“This isn’t something worth repeating,” Song Fan said.

Gu Chen nodded when he saw her reaction. “I was being rude.”

Song Fan didn’t want to talk much about her life in Yongping Village. While others might see it as hardship, to her, it was a very happy time.

Without the gossip and the spiteful gazes of her relatives, Song Fan could finally grow on her own terms.

Though the conditions were challenging, she had the opportunity to work hard and overcome them.

In her previous life, she wasn’t born into a wealthy family. She had grown up as an orphan in an orphanage, relying on scholarships due to her excellent academic performance. Eventually, she gained admission to a prestigious university and entered a research laboratory.

It was there that she found a career she loved and was unwilling to leave. Her hard work in the lab eventually caught the country’s attention, leading to her appointment at the National Research Institute.

Although Yongping Village was remote and less developed, it had a simplicity that couldn’t be found in the city. People worked from sunrise to sunset, living slowly while guarding the forest.

Without the complexities of city life, everyone in Yongping Village held onto their hopes that the children would leave this place one day to have a better life.

Hopes gave people purpose, and in Yongping Village, everyone had their aspirations, refusing to bow down to life’s hardships.

When they arrived at the hospital, Song Fan got out of the car but was followed by Gu Chen.

“Are you visiting someone too?” Song Fan asked.

Gu Chen buttoned his suit and replied, “I want to visit your godmother.”

Song Fan’s eyes widened. She couldn’t understand why Gu Chen wanted to see her godmother when they had no prior interactions.

Without giving her time to ponder, Gu Chen went directly into the hospital, took the elevator to the top floor, and even remembered the room number.

Song Fan watched as he knocked on the door of her godmother’s room. It was only then that she recovered from her shock. Both of them were now standing in front of her godmother, and Gu Chen seemed especially close.

Wang Rou looked at the tall and handsome young man in front of her and asked, “MO Li, who is this?”

Song Fan quickly introduced, “Godmother, this is my friend, Gu Chen.”

Gu Chen, who typically had an expressionless face, was smiling now, and his expression appeared quite gentle. He took two steps forward and said, “Aunt, I came in a hurry and didn’t bring any nice gifts. I’ll send some tonics later, and I hope you’ll accept them.”

Wang Rou could tell that Gu Chen was interested in Song Fan. She turned to look at Song Fan, who was standing behind her, using her eyes to inquire if she should accept the gifts.

Originally, Song Fan wanted to decline, but she thought that Gu Chen was the one who had stirred up trouble for her. So she nodded and told Wang Rou to accept the gifts.

Wang Rou’s smile brightened upon seeing this. If it had been someone Song Fan disliked, she wouldn’t have accepted anything from them.

She took Gu Chen’s hand and asked, “Xiao Chen, I think you’re older than MO Li, right?”

Upon hearing Song Fan’s nickname from Wang Rou made Gu Chen’s heart race, and he responded, “I’m five years older than MO Li.”

A five-year age gap wasn’t significant. Satisfied with his answer, Wang Rou nodded. She then examined Gu Chen with what she thought was a discreet gaze.

Upon seeing this, Song Fan quickly interjected, “Godmother, it was hard for me to come over today. How about you talk to me?”contemporary romance

Wang Rou smiled and said, “I see you coming every week, MO Li. Of course, I have to chat with Xiao Chen.”

At this point, she realized that Song Fan had mentioned the Gu Family to her. Upon observing Gu Chen’s noble aura, it was clear he wasn’t an ordinary person. Could he be from the Gu Family?

However, out of politeness, Wang Rou didn’t ask further questions. She only sD0ke amicablv to the two children and offered some pastries she had made to entertain them.

After Gu Chen left, she inquired, “MO Li, is Gu Chen from the Gu Family in the capital?”

“Yes,” Song Fan affirmed. “He’s the future heir of the Gu Family.”

This revelation cooled Wang Rou’s once-enthusiastic heart. The influence of the Gu Family was immense, and Song Fan seemed entirely different to someone like Gu Chen.

The Song Family didn’t like Song Fan to begin with, so they wouldn’t support her. If anything happened, she could be easily bullied. Besides, the Gu family had meddled in that past incident.

Although she wasn’t sure of their role, it was better to keep her distance. Song Fan had finally found a stable life, and she couldn’t let anything disrupt it. Wang Rou pulled Song Fan aside and asked, “MO Li, do you like him?”
