When he came out of the bathroom, Gao Kan was already half lying on the bed, and I had almost fallen asleep. I carefully climbed into the bed, not wanting to disturb him, but as soon as I pulled back the blanket, he habitually reached out and pulled me into his arms, opening his hazy eyes, and after looking at me for a while, he pursed his lips and gradually formed a familiar, blissful smile. He kissed my forehead, just like when I went to sleep with my beloved doll.

When I heard Gao Kan mentioning his own matters, I had the urge to cry. I pinched his face and complained, "Stop lying to me, if you really thought like that, you wouldn't be so fierce towards me from the start."

Gao Kan raised his hand and placed it next to his ear, "I'm really not lying to you, I swear."

"Then why me?"

"At the beginning, it was my mother who told me to take care of you. At that time, I thought you were the illegitimate daughter she had with some guy outside, but you don't know, although that generation of hers is now an antique, their young private life is actually very messy, I heard that they often don't know who their child's father is, and the man that they slept with last night is the husband of some woman. Hey, why are their eyes so big? "Are you surprised?"

"Hmm …" I was really shocked, I didn't expect Gao Kan to describe his mother in such a way. She was a taboo in the family and couldn't be talked about.

"When I first learned the truth, I was also very surprised. In the past, I always thought men and women were like my home's nanny and driver, in love and married until I was ten years old and found out that my parents each had a lover, and there were even more than one, especially my mother, who rolled on the bed in my childhood with an unfamiliar man, sullying my childhood … You don't know that the feeling of my faith collapsing and shattering is too strong of a shadow in a young man's heart. No matter how much I love her, I can't get rid of the ugly figures of her and those men.

Gao Kan held onto my shoulder, and suddenly tightened his grip, but then let go of me very quickly, as if he was telling a story from another person. His tone of voice was relaxed, and even slightly teased: "— That voice came from the mother who loved me, I can't believe it, the one who called me son, the baby, the one who looked at me from afar, actually called out the name of another man from the mouth of a woman in the Baby, isn't it hateful?"

"..." I didn't know what to say, and just silently hugged Gao Kan tightly. I always thought that he would always be happy to live, even if Han Youya told me about his relationship with Gao Liao, he would at least have a dear mother. But his family is even more broken and deformed than I had imagined.

Or someone like me, who has never had anything before, would have had beautiful fantasies and hopes for this world, for love, and would have rushed forward without a care in the world.

"Actually, since I'm in this circle now and I've seen too many men and women, I don't think that my mother is that bad. But in the heart of a young man, she is really hateful! If she had lived until now, I would not have said those words and would not have done those things. I would have loved her well and let her know that in this world, besides the man who loved her deeply and betrayed her, there was also the son who wanted her to love. Perhaps she would not feel despair for the future. "

"Husband, you are amazing," I said, sighing deeply in my heart. "If I had experienced these things, I might never have believed in love again, but you still love me."

"No, it's because you love me so purely and unreservedly that I believe in love again." Gao Kan smiled emotionally, and lowered his head slightly, staring fixedly into my eyes, as if he was looking for a fleeting little fish in a clear spring, and then asked with a pleading tone of voice, "Wife, promise me, you'll always love this useless me like you promised before. I need your love, very much."

I was moved by his sincerity and nodded solemnly. "Yes."

What Han Youya said was wrong, Gao Kan had not sealed his own heart, he was now completely open to me, and had spread out everything good or bad for me. He told me the chaotic past of his beloved mother to me, and I suddenly had an incomparably deep and great sense of responsibility.

"Wife, you're so nice. I love you." Gao Kan kissed me contentedly. It was very light, pure, and without the slightest hint of lust. When we hugged each other tightly, he didn't rush for me like usual.

I caressed Gao Kan's hair and asked him, "Then do you still hate your mother?"

