It is said that men who get married the first time are worth diamonds and divorcés are worth peanuts. That was why she chose to leave the t.i.tle of Mrs Gu behind.

Though she was aware that in Mr Gu’s mind, he didn’t give a d.a.m.n about being a bachelor or divorce, but ever since they had met, he was the one protecting her all along. She had limited capabilities and didn’t have much to give him in return, she decided that this would be her final gift to him.

Hearing her words, Gu Mohan got down the stairs and stretched out his muscular arm, pulling Tang Mo’er into his embrace. He planted a kiss on her silky hair and whispered, “It’s a quick procedure to get a new ident.i.ty card, we shall come back tomorrow.”

Tang Mo’er looped her arms around his trim waist, burying her pale face in his chest. She shut her eyes. “Mr Gu, I’m sorry, I can’t accompany you in this lifelong journey.”

Gu Mohan held her narrow waist tightly without relent, he couldn’t help but want to hug her so tightly that she would fuse into his blood and bones. He wanted to become one with her. “Mo’er, be good. You’ve not allowed to spout such nonsense again, we’ll come back again tomorrow!”

“Mr Gu,” Tang Mo’er said smilingly, “How about this, when I fully recover, I’ll come over and register our marriage. If I don’t recover, you’re not allowed to forget about me even after you marry another Mrs Gu in the future. I want you to remember that I’m the one who left behind the t.i.tle of Mrs Gu, I want you to… cherish me forever.”

Gu Mohan’s eyes were bloodshot, he burrowed his face in her delicate neck. “Mo’er, don’t be afraid, we’re not facing the end of our journey yet. Don’t lose hope, I’ll definitely save your life. I’ll be sure to find a way to save your life. n.o.body can take you away from me.”

He’d be sure to find a way to save her life, he wouldn’t be willing to compromise for anything less than her full recovery.

Tang Mo’er took in his clean, masculine body scent before pus.h.i.+ng him away. She ran her fingertips over his handsome face. She wasn’t able to see all this while and she hadn’t taken taken a good look at his face. He was still as good looking and charming as always, she couldn’t help but fall for him again. “Mr Gu, do you still remember your vow during your proposal? Before there’s an eventual end to humanity, we would never be apart. As long as I’m alive, we will never part ways.”

Gu Mohan stretched out his bony fingers and pulled her hand over, holding it tightly. He looked right into her watery eyes and questioned her, “Mo’er, will you… forget about me?”

He chose to ask her that question after all.

Would she forget about him?

She had forgotten the entire world, with the exception of him.

He was afraid, so afraid that she would eventually forget about him too.

Tang Mo’er was trying her best to engrave his face deep in her memory. She wanted to keep him inside her heart forever, so that his presence would never be diminished no matter how much time pa.s.sed.

“Mr Gu, I’ll never forget about you, it’ll never happen in this lifetime.”

She made a pledge, swearing her never-ending promise to him.

Gu Mohan held her in his arms again, without relent. “Mo’er, you must not forget your Mr Gu, you must not…”

In the Champagne Apartments.

Tang Mo’er had returned to her bedroom to have a nap, she felt her energy levels depleting rapidly and needed to have a good sleep.

In the study room, Gu Mohan had one hand in his trouser pocket and the other was holding on to his cell phone. The pharmacology research lab had phoned him. “President, we’re not capable of developing an antidote that is able to expel the love pea poison at this stage.”

Gu Mohan pursed his thin lips. “I’ve got it, continue with your research.”

He hung up the phone.

Knock knock. Yan Dong’s voice could be heard from outside. “President.”

Gu Mohan placed his cell phone back in his trouser pocket before answering, “Come in.”

Yan Dong entered the room and placed the doc.u.ments on the desk. “President, I’ve investigated the matter you’ve entrusted me with.”

Gu Mohan’s deep and narrow eyes flickered, he stretched his long legs open and arrived beside the desk, flipping through the set of doc.u.ments with his slender fingers.

