Chapter 555: Chapter 337: Letting Go for the First Time 2_2
Tang Baijin raised the bottle of mineral water in his hand, "Here’s to your New Year’s wish! I hope you achieve it soon!"
"Thank you!" Tian Xin sincerely said, "I’m really happy today, thanks to you! You’ve also made my parents very happy!"
"In the days to come, I hope you’ll be even happier," Tang Baijin said. "It’s quite late, I’ll take you back now!"
"But, I still want to play outside!" Tian Xin shrugged his shoulders.
"Alright then, I’ll take you back tomorrow morning! What do you want to do now?" said Tang Baijin.
Suddenly standing up, Tian Xin said, "I want to go bungee jumping, but unfortunately, they’ve closed already."
"Let’s go!" Tang Baijin said, "I know a friend who specializes in this line of work. I’ll take you there, and even if it’s closed, I can get him to open it up again."
"Really?" Tian Xin was thrilled.
"Of course..." said Tang Baijin, "just try not to scream later..."
"You’re the one who’ll scream..." Tian Xin glared at him.
The next morning, at Gu Residence.
Ji Su hadn’t slept all night. She got up very early; she thought it was her last night with her daughter and couldn’t bear to sleep.
So, after watching her daughter for the entire night, she got up early and made her favorite breakfast in the kitchen.
She took one glance at her daughter sleeping soundly in the room and then left quietly.
Just as she walked out of her daughter’s room, Gu Yucheng opened the door and saw her face with dark circles under her eyes and her haggard look.
"I’m leaving!" said Ji Su, "Thank you for agreeing to let me stay with Wanwan last night."
Gu Yucheng raised an eyebrow: "What? Playing hard to get?"
Ji Su looked at him, puzzled. She didn’t know what she had done to make him think she had so many schemes up her sleeve, playing hard to get!
Gu Yucheng scoffed, "When I asked you to stay, why did you pretend you wanted to leave?"
Ji Su’s emotions were like a rollercoaster; she felt like just an ant in his hands, his decision determining her life’s honor or disgrace.
Her heart raced with happiness upon hearing his first sentence.
But she was stunned by his second sentence.
However, she quickly let it go.
In his eyes, she was a woman who would do anything to achieve her goals. The first time she stole his business secrets was under duress, but this time, using the forged DNA test was her own choice.
Therefore, so long as she could stay, she wouldn’t explain herself.
"Can I really stay?" Ji Su knew, no matter what schemes she used, she ultimately lost to him! She tentatively asked.
Gu Yucheng was convinced she was just putting on an act, so he didn’t answer her and then went downstairs.
Watching his retreating figure, she felt that he had agreed to let her stay.
Suddenly, she felt her spirits brighten.
Regardless, Ji Su saw a glimmer of hope.
She then found a guest room, took a bath, and changed into a beautiful set of clothes. It was the first day of the new year, and she was determined to look beautiful and be happy with her daughter.
When Ji Su appeared in the living room, full of energy, Gu Yucheng was still a bit surprised. Throughout their six years of marriage, she always looked glamorous in front of others, but she was always like a zombie in front of him.
But this morning, he saw a different her!
Gu Yucheng was sitting at the table, watching financial news on his tablet.
Ji Su made him a cup of coffee, just like many years ago, every morning, she would make a cup of coffee, which she called Susu Brand Coffee.
For six years, they had misunderstood each other and had been in a cold war for six years.
Unexpectedly, Ji Su found that he looked even better than six years ago while focusing on the tablet!
Perhaps the mood is different. When the perspective of looking at people or things changes, the result is completely different.
She did not disturb him and placed it within his reach, then went to the market to buy groceries. Gu Yaowan would not wake up so early; she would first prepare lunch.
Although there was an abundance of cooked food available outside, she still wanted to cook.
When she returned from grocery shopping, Gu Yucheng was not at home, and the cup of coffee had not been touched.
Ji Su didn’t mind. She wanted to make it, and if he didn’t want to drink it, that was his business.
Suddenly, Gu Yaowan came downstairs, running: "Mom... Mom..."
"Mom bought your favorite crayfish." Ji Su held it up for her daughter to see, "Go wash your face and brush your teeth, then come down for some cake."
"Mom, Happy New Year!" Gu Yaowan called out joyously from the second-floor railing.
Ji Su also laughed happily: "Wanwan, Happy New Year! You must improve in your studies!"
In her heart, she said to Gu Yucheng, "Yucheng, Happy New Year! I hope you and Lu Xiao are happy!"
Tang Baijin and Tian Xin walked out from the bungee jumping site, with the sky already bright, and he took her back to the Tian Family.
Tian’s mom had gotten up very early and was busy with breakfast.
Seeing the two of them return and noticing the rosy glow on Tian Xin’s face, Tian’s mom, after Tian Xin went to her room to shower and change clothes, said to Tang Baijin, "Baijin, did you have fun last night?"
"Very fun." Tang Baijin honestly answered her.
Tian Xin’s mom hinted at something else, asking ambiguously, "Did anything happen between you two..."
Tang Baijin just smiled, "I will respect Tian Xin’s wishes."
Tian Xin’s mom happily said, "Although we’re a humble family, our girls are all decent. Tian Xin and Junyi have kept things proper. Baijin, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand," Tang Baijin nodded.
"That’s good!" Tian Xin’s mom said, "We’re having dumplings for breakfast, will you join us?"
"Sure!" Tang Baijin was not shy.
Tian Xin, after taking a shower and changing into her pajamas, was surprised to see that Tang Baijin hadn’t left. Her pajamas were very simple, as Father would head out early in the morning to give New Year’s greetings to his superiors, leaving only the mother and daughter at home, usually without wearing much underneath...
At that moment, she stood in the hall feeling particularly embarrassed.
Tang Baijin was drinking tea, looking up at her hair dripping onto the front of her pajamas.
He calmly averted his gaze, continuing to drink his tea, watching the news on TV.
"Auntie invited me to stay for dumplings," Tang Baijin spoke before Tian Xin could say anything.
