"They gave birth to me and failed to fulfill their responsibilities and obligations for a day. However, you have accompanied me and taken care of me for so many years. To me, you are my closest relatives and I should be grateful."
"Bloodline is just the hub of relationships. Being born without children is nothing like family. In this world, there are things more valuable than bloodline. In my opinion, my real family is you."
Mu Ning looked at him tenderly, "Uncle Gu, I have figured it out. My life now is pretty good and carefree. I should cherish the present and protect the people who are important to me."
Gu Zhiyin's cold and empty heart became warm and bright as a ray of sunshine fell into her words.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, breathing heavily, "If they come to you and want you to go home, will you go with them?"
Mu Ning held his cold hand and said, "Either Uncle Gu comes with me to meet them, or... let's not talk about it."
Gu Zhiyin felt happy and bitter when he heard her words.
How could he go to meet him?
He can't even get out of this villa.
"What does it mean to avoid discussion?" he asked nervously.
Mu Ning rushed forward and hugged him, "I will stay with you."
"I am committed to you in this life, and no one can stop us from being together."
"Not even biological parents." She said firmly.
Gu Zhiyin was stunned for a long time unexpectedly, and his eyes gradually became moist, "Yeah."
Swallowing the emotion in his throat, he picked her up and placed her on his lap.
"What are you doing? If this doesn't work, I will crush your legs." Mu Ning hurriedly tried to get up from him.
Gu Zhiyin held her down and said, "Ning Ning is very light and will not be crushed."
Mu Ning still wanted to struggle.
"Don't move, let me hold you."
Gu Zhiyin hugged her waist and pressed his face into her arms.
He investigated the family where Ning Ning was born. If he dug a little further, he could find Ning Ning's biological parents.
He tested her with what happened twelve years ago, but he didn't expect to get such an answer from her.
Ning Ning is willing to give up looking for her parents for him.
And he was willing to endure criticism and pressure just to protect a person like him.
Gu Zhiyin's heart felt warm and astringent. Ning Ning gave up so much for him, how could he not love her well.
He only wants to do one thing for the rest of his life, which is to give her happiness.
"Ning Ning, after the re-examination tomorrow, let's go get the certificate."
Mu Ning was surprised, "Oh...then what should I bring?"
"Your household registration book is with me, have you forgotten it?"
Mu Ning scratched his head, "Is it that simple?"
Gu Zhiyin smiled, "How difficult do you think it is?"
Mu Ning muttered, "If I had known it was so easy, I would have deceived you while you couldn't see it."
"...Have you been fooling me a lot during this time?"
"Uh, no, I just tried different styles of clothes on you..."
They also added medicine to his food, accidentally cut his hair, and made him drink tap water once...
There are too many.
Gu Zhiyin thought about the furry suit he wore last time. She said it was pajamas, and she frowned, "Don't tell me those are women's clothes."
"Ah, how did you guess it?"
"..."
"Uncle Gu, my hands just dug the soil and made fertilizer without washing my hands."
"..."
No wonder his palm felt so rough when he touched her!
It turns out to be chemical fertilizers and soil!
Seeing the uncomfortable look on his face, Mu Ning knew that he disliked it.
Kissed him on the cheek.
"Anyway, your hands are dirty. Come and plant flowers with me."
Gu Zhiyin's face looked better, and he asked her warmly, "What kind of flowers did you plant?"
"Sunflower."
"..."
"From now on, when we eat melon seeds while watching movies, we don't have to go out to buy them. Oh, by the way, I also planted broccoli. Eat more to fight cancer."
"..."
Fortunately, he couldn't see it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to help but ask someone to repair the yard that she had messed up, and she would also repair it by the way.
That piece of land used to be filled with the world's most precious flowers and plants, and a gardener spent a lot of money to maintain it every day. Later, it was completely crushed to death by Mu Ning's car. She planted leeks and now sunflowers.
That's all, it's all about living a normal life, and life must be full of fireworks.
…
The next day, Mu Ning accompanied Gu Zhiyin to the rehabilitation center for a review.
"Have you brought everything?"
"Well, you've asked for ID card and household registration book four times." Mu Ning put all the documents in his bag and pushed him out.
"You always forget everything."
"Okay, don't be nagging, the driver is waiting."
"You think I'm verbose?" Gu Zhiyin grabbed the wheel hub and turned his face slightly unhappy.
Mu Ning lowered his head and placed a kiss on his eyes.
"I mean, Mr. Gu is so handsome today. It would be more attractive to stay quiet."
Gu Zhiyin hummed.
The driver dropped them off at a rehabilitation center.
"Give it to me, you wait in the car." Mu Ning ordered the driver and pushed Gu Zhiyin in.
When entering the elevator, Mu Ning seemed to see an acquaintance.
She was standing in the elevator and saw the man walking towards the elevator, but before he could, the elevator door closed.
"What's wrong?" Gu Zhiyin grabbed Mu Ning's hand and found it was a little stiff, so she sensed something was wrong.
Mu Ning frowned and said, "I think I saw Gu Huaian."
Gu Zhiyin's face suddenly turned cold.
"Is it because Gu Yunsi is also in this rehabilitation center?"
She heard the news that Gu Yunsi was burned beyond recognition.
Gu Zhiyin did not answer, "Ning Ning, we're on the floor."
"Oh." Mu Ning recovered his thoughts and pushed him out.
The doctor examined him and the examination report will not be available for a while.
Mu Ning pushed Gu Zhiyin to a lounge. There was no one in the lounge.
"Are you tired? Do you want some water?"
Mu Ning sat down in front of him.
Gu Zhiyin shook his head.
Seeing that his expression was very bad, Mu Ning took his hand and asked, "Are you worried about the result?"
The worst outcome is already this.
He won't get better either.
He was wondering why Gu Huaian arranged Gu Yunsi here.
Mu Ning comforted him, "Uncle Gu, don't worry. No matter what the outcome is, I will be with you."
"Um."
Mu Ning looked at the time and said, "I'm going to get the checklist. You wait for me here."
"I want to go with you."
"It's on this floor, soon."
Gu Zhiyin thought, maybe she thought it would be troublesome to push him.
He lowered his eyes and said, "Okay."
"Come back quickly."
Mu Ning settled him down, left the room, and gently closed the door.
Just as her phone rang, she answered it while walking.
"Hey, who's there?"
"Do you still remember me, little princess? I saved your life."
Hearing him call him little princess, Mu Ning felt uncomfortable all over.
"How do you have my number?"
"Isn't it easy to get your number?" The person over there chuckled.
"I want to talk to you about something serious."
"What's up?"
"Mr. Gu's eyes and legs can't be delayed any longer. Even God Luo won't be able to save them if we drag them on any longer."
"What do you mean?"
Mu Ning was inexplicably nervous. She clutched her phone tightly and walked quickly to the bathroom to answer it.
"Mr. Gu came to see me before. I could treat his eyes and legs, but he didn't agree to the conditions I offered..."
…
Gu Zhiyin waited in the lounge for a long time, feeling a little restless.
Does it take so long to get a report?
He called Mu Ning and the line was busy.
Ning Ning, where have you been?
Why is the phone always busy?
Gu Zhiyin panicked and wanted to drive the wheelchair out to look for him.
The door opens at this moment.
"Ning Ning?"
