"Don’t cry, Chenxing." He cupped her face, "I’d rather you hit me than cry in front of me."

Chenxing shook her head, "I won’t hit you."

"If you hit me, I’d feel a little better inside. You shouldn’t hit me, shouldn’t make my heart feel relieved." Gu Shaocheng explained, and Chenxing didn’t know how to respond to him, "I’m sorry."

"No matter how many times you say sorry, it’s not going to bring my Sheng Sheng back, is it? So don’t say anything useless anymore." Chenxing looked sincerely at Gu Shaocheng: "I really resent you, do you know Sheng Sheng is half of my life?"

Gu Shaocheng was at a loss for words.

Chenxing hurriedly wiped her tears, "And you shouldn’t have kept it from me. You hid things from me so bitterly, made me think you’d already resolved the matter with the child. But in truth, not only did you not solve this big problem, you heartlessly sent Sheng Sheng away behind my back. Sheng Sheng will hate us, I didn’t even... even get to see him off, you’ve made me the most negligent mommy."

Chenxing’s voice was choked and somewhat hoarse, "How could you do this?"

She really wanted to hit him, wished to shoot him with a gun, or at least punch and kick him, give him a good beating. But she knew doing so would be pointless, and besides making both of them unhappy, would have no real effect.

Now she only hoped he could become president, let Sheng Sheng stay under his protection, if he truly couldn’t come back, if she had to accept reality, then this was the best outcome.

"Can I... can I go see Sheng Sheng? How much power does the president have? Can I take care of Sheng Sheng?" Chenxing tightly grasped Gu Shaocheng’s hand, eyes full of hope, "Since Sheng Sheng can’t come back, let me take care of Sheng Sheng, Shaocheng, please agree."

This was also the most important reason she urgently hoped Shaocheng could become president.

"Wait one more month, I’ll take you to see the child." Gu Shaocheng didn’t actually promise anything, looking at her deeper eyes, pressed her head to his chest, "Chenxing, I have great hopes for Sheng Sheng."

Chenxing took a deep breath, "That’s not a reason, I’ve read a lot of materials, children who were fostered by that place before..."

Chenxing didn’t continue, because she knew Gu Shaocheng understood.

"With me watching over him, he won’t become a bad kid." Gu Shaocheng certainly understood; that’s why he didn’t like sending Sheng Sheng away. But he thought, under his own wings, such worries wouldn’t become reality. He would gradually place his people inside, Sheng Sheng’s mentors, he would carefully choose, one in a thousand, and wouldn’t teach him to go bad. "On the contrary, he’ll become my most proud child."

"What about Zun Zun then?" Chenxing looked up, her heart still filled with worry.

"I’ll teach Zun Zun personally!" Gu Shaocheng hooked Chenxing’s lips, wanting to kiss her, but felt it wasn’t the right time or place, "Every son of mine, Young Master Gu, is one in ten thousand."

Chenxing lightly pushed him, "I don’t want my sons to be exceptional, I just want my children to grow up happily under my care."

"Too much motherly love leads to spoilage. What kind of child can you raise by yourself?" Gu Shaocheng’s words held no derision, but Chenxing was unhappy, pinched him hard, "I don’t care, I want to see Sheng Sheng, every month, no, every week, every day. I can’t let Sheng Sheng be without a mother’s love."
