nally going to cook dinner for them, but Huo Shaoting sent her to rest in the end. She was helpless: "I'm just pregnant, I'm not that fragile!"Ho Shao-ting hugged her waist and whispered, "I don't kno...At that moment, a bolt of lightning slashed across the sky.

Their faces were laid bare, every expression revealed, nothing left to hide.

Gu Yunan saw the struggle in her eyes.

And Li Siqi also saw the desire in his eyes, like this rainstorm, like this dark night... endless.

After an unknown amount of time, he walked toward her.

He didn't speak to her, just patted the little thing in her arms.

Gu Siqi called out softly, "Dad!"

Gu Yunfan smiled slightly, glanced at Li Siqi again, then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and closed the window that wasn't shut tight. Then, turning back, he whispered, "Siqi's bed is small, sleep in the guest room!"

Li Siqi remained silent.

Gu Siqi was unhappy: "I don't want to sleep in the guest room! I want to sleep in Dad's big bed... I'll sleep with Teacher Li."

She also arranged a place for Gu Yunfan: "Dad sleeps in my small bed."

How could Li Siqi possibly agree

But men all have their weaknesses, how could Gu Yunfan let this pass He smiled lightly at Li Siqi, deliberately asking: "Teacher Li, what do you think"

He walked back to her side and in a voice only she could hear, murmured, “My bed is big and soft! It’s so comfortable.”

He was clearly trying to tempt her.

This made her involuntarily recall the past, remembering when she was drenched in sweat, her body deeply sunk into the soft bed, and a man held her hand tightly. In that repeated act of forceful possession, she lost herself.

She didn't want to think about it, but her thoughts were like wild horses running free.

Out of control!

She turned her face to refuse, but the little thing held onto her hand and shook it gently.

Li Siqi had an illusion. The first half of her life was ruined by Gu Yunfan, and the second half was ruined by this little thing. Even this little thing was... that person's reincarnation! Even if she wasn't Gu Yunfan's child, she still cared about it in her heart.

She felt possessed...

When he came to, the man was already in the master bedroom and Gu Siqi was rolling around on the soft bed.

Li Siqi sat on the sofa by the window, struggling to talk to her mother on the phone. The call went through but because of the weather, the voice was crackly.

"Mom... um... It's raining too hard, I can't go back!"

Yes, at Mr. Gu's house.

……

Li Mu waited for a long time before slowly speaking, "Siqi, have you thought this through If you truly don't mind his past marriage or the child, Mom respects your choice. But if you feel even a little bit pressured, then cut your losses in time. Although our family isn't as wealthy as it used to be, we're still comfortable and don't need to climb up social ladders. The most important thing is... do you still love him"

After Li Mu finished speaking, there was a long silence on both ends of the phone.

Li Siqi could give herself reasons, she could insist that the rain was too heavy, or that the child was clingy... But she couldn't say it out loud, because facing her was her own mother, the person who understood her best.

Her heart was pounding in her chest!

After a long pause, she softly replied, "Mom, I understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Li on the other end felt a wave of sadness wash over her. Although she had long accepted the situation, the fact that her daughter ultimately ended up with Gu Yunfan still made her feel melancholy and incomplete.

If we had gotten married in our prime, our kids would be making soy sauce now!

Here, Li Siqi put down her phone.

At a glance, the little one who was rolling around on the bed had actually fallen asleep with a pillow in his arms. His delicate little face was pressed against the pillow, as if he were smelling Daddy's scent.

It looks like a harmless little animal.

Li Siqi got up and walked over, standing by the bed to look at that serene sleeping face. It was very beautiful... There were traces of the deceased Mrs. Gu between her eyebrows and eyes, but overall she looked more lively.

After a long silence, she couldn't help but reach out and gently touch it.

But soon pulled back his hand!

She covered the little one with a blanket, and took off her socks, letting her lie down comfortably.

She wants to take a shower by herself.

In July, the thunderstorms were stiflingly humid. But as she reached her closet, she realized this was Gu Yunfan's permanent villa, unlike his other residences where her clothes were kept.

Gu Yunfan stood at the door, his voice hoarse: "Wear mine!"

He walked over, pulling a black shirt from the closet. When he looked at her again, his dark eyes gleamed: "Just make do with your underwear for now, I'll have Zhang's secretary bring some over tomorrow."

"No need!"

"I'll wash up, and we'll get to work early tomorrow."

……

Gu Yunfan was still looking at her, Li Siqi felt uncomfortable, she whispered: "Don't you sleep in the small room Why aren't you going"

He stared at her for a few seconds and then turned away, but instead of leaving he shut the closet door.

Looking back, Li Siqi's eyes turned red.

Under the bright lights, her face was slightly pale, with redness in the corners of her eyes... She looked pitiful and wronged. He walked over and gently stroked that spot.

She felt overwhelmed and opened his hand.

Gu Yunfan not only wasn't annoyed, but instead gently smiled. The moment he spoke, his voice was incredibly gentle, just like it used to be, and he said, "Siqi, I give you everything, and you give yourself to me, alright"

Everything he said was about the entire stake in Gu's company.

