Gu Xiaonan believed that he could make an earnest appeal, “Mother, I think now is a good time.”

“No, we should prepare lunch now. We’re having hot pot today!”

“Wow, I can get to eat hotpot again? That’s great!” Gu Xiaonan’s attention was immediately diverted.

Gu Qingluan secretly wiped off the nonexistent sweat on her forehead.

Luckily, she managed to divert her son’s attention.

She thought that her son’s “Devil voice” was no less powerful than the Heavenly Heart Qin. It was better to save it for those troublesome enemies.

Gu Qingluan needed to change her clothes, so she asked Xiaonan to go to the dining hall first.

After a while, she arrived at the dining hall.

The table was already set with a hot pot in the middle, and a stove underneath it emitted flames, spreading a tantalizing aroma in the air.

Various fresh vegetables were placed around the table, all prepared by the kitchen and Bo He.

Gu Qingluan asked Bo He to join them for dinner.

During her stay on the Island of No Return, Bo He frequently shared meals with her masters, so she felt at ease and expressed her gratitude to her mistress before settling down on a chair.

The three of them enjoyed the hot pot, savoring the delicious flavors.

Afterwards, Gu Qingluan and Xiaonan both reclined on the lounge chair in the courtyard.

Suddenly, Xiaonan remembered his promise to Feng Yuanxi and sat up, looking at Gu Qingluan. “Mother, can I ask you a question?”

“Go ahead.”

“Do you only have me as your son?”

Gu Qingluan’s content expression disappeared, and she opened her eyes, looking at him sideways. “Why would you ask such a question? Of course, you are my only son.”

Xiaonan murmured softly, “That’s what I thought. Mother must only have me as her son.”

He smiled and shook his head. “It’s nothing, I just feel so fortunate to have such a wonderful mother. I must be the happiest child in the world.”

In comparison to Gu Xiaonan, Yuanxi was so miserable.

Unnoticed by Xiaonan, a trace of sadness flashed in Gu Qingluan’s eyes.

She was uncertain if she still had another son, as she didn’t know the gender of the child snatched by Gu Lingxue.

If that child had survived, they would be of similar age to Xiaonan, adorable and smart.

Such thoughts triggered a wave of hatred and revenge in Gu Qingluan.

Gu Lingxue, the one who had stolen and killed her child, would never be able to coexist with them!

Wait and see, soon she would make Gu Lingxue pay with her life as an offering to the spirit of her child!

“Madam, you’re finally awake, that’s great!” Steward Wang was overjoyed to see Wang Shi open her eyes.

Beside them, Gu Zhixin breathed a sigh of relief. “It seems the antidote is effective. The Island of No Return is truly remarkable; it can cure any difficult ailment.”

Wang Shi was assisted into a sitting position, still in a weakened state.

Upon hearing her second brother’s words, she asked, “Did Mr. Liu save me? I must thank him.”

Gu Er Ye snorted coldly, “This medicine was bought with one million taels of gold. Why thank him?”

Wang Shi looked at him in surprise, “Mr. Liu is from the Island of No Return. Second brother has always considered him an esteemed guest. Money is one thing, but if there is no friendship, the other party may not have helped.”

“Madam, you were unconscious for these past few days and unaware of what happened!” Steward Wang informed her of the events during her coma.

After hearing the story, Wang Shi was furious.

“That wretched girl is causing trouble again! Why can’t she just die?”

Everyone in the room shared the same sentiment.

If Gu Qingluan had died, their Gu family would have had fewer troubles.

Fortunately, the Gu family now had a revered one on their side, allowing them to finally hold their heads high and handle Gu Qingluan appropriately!

Wang Shi had recently regained consciousness, but her body remained weak. After eating a small meal, she drifted back to sleep. Gu Xiaonan returned to his own quarters, with no intentions of troubling Gu Qingluan until she recovered fully, or more precisely, until Gu Zhichcng emerged from seclusion.

Gu Qingluan could finally have a few peaceful days to herself and attend to her own affairs.

After receiving the answer from her, Xiaonan took Briquette and StcamedBun to find Feng Yuanxi the next day.

Yesterday, Feng Tianlan had given Gu Xiaonan permission to visit through the main gate. Gu Xiaonan entered smoothly without any hindrance.

However, the guards in the palace dutifully reported to Feng Tianlan.

Feng Tianlan confirmed that only Xiaonan had come and didn’t pay much attention.

“She really only has one child?”

Inside the room, Feng Yuanxi eagerly awaited Xiaonan’s answer but was filled with disappointment as his large eyes became misty.

Xiaonan nodded emphatically, “Mother said it herself! It must be true!”

Feng Yuanxi sighed. “Since Beautiful Sister is not my mother, I won’t be able to see her anymore.”

“Oh, don’t cry! Do you like Mother that much?”

Feng Yuanxi sniffled, his red eyes resembling a little rabbit, looking inexplicably pitiful.

“Beautiful Sister is like my mother.”

“Then, that’s easy! Let’s ask Mother to adopt you as her godchild!”

“Can I do that?” Feng Yuanxi widened his eyes.

“As long as my mother agrees.”

“But will she… agree?” Feng Yuanxi stared at him with his small face. “You look just like me. If you act a little spoiled, my mother will surely give in and agree.”

Feng Yuanxi’s face initially lit up with excitement, but soon a troubled expression took over. “But you made a promise to Father that you won’t go searching for my mother. If I go and find her, and Father discovers it, he will send me away from Tianjing.”

He didn’t want to leave. At least, staying in Tianjing would bring him closer to Beautiful Sister.

If he left, he felt like he would never see Beautiful Sister again.

Xiaonan scratched his head.

This was indeed a problem.

Initially, when he made the promise, he thought that if Yuanxi didn’t go to his mother, he could bring his mother to find Yuanxi.

But Yuanxi mentioned that the last time they encountered the three-headed snake, the Great Demon Lord saved his mother, and his mother promised the Great Demon Lord not to go find Yuanxi.

Both of them had made promises and couldn’t go back on them.

Suddenly, a bright idea flashed in Xiaonan’s mind..
