Chapter 20: I Like You Too

Gu Mo appeared at Su's house with Gu Bao, creating an illusion for the Su family members that the modest and not-so-luxurious house suddenly seemed to shine with splendor.

Although Gu Mo was seated in a wheelchair, his innately noble temperament still made him appear powerful. The energy contained within him was sharp and piercing, making people somewhat hesitant to look directly at him.

His presence was like a powerful sword unsheathed, radiating brilliance.

Uncle Su looked at them, his legs feeling weak: "Uh, hello there?"

"You're welcome, I'm Gu Yan's father, and I've come here today to express my gratitude... Su Heyi saved my son."

Su Heyi was about to argue that it wasn't like that at all! But before she could say anything, Gu Yanbao scratched her palm and winked at her, signaling her to keep quiet.

Alright... With doubts, she closed her mouth and decided not to speak for now.

At this moment, Su Youyou was not at home. After Gu Mo succinctly stated his purpose, he didn't even let them entertain him.

"No need for tea, I just came to take a look," Gu Mo slightly raised his eyebrows, and no one dared to object to his opinion.

His sharp eyes under his sword-like eyebrows made Uncle Su and Aunt Su both sigh and feel scared.

However, since they had guests, they had to entertain them well, especially since the couple could tell at a glance that Gu Mo was no ordinary person.

Whether it was his noble aura, his air of authority, or his high-end tailored attire, everything indicated his esteemed status. Aunt Su was very astute and immediately instructed Su Heyi to accompany Gu Mo well, then she took Uncle Su out to buy groceries.

They had only planned to have a casual dinner, but with the presence of someone who was definitely significant, even if they didn't know the exact identity, they started to flatter.

While going out, Aunt Su immediately called Su Youyou: "Don't go to the party tonight, hurry up and come home! Quickly!"

Su Youyou was hanging out with friends and refused: "I haven't had enough fun yet."

"Come back first, I promise you won't regret it," Aunt Su urged.

Su Youyou agreed: "Okay, I'll be right back."

Uncle Su was puzzled: "Why did you call our daughter back?"

"You wouldn't understand... You're so dense, I can't explain it to you!"

Aunt Su was scheming something in her mind, which Uncle Su didn't know yet, but she had already thought a lot.

Su Heyi clapped her hands after her aunt and uncle left: "Mr. Gu, let me show you my room!"

Her thoughts were pure; she just felt that this could make them more familiar with each other.

She never considered that this was like inviting a wolf into the house.

After Su Heyi finished speaking, Gu Bao had already walked ahead and opened the door to Su Heyi's cramped room.

"Dad, look, she actually lives in such a place!"

Gu Mo moved forward in his wheelchair, and after seeing the layout and environment of the room, his sword-like eyebrows gradually furrowed.

His gaze also became more profound and cold.

Su Heyi walked in by herself: "This is my bed, and this is my good friend—"

The good friend was a gray stuffed puppy, which the park director let her take back after a guest lost it.

Gu Yan stood next to his father, both of their eyes fixed on Su Heyi. She was so happy and innocent, as if there were no worries in the world, the world was bright and clean, and one could see through it at a glance, so she didn't realize the unfair treatment she was suffering.

Or even if she knew, she wouldn't be so sad because no one taught her to be unhappy. She probably thought that people living in this world are all happy and carefree.

The red blood vessels in Gu Mo's eyes became more pronounced, obviously angered.

Gu Yanbao whispered: "Dad, I've found out that this house should have been hers... They took her house and only gave her such a small room!"

Gu Mo responded seemingly indifferently: "You seem to know quite a lot."

This house was indeed, as Gu Mengbao said, it was Su Heyi's parents' before they passed away. But when they died, Uncle Su became Su Heyi's guardian, and the house was taken over by them.

If they had just taken the house, it would have been fine; they were taking care of Su Heyi, which was hard work. But pushing Su Heyi into such a small room was indeed a bit too selfish and dark.

Gu Bao chuckled: "Dad, you taught me that one must know oneself and the enemy to win every battle."

Five-year-old Gu Yan had already learned a lot beyond his peers, even surpassing children of ten or more years old. His knowledge reserve was clearly at that level.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Gu Mengbao would be considered a genius.

But there are too many geniuses in this world, and in Gu Mo's eyes, his son is excellent but far from enough.

Of course, Gu Mo also believes that his son will be able to become the heir of the Gu family in the future, after all, Gu Bao's birth was the result of Gu Mo's long search for superior genes...

"Dad, shouldn't we let her live at home? It's so bad here," Gu Mengbao pouted, clearly unhappy that Su Heyi lived in such a room every day. In Gu Mengbao's eyes, this small room converted from a study, although very clean and tidy, was too shabby and didn't match the best Su Heyi in his heart.

Gu Mo ruffled his hair and lightly hooked the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, I said, take it slow."

"Okay," Gu Yanbao could only wait patiently.

Su Heyi turned around in the room and suddenly brought her favorite puppy doll to Gu Mo.

"Mr. Gu..." Two blushes appeared on her cheeks, and her moist eyes seemed to ripple with green waves.

Gu Mo's cold and hard expression suddenly softened, and he smiled at her: "Hmm? What's up?"

"Xiao Hua is my best friend, shall I give Xiao Hua to you!" She shyly handed the puppy doll to Gu Mo, closing her eyes and not daring to look at his reaction.

After waiting for a long time without a response, Su Heyi pouted, a bit disappointed, and opened her eyes to say, "Don't you like this gift?"

But in the moment she opened her eyes, she fell into a pair of deep eyes that could almost suck her in.

Gu Mo asked, "Why do you want to give it to me?"

"Just... just..." Su Heyi was too anxious to speak and looked very aggrieved.

Gu Mo couldn't bear to tease her anymore and immediately took the puppy doll in his hand: "Okay, I accept, thank you for the gift, I like it very much."

Also... like you very much.

You, who are not on guard against me, are not afraid of me, and treat me with sincerity.
