Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon

Yu Fang, her face lined with years of sorrow and regret, gave a bitter smile as she slowly shook her head.

"Xu Sheng," she said softly, "you’ve done nothing wrong. The ones at fault were your Uncle and I. It was we who wronged them. We’re the ones who don’t deserve forgiveness." Her voice cracked slightly. "But now, it’s you who suffers because of our mistakes."

After that final conversation, Yu Fang vanished from Su Bing’s life entirely. From then on, it was the housekeeper and driver who took Xu Sheng to and from school.

At school, Xu Sheng no longer clung to Su Bing, and Su Bing, to his own relief, found peace in that distance. He no longer had to worry about the Xu family showing up uninvited, demanding that his parents hand him back.

Meanwhile, Gu Zi’s belly had grown visibly rounder. She had already stopped going to her classes and was now focused solely on her pregnancy, staying home to rest. An unexpected symptom had emerged—an overwhelming drowsiness that had her sleeping at least twelve hours a day just to feel somewhat energized. Still, she made a consistent effort to get up every morning to have breakfast with the children.

Lately, Su Bing had taken over all the breakfast duties himself—not because Gu Zi couldn’t handle them, but because he didn’t want her to feel overheated in the kitchen. She found it sweet, and happily joined the children for the morning meal.

With Gu Zi now frequently sleeping in, Su Li had found a new favorite activity—competing with his mother each morning to see who could wake up first.

This morning, Gu Zi managed to rise a few minutes before him.
