Gu Babao looked at Mo Chen. They were standing by the door, where the light was hazy. He stood in the midst of it, graceful and warm like a high-quality pearl oyster, exuding a comforting glow. No matter how you looked at him, he was perfect, elegant, excellent, making her feel that he was gentlemanly.
However, she seemed to evade any conversation with him about their future.
Gu Babao finally nodded slightly and went into the living room. Mo Chen opened a bottle of red wine from the liquor cabinet, brought over two crystal glasses, and poured one for Gu Babao as well. Gu Babao said thank you.
Mo Chen did not respond but merely gently swirled the wine in his hand before taking a small sip.
"How have you and the child been doing these past一年多裡？"
"Very well," replied Gu Babao. "Sen Sen can now speak, and they've become much more outgoing. They aren't as isolated at school anymore and have made new friends. My work is going smoothly, and my mood has gradually improved."
Mo Chen said, "Wu Shuang gave birth to a pair of twins, and Ka Ka slept for over a year before finally waking up."
"Congratulations to them," Gu Babao sincerely said.
Mo Chen pursed his lips. "I am very sorry about what happened with Lin Lin. It's an error I will never be able to forgive myself for; I know that I've wronged you and the children. I can make any kind of compensation."
"No need!" Gu Baobao looked at Mo Chen and said seriously, "I no longer blame anyone or feel that someone should be responsible for this. I have calmly accepted the fact of Linlin leaving me. I will always cherish my son, and I won't blame you either. You don't need to compensate us in any way; I don't think I need anything. I can teach them well and provide them with a good life financially. I love them as much as I would love my own life and will raise them up properly."
"What about paternal love, can you give it to them"
"I cannot, but you can," Gu Baobao said somewhat blankly; their children should naturally be loved by both of them. Mo Chen asked back, slightly bewildered by her thought process.
"What do you mean"
"You are welcome to see them anytime and I won't object, or take them for a short stay somewhere, which I also won't mind."
Mo Chen now understood Gu Baobao's intentions; she was entirely considering the children’s welfare without taking their relationship into account. It was as if in a divorced couple scenario where he had visitation rights but nothing else.
Seeing Gu Baobao’s blank expression, it was clear that she had been thinking about this since his appearance. Mo Chen smiled bitterly; should he commend her for being understanding and willing to allow him visitation without any reservations
She even allowed him to take the children away for a short stay.
But why hadn't she considered their relationship at all.
His goal was her, not the children.
"Baby, would you spend your whole life alone or find someone else you like" Mo Chen asked.
Gu Baby said, "It's up to fate, I don't know."
"Then why won't you give me a chance" Mo Chen almost urgently asked, looking deeply at Gu Baby. "Give me the chance to love you properly and take care of the children."
Gu Baby seemed about to say something but eventually shook her head instead, indicating she was sorry. A hint of disappointment appeared in Mo Chen's eyes; Gu Baby wasn't just rejecting him, she rejected every man who wanted to enter her heart.
Even though she felt lost herself, she enjoyed freedom and couldn't be easily moved by love since to her, love meant being tied down.
"When Linlin was in trouble, I wished I could have been there for you, to help you through this painful period. But you didn’t ask for that; not only did you not need it, but you pushed me away too. I understand we both needed time to cool off and process what happened with Linlin. We might never be able to forget completely, yet life goes on. For Sen Sen’s and Mu Mu’s sake, we must move forward bravely. I promised myself back then that I would give you two years’ time. After two years, I will come for you to start our family together—me, you, Mu Mu, Sen Sen, maybe even more children in the future. I know this is wishful thinking on my part. But Baby, could you give me a chance I don’t ask you to fall in love with me right away or to give me an immediate answer; all I want is for you to grant me this opportunity so that I can prove to you that we will be happy."
"Is there any point doing this" Gu Baby asked.
"Of course," Mo Chen replied. "Back then, you considered being with me for the sake of the children; today, could you consider it again for their sake I swear not to let something like what happened with Linlin happen again, even though you don’t believe me. But try believing me once more; I truly guarantee that such an event won't occur again."
Gu Baby bit her lip and asked Mo Chen very confusedly, "Why do you like me"
"I don’t know," Mo Chen said. "If I knew why I liked you or how to stop liking you, I wouldn’t be in Paris today."
"Even if I agree with you, it doesn't guarantee anything," Gu Babao seriously thought about it and finally gave in. Mo Chen heaved a sigh of relief; all he needed was for Gu Babao to give her consent.
"As long as you agree and give me a chance, even if you haven't fallen in love with me, that's my own inadequacy. At that time, I will leave happily and be willing to just be your friend, wishing you eternal happiness," Mo Chen said.
Gu Babao was somewhat touched; it would be lying to say she wasn’t moved. Mo Chen had a way with words; she also had persistent suitors for years, but only Mo Chen could speak such moving words without any romantic feelings.
She knew that she should give him an opportunity.
However, the shadow of Linlin made her hesitate again.
"Look," said Mo Chen, "Mu Mu and Sen Sen are very happy today, and you're also happy. At least I can bring happiness to both of us, right"
Gu Babao nodded.
Morning continued, saying, "I've liked you for so many years, from when I was sixteen, more than ten years, it hasn't changed at all. Baby, this isn’t a matter of days or weeks; even though there's only my one-sided affection between us, we still have ten precious years of memories. Consider these ten years and give me a chance, okay Let me love you and our children properly; don't easily reject a heart that has loved for so long."
