”Unload the bones and kill the donkeys.” Han Ke Peng cursed in anger and walked out of the sickroom.

Han Ke Peng staggered. What the hell? Why did he dig such a pit for himself?

For some reason, she did not dare look at Gu Xi Jue, nor did she dare meet his gaze.

”Why is Xiao Ze sighing?” Xia Lan asked, puzzled.

Xiao Ze pouted and said, ”No wonder you, beautiful aunt, are not my mother. You already have a baby.”

”How could that be? Didn't auntie like you a lot?” Xia Lan knew that the little guy was unhappy and immediately consoled him.

”Really?” Xiao Ze asked in surprise.

”Yes.”

”Then can you be my mother?” Xiao Ze returned to his state of high spirits.

To him, he did not know what kind of ceremony and process Xia Lan had to be his mother. He only knew that he liked his beautiful aunt, that the beautiful aunt had the smell of his mother on her, and it was that simple.

Because Gu Xi Jue was present, Xia Lan was too embarrassed to speak. Normally, she would be able to coax him when he was alone with his and Xiao Ze.

Even though she said that she was willing, she was too one-sided. She didn't know if it would be good or bad for her. If she said she wasn't willing, what qualifications did she have to reject Gu Xi Jue?

”Gu Xiao Ze, stop messing around.” Gu Xi Jue's voice was so cold that it had no temperature, and the warning was obvious.

”Oh!” Xiao Ze unhappily nodded, but he was well-behaved and did not continue asking.

Within the ward, an awkward anger overwhelmed her. No one spoke, and one could even hear the breathing of others.

Finally, it was Xiao Ze who could not take it anymore, and asked again: ”Where's your baby, why haven't I seen him before?”

When he mentioned her baby, Xia Lan's eyes reddened and became moist: ”She went to heaven.”

Hearing that, Gu Xi Jue looked over and saw her sorrowful expression. He seemed to have understood something, and there seemed to be a lot of things he didn't understand, which piqued his curiosity.

”Heaven? ”Why go there, is it beautiful?” Xiao Ze did not know what the heavens meant. Although he did not have a mother, he had grown up in a state of carefree anger. He did not know anything about life and death.

”Hmm, it's so beautiful. There's no pain, no calculation, no beauty.” As Xia Lan said this, he couldn't help but let a stream of tears drop down.

She thought she could hold it in, or at least not show any emotions in front of outsiders.

Seeing Xia Lan crying, Xiao Ze immediately rushed over and used her small hands to wipe her tears. With a teary voice, she said, ”Beautiful auntie, don't cry.”

”Mm, I won't cry, I won't cry, and you won't cry either.” Although he said this, the more he cried, the fiercer he became. It was as if he was going to burst into tears at any moment.

Xiao Ze panicked and turned his head to ask anxiously, ”Father, what do we do? The beautiful auntie seems to be missing her child.”

This problem was difficult for Gu Xi Jue. He could solve anything but this problem.

He was not good at comforting others.

Afraid that Xiao Ze would cry with her, Xia Lan tried his best to restrain the grief in his heart. After a while, he finally stopped crying.

”Auntie is fine, Auntie only has sore eyes.” Xia Lan comforted Xiao Ze. She had known this child for so long, before, he had always cried and made a lot of noise. This time, he cried with her.
