Really, if anyone was to blame, it was that irresponsible scoundrel Xu Ye—the same Xu Ye who let Su Mo bear not one, not two, but three children for him and then vanished like mist.
Perhaps he had been a good soldier. Perhaps he had served his country with honor and accolades. But none of that could erase the undeniable truth: he was a terrible man and an even worse father.
Gu Zi had agreed to let the children attend Xu Sheng's birthday celebration for two reasons. First, because Xu Sheng himself was innocent in all of this. And second—though she'd never admit it aloud—because she was curious. Curious to see what kind of family the illustrious Xu clan really was.
But now that she had seen it all with her own eyes, she only felt a deeper, heavier ache for Su Mo. This sprawling mansion—so vast it had corridors that echoed with every footstep—wasn't big enough for Su Mo and her three children?
