay unmarried for life!" Gu Zhenhua coughed softly.

Gu Hangshen slightly lifted his head, finally noticing the child in Gu’s mother’s arms.

With just one glance, that indescribable, strange sensation...

"Although you and Xiaoqiao are divorced, this child is still your flesh and blood," said Gu’s mother, and then hugged the child dearly in her arms, "If you don’t like him, Mom will take care of him! You don’t need to worry!"

Gu Hangshen’s expression was utterly vacant at that moment, for he had no idea what face to put on, "The child...?"

Gu Zhenhua quickly said, "This... this child has nothing to do with you! Just get to the church!"

From behind, Shen Letian walked over leisurely, spare no effort in undermining the situation, "Ahem, Uncle Gu! Anyone with eyes can tell just by looking at the kid’s face, saying he’s got nothing to do with big brother is completely unbelievable!"

"You brat!" Gu Zhenhua was speechless with frustration.

Seeing Gu Hangshen’s gaze fixed on the child, Gu’s mother glanced at him, somewhat reluctantly bringing the child closer to him, but as soon as she came near she smelled the suffocating odor of smoke and alcohol on him, and immediately drew back a good distance, her face full of disdain, "Go take a shower before you can hold him!"

No sooner had she spoken than Gu Hangshen had already dashed off without a trace.

Leng Tou looked at his watch and counted, "...5, 4, 3, 2, 1."

As expected, Gu Hangshen hadn’t been gone long before he ran back gasping for air, "Where’s Xiaoqiao?"
