Gu Xingxi nodded with a subtle expression on his face, it was mixed with shock and sensation.

If he had some precautions and doubts about Xia Xingcheng before, after what happened today, he would slave for her his entire life.

Gu Xingxi gathered his thoughts and quickly smiled to comfort Gu Yaoxi: "OK, Yaoxi, have a good rest now. Don't think about anything, leave the rest to me."

Gu Yaoxi nodded obediently, and then she closed her eyes, but the doctor's words were still in her mind.

Gu Xingxi stayed up all night after his sister fell asleep. He just took out the script of years before and read it to revisit what he had almost given up.

He sworn that he would come back again, and he would succeed, either for himself or for Xia Xingcheng!

In fact, after paying for the operation, Xia Xingcheng had almost no money left. She became poor.

That kind of expense drained her dry almost. It was fair to say that she had no money when she went abroad. Her money was saved up by her little by little while she was abroad.

She was going to leave the money to Bao as educational fund. But when she saw that lovely girl today, she couldn't turn a blind eye.

It was a matter of life and death. Money could be earned again, but human life could not. Without life, there would be nothing.

Moreover, she intended to let them pay her back. She was still very optimistic about the potential of Gu Xingxi. As long as he works hard, there would be no problem for him to earn the money back within a year.

Thinking of that, Xia Xingcheng could not help but feel very happy. After all, it would be lovely to see that girl's healthy appearance.

Xia Xingcheng left the hospital and went to the kindergarten to take Bao home.

Today was Bao's first day at kindergarten. If she was late, it would be a big deal. Bao would certainly be angry.

Xia Xingcheng did not expect Sheng Yeting to come and pick up Bao as well, but she saw a familiar car when she got off.

A Passat? Sheng Yeting was here?

Xia Xingcheng was stunned a little. Before she had time to think it over, that car gently stoped in front of her. The people in the car got off elegantly.

"How come you are here?" Xia Xingcheng asked questioningly. Sheng Yeting's action really surprised her.

Sheng Yeting raised his eyebrows, looked at her from head to toe, and snorted noncommittally. It seemed like he was in a good mood.

In fact, he did not have time to come originally, but Chen Ma called him especially to tell him that it was Bao's first day at kindergarten and he should come to encourage Bao. So Sheng Yeting put his work aside temporarily and came.

Xia Xingcheng was puzzled by Sheng Yeting's behavior. As she was about to ask him that if he was busy recently, Bao ran out of the gate at full speed.

"Daddy, mommy, you're here."

Bao was running with a face full of joy. He ran directly to Sheng Yeting and hugged his thigh.

"Yeah, it is your first day; of course I'm here."

Sheng Yeting nodded, squatted down and picked Bao up in his arms directly. Then he turned around and got into the car.

Looking at those two in the car, Xia Xingcheng couldn't help but feel a little bit lost. She couldn't help but ask herself was this the son she gave birth to? Why did they looked more like a real family?

Even with this thought, Xia Xingcheng slipped into the car quickly and grabbed Bao into her arms.

Sheng Yeting suddenly felt empty in his hands. Seeing the expression on Xia Xingcheng's face, Sheng Yeting could not help but chuckle.

This woman, was she jealous of him?

Feeling Bao's movement in her arms, Xia Xingcheng knew Bao had a great time today, so she asked: "Bao, tell me. Did you get along with your classmates at kindergarten today? Did you bully them?"

Hearing his mother's words, Bao pouted in grievance: "Mommy, I was very good. I didn't bully them, they all liked me very much."

"Mommy, look, these are gifts from my classmates."

Bao opened his backpack, and poured out all the gifts inside.

Xia Xingcheng glanced at them, they were all pink candies, small cakes, chocolates, that sort of things. The corner of her mouth twitched a little: "They must be from girls, right?"

Bao nodded honestly: "Yes, they are all from pretty girls. There were more of them actually, but my backpack is not big enough, so I just took back some of mommy's favorite."

Xia Xingcheng was so touched after hearing this, she immediately kissed Bao on his face.

All the effort to raise him did not go to waste. He was just a little kid and he already knew to be filial to his mommy. And Bao was really popular everywhere he went, thanks to his handsome little face.

Thinking of that, Xia Xingcheng stared at Bao's face closely. Bao's facial features did not look like her very much. He must looked like his birth father.

This was the only silver lightning. Thank god the man she got drunk and slept with was not ugly!

Sheng Yeting was watching them closely and did not say much. He was just watching their interaction, and was inexplicably touched.

Sheng Yeting couldn't help but chuckle on the inside. He felt that he had been abnormal since he met the mother and son.

In a short moment, they arrived home. Chen Ma saw Bao was back, immediately embrace Bao happily: "Bao, I've missed you so much. Had you been naughty today?"

Bao saw Chen Ma so happy that he was pleased. He also grabbed a lot of candy from his backpack and handed them to Chen Ma.

"Nana Chen, I saved these for you. Have a taste."

Chen Ma was even happier to receive them. Bao had really bought everyone.

Sheng Yeting seemed to be really busy. Just after dinner, he went in and hid in his study to deal with business. Bao was playing by himself happily in the living room. Xia Xingcheng was sitting beside Bao.

Xia Xingcheng was on her computer, making future training plans for Gu Xingxi and trying to find a way to make Gu Xingxi reappear in public.

These two issues were Xia Xingcheng's priority. If she didn't make some changes, things won't get better.

If she were to sit still and do nothing, they would both be starved to death. She couldn't let that happen.

Xia Xingcheng was busy working till late night, Bao was too sleepy to wait for her. Finally Bao went back to his room and went to sleep alone.

Bao did not disturb his mother, he knew she was busy working, trying to earn money to raise him. So Bao was always very independent.

Xia Xingcheng worked so hard. She was so sleepy, and finally she fell asleep on the sofa in the living room unconsciously.

When Sheng Yeting finished his work and went downstairs, he saw such a scene. Xia Xingcheng was sleeping with her eyes closed, looking beautifully. The warm orange light seemed to plate her body with a layer of light. She looked so demure and graceful like she did not belong to this mortal world.