He once left her for another, but now... he's presenting this to her, kneeling and begging her to be with him again.

Li Siqi stared at him with a fixed gaze.

Her eyes were brimming with tears, but she refused to show weakness, holding back until they ached.

Gu Yunfan took out a file from the drawer.

He came to her side, looking down at her gently. He whispered, "If you don't feel safe with me, I'll give you everything. You can sign this, and the entire Gu Corporation will be yours. If you still hate me, kick me to the curb. But you have to help me raise Gu Siqi; however, if you still have a little love for me, just sign it. For the rest of your life, I'll work for you."

Li Siqi finally couldn't hold back.

She tilted her head slightly, suppressing her emotions: "That sounds nice! Like you really care about me. Where were you all this time"

She was so exasperated, she couldn't help but slap him.

Gu Yunfan didn't dodge and took the slap head-on. Perhaps it was guilt in his heart, or maybe he liked her tone; whatever it was, when she slapped him for the fourth time, he grabbed her hand and whispered, "If you hit me again, I won't be able to hold back!"

Li Siqi was stunned.

He lifted her onto the back of the sofa, so she was sitting high up.

Tears still glistened in her eyes, and under her gaze, he dropped to one knee before her. His voice was rough and husky: "Don't move!"

She sensed what he was about to do, her whole body trembling.

They had been good for several years, but he had never done this for her because it was too private, or perhaps he was still arrogant deep down and wouldn't do something like that for a woman...

Under the crystal chandelier, Li Siqi, with tears in her eyes, was lost in the joy he brought her.

She trembled uncontrollably...

Gu Yunfan kissed her lips, kissing her deeply and lightly for a long time. He leaned down and pressed his forehead against hers: "Has your anger subsided"

Li Siqi in the mirror, saw her own failings.

She refused to open her eyes, unwilling to look at the absurdity. Gu Yunfan chuckled lightly, reached out his hand and interlocked fingers with hers. He handed her the equity transfer agreement, "Sign it, then have Lawyer Huo notarize it, and afterward, you'll be the largest shareholder of Gu Corporation."

After the emotional turmoil subsided, Li Siqi's mind became much clearer.

She wasn't so noble as to despise money, but what Gu Yunfan gave her, she couldn't accept.

She didn't dare to accept it!

She didn't think this was him loving her, being generous to her. On the contrary, it was a man's little trick, he used this to tie her down, to put it bluntly, he wanted both the landscape and the beauty.

She thinks he is greedy!

Gu Yunfan didn't push him either. He looked at the share transfer agreement and said, "Take your time to think about it."

He probably considered Gu Siqi's mental and physical health, so he didn't stay in the master bedroom for the night. Instead, he left promptly, only gently stroking her shoulder as he departed, saying softly, "Go wash up! It was all a mess just now!"

Li Siqi's face blushed slightly.

She feigned indifference: "It was your choice. I didn't force you."

……

Li Siqi felt that she was far from Gu Yunfan's match.

She will be eaten alive in this house, body and soul.

So for the next two weeks, she always made excuses about feeling unwell and refused to come to the villa for lessons... Strangely, who knows how Gu Yunfan talked to Gu Siqi, that little thing actually didn't get angry. She even acted like an adult and comforted her: "Dad said that women always have a few days when they don't feel well. Just rest more."

Li Siqi really wanted to kill him!

After hanging up the phone, Li's mother asked with a hint of embarrassment, "Is it Gu Yunfan's daughter again"

Li Siqi hummed in agreement.

Li Mu paused and said, "I see she seems very attached to you. She...doesn't know anything about what happened between you and her father in the past Siqi, children grow up too."

Li Siqi was lost in thought for a while, then she said softly, "She..."

She ultimately still told him about Gu Siqi's background.

Li's mother was shocked.

She truly hadn't expected Gu Yunfan to be so magnanimous as to raise a child for his unfaithful wife, and treat him as his own. For a moment, her feelings were complex. At the same time, she understood why Siqi could accept Gu Yunfan so quickly. Even if she didn't say it on the surface, a mother knows her daughter best. The day she came back, her distracted appearance was impossible to hide.

The mother and daughter were talking about something personal when the doorbell rang.

I thought it was Gu Yunfan who came to my door with a thick face, but when I opened the door, it turned out to be a graceful and elegant madam.

Sui Yun, who is also Gu Yunfan's mother.

Li Siqi stood dumbfounded in the foyer.

Su Yun gently touched her head and said in a very kind and loving voice, "Lost your mind You don't even invite me in for a sit I came here today specially to ask your mother to go drink coffee with me. I heard she is from H city and has a good taste for coffee."

Li Siqi quickly invited the person in.

Li Mu naturally acted politely, but in her heart she thought: That old thing Gu Yunfan truly has everyone under his control. My son, my daughter, now even his own mother!

Where could she, Siqi, run to escapeto see me."Last night was so unpleasant.She thought, Huo Yunsi might never want to see her again in this lifetime.Although Yan's secretary didn't know the details between them, she could guess most of...
