Xu Han shamelessly got into Gu Yanqing's car and sat in the back with the young male lead, the two of them staring wide-eyed at each other.

Should she take this chance to raise his favorability?

Xu Han shamelessly decided that she absolutely could!

So Xu Han put on a smile that even she thought was fake. "Did you like those vegetable snacks just now?"

"They were delicious." Gu Mingyuan nodded hard, licked his lips as if savoring the taste, then looked up at Xu Han with his little face. "Where did you buy them, Auntie?"

"They weren't bought. Auntie grew the vegetables herself and made them."

"Wow." Admiration immediately appeared in the little guy's eyes. "Auntie, you're amazing."

As the male lead, Gu Mingyuan was good-looking and mixed-race, possessing an extra sort of charm that made him even cuter than most children. As he stared at her with those deep black eyes, the creepy auntie soul inside Xu Han screamed.

So cute! Ahhh, she really wanted to give him a squeeze.

Ahem.

"If you like them, Auntie will give you some to take home later."

Hopefully, now that you've eaten my food, you'll go easy on my son if you ever really end up butting heads with him.

Gu Mingyuan's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Auntie."

Gu Yanqing, who was driving in front, listened to their interaction with a faint smile in his eyes. For some reason, Qiao Wanqing—the woman who had used underhanded means to sleep with him for a night and demand that he take responsibility—really was completely different from the woman before him.

The one before him was much cuter.

Just then, Gu Yanqing's phone rang. Seeing that it was Wang Xiao, he did not avoid the others and directly turned on the car's Bluetooth speaker. "What is it?"

"Madam asked you to come back. Miss Tan is here."

Gu Yanqing: "..."

He subconsciously glanced at Xu Han through the rearview mirror, only to see that her expression had indeed stiffened.

Keeping his attention on the road, Gu Yanqing distractedly turned off the speakerphone, picked up his phone, and asked, "Why is she here?"

Xu Han had indeed frozen at Wang Xiao's words, but not because she cared about anything. It was because... upon hearing the words "Miss Tan," she finally remembered who Tan Yue was!

In the novel, among the older generation, Tan Yue's younger sister, Tan Xiao, liked Gu Yanqing. But since Gu Yanqing did not like her, nothing came of it. The Tan family had remained resentful over the matter, and Tan Yue later created plenty of obstacles in the male lead's career—though those were all merely experience points for the male lead's growth.

Since the author was not very good at writing business rivalry scenes, those events had not been described in much detail. In addition, Tan Yue belonged to the older generation of characters, so he had only been mentioned briefly. Xu Han had not remembered him right away.

The book seemed to say that Miss Tan was not easy to deal with. She had high IQ and EQ, unlike Qiao Wanqing, a brainless supporting female character who only knew how to make unreasonable trouble and could be dismissed with a single finger. Miss Tan had once given Gu Yanqing quite a headache.

Thus, Xu Han rubbed her hands together excitedly. Gu Yanqing was about to hit a wall!

After Gu Yanqing finished his call, Xu Han suppressed her inner delight and said in as calm a tone as possible, even carrying a hint of faint sorrow, "If you have something to do, go ahead."

Gu Yanqing tossed his phone aside. "What? Are you trying to use this as an excuse to skip a meal?"

"...How could that be? Haven't you mooched enough food and drinks at my house already?"

"So mooching one more meal won't make a difference."

Xu Han: "..."

Where was his dignity?

Was this really the Gu Yanqing she knew? Since he was already over fifty in the novel, she remembered his description there: reserved and steady, sharp and perceptive, with the desire for control unique to successful men. That was why he and the male lead often clashed.

But this Gu Yanqing was clearly developing in the direction of being shameless.

Hey, President Gu, you've lost your character setting!

When they arrived, Gu Yanqing went to park the car and let Xu Han and the others out first.

Winter skies darkened especially quickly, and today was overcast as well. It was not even five yet, but night had already fallen outside. The streetlights were on, traffic flowed endlessly, and the streets buzzed with noise.

Compared to Dongyang Village, where all sounds fell silent after nightfall, it was practically another world.

This little country bumpkin, Koukou, was entering the city for the first time. At the airport, he had been half asleep and then distracted by Tang Yueyue, leaving him no time to look at the surrounding scenery.

Now that night had just fallen, Koukou was thrilled beyond measure. His way of expressing excitement was very direct: kicking his feet, waving his hands, and drooling. Though Koukou was still small, he was quite strong. Xu Han held him for only a short while before becoming tired.

"If you keep kicking, Mommy will throw you away." Xu Han deliberately put on a stern face as she scolded Koukou.

Koukou thought Xu Han was playing with him, so he became even happier, flailing his arms and legs in her embrace.

The little bean-sprout male lead tugged at her clothes and asked innocently, "Little brother is so cute. Why would you throw him away?"

Xu Han: "..."

Her heart was so tired.

Gu Yanqing parked the car and came over first. Seeing her frown as she held Koukou, looking utterly drained, he said, "Let me."

Xu Han hurriedly tossed the child to him. Anyway, holding him once was the same as holding him twice. She had already given up struggling.

Everything would be fine once she left this place, she comforted herself.

Then she would put on a masterful performance of turning her back on him, and Gu Yanqing could not exactly eat her.

Hmph. That was just how shameless she was.

Tang Yueyue parked her car and came over as well. From afar just now, the four of them had really looked like a family of four. The man was handsome, the woman beautiful, and the two children adorable. They were a perfect match, with no sense of discord at all, drawing frequent glances from many people nearby.

She remembered her best friend telling her that Gu Yanqing had always been cold toward her and even seemed to dislike her very much. So what was going on now? Was she hallucinating?

Gu Yanqing did not look like he disliked her at all. Had he really compromised for the children?