Gao Kan shook his head: "No, because of you, I don't hate anyone anymore, and that's why I wanted to bring you home on New Year's Eve, including my father. I didn't mean anything else, I just hoped that you could be like me, put down the past, and reconcile with my father. I talked to him, and he has no objection to our marriage. And my family, they also have a choice to support me, so you don't have to worry about my family. "

"Yeah, I talked to your dad about it that night. He mentioned your mom and said he was very guilty about you and wanted to make it up to you." I was really moved by Gao Kan's carefulness. He had helped me remove all the obstacles and difficulties from marrying him that I once thought of.

"So, wife, wait until Christmas, your third birthday, and we'll get married, okay? I know it's a little early for you, but when a man gets to a certain age, he has to get married and have children and start a family, not only for the sake of the stability of our relationship, but also for the sake of our young, healthy, and intelligent children, so that the family can continue to be passed on. "

A healthy, intelligent child.

But in fact, the children we have may have been born with a half-retarded probability, listening to Gao Kan's spirited depiction of the future between us, talking about how we will have a few children, how the boy is as strong and smart as he is, how the girl is as pretty and cute as I am, and how his expectant eyes make it difficult for me to say anything, not wanting to ruin this beautiful atmosphere.

"You won't laugh at me, will you? In fact, people like us, when we reach a certain age, will give up all the prejudices we had towards the world when we were teenagers, accept the sense of honor and responsibility we had towards the family, and want to continue our bloodline, grow our foundation, and be defeated by ourselves, that would be the shame of our life — — see your father, the reason why he was unable to raise his head for the rest of his life is because he was ruined by a woman when he was young. "

I was hesitating on how I should explain that damned blood relation to Gao Kan. Hearing him mention Yi Shouzhuo suddenly, an idea popped up in my mind, so I asked him, "Do you know who that woman is?"

"I don't know, but that woman is definitely not a good person."

Although I had never seen my own mother before, and other than thinking that she was nothing good to me by giving birth to me, Gao Kan's disdainful tone still made me feel a little uncomfortable, so I asked him, "How did you know she was bad? Maybe Yi Shouzhuo did something to punish her? "

"Didn't your father tell you?"

"What?"

"Speaking of which, it's a bit complicated. I heard that the woman is a commercial spy who was sent by someone. Only your father knows the truth. However, what you said is right. Anyone who dares to go against you will not have a good ending. " Gao Kan explained it in simple terms but he did not want to discuss it in detail.

Commercial espionage?

I then understood why Yi Shouzhuo wouldn't tell me about her even at death's door. Maybe he had really loved her, resented her before, and was afraid that the rumors would affect her reputation. Thus, he would rather bear the guilt towards me and bring the secret back to the grave.

"Go to sleep, it's very late." Gao Kan yawned, patted my butt, and said softly: "These two months, I have been in Hollywood accompanying Han Youya in acting, and there is a project of cooperation with SMP that is very important, I have to follow you well, and regarding the matter of marriage, you have to think about it carefully, and then as soon as possible, give me an answer, I will let Lisa arrange a schedule for you for the second half of the year."

"Yes."

"Oh right, and also that 'back to the past' Director Li, I went to see him yesterday. He recovered pretty well, and as compensation, our company will work with him next month. By then, you should be able to see him."

"... You went to see him? " I was surprised.

Apologizing to Li Ao, did that mean that he was letting go of the knot in his heart?

"Un, it's my misunderstanding of him previously, but it has already been resolved. You're right, I should respect your friends and not because of …" I was looking forward to see him mention that half-parent Gao Liao, Gao Kan suddenly stopped and did not continue speaking. She changed the topic and said, "I'm going to the toilet", then pulled off her blanket and got up.

I understood that he didn't want to go on talking about the secret that would make him bear the murderer's name, so I didn't press him. When he felt relieved, he would tell me.

This is good too.

The secret that I found out about Gao Kan tonight, honestly speaking, has really exceeded the acceptable range. If the matter of him bumping into Gao Liao was leaked out by someone, then, how would I face the eyes of the people who looked at him?
