256 Chapter 259: Nothing to be afraid of

Gu Ruochu had finally fallen into his hands. She calmed down when she saw his expression. Regardless of whether she had made the right decision or not, Gu Ruochu felt that she had met her nemesis.

She suddenly remembered what Xu Yichen had said. 'If love could be controlled, it would end up being too boring.'

Slowly, Gu Ruochu began to lose consciousness. She fell asleep and had a familiar dream.

In the beautiful garden with the big tree stood the boy who had appeared in her previous dreams. He was a beautiful little boy. Gu Ruochu had never seen such an innocent, carefree, and happy child.

They ran around the swing, and a cat was squatting beside it. It coiled its tail around the side as it lazily squinted its eyes.

The scene was so real and beautiful that it felt as if one could touch it.

"Little brother..."

She abruptly raised her head, and the dream seemed to have been shattered. The entire world was dark, and an inexplicable sense of panic surged through her.

Gu Ruochu opened her eyes. It was already morning.

She firmly rubbed against Huo Nanchen. As long as he was by her side, she would not be afraid of anything.

After she got up, Gu Ruochu reached out and rubbed her temples. When she looked at him, Huo Nanchen's face was half-buried in the blanket. Under the morning light, his face looked as beautiful as a baby's.

Gu Ruochu laid her head on his arm and touched his features with her fingertips. He did not even stir. She did not know how long it had been since he last slept. He seemed so tired.

'Huo Nanchen. Huo Nanchen...'

She silently chanted his name in her heart. It was filled with tenderness and love.

"..."

Zhou Yunxi had not gone shopping for a long time. She remembered that when she first moved to Nan Cheng, everything had been new to her. Especially after Gu Ruochu married into the Huo family, she did not even ask about the price when she went to the mall. She only swiped her card directly.

But now, the money in her account was running low.

Gu Yanwei did not have enough money to support her.

In the past, Zhou Yunxi often boasted about how good and filial her daughter was. However, now that they had no money, she was getting a little frustrated with their situation.

"Hey, madam, are you here to see the latest fashion model for this season?" The salesperson was familiar with Zhou Yunxi and invited her to the shop enthusiastically. Zhou Yunxi felt a little awkward. "These are the latest models. We brought them in yesterday."

"I'm just looking. It's another matter whether I buy it or not."

The salesperson was taken aback by Zhou Yunxi's dismissive attitude.

"No. I have something urgent to do. I'll come back another day."

Zhou Yunxi was in a hurry to leave and accidentally bumped into an elegant and noble lady. Her face looked smooth. Not even a fine line could be seen on it. It was absolutely beautiful for her age.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Zhou Yunxi's mind went blank when she saw the still-charming face. It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck her.

'Is it her?'

Zhang Xuan frowned. Her manners did not allow her to curse. However, the person who had bumped into her left in a hurry. It was as if they had seen a ghost. They had not even apologized to her.

"Who is it?"

Zhang Xuan could not help but say something. She felt that the culprit had been rude for leaving without apologizing.

Zhou Yunxi bumped into many people as she walked hurriedly. She did not care about the complaints and scoldings that came from behind her. She had not expected to see Zhang Xuan in Nan Cheng after so many years!

When she returned home panting, she still felt her heart trembling. At the same time, a sharp hatred welled up in her heart.

That b*tch was living in luxury now. If she knew that Zhou Yunxi had sold her daughter, would she regret it?

She had been a well-known socialite. Her husband loved her and had a successful career. Did she ever think that her biological daughter would suffer a fate worse than death?

Zhou Yunxi laughed out loud, and a tear fell from her eye socket.

She felt a sense of hatred and happiness, all at the same time.
