War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 359: She Stands on the Blank Space

Where did they all go?

All these years, it wasn’t that she hadn’t been torn, hadn’t thought about finding them, but because of Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xiaonian, she felt that the past wasn’t that important anymore.

People need to look forward.

She thought she was open-minded, but her mindset quickly wavered when she came into contact with people who might be from her past.

Her heart exceedingly longed to know about the past, and more so, to know who Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xiaonian’s father was.

She couldn’t stand seeing the longing and disappointment in their eyes every time they watched other families, fathers, and mothers happily playing with their children.

They were very considerate, never said anything, but it caused her heart-wrenching pain.

What exactly happened between her and their father, resulting in a five-year separation?

Perhaps the father of the children doesn’t even know of their existence yet.

There were too many things about the past she knew nothing about, and she despised this feeling.

Every time she tried to remember those things, her head felt like it was being pricked by needles, as if a hand was pulling her back, preventing her from crossing that barrier.

She stood in an empty place, looking at the memories obstructed by the barrier, unable to move forward.

She wandered alone, struggled alone, with no one to give her a hand.

She saw a photo in the news again.

The headline was, "Tang Family President passionately kisses a mysterious woman on a rainy night."

The photo wasn’t very clear, but the people were visible.

In the misty rain, on a quiet street, their figures intertwined; such a scene struck her eyes, making her heart tremble.

Through the untouchable screen, through the distant times, she seemed to sense the deep affection and attachment between the two back then.

This kind of sentiment cannot be faked.

Which means she and Tang Yuxiu really knew each other before and were lovers.

But why did he say nothing at today’s reunion after five years?

What exactly happened in between?

She couldn’t think of it, nor could she figure it out.

The noise outside had unknowingly stopped, and the two little ones opened her door, peeked in, and then ran in.

Gu Xiaonian took off her shoes and climbed onto her bed, and Gu Xiaobao stood by the bedside, looked at Gu Yan, and then at the computer screen.

It was still paused on the photo from the news five years ago, showing the kiss in the rain.

Gu Xiaobao leaned in and examined it for a while, then suddenly his eyes widened, "Mommy, that’s you and the handsome brother!"

Hearing Gu Xiaobao pointing at the photo and yelling, Gu Xiaonian also leaned in to look. With Gu Xiaobao’s reminder, Gu Xiaonian recognized the two people in the picture.

Her eyes got even wider than Gu Xiaobao’s, "Mommy, why are you kissing the handsome brother?"

Gu Yan, "..."

Gu Xiaobao looked at Gu Yan and asked, "Mommy, is this an old news photo?"

Having already seen the recent news about Tang Yuxiu, he hadn’t seen this, so it must be from before.

This "before" needed to trace back five years.

Because Mommy forgot everything five years ago, during which she didn’t know the handsome brother.

"Mommy, is the handsome brother really our dad?"

"What, the handsome brother is Daddy?!" Gu Xiaonian interrupted, exclaiming with surprise.

Gu Xiaobao ignored her, looking at Gu Yan with anticipation and nervousness.

Gu Yan lowered her eyes to look at him, reached out to touch his head, "Mommy can’t remember, but Mommy feels, he is very likely your dad."

He must be.

From the moment she saw him, feelings that didn’t belong to her ordinary self started to spread; only feelings of love in this world can’t be controlled or explained.

"Really?" Gu Xiaobao asked. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

He was very satisfied with Tang Yuxiu in his heart and very much hoped he was their biological father.

Gu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Xiaobao and Xiaonian, I’ll give you a task."

"What?"

"Mommy, you say it."

"Tomorrow, you have an appointment to go out with the handsome brother, Mommy has to work and can’t go with you, you need to find a way to get a strand of the handsome brother’s hair. We will do a DNA test, and once we have the DNA, there’s no need to think or investigate anymore."

Gu Xiaobao’s eyes lit up, "Right!"

He patted his little chest, "Okay! Mommy, I’ll definitely complete the task!"

Gu Xiaonian also leaned over, "Mommy mommy, I want to do it too."

"You complete it together with your brother."

Gu Xiaonian pouted, "He is not the brother; I am the sister."

Gu Yan smiled, "It’s already late. Babies, isn’t it time to sleep?"

The moment they heard about sleep, both of them pouted, "Mommy, we are happy today, let’s sleep a little later."

"No, children need to sleep early. Did you check the time today? It’s almost ten o’clock, if you don’t sleep now, what will you do? Do you still want to go out with the handsome brother tomorrow?"

"I want to!" What a silly question. He might be Daddy; how could they not want to!

"Then hurry and sleep. Mommy also has to get up early tomorrow to discuss things with others."

Before coming here, Gu Yan’s studio received a business deal. This time she came to discuss matters in person with the counterpart.

"Alright, Mommy, you’ve worked hard. We’ll go to sleep."

Gu Xiaobao wrapped his arms around Gu Yan’s arm, "Mommy, I want to sleep with you."

Gu Yan was about to speak when Gu Xiaobao climbed onto the bed, pulling Gu Xiaonian’s collar, dragging her off the bed, "Don’t disturb Mommy’s sleep, go back to your room and sleep by yourself. At your age, aren’t you embarrassed to still sleep with Mommy?"

"I’m only four, okay! I’m still a little cute child."

Gu Xiaobao rolled his eyes, "So cheeky at such a young age!"

"Gu Xiaobao, are you looking for a fight again!"

"Who likes to fight with you, you unreasonable little girl, I’m going to sleep, can’t be bothered with you."

"Let go of me!"

Gu Xiaobao didn’t let go and said to Gu Yan, "Mommy, go to sleep, good night."

"Goodnight, babies." Gu Yan said with a smile, watching Gu Xiaobao drag Gu Xiaonian out of the room.

Gu Xiaonian cried out for Mommy to save her, to teach Gu Xiaobao a lesson as she struggled.

Gu Yan just felt very happy.

It’s this sense of warmth from having the two kids at home.

Gu Yan stared at the photo on the computer screen for a long time before exiting the browser and closing the laptop.

Tang Yuxiu, what exactly happened between us?

Gu Yan lay on the bed, looking at the silver moonlight streaming in from the window, unable to sleep for a long time.

Only later did she realize that there’s a kind of love in this world, called silent words.

He didn’t want her to be distressed over past memories, so he was willing for her to forget forever.

The grand villa had no lights turned on.

In these years that Gu Yan had been gone, the villa hadn’t had the lights turned on again.

By day, he stayed at the company. Only at night did he come back, alone in the dark villa.

He was afraid of seeing any furnishings in the villa because every place here held memories of Gu Yan.
