She had once felt that time was very long, especially when she recalled the bitterness, suffering and pain she would feel in the future when she was alone. She had always hoped that time would pass faster, causing the painful wounds to scab, weakening her irresistible longing, and that familiar face to become blurry??
However, as the giant wheel of time slowly moved forward, and it was finally the day that she felt was long enough, she realized that time had flown by in a blink of an eye.
She suddenly felt that if only she could walk a little slower, then the past would not feel so far away, so far away that she could feel that it was a dream she had had, as if it had never happened.
"Knock, knock ~ ~ ~"
The office door was knocked gently from outside.
Gu Qingyou's train of thoughts was pulled back, she knew that the one knocking on the door was her assistant, but she did not turn her head around, her gaze was still fixated on the street outside the window, and she said softly, "Come in."
You Li was already used to seeing this scene. His boss was dressed in black business attire and leaning on his desk, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, he quietly watched the scenery outside the window.
She seemed preoccupied, but every time you told her something, she reacted quickly, as if her mind had been preoccupied with her work.
It was not unexpected at the moment, when You Li placed the two documents on the table, Gu Qingyou had already turned around, her calm and indifferent face no longer had any traces of revealing her thoughts.
She placed the coffee on the table and picked up one of the two documents. She flipped it open and cast her solemn gaze on it. Iverson still doesn't want to settle things out of court? "
"This is a letter from Iverson's attorney. Iverson insisted on letting the court decide the verdict, he felt that he would definitely get custody of the child." You Li's Chinese was not very standard, but it was very fast.
Gu Qingyou closed the document and sighed softly. I tried to dissuade Beth from going to court and going out with Iverson because I didn't want her to see her parents face off in court..."Since Iverson doesn't care about the child's opinions, let's go to court. I'm sure I can help Beth win this case."
"Yes."
You Li saw that Gu Qingyou did not look at the second document, it was a new case she had accepted today, but had placed the second document into the Business Packs instead. As if preparing to leave the office, You Li asked with concern, "Lawyer Gu, why are you coming home so early today?"
Gu Qingyou said with a slight smile, "Mn, today is my son's birthday, I want to go home early to surprise him."
Gu Qingyou had been working in this private law firm for three years, and always got to work on time.
Gu Qingyou took a cab to the store she reserved for him. When the shop manager saw her, he immediately took an exquisite box and brought it to the table, smiling, "Miss Gu is really considerate, this Di Yue 3. 5 Tong Remote Control Aircraft is almost sold out in the market already. If you didn't ask me to pay a high price to buy it for you, I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to find one like this!"
Gu Qingyou took the gift box. It was hard to hide her joy as she thanked the foreign shop manager with his fluent English."Thank you for helping me find it. This will be my best gift to my son this year."
The foreign shop manager blew Gu Qingyou a kiss, indicating that he did not need to thank him.
Gu Qingyou then took the gift and left the gift shop satisfied.
After getting a taxi, Gu Qingyou went straight home.
Thinking about how the brat would be surprised to see this gift later, Gu Qingyou felt very satisfied.
She remembered how, a month ago, she had come out of the bathroom after taking a shower and found the kid already sitting on the sofa, swinging his short legs and waiting for her.
She was about to walk towards the kid when the kid slipped off the sofa and ran towards her. Then he wrapped his arms around her.
"Mommy, why don't you buy me a Remote Control Aircraft?"
She was curious why the child suddenly wanted a Remote Control Aircraft, as she looked at his son's childish face lovingly, she patiently asked: "Mu Mu, why would you suddenly want a Remote Control Aircraft?"
"On the lawn behind our house, I saw Klass's father teaching him how to play Remote Control Aircraft in the afternoon... Mommy, I want to play too."
"But you are so young, you don't know how to play Remote Control Aircraft."
"..." Mommy can teach me."
"Mommy doesn't know how to play. You know Mommy's never been able to do anything mechanical."
"Mommy is so stupid, can't you let Klass's dad teach me... Uncle Klass is very good."
In the end, she could not resist the little guy's coaxing, so she agreed.
But the problem was, the Remote Control Aircraft that Klass was playing on was a limited number of English toy brands and could not be bought with money. In the end, she spent a week interrogating all the toy stores in London and searched all the online shopping websites, but was unable to find it. However, the little brat only wanted that one, and due to not being able to buy one, the little brat was still very disappointed.