“President, I’ve had some investigators check on the hospital that Lin Xuanji gave birth in 21 years ago. When Lin Xuanji went into labor back then, Qin Yawen coincidentally went into labor in that same hospital and gave birth to a baby girl.”

“But I sense something fishy, Qin Yawen’s childbirth records were intentionally erased. Moreover, someone tried to cover things up but it only made the issue more conspicuous. Qin Yawen’s childbirth records were altered to show that it was at a random hospital in Karghalik.”

Gu Mohan pursed his lips. “Have you found out who’s behind all of it?”

“I’ve found the culprit, it is… Madam.”

Huo Yanmei.

Gu Mohan facial expression was still the same, he didn’t have much of a reaction even after finding out the truth. He was sure that his mother would definitely have something to do with it ever since he tested the waters with her at the hospital previously. He drew his brows together. “Lu Jinwen had absolute control over the entire Capital back then. When Lin Xuanji was in labor, he had closed off the entire hospital, ensuring that people were only allowed to enter and weren’t allowed to exit. How could it be possible that my mother had pulled off such an intricate plan, right under his nose?”

21 years ago, the Gu family wasn’t that powerful in the Capital yet. He just wasn’t convinced that his mother would be able to single-handedly fool a tough character like Lu Jinwen.

Yan Dong nodded his head in agreement. “President, just as you’ve expected, there’s one other person involved in the operation, other than Madam.”

Gu Mohan lifted his eyes and his gaze landed on Yan Dong. He muttered a name, “Lin Xuanji.”

He wasn’t confirming it with Yan Dong but rather giving a definite answer.

Only Lin Xuanji would have the ability to pull off such an operation right under Lu Jinwen’s nose.

Yan Dong nodded. “Yes, Lin Xuanji was collaborating with Madam.”

Gu Mohan returned the doc.u.ment to its cover page and tapped his slender fingers on the surface of the desk. It made some rhythmic sounds, he was in deep thought.

Why would they choose to do that?

“President, this is a photograph of Lin Xuanji.” Yan Dong placed a photograph on the desk, right beside Gu Mohan’s hand. “There’s an uncanny resemblance between Lin Xuanji and Young Madam.”

Gu Mohan lowered his eyes, taking a glimpse of Lin Xuanji’s portrait, a sardonic smile hinted at the edge of his lips. “Mo’er is Lin Xuanji’s daughter, Lu Qi’er is Qin Yawen’s daughter. The two girls were swapped, Tang Hai and Qin Yawen also played a part in the operation. I just couldn’t figure out the reason behind Lin Xuanji’s decision, why would she choose to swap her daughter?”

Since even the sagacious Gu Mohan couldn’t figure out why, Yan Dong obviously didn’t bother to waste his precious brain cell wracking his brain. “President, Lu Jinwen’s love triangle with the Lin sisters was always rumor in the Capital. No one knew exactly who was Lu Jinwen’s true love, was it Lin Xuanyin or Lin Xuanji? My guess is that there’s no definite answer to Lin Xuanji’s decision after giving birth. The possibilities are simply endless.”

“The matter of utmost importance now would be that Young Madam is the biological daughter of Lu Jinwen, she is the real treasured daughter of the Lu family. Lu Qi’er is merely an imposter. Qin Yawen even resorted to such extreme measures to protect her daughter’s treasured status. She’s truly evil, even wanting to ruin Young Madam’s appearance, we should help Young Madam regain her rightful status as soon as possible!”

Gu Mohan was deep in thought, he raised a good-looking brow and narrowed his eyes, the fine lines around his eye area were all visible. He was evidently pleased after learning of such an outcome, a voice resounded in his ears repeatedly—-

Young Madam is the real treasured daughter of the Lu family.

21 years ago, he was attracted to a newborn baby girl at a hospital in the Capital. Her tiny hands maintained firm grip on his index finger, refusing to loosen her grip. She puckered her lips and smiled brightly. She had such a sweet smile.

It was love at first sight.
