Watching Luo Juntian fall asleep, she tucked him in again and couldn’t help but gently stroke his sleeping face.
His handsome and stylish face attracted millions of fans, making him a top-tier celebrity who was once extremely popular and a dream that many people could only dream of.
Gu Yuan recalled the first time she met him in the elevator. The young man, wearing sunglasses and a trench coat, was handsome, perfect, simple, and capable, with a powerful aura. At that moment, she knew he must be a celebrity, and definitely not an ordinary man.
Thinking this way, she didn’t take it too seriously. After all, there were many outstanding people in this world. She just looked at them and that was it. They were people who were very far removed from her.
Gu Yuan never expected that this top celebrity, whom so many girls considered their dream man, would repeatedly lend a helping hand, later even act in a movie with her, and eventually become her son.
She was somewhat apprehensive as a senior, someone she respected, became her son.
Being a mother was not easy, and being a mother who was younger and less experienced than her own son was even more difficult.
She couldn’t feel the feeling of being a mother to Luo Juntian. She felt more like an apprentice than a mother. After all, it was difficult to get close to and understand a son who was invincible, calm, and seemingly always had deep thoughts.
But now, she suddenly realized that his so-called nonchalance was just an outward appearance for others to see.
Gu Yuan still felt a chill run down her spine as she thought about what Luo Juntian had just said, as if those needles were pricking her body and drawing her blood.
How did a nine-year-old child endure such a devastating and suffocating situation?
She even wondered, what happened next? A genius born into a family of doctors, with high hopes placed on him by his father, a nine-year-old who could read foreign medical materials, was suddenly unable to touch blood and needles, or even accept anything related to medicine? So he gave up becoming a medical professional and, by a twist of fate, entered the entertainment industry?
Gu Yuan felt heavy-hearted. She thought that perhaps she should have a chance to talk to Luo Sinian and discuss Jun Tian’s problem with him.
Just then, a child’s voice called out, “Mommy, Mommy!”
Before she could react, a small body rushed into her arms and hugged her leg tightly.
“Lan Ting?” Gu Yuan looked at the little guy clinging to her leg with a puzzled expression. Seeing the captivating light in his dark eyes and his sweet smile, she was even more confused. “How did you get here? Did you come by yourself?”
Also, why did he call her “Mom”?
“Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!” Huo Lanting’s voice was loud and childish as he called out “Mommy” three times in one breath before laughing and shouting, “You are my mommy, and I am your son!”
“Lanting, you?” Gu Yuan asked, somewhat helplessly, but mostly with concern. “Does your stomach still hurt? Is it better now?”
“All done, my tummy doesn’t hurt at all anymore!” Huo Lanting said obediently, “Now that I’ve found my mom, all my ailments are cured!”
“Lanting, it’s like this, ‘Mom’ isn’t a name you just call anyone.” Gu Yuan was thinking about how to explain this to Huo Lanting. Perhaps he longed for a mother, and she did indeed pity him, but blood ties were not something to be taken lightly.
“Mom, don’t you want to acknowledge me? But I really am your son!” Huo Lanting was hurt by Gu Yuan’s words. He pouted his little mouth, his cheeks puffed out, “Are you unwilling to acknowledge me because I didn’t win the Crown Star for you? Don’t worry, when I grow up, I will definitely have lots and lots of money, definitely more than Nie Yu. Then I will buy you whatever you want!”
That was a very tempting statement, but—
Just as she was about to explain this to him, she sensed a figure appear in front of her.
When she looked up, Huo Jinchen was standing in front of him.
In the long corridor, a tall man in a well-tailored suit cast a long shadow under the pale corridor lights. His short hair fell perfectly across his forehead, making his features appear even more defined and three-dimensional. In the dead of night, he looked like a grand and simple painting of light and shadow.
This man was calm, so calm that you felt like you were in a forest under a clear blue sky, where the four seasons cycled through spring, summer, autumn and winter, and he was just there calmly looking at you with his dark eyes.
However, facing such a peculiar man, Gu Yuan frowned slightly. She really couldn’t understand this person, let alone the way he was looking at her at this moment, as if… she was his savior?
“Miss Gu,” Huo Jinchen’s voice was cool yet polite, “there is something I would like to discuss with you in person.”
“Oh…please go ahead.” As she said this, Gu Yuan unconsciously straightened her back.
Huo Jinchen exuded an aristocratic air, so much so that you would feel as if he had stepped out of a royal palace. Facing such a noble man, it seems that if you relax even slightly, you won’t be proper in his presence.
However, Huo Jinchen did not say anything; his gaze shifted downwards and landed on Huo Lanting.
Gu Yuan could sense a hint of tenderness in those cool, dark eyes when they fell on Huo Lanting— the tenderness a father shows to his beloved son.
“Miss Gu, twenty-five years ago, you left behind five eggs in this world.” Huo Jinchen began with this.
