C15 You Love Me the Most!

He had never realized just how much he enjoyed the company of children.

The Gu family's circle of relatives and friends wasn't devoid of kids.

In the past, he would simply be a bit more patient when around them. But today was different; he couldn't contain his emotions. His mind was incessantly chanting three words: Spoil them! Spoil them! Spoil them!

Spoil them to the skies.

Bestow upon them the very best of everything he had.

Love them.

Protect them.

Ensure that no one dares to bully them.

Prevent them from getting hurt or upset. Ensure that they're healthy and happy every day, with constant smiles on their faces...

He...

He must be bewitched...

Before climbing into the car, Tang Xiaoci blew Gu Shimu one more kiss, then took his seat next to his brother in the back.

The car started up and swiftly joined the flow of traffic.

Tang Xiaoci murmured, "Mom, I really like Mr. Gu."

Tang Xiaochu glanced at Tang Xiaoci and echoed, "Me too."

Xiaoci said, "Mr. Gu is even nicer than our cousin uncles. His smile is so warm, just like the sun."

Xiaochu pursed his lips, "The cousin uncles are too indulgent with Hsing Peizhen and Tang Jinyi."

"You're right," Xiaoci said sadly, his voice growing fainter, "Even though the cousin uncles are nice to us, in their hearts, Hsing Peizhen and Tang Jinyi matter more. Whenever they bully Mom, the cousin uncles always take their side..."

Aside from him and his brother, no one loved their mother with all their heart.

To everyone else, their mother was always second best.

Their mother deserved so much better.

"Exactly," Xiaochu huffed, "But it's okay, Mom, don't be sad. Xiaoci and I will always love you the most! You're the most important person to us, Mom. In our hearts, no one comes close to you!"

"Yeah!" Xiaoci leapt from his seat, wriggling through the gap between the driver and passenger seats, and planted a big kiss on Tang Yexi's cheek, his eyes curved in a smile, "Mom, brother and I love you the most, and we always will!"

No one loved their mother, but that was of no consequence.

Her sons adored her!

They would soon grow into the strongest and most capable men.

Should anyone dare to bully their mother, they would fiercely defend her!

No one would ever think to bully their mother again!

Tang Yexi felt a twinge in her nose and her eyes began to well up.

Fighting back tears, she smiled, "Good, Mommy loves you the most! Xiaoci, go back to your seat and buckle up. Staying unbuckled is too dangerous!"

"Okay, Mom!" Tang Xiaoci gave her another kiss on the cheek and returned to his seat, where he dutifully fastened his seat belt.

Tang Yexi glanced at him in the rearview mirror. Once she saw that he was securely buckled in, she felt at ease.

She focused on the road ahead, her hands firmly on the steering wheel, her heart brimming with happiness and emotion.

Before her sons were born, she considered herself quite unfortunate.

But with their arrival, she transformed into the luckiest woman in the world.

Her sons were fate's way of making amends.

They were her angels, her everything.

In this lifetime, nothing but death could tear her away from her sons.

And if anyone dared to harm her boys, she would risk everything to protect them!

Half an hour later, she arrived with her children at the apartment she was temporarily renting.

Having only been back in Night Capital for a few days, she hadn't had the chance to purchase a house.

However, she was actively house-hunting, intent on buying a place where she and her children could settle down and build a life together.
