Nick approached Gu Babbo and sat down beside her, looking at the design drafts she was seeing. Gu Babbo's draft wasn't a new one but some old ones; she tried to find inspiration from her previous works.

Gu Babbo smiled at him and then focused on her design sketches once more. The simple greeting over, Nick quietly observed her perfect profile as the breeze gently blew through her long hair, carrying a faint fragrance. He felt restless but also felt sad when he looked at Gu Babbo. He had been by her side for years and liked her for quite some time.

He thought that Gu Babbo would be moved by him eventually; all it took was time. Although he knew that Baby wouldn't be easily touched, he still tried his best to make her fall in love with him.

Would he lose her despite all his efforts

Could they only remain friends

"Nick, what's wrong" Gu Babbo turned and asked him with a smile when she noticed his silence. Nick was usually lively and talkative; it was rare for him to be so quiet while with her. Most of the time, he would initiate conversation.

"Lisha, do I have no more chances" Nick asked sadly. Gu Babbo froze at his words, not understanding them initially. Only when she saw how bad his expression looked did she realize what he meant by 'no more chances.'

She never gave Nick a chance, but he was persistent and kept pursuing her all these years. Gu Baobao advised him to go out and find his own love, and he did date girls, yet remained deeply devoted to waiting for her.

Gu Baobao didn't think she had done anything wrong. Love either comes or it doesn't; one can't force it. She always felt clear in her conscience regarding Nick's feelings, but thinking about his long-term devotion made her feel a bit uncomfortable.

They were always just friends.

"Nick, we've always been friends," Gu Baobao said the same old thing again. Nick was completely disheartened and asked somewhat unwillingly, "Why did you fall in love with him What's so good about him He does household chores but doesn't earn money; apart from being good-looking, he has nothing else going for him. Why do you like him"

Gu Baobao was surprised—household chores and cooking without earning money

She strangely didn’t refute the fact that she wasn’t attracted to Mo Chen but countered instead, "Nick, you’re wrong; Mo Chen is very capable. He's good at making money. Besides, a man doing household chores isn't unusual; he takes care of our mother and son very well."

"I don't believe it!"

"Believe what you want," Gu Baobao smiled calmly. Nick was unconvinced, thinking that Gu Baobao only said this to protect Mo Chen's self-esteem, as he considered Mo Chen a weak and useless pretty boy.

Gu Babao was sketching designs while chuckling softly and said, "Nick, do you think Mo Chen is weak and unsuccessful"

"Yes!" Nick replied. "Such a man is irresponsible; he hasn't taken on the responsibility of looking after all of you."

Gu Babao smiled slightly as she said, "What constitutes success What does it mean to be weak or responsible The definitions are different. I have a friend who's a couple with three kids. Because they were too busy at work, they didn't have time for the children and always quarreled. Later on, he realized that his wife earned more than him and had a better future, so he quit his job to focus on taking care of their three children full-time. To him, maintaining peace in the family and being a good husband and father is success. I know another designer who gave up a high-paying job and came alone to Paris to seek inspiration on the streets every day; they pursue free expression through painting. In his view, living freely is success and not at all weak or irresponsible. The definition of success varies greatly. It's not necessarily true that the more money one earns, the more successful they are or the more responsible they are. Take my friend's family as an example: if both of them keep arguing until they divorce and their family falls apart, what use would success be Success earned from a few dollars known by sb is nothing to boast about. If you live in reality the life you envisioned for yourself, it means you're responsible to yourself and others; that's also a form of success. How many people dream of a free life but can't afford to have one No matter how you look at it, Mo Chen is an excellent and successful man, the most responsible man I've ever met."

This was a fact she had never denied, solidly existing right before her eyes. That's why she could be so calm in dealing with him after calming down— he merely wanted to take responsibility for their mother-son relationship and care for them.

While Gu Babao spoke, the brush in her hand didn't stop moving; it continued sketching out her design draft as a faint smile played on her lips. Nick was slightly taken aback by what she said— he hadn’t expected her to articulate such thoughts.

This wasn't something deeply considered but rather Gu Babao's ingrained belief, reflecting her worldview and values. Few women have this kind of value system.

"Lisha, if he lived like this his whole life, would you truly be willing to stay with him" Nick couldn't understand Gu Babao.

Gu Babao said, "That depends on whether I like it or not. What does it matter if he can’t earn money I can earn enough; I can support the family and ensure that our children live comfortably. As long as he’s a good father to them, that's all that matters."

Moreover, where to spend so much money

Nick had given up hope, but Mo Chen chuckled softly behind her.

His gaze was tender as if he wanted to cradle her in his hands.

The kind of women Gu Babo and Gu Xiangyi are: despite being young, they have experienced a lot, don't easily get moved or sad, nor do they readily give themselves away. But they possess a compassionate heart and an effortless grace.

On them, you see no signs of the entire society's restlessness; there is nothing about their brisk city pace. Instead, they have something soothing within them, which is their true essence.

A person can't love another out of nowhere; there must be a reason why one's gaze is drawn to that person.

When he was young and fell in love with Gu Babo, it was because of her playful charm. After maturing and encountering Gu Babo again, she had undergone tremendous changes in character, but the core essence within her remained unchanged.

This inherent quality that brings a sense of reassurance and tranquility is what Gu Babo's upbringing bestowed upon her.easant; he had been locked up here for over ten days, and the kiss was bitter with a hint of blood. But this was the first time Mo Yue experienced the fulfillment and excitement of kissing someone he...
