Gu Wan shook her head and stopped Gu Yanran from continuing. "It's okay. Let me be alone for a while."
"Mhm, don't feel too bad, sister. Let's just let nature take its course. It's already afternoon, I'll go make your favorite dishes." After speaking, Gu Yanran stood up and took the dishes to the kitchen.
Gu Wan sat on the sofa alone. That day, she felt cold all over.
It was the kind of feeling that one day, you suddenly found out that the person you loved the most, the father of your child, had another child outside. This kind of feeling was really unprecedented.
When she actually made a table full of dishes and called Gu Wan over, she didn't have much of an appetite. She picked up some with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, but it was like chewing wax. She couldn't swallow it at all.
At night, the two children were clamoring to find their mother, but Gu Wan was still at Gu Yanran's place. The housekeeper and nanny quickly called Gu Wan.
Gu Wan nodded and drove home in a daze. When she saw the two children running toward her, the one she saw during the day still appeared in her mind.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Gong Mohan originally went to Country C to contact Su Jiancheng.
However, in the first few days, Su Jiancheng kept declining, saying that the child's condition had worsened and was being treated. Now that outsiders couldn't see him, Gong Mohan could only wait.
Finally, after a few days, Gong Mohan really lost his patience. He directly rushed to Su Jiancheng's house and told Su Jiancheng to find a way to let him see the child no matter what. Otherwise, he would only think that they were lying.
"I say, why don't you have any patience at all? Ten years have passed. Are you still worried about these few days?"
In the face of such an anxious Gong Mohan, Su Jiancheng still looked unhurried.
"I told you to hurry up, so hurry up. You better not challenge my bottom line, and you better not lie to me. Otherwise, I won't let you go."
Perhaps in the past, Gong Mohan's strength and foundation weren't stable, so he couldn't touch the Su Family.
But now, he is different. If this servant really angers him, he really can't guarantee what he will do.
Su Jiancheng understood this point. He extended his hand and made a calm gesture to Gong Mohan.
Then he made a phone call. After giving a few simple instructions, Su Jiancheng put down the phone and said, "Xiao Rou has brought the child back. Wait for a few more minutes. They should be here soon."
Gong Mohan nodded and didn't make things difficult for Su Jiancheng.
Actually, when Gong Mohan came to Country C, Su Xiaorou had already brought the child to the country.
This was the so-called luring the tiger away from the mountain. She lured Gong Mohan to Country C. Then, she let Gu Wan see the child by accident, and then brought the child back to Country C. Everything was logical.
In the next few minutes, Gong Mohan became more and more impatient.
It could even be said that he was a little nervous.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Grandpa, hurry up and open the door. I'm back."
Gong Mohan heard a childish voice. When he heard this voice, Gong Mohan's heart started to feel inexplicably nervous.
When Su Jiancheng stood up and opened the door, the child rushed in. Gong Mohan also felt like he was about to suffocate.
Tongtong and Gong Mohan looked at each other. Both of them were stunned.
It was as if they were both saying in their hearts, "How could there be someone who looks so similar to me?"
Su Jiancheng and Su Xiaorou, who were standing at the side, looked at each other. When they saw the incredulous expression on Gong Mohan's face, they revealed a triumphant smile.
"Mommy, who is that uncle?" Tongtong hurriedly ran to stand behind Su Xiaorou and asked carefully.
He blinked his small eyes, his gaze filled with eagerness.
"He … He is your father." Su Xiaorou hesitated for a moment, then squatted down and said in front of Tongtong.
When she heard this news, an obvious light flashed in Tongtong's eyes, but she still didn't run over to Gong Mohan.
At first, Gong Mohan suspected that Su Jiancheng and his daughter were up to something, but when he saw the child's appearance, all his doubts disappeared in an instant.
Looking at the child's pale face and the hair that was missing after chemotherapy, Gong Mohan suddenly felt a little sour in his heart.
A feeling of guilt arose spontaneously in his heart.
This was Gong Mohan's child, there was no way he could be wrong.
The space between his eyebrows and his facial features were too similar to him, making it impossible for anyone to doubt his identity.
Gong Mohan waved at Tongtong, and his entire expression became gentle. "Come here, come to Daddy."
Hearing Gong Mohan's call, Tongtong turned her head to look at Su Xiaorou, as if asking for Su Xiaorou's opinion. It wasn't until Su Xiaorou nodded that Tongtong hesitantly walked over to Gong Mohan step by step.
