Working Together (2)

He gave Gu Xijiu a judgmental look, for she did not seem like the person who would care for a child of unknown background and origin. Hesitantly, he half-jokingly added, "He is our child. I will not make him suffer."

And maybe, the only reason Di Fuyi invited Gu Xijiu along was to make Yun Qingluo feel a sense of competition. Her mind swirled with the many different possibilities. She had to stop.
