Gu Yanqing: "..."

"Just a coincidence." Gu Yanqing teased, glancing at Mrs. Gu's browsing history as well. He planned to have someone delete it immediately later.

For the time being, he had no intention of telling Mrs. Gu about Koukou's existence. If she learned she had a grandson living out there somewhere, who knew what she might do.

Since he had chosen to respect Qiao Wanqing's wishes and let her raise the child, he would try to minimize any trouble this might cause her until he found a better solution.

"Of course I know it's a coincidence, but this child really is lovely. He's quite cute. I'd be very happy if he were my grandson."

Gu Yanqing knew Mrs. Gu was testing him, so he replied without changing expression, "Since you like him, I'll have someone investigate who he is later and ask his mother whether he needs a father and grandmother."

Mrs. Gu: "..."

"You, honestly, how can you talk like that?" Mrs. Gu put away her phone and said, "You're not getting any younger. Are you really not planning to hurry up and give me a grandson?"

"You don't like Yuanyuan?"

"I do like him, but he isn't one of our family's children, after all."

"It's fine. Until our family has a child of its own, you can watch him to satisfy your craving first."

"..." Mrs. Gu was so angry she nearly coughed up blood. "What, is it really that hard for you to get married and have a child? Or do you... actually not have the ability?"

His masculine dignity questioned, Gu Yanqing's face immediately darkened. "Mom, don't make wild guesses."

"Fine. Tomorrow, I've arranged to have a meal with the young lady from the Tan family. If you find another excuse to skip it, don't call me Mom anymore."

Gu Yanqing said, "I booked a ticket back to C City early tomorrow morning. There's a lot going on there, and I've already been away for four days. I need to get back and handle it."

"Then refund it. I've said what I needed to say, so figure it out yourself." With that, Mrs. Gu picked up her phone and marched upstairs.

Gu Yanqing rubbed his forehead with a headache.

Though he was no longer young, he was someone who believed in feelings. When it came to love, there was no such thing as a suitable match. Over the years, quite a few good women had appeared around him, but President Gu's heart remained as still as water. Now that he was already thirty, he still had no desire to find a suitable woman to spend the rest of his life with.

And the older he got, the less he cared about such things. He had even thought that if he never met the right person, spending his whole life single would not be bad either.

After all, he already had a son.

He had known this Miss Tan when they were young. In his memory, she was a very clever girl.

But President Gu had unusual tastes—he liked them a little foolish.

Ahem.

On the third day, Xu Han was finally able to go home. She swiftly packed her things and rushed to the airport.

To her surprise, someone recognized her at the airport. She was the heroine of yesterday's hot news, the woman everyone had been discussing, and people had specifically come over to stare at her.

Xu Han got a taste of a celebrity's mixed blessings and felt unbearably awkward. She quickly bought a mask to cover her face, then pulled Koukou's little hat down as well so no one would see him.

After finally making her way home, Xu Han felt the warmth of home for the first time. Even the chickens that pooped all over the yard looked so cute and lovable.

Yellow Immortal was overjoyed to see her back and circled around her several times. Xu Han smiled and reached out to rub his soft fur, while Koukou copied her and grabbed his fluffy tail.

Over this period, Koukou and Yellow Immortal had also built a "deep" friendship. Koukou especially loved tugging on Yellow Immortal's tail and ears, and children had no sense of restraint when they used their hands.

Yellow Immortal was a little proud with everyone else. Even Xu Han, his owner, would make him angry if she petted him too much, yet he was especially tolerant of Koukou and let him knead and tug at him as he pleased.

Yellow Immortal was also quite smart and good at learning simple human skills, such as tucking a child in, fetching things, and opening and closing doors. Xu Han liked him very much.

After all, he was another source of labor.

Once Koukou and Yellow Immortal had calmed down, Xu Han took out a bag of dried chicken breast from her bag and tossed him a few pieces. Yellow Immortal ran off happily with the chicken breast in his mouth.

Grandma Qiao had not seen Koukou for two days and missed him terribly. The moment Xu Han returned, she hugged her grandson and could not bear to let go. Xu Han asked her, "Nothing happened at home these past two days, right?"

"Nothing," Grandma Qiao said hesitantly. "There is something, though. I wanted to ask your opinion."

Xu Han said, "Hm? What is it?"

"Do you remember Jianfeng, the pork seller in the village? Yesterday, he told me that a friend of his knew a young man. He's quite handsome, his family's in good shape, he bought a house in our C City, and his car cost over two hundred thousand. His wife died in a car accident not long after marrying him. He has no children himself and doesn't mind having one more, so he asked me to ask you..."

Xu Han: "..."

What was this nonsense?

Xu Han had been away for many years, then suddenly returned with a small child by her side. Relationships in the village were not as indifferent as those in the city. People saw each other coming and going, so curiosity was unavoidable.

Whenever anyone asked, Xu Han used the same story she had told Aunt Li: her husband had cheated while she was pregnant, so they divorced.

Gradually, quite a few people learned that Xu Han, this great beauty, was a young divorcee with a child. Whenever they had too much time on their hands, they could not help gossiping about her.

But Xu Han had thick skin. She had nothing to do with them anyway. They could say whatever they wanted, as long as they did not say it to her face.

But now people were even trying to set her up. Xu Han was both angry and helpless. Did she look like someone desperate to get married?

And a car worth over two hundred thousand was so impressive that it had to be emphasized???

Xu Han said, "Grandma, I'm not looking for anyone for now. Tell them not to waste their energy on me. I won't be grateful for it. If something like this comes up again, just refuse directly."

Grandma Qiao knew Xu Han definitely would not be looking for anyone for the time being, but since the other party had asked, she felt it would not be right not to tell Xu Han. She nodded, hesitated for a moment, then asked, "You and Mr. Gu, are you..."
