She was only thirty-five years old but already looked emaciated and was acting crazier and crazier by the day.
Pity toward Gu Wei sprouted in Huo Wu’s heart.
If possible, Huo Wu hoped that her appearance there could gradually help make her sane again. It could also be regarded as fulfilling this mother-daughter relationship.
While Huo Wu was sitting by the lake still thinking about Gu Wei’s condition, her phone suddenly rang.
The caller was Huo Yusen.
Huo Wu answered the phone, “Big Brother?”
“Where are you?”
“I’m at the nursing home.”
“Where at the nursing home?”
Huo Wu glanced at the musical fountain in front of her and said, “I’m watching a musical fountain here at an artificial lake.”
Suddenly, Huo Wu thought of a possibility and immediately asked, “Big Brother, you didn’t come to the nursing home too, did you?”
“Hmm, wait for me.”
Huo Wu was still in a state of disbelief even after hanging up the phone.
She came here to see her mother. What was Huo Yusen doing here?
However, Huo Wu had no time to dwell on it for long, because Huo Yusen walked up to her in a tick.
Huo Wu was sitting quietly on the stone bench when she suddenly felt a large shadow loom over her head. When she looked up, she saw Huo Yusen’s familiar handsome face.
His face was hidden in the shadows, and above his head was the large swath of radiant sunlight, bathing his whole person in a halo of light, like a deity descending from the sky, handsome and charming.
He was smiling and looking intently at her.
The moment Huo Wu recognized Huo Yusen, she stood up and jumped into his arms. “Big Brother!”
Huo Yusen lifted his right hand and patted her head, chuckling, “Missed me?”
Huo Wu buried her head in Huo Yusen’s arms and nodded vigorously.
Huo Wu didn’t feel it earlier, but after seeing Huo Yusen, it turned out that her current self actually missed Huo Yusen a good deal.
Her heart, which was a little uneasy just now after seeing Gu Wei, settled down at once after seeing Huo Yusen.
It seemed that the mere sight of him gave her a full sense of security.
Huo Wu recalled her biological mother who she had just met and murmured, “Big Brother, I just saw her. She’s crazy and looks awfully bad.”
Both knew that the “her” Huo Wu was referring to was Gu Wei.
Huo Yusen grunted gently. He knew that Huo Wu just now wanted to confide in him, so he said nothing and just quietly listened to her.
Huo Wu hugged Huo Yusen and continued to whisper, “My eldest cousin said that the man hurt her a lot back then. The man on his lips should be my father. I think she is so pitiful. When a woman meets a dirtbag, she will really be ruined for a lifetime.”
Gu Wei was the pearl of the Gu family. Who would have thought back then that she would end up like this now? She was young but crazy. If not cured, then her life would be done for.
Huo Wu was very emotional about Gu Wei’s experience, and she couldn’t wait to share her thoughts with Huo Yusen after seeing him.
In her previous life, she had been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years. She had witnessed too much loving affection on the surface, when in fact, each celebrity lover or married couple was secretly playing their own games. At the same time, she had seen plenty of love games between dirtbags and bitches, so she was confused and uneasy when it came to love. That was why she was distracted when her eldest and second cousins mentioned her future boyfriend just now. Even she, herself, did not know what her future significant other would be like.
After seeing Huo Yusen, she felt like she had found her backbone and had an unparalleled sense of security. Seeing him made her want to express what was in her heart.
Huo Wu thought Huo Yusen would comfort her and say that Gu Wei’s situation would slowly get better and so on. It was against all odds when what he said instead was, “I will never do this.”
Huo Wu didn’t understand at first. She lifted her head from Huo Yusen’s arms, blinked, and asked, “What?”
Huo Yusen looked down at her and explained word by word, “I said, I won’t be like that. I will only pamper my woman, give her supreme happiness, and let her live like a princess all her life.”
Huo Wu’s heart skipped a bit, hearing his words.
He was talking about his woman.
Reminiscent of the previous Truth or Dare game, he said he had someone he liked at that time.
So, was someone really going to snatch her brother from her?
For some reason, the thought of that possibility made Huo Wu a little breathless.
Was her brother really going to become someone else’s ‘big brother’?
She bit her lower lip fiercely, in complete shambles deep inside.
Just then, Huo Yusen reached out without warning and gently squeezed her chin, causing her to raise her head involuntarily.
Huo Wu reflexively raised her eyes to look at Huo Yusen.
At this moment, his eyes were deep and serious, and his chiseled handsome face bore an extremely rare gentle smile.
For the first time, she found out that he could smile so gently.
She clearly heard him tell her, “So, do you want to be the little princess I hold in my palm?
“All sentient beings are bitter but only you can bring me sweetness. Therefore, for once in my life, I want to be domineering with you. After knowing that you are not my sister, I wanted to high-handedly ask for three things from you —— First, please do give me a chance to like you. Second, please do give me a chance to be with you. Third, please do give me a chance to treat you well all my life and let me pamper you in the palm of my hand.”