“Yes…” Gu Yuan was startled, suddenly realizing something, and couldn’t help but look down at Huo Lanting.
Huo Lanting was four years old this year, which was exactly the same age as her last son!
Huo Lanting looked up at Gu Yuan with pleading eyes: “Mom…you don’t recognize me…”
Gu Yuan: “You?”
Her heart suddenly raced, and she abruptly looked up at Huo Jinchen. Could it really be true? What a coincidence?
Huo Jinchen looked at the vivid expression on her face, a faint smile appearing in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He nodded: “It seems so. There is no other person in this world who left behind five eggs twenty-five years ago, right?”
These words carried an unexpected hint of mockery, which was completely at odds with Huo Jinchen’s image.
Gu Yuan seemed somewhat incredulous: “You mean, Lan Ting, he?”
Just as Huo Jinchen was about to speak, he heard a voice say, “Mom, I’ve already verified the DNA.”
As they were talking, Ji Qisen and Nie Yu walked over together. Ji Qisen looked at the little kid clinging to his mother’s leg and said calmly, “By comparing mitochondrial DNA, Lan Ting and I should be brothers from the same mother.”
Mitochondrial DNA could only be inherited from the mother. If two men had the same mitochondrial DNA, it meant that they had genes from the same woman. However, there was no such overlap between him and Huo Lanting’s previous generations. Considering Huo Lanting’s background and his own situation, it could be inferred that they should both be sons of the same mother.
Huo Jinchen’s brow twitched slightly as he looked at Ji Qisen with some surprise. He had thought that to completely confirm the matter, he would need to have Gu Yuan and his son’s DNA compared again, but Ji Qisen had already done a DNA comparison between him and Lan Ting.
Ji Qisen received Huo Jinchen’s questioning gaze, glanced at him, and then looked away.
When Nie Yu became his brother, he wasn’t too surprised. When Luo Juntian became his brother, he wasn’t too surprised either. After all, no matter what, at least they were brothers who could be his brothers.
But Huo Jinchen’s son… This meant that Huo Jinchen, who was only seven years older than him, was actually his younger brother’s father.
Ji Qisen didn’t look at Huo Jinchen anymore, but looked at his mother: “I went with you to see Lanting before, and I pulled out a few strands of Lanting’s hair and compared them with my DNA.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Lanting felt a sharp pain in his scalp and couldn’t help but touch his head.
No wonder, he felt something was wrong right away, he was indeed pulling his hair!
However, after rubbing his head, Huo Lanting forgot his annoyance. He happily took Gu Yuan’s hand and said, “Mom, Mom, did you hear that? I’m your son too! I’m your son! You’re my mom!”
After the initial shock, Gu Yuan slowly digested the fact. She looked down at Huo Lanting, who was clinging to her leg, and at this beautiful little guy, this little thing that melted her heart at first sight, was actually her son.
Gu Yuan was overjoyed. She bent down and hugged him tightly: “Lanting, I never imagined that you would be my son!”
She actually wanted to find her last son, but due to various reasons and considerations, she had to give up for the time being.
Unexpectedly, her last son appeared before her, a little boy who evoked deep pity in her. Fate is so wondrous, and blood ties are so touching.
Gu Yuan almost burst into tears: “Lanting, you’re actually my son!”
Huo Lanting just wanted to be happy: “Mom, Mom, it’s me! It’s me! You’re my mom!”
He has a mother now, Gu Yuan is his mother!
At this moment, he remembered that day in the corridor of the BARARINA auction, watching how Gu Yuan comforted Nie Yu and spoke to him gently. He wanted it so badly, he wanted everything his mother had said to Nie Yu!
He wanted to shout “Mom!” as loudly as possible, so that the whole world would hear that Gu Yuan was his mother! He wanted to call her “Mom!” a hundred times to feel satisfied!
These were such resounding and beautiful words, Huo Lanting couldn’t help but call out again, “Mom!”
His voice was childlike and clear, so sweet it melted your heart.
Gu Yuan hugged the little guy’s chubby face and kissed him hard. Huo Lanting hugged Gu Yuan’s neck and said, “Mommy, Mommy, I love you the most!”
Standing to the side, Huo Jinchen sensed Ji Qisen’s slight hostility towards him, but he didn’t say anything. He simply looked at his son, watching his son’s excited and thrilled expression in Gu Yuan’s arms.
When was the last time he saw him so happy? Huo Jinchen couldn’t remember.
Nie Yu, standing beside him, was completely dumbfounded, staring at everything before him in utter disbelief.
He looked at Gu Yuan, then at Ji Qisen. For some reason, he suddenly felt that his mother had been taken away, and his second brother had also been taken away.
He moved his lower lip, and after a long while, he finally remembered something, lifted his leg, and walked into the ward: “Big brother?”
No, he had to go find his older brother!
