Gu Bei nestled in Gu Zhan’s arms and looked at his mother and sister. He curled his lips in disdain and said, “Childish.”

But in the next second, little Gu Bei, who said that his mother and sister were childish, went up to his mother to pinky swear after his daddy, Gu Zhan, placed him down.

Su Luo wanted to laugh when she saw this.

Although Gu Bei was a little cool brother and loved to bicker with his sister, Gu Xi, he was still a kindergarten child after all.

Of course, children were childish and cute. How could Gu Bei, who had a tough mouth but a soft heart, be an exception?

At 9:30 pm, it was time for Gu Bei and Gu Xi to rest. Su Luo and Gu Zhan gave them a goodnight kiss and prepared to send them off to rest.

But who would have thought that the usually obedient Gu Xi would be especially coquettish and clingy today? She actually held Su Luo’s hand and said shyly, “Mom, I want to hear a bedtime story.”

Su Luo was immediately stunned. A bedtime story? This was no less than a bolt from the blue for Su Luo, because she did not have a bedtime story in her mind.

In other words, she did not know how to tell a bedtime story and could not satisfy her daughter’s wish.

Gu Xi knew at a glance that her mother did not know how to tell a bedtime story. She turned around and stepped on the thick carpet with her small feet, entering the room to give Su Luo her bedtime reading materials, she smiled and said, “Daddy read about Snow White and the seven dwarfs last time. Mommy, continue reading!”

Su Luo had long known that Gu Zhan loved his children very much, but she did not expect that Gu Zhan, a former CEO of a large company, would be so… virtuous when he returned home, and even personally read bedtime stories to Gu Bei and Gu Xi.

Just as Su Luo was stunned, Gu Bei was already wrapped in a small blanket, sitting cross-legged, waiting for Su Luo to tell a story.

Su Luo saw that there was a reference book and immediately took it from her good daughter.

Su Luo took a rough look and found that it was alright. Although the story was very childish, it could be told off-script within her expectations.

Su Luo hugged the bedtime story book that saved her life and said in a gentle voice, “Once upon a time, there was a man who drove a horse and a donkey on the road. On the way, the donkey said to the horse…”

Gu Bei nestled in Gu Zhan’s arms. When Su Luo finished telling the story, he could not help but say to Su Luo, “Mommy, Daddy has already told us this story before.”

Su Luo was embarrassed. She coaxed her face and tried her best to save her dignity, “Ah? Is that so? Daddy was the one who told it before, but this is Mommy’s version. It’s my exclusive debut!”

Gu Zhan also knocked on his son’s head. His biased heart went straight to Su Luo’s side. He said, “Mommy told the story. Just listen well.”

Gu Xi was listening happily when her brother suddenly interrupted her. She curled her lips in Su Luo’s arms and said unhappily, “Brother, you’re so annoying. Mom’s version is the best.”

Gu Bei felt that he was being targeted by the whole family. He lowered his head and said humbly, “Oh! I know.”

Su Luo saw that her son was a little depressed. She comforted Gu Bei by touching his little head and said, “It’s okay. Mom didn’t mean to blame you just now. If there’s anything wrong with mom’s storytelling, please testify!”

Gu Bei saw that his mother did not blame him, so he narrowed his eyes happily and nodded heavily, saying, “Okay, Mom.”

Su Luo cleared her throat and continued, “Next, the little mouse eats the cake. The little mouse, Ace, has just moved to live in the beautiful big city. They have settled down in the basement of a house.”

On the sofa, a warm family of four sat face to face, listening to their mother’s bedtime story.

Not only Gu bei and Gu Xi listened, Gu Zhan also listened.
