C14 You Are Very Beautiful!

He feared that if he kept listening, he wouldn't just struggle to control the twitch in the corner of his mouth; he'd lose control of his entire facial expression.

Tang Yexi was at a loss for words.

To those unfamiliar with her, her delicate appearance might suggest fragility.

But how could Gu Shimu, having just sparred with her, accuse her of being weak?

Or, in his eyes, was anyone who couldn't best him considered fragile?

If so, she admittedly fit the bill.

After all, she had been defeated by him!

She didn't want to fixate on this issue. Turning to face Gu Shimu, she stated firmly, "Xiaochu and Xiaoci are my sons, not yours! Whether they are my biological children or not, they are mine alone!"

"I understand," Gu Shimu replied with a hint of a smile. "I get that they mean the world to you. Don't worry about me taking them away. I'm not that despicable."

For five years, it had been just the mother and her two sons.

Tang Yexi had devoted her heart and soul to raising them.

How low would he have to be to take someone's sons and tear apart their family?

He wouldn't do such a thing.

The most he would do... well, perhaps bring the three of them home together.

That way, there would be no need for separation, right?

Tang Yexi gazed intently at Gu Shimu.

She couldn't detect any sign of deceit on his face.

He was incredibly handsome, the most striking man she had ever encountered.

Beyond his looks, he exuded an air of elegance, nobility, and superiority that made it clear he was no ordinary man.

With the grace of a prince and the dignity of an emperor, his every word and action commanded respect and belief.

This man seemed trustworthy.

She let out a silent sigh of relief, smiled at Gu Shimu, and said, "Thank you."

She was stunningly beautiful.

Her smile bloomed like a hundred flowers, dazzling the moment.

Even Gu Shimu, accustomed to beauty, was momentarily taken aback by her radiant smile.

His smile grew wider as he responded, "You're welcome. It was the least I could do."

He cast a glance at the Tang family members writhing on the ground and said, "Take the kids and get out of here first. I'll handle the rest."

Anyone who dared to insult his son by calling him a bastard, whether they were blood relatives or not, wouldn't leave prison without a scratch!

Tang Yexi nodded her thanks, then, holding each of her sons by the hand, she walked toward her red Cayenne.

Tang Xiaoci, his small hand in Tang Yexi's grasp, was nearing the car when he suddenly turned to look back at Gu Shimu.

Gu Shimu, who had been watching them depart, caught Tang Xiaoci's gaze and returned it with a tender smile.

Gu Qiuyu, who had just finished a phone call, turned around to find Gu Shimu smiling so softly. His hand shook, and he nearly dropped his phone, which he hadn't yet put away.

Goodness gracious!

His young master could actually smile that warmly.

It was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight!

He was so tempted to snap a photo!

But... considering his own safety, he thought better of it.

After all, his young master wasn't that gentle with just anyone.

When Tang Xiaoci caught Gu Shimu's gentle smile, he pressed his pale, delicate hand to his rosy, chubby mouth and then stretched it out toward Gu Shimu, blowing him a big, air kiss.

Watching his adorably charming little face, Gu Shimu felt his heart turn to mush.

In that moment, he was struck by a sudden urge... No matter if Tang Xiaochu and Tang Xiaoci were his biological children or not, he was going to take those two kids home with him!
