SWNOVELS Chapter 23
The Mysterious Mother and Daughter; a Call from James Kohler
In a residential building in Longjiang City. In a 40-square-meter room.
“Mommy, why are you crying? Do you miss Little Blossom?”
A cute and delicate three-year-old girl on the couch saw her mother crying while staring at the phone so she quickly moved forward to hug her mother’s arm, feeling distressed.
Little Blossom was their cat. After the world changed, Little Blossom changed as well and was commandeered to help the country. This was considered a contribution to the country so the mother and daughter were given a small but well-equipped house. Apart from that, a batch of supplies would also be sent to them every week.
Seeing her mother cry, the little girl immediately assumed that her mother missed Little Blossom.
“Yes, Mom misses Little Blossom.”
The woman was very beautiful and delicate. She looked extremely pitiful when she cried. Her words and actions indicated that she was not from an ordinary family.
She looked away from Gu Changqing on the live broadcast and wiped her tears away before she forced a smile on her face and patted her daughter’s head.
The little girl blinked her big eyes and asked innocently, “Mom, when will I grow up?”
The little girl remembered that her mother once told her that her father would return when she grew up. She had never seen her father before, but she would frequently dream about her mysterious father.
Upon hearing her daughter’s words, the woman subconsciously looked at the man on the live broadcast. For a moment, she was at a loss for words. Finally, she said, “Soon, Yanyan will grow up soon.”
“Will Daddy really come back when I grow up?” the little girl asked with a bright smile on her face.
“Yes, he will.”
The woman held her daughter in her arms as she looked at the man on the live broadcast with a complicated expression on her face.
“Mommy, who is he? I have a good feeling about him,” Gu Yanyan asked with bright eyes.
The woman bit her lip before she said, “I don’t know him either.”
Thud! Thud! Thud!
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
The woman put her daughter down and rose to her feet as she asked, “Who is it?”
“It’s me!”
A woman’s voice rang from outside.
Upon hearing this voice, Gu Yanyan ran to the door happily.
“Mommy, Aunty Wang is here to bring Little Blossom back!”
On the other side of the door, a woman dressed in a tight black suit waited. Seeing Gu Yanyan, she smiled dotingly and said, “Yanyan, did you miss me?”contemporary romance
“Yes! Aunty Wang, where’s Little Blossom?” Gu Yanyan said politely before she looked around the corridor.
“Little Blossom is so big now. It’s waiting for you downstairs. Let’s go. I’ll bring you to see it.”
Wang Xueling bent down and picked Gu Yanyan up before patting her head affectionately.
Lin Yueyao walked out at this moment and called out with a smile, “Sister Wang!”
“Sister Yueyao, have you been well over the past half month?” Wang Xueling nodded and said, “I just came back from a mission with Little Blossom.”
“I’m fine. It’s so dangerous outside. Are you and Little Blossom okay?”
The two women chatted as they walked downstairs.
“It’s just escorting supplies. Moreover, the Divine Runemasters from the Dragon Emperor Organization were with us as well. What could happen? By the way, Little Blossom contributed greatly this time. He helped the team to block the attack of a vicious tier-three wolf. If it were not for Little Blossom, the goods would have been destroyed,” Wang Xueling said with a hint of fear in her eyes.
Wang Xueling was an ordinary Divine Runemaster and did possess armor. Her divine rune was a snow lotus, and she had ice ability. She was now at the late stage of the second rank and was working for the country.
“Is Little Blossom okay?” Lin Yueyao asked with a frown. She had raised the cat for five years after all, and the cat had accompanied her during her most difficult and heartbreaking time.
“Don’t worry, Sister Yueyao. Little Blossom is fine. It’s at the peak of the third tier after all.”
When they finally arrived at the entrance downstairs…
Meow!
A multi-colored cat the size of a minivan meowed happily when it saw Lin Yueyao and Gu Yanyan.
“Wow! Little Blossom, you became even bigger!” Gu Yanyan looked at Little Blossom with her mouth agape. She rubbed her eyes with her small hands, thinking she had seen wrongly. The last time she had seen it, it was only a little bigger than a tiger.
When Wang Xueling put Gu Yanyan down, she quick;y ran to Little Blossom.
Little Blossom lowered her head and nudged Gu Yanyan gently.
“Little Blossom, Mommy cried earlier because she missed you!” Gu Yanyan said seriously as she stroked Little Blossom’s head.
Wang Xueling looked at Lin Yueyao in shock. “What? Sister Yueyao, did you really?”
“This child is talking nonsense!”
Lin Yueyao naturally could not admit it.
“That’s good,” Wang Xueling said. Then, she sighed softly before she continued to say, “Did you watch Boss Gu’s live broadcast earlier? How good would it be if he were willing to become the leader of the Divine Runemaster Alliance?”
Wang Xueling was also a fan of Gu Changqing, the kind that worshiped him to the extreme.
“I did. I was just watching it before you came. He should have his own reason for refusing to be the leader of the alliance…” Lin Yueyao said with a nod. A complicated expression briefly flashed across her delicate and beautiful face.
“I don’t think the live broadcast has ended. I’ll take a look again. You should go and catch up with Little Blossom. After all, her intelligence is much higher than before,” Wang Xueling said before she sat on a bench and brought her phone out to watch the live broadcast.
Lin Yueyao indeed missed Little Blossom. She walked over and rubbed its ears. She said with a smile, “In the future, when you go on missions, you must protect yourself, okay?”
Meow!
Little Blossom nodded.
The mother and daughter continued to play with Little Blossom while Wang Xueling watched the live broadcast.
After a while, Wang Xueling suddenly exclaimed, “Wow! Sister Yueyao, come and have a look! The President of M Country actually called Boss Gu! As expected of Boss Gu! His reputation has spread overseas!”
“Really?”
Lin Yueyao hurriedly walked over and sat next to Wang Xueling.
…
Inside the helicopter.
Gu Changqing listened to the caller’s introduction before he said nonchalantly, “James Kohler? I don’t remember you being the President of M Country before this…”
James Kohler cleared his throat and said, “Well, I’m the President now. Boss Gu, we know the Nine Region Empire is in urgent need of supplies. I’ve already ordered people to send supplies over to you.There are enough resources for two million people for a year.”
Gu Changqing asked lightly, “Free of charge?”
James Kohler chuckled. “Yes. I hope Boss Gu will accept it.”
“Then, it’ll be rude for me to refuse.”
How could Gu Changqing refuse something that was given for free?
“Alright. After I’m done dealing with the mess in the country, I’ll fly over and have a few drinks with you,” James Kohler said.
“Alright.”
“Goodbye,” James Kohler said before ending the call.
Needless to say, there was a commotion in the live broadcast’s room after that conversation.
Gu Changqing signaled Zhao Yuting to turn off the live broadcast.