When Gong Mohan stretched out his hand to touch the child, he thought that he would feel a sense of kinship, just like how he felt when he first saw Little Fishy. The moment he touched the child, he knew that it was his child, and he felt an inexplicable sense of closeness.
However, when Gong Mohan touched Tongtong, it was very ordinary. He didn't feel anything, as if the child in front of him had nothing to do with him except for his appearance.
For a moment, Gong Mohan suddenly hesitated.
However, he also thought that it might be his illusion. After all, it had been 10 years, from the birth of this child until now, he didn't even know of his existence.
That was why there was this strange feeling.
"Are you really my Daddy? Mommy said that you were sick. Have you recovered from your illness? Is she like Tongtong? Will she become ugly and lose all her hair when she gets sick? "
Tongtong, who had an innocent look on her face, asked in a childish voice in front of Gong Mohan.
Gong Mohan reached out to take the hat off Tongtong's head. Tongtong was already bald, which made Gong Mohan feel a ghastly feeling.
An inexplicable sense of guilt emerged in his heart.
Perhaps he really wasn't a competent father.
He nodded in front of Tongtong. "Daddy has recovered from his illness, and Tongtong will also recover. Tongtong's hair will grow back one day."
"Why didn't you tell me the truth in the beginning?" Gong Mohan's tone of questioning was very displeased in front of Su Jiancheng and Su Xiaorou.
"I'm sorry, this is my own decision. I know that it's impossible between us. Perhaps you don't have that kind of feelings for me, so I don't want to force anything from you."
Su Xiaorou lowered her head stubbornly.
When her eyes met Gong Mohan's, Gong Mohan also didn't know what to say.
After all, at this point in time, he couldn't tell Su Xiaorou that in fact, he had already set his heart on her from the beginning.
This would be irresponsible to Gu Wan.
Gong Mohan definitely wouldn't let this happen.
Su Jiancheng, who was sitting by the side with a recording pen in his hand, was a little anxious. Why was Gong Mohan still unwilling to tell Su Xiaorou about his feelings for so long?
Su Xiaorou suddenly raised her head and asked with tears in her eyes, "If I hadn't left back then, would you have planned to further our relationship?"
"I …"
Hearing this question from Su Xiaorou, Gong Mohan didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Then Su Xiaorou continued to ask, "Mohan, did you really not have any feelings for me back then? Did we not have any feelings for each other?"
At this point, Su Xiaorou's face was already covered with tears.
"Do you know that when I left back then, as long as you asked me to stay, I would definitely stay? But from the time I said that I wanted to leave until I really left, you didn't say anything. You didn't do anything. In my opinion, you had already tacitly agreed, so I had no other choice."
Listening to what Su Xiaorou said, Gong Mohan's throat tightened. For a moment, he also reflected on himself.
What exactly were his feelings for Su Xiaorou? Even now, he was a little unclear.
The reason why he made the decision to spend the rest of his life with Su Xiaorou was probably because he had lived with Su Xiaorou for a long time and regarded her as his own family, a part of him that couldn't be separated from him.
But speaking of love. It seemed that he didn't have the same feelings for Su Xiaorou as he did for Gu Wan.
In the end, Gong Mohan still shook his head.
"I'm sorry."
When Su Xiaorou heard Gong Mohan's negative answer, all the hope that she had originally held was shattered at this moment.
Originally, she was almost sure that Gong Mohan must have had feelings for her back then, but that was because Gong Mohan was reluctant to confess to her.
She thought that Gong Mohan was a little shy and quiet, so he didn't say it.
But later, after knowing that Gong Mohan had a terminal illness, it didn't seem so important whether Gong Mohan confessed to her or not.
But recently, she heard that Gong Mohan's heart disease had been completely cured. Naturally, Su Xiaorou had some regrets.
After all, a man as outstanding as Gong Mohan was a man that many people dreamed of having.
Moreover, in Su Xiaorou's view, no one could stand beside Gong Mohan and work hand in hand with him except herself.
Other women were just vases for Gong Mohan. Only Su Xiaorou had the ability to help Gong Mohan, and her figure and appearance were not worse than anyone else's.
A man like Gong Mohan could only stand beside a woman like Su Xiaorou.
"So, all of this is just my own wishful thinking, right?" Su Xiaorou took a step back in disbelief, and her eyebrows were stained with a sorrowful aura.
"Maybe before I met Gu Wan, I really thought that I might have feelings for you, but after meeting Gu Wan, I think that the real love should be between me and Gu Wan."
Gong Mohan still looked indifferent when facing Su Xiaorou.
His tone was devoid of any emotion as he spoke in front of her.
