Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 537 Gu Juncheng, do you think it's possible...?

"Mommy, Zhuzhu misses Mommy..."

"Mom, are you all better?"

"Zhuzhu, hoohoo, Mommy, it doesn't hurt anymore..."

The baby's warm body pressed tightly against her, its chubby little arms wrapped around her neck, and it breathed on her, the faint scent of milk and the warmth of its breath washing over her face. She felt as if she had melted into that warm breath.

"My precious daughter!" Lin Qingping hugged her daughter, tears welling up instantly.

That deep-seated bond, like a spring, burst forth.

"Mommy, don't cry, Zhuzhu, blow on it." Zhangzhu thought her mother was crying because she was sick and uncomfortable, so she puffed out her cheeks and blew hard on it for her.

Lin Qingping pressed her face tightly against Zhangzhu's, tears streaming down her face.

This meant that Zhangzhu couldn't snort for her, and she got anxious, crying, "Mommy, Zhuzhu, snort for me!"

"My dear, Mommy doesn't hurt, Mommy doesn't need to cry, Mommy doesn't need to..." Lin Qingping smiled and stroked Zhangzhu's soft hair.

Zhangzhu's hair was tied in a small bun, which was messy. When Lin Qingping saw this, she took the bun off and re-tied her hair.

Zhangzhu's eyes were brimming with tears as she looked at her mother with a puzzled expression. Her little hands, still soft and delicate, reached out to wipe her tears. "Mommy, does it hurt? Let me cry?"

Why is Mom crying if she's not in pain?

Lin Qingping then combed her hair with her fingers while saying to her, "Because Mommy wants to have a baby."

Upon hearing this, Zhangzhu's lips trembled, and she was about to cry again. "Zhuzhu misses her mother..."

One sentence caused Lin Qingping to shed large tears.

Seeing that the mother and daughter were crying and wouldn't stop, Gu Juncheng stepped forward and said to Zhangzhu, "Zhangzhu, don't cry. Mom will come home when she gets better."

As soon as Zhangzhu saw him, her chubby finger pointed to her hair, "Daddy, my hair hurts, I want Mommy to comb it—"

She even dragged out the last syllable of her complaint to her mother: "Dad hurt me when he tied my hair."

"Okay, Mom will comb your hair." Lin Qingping sniffed hard, forcing back her tears, and began to comb Zhangzhu's hair.

After the binding was finished, Zhangzhu tilted her head and asked Lin Qingping, "Mommy, is Zhuzhu pretty?"

"Beautiful, our precious pearl is the most beautiful!" Lin Qingping said with a smile through her tears.

Zhangzhu turned to Gu Juncheng proudly and said, "Mom, your hair is beautiful!"

Gu Juncheng then said to her, "Doesn't Daddy's hair look pretty when he combs it?"

Zhangzhu snorted, shook her head vigorously, then buried her head in Lin Qingping's neck and said softly, "Mommy, Zhuzhu misses Mommy, hurry, let's go home..."

"Okay... Mom, let's go home quickly..." Lin Qingping's nose tingled, and she gently hugged her daughter.

Gu Juncheng watched this scene from the side, and his heart ached. What came to mind was the warm daily life of his family of four on the island. After Lin Qingping's surgery and recovery, whether on the island or in the capital, the warmth would remain the same.

Zhangzhu didn't stay in the ward for long.

Even though the little one clung to his mother and refused to leave.

Zhiyuan spent a long time persuading her before she finally left. She was still pouting and looked like she was about to cry, but she held back because she had promised her brother she would be brave.

After Zhangzhu left, Lin Qingping fell silent that afternoon.

He wasn't asleep, but remained very quiet, as if he was thinking about something.

When her second sister asked her, she shook her head and didn't answer.

Gu Juncheng came again that evening.

This time, Lin Qingping did not send him away, but instead beckoned him to sit down by the bed.

"Gu Juncheng," she said thoughtfully, "is Zhangzhu really my daughter?"

Gu Juncheng patiently replied, "Of course."

He even gave her detailed account of when she was born and which hospital she gave birth to, saying, "If you don't believe me, when you're discharged and we go back to the island, I'll take you to the hospital; your hospital records are still there!"

Dr. Cao said that patients might doubt whether what is happening in reality is a hallucination, or they might mistake a hallucination for reality. Does she doubt that the pearl in her palm is real?

Lin Qingping slowly nodded, "I also think it's true, the feeling is too strong, but..."

Her gaze swept over Gu Juncheng, "You're not the biological father of my daughter, are you?"

Gu Juncheng: ...

Second sister: ...