She wanted to make a promise to the kid, so no matter how much time it took, even if it was a little more expensive, the owner of the toy store had to buy one for me.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for more than a month, the owner of the toy store called her two days ago saying that he had already bought it.
She was too happy because she could use the Remote Control Aircraft as a birthday present for this brat.
Although she would sometimes complain about the heavens, she was still grateful that the heavens hadn't forgotten to bless her.
Gu Qingyou gazed at the exquisite gift box, and could not wait to return home and see the little brat.
Gu Qingyou rented a house to live in the outskirts of London.
The house was white, with green grass in front and back, and the neighbors got along well.
Sitting on the green lawn in the afternoon of the day off, watching the kid play with the kids next door, was the happiest moment she had ever felt.
When Gu Qingyou returned home, the brat was playing on the lawn in the shade of the tree. It was summer, and the brat was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and black pants.
She was standing in front of the door. She should have walked over and hugged him as she usually did, but for some reason, she stopped in her tracks and looked at the child lovingly.
Aunt Shu opened the white door and saw Gu Qingyou carrying a gift box and a Business Packs, but did not enter the room. She did not carry the brat either.
Gu Qingyou regained her senses after hearing Aunt Shu's voice. A light smile appeared on her face, and she turned around to enter the house.
Aunt Shu followed him into the house. Seeing Gu Qingyou's present on the table, she asked secretly, "What did you buy for your child?"
"Guess?"
The Aunt Shu laughed as she looked at Gu Qingyou's mysterious appearance, "I won't be guessing, I'll know in a while?? "However, you should hurry up and fix up the lawn. I've already inflated the balloon??"
"Alright, I'll go now."
In fact, Gu Qingyou was prepared to give the little brat a huge surprise, and that would be inviting all the kids next door to attend tonight's birthday party.
Every time she saw this little brat having fun at a party, she would think of having a party like this at home. Therefore, she had already discussed it with Aunt Shu yesterday, and she was responsible for the arrangements for today's gathering, while Aunt Shu prepared to treat the food of the guests.
Unavoidably, the little brat found out and ruined the surprise in advance. Gu Qingyou chose to hold the gathering on the lawn at the back of the house.
After she finished decorating the lawn, the sky had already darkened, so Gu Qingyou came to the front of the house on the lawn.
The kid was drawing with a crayon and was very focused.
Gu Qingyou squatted in front of the kid's drawing paper. The drawing style was very young, but it was clear that the kid was drawing the scenery here, and the color almost matched up with reality.
Gu Qingyou rubbed the brat's head and said gently, "It's time to eat, Mu Mu."
"Mummy!" The kid raised his eyes and looked at his young mother. Mommy, why is my name Mu Mu? "
"Hmm?" Gu Qingyou obviously did not think that the child would suddenly mention the name.
"Because all the other kids have different names, like Chris, Betty, Molly, Moore... They all have several words in their names, and some of their names are even very long. But why am I only called 'Mu Mu'? "
Gu Qingyou laughed lightly and explained in a serious tone, "Because Mom only gave Mu Mu the word Mu!"
"Why?" "This brat really doesn't understand." The brat really didn't understand. Why didn't Mommy give me a longer name? "
"Because Mu Mu is Chinese, Chinese people's names are not as long as foreigners."
"Oh." The kid nodded as if he understood.
Gu Qingyou curiously asked, "Why did Mu Mu suddenly think of discussing names with Mommy?"
After rolling up the drawing paper, he then looked at his mother, "Today, teacher is bringing us to other schools to make friends. Every child has their name written on the white note, but there is a little Chinese friend who is very curious about my name, 'Mu Mu'. She said that I don't have a surname?"
Gu Qingyou helped the brat carry the crayons box and drawing paper, held onto the kid's hand, and said with a tender voice, "Didn't Mommy tell you before? You were born in England, but your mother was not English, so when you were ten you would go to China to check in... Right now, your name is' Mu Mu '."
"Mommy, what is my surname?" The kid felt that he had to figure this out, because he wouldn't be embarrassed about not having a family name in the future.
"Your surname is Gu??"
"Surnamed Gu, do I have the same surname as Mommy?"
"Yeah, if you don't have the Mummy surname, who do you have the surname with?" Gu Qingyou said while smiling as she looked at her son's conflicted little face.
"But aren't others supposed to follow Dad's surname?" "This brat is even more confused now." Mommy, why don't I have a daddy? "
