"Shaocheng, how could you let Qianqian take Sheng Sheng to America? You didn’t even discuss it with me. Qianqian has no experience taking care of a child. She’s never been a mother. How can she take good care of Sheng Sheng?"

In the bathroom, Gu Shaocheng splashed water on his face, then opened the door and walked out, heading to the dressing room to change his clothes. He didn’t dare to meet her eyes, pretending to be indifferent: "Qianqian is grown up enough. She can take good care of Sheng Sheng."

"Did you pack enough clothes for Sheng Sheng? Only a few clothes are missing from the wardrobe, and there’s only one pair of shoes missing..." Chenxing continued to ramble.

Gu Shaocheng changed into a home jacket, buttoning up his shirt one button at a time: "You can buy clothes over there in America, so I didn’t pack them."

"But—"

Gu Shaocheng finally walked to Chenxing, pulled her hand, and sat down: "Alright, Qianqian said there’s a very reputable old professor in America who wants to take a Closed-door Disciple. It’s a rare opportunity, so I let Qianqian take Sheng Sheng over to try her luck. You don’t need to worry."

"But you should have told me, if I knew I could go with Sheng Sheng. How can Qianqian take good care of Sheng Sheng?" It’s her own child, only she can take care of him properly. How can any mother cope with her child being away from her side when Sheng Sheng is only five years old?

Gu Shaocheng’s gaze drifted slightly, "It’s just for a month, they’ll be back in a month, don’t worry, okay?" One month later, they wouldn’t be back. Gu Shaocheng felt a bit guilty and troubled, unsure how to comfort Chenxing.

Just take it one step at a time, keep it hidden as long as possible.

He only hoped he could firmly hold the position of president, and then tell Chenxing. That way, even if she found out the truth, it would be better than knowing now.

Gu Shaocheng softens his brows and pats her shoulder: "Take a bath, I’m a bit tired today."

Chenxing grumbled, continuing to complain about his actions, but still obediently went to take a bath. Then she went to Zun Zun’s room until he was asleep before returning to the bedroom to sleep with Gu Shaocheng.

Lying in bed, she couldn’t help but take out her phone: "No way, I need to call Qianqian, and check if Sheng Sheng has fallen asleep. Sheng Sheng is picky about where he sleeps."

Gu Shaocheng snatched the phone from her hand, hugged her, and turned off the bedside lamp: "Sleep, don’t worry unnecessarily. When you weren’t awake those two years, Qianqian often helped me take care of the child, without ever making mistakes."

"I want to call, I’m not at ease. The past is the past, now is now. Now Qianqian hasn’t taken care of young children. What if she’s careless?"

"Qianqian studied medicine. If she were careless, how could she dare perform surgery? Stop overthinking. Children should face challenges as they grow. The saying ’a doting mother raises a spoiled child’ is about someone like you." Gu Shaocheng, although worried inside, didn’t show it at all, instead pinching Chenxing’s cheek lightly, admonishing her.

Chenxing let out a soft hum.

......

"One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, Pleasant Goat, Beautiful Goat, Lazy Goat, Boiling Goat, Little Fat Sheep, Haidilao, sesame sauce, condiments, enoki mushrooms, shrimp paste, wide noodles, seaweed, bean sprouts, big conch, Chinese celery, spinach... dry beer, light refreshing, Yanjing... woo woo! I’m not sleeping!" Zun Zun rolled back and forth on the bed, hugging a pillow and wailing. How could he sleep without Sheng Sheng to hug?
