Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

The entrance was bustling, and the living room wasn’t quiet either.

Feng Shulan tugged Mo Zishuang to sit on the couch, smiling, ”I remember you’re called Mo Zishuang, right? I saw you when reviewing the trainees earlier.”

She recalled the time at the Academy for trainee reviews, with family members allowed to watch. Feng Shulan had glanced from afar and was quite impressed by Mo Zishuang, this female trainee. It was no easy feat for a woman to be so valiant and spirited.

Mo Zishuang: ”...” Great, just great, why was it during the trainee review...

Her fierce demeanor must have been completely witnessed by her future mother-in-law...

Having been a daughter-in-law herself, Feng Shulan understood the thoughts of a woman and smiled, ”Old Gu often praises you, saying you’re a sensible and good child.”

Mo Zishuang: ”...” Surely he’s praising her ability to lead trainees decisively and determinedly. She could recite by heart the words Prince could say...

Usually, hearing Prince praise her didn’t matter much to Mo Zishuang, but now listening to it, she felt anxious.

To know that the listener was her future mother-in-law, Mo Zishuang wanted to cry but had no tears.

Seeing Mo Zishuang’s expression, Feng Shulan chuckled and said, ”I haven’t asked you yet, who else is in your family?”

If Gu Qing really intends to marry her, it’s better to ask clearly to avoid any future discourtesy and trouble.

”No one...” Mo Zishuang replied decisively to this question, saying, ”I was kidnapped at three, wandered at six, was rescued by the state at ten, joined the military academy at fourteen, and have served the country ever since...”

These things, when spoken of, would be events ordinary people would rather not mention, but Mo Zishuang spoke without reservation, with such equanimity as if they had no impact on her at all.

However, even so, her heart was tangled nonetheless...

Knowing that her counterpart was Gu Qing’s mother, she must hope for a daughter-in-law who is equally matched; would her kind of background be despised? Although nothing happened back then, it’s hard not to think much of it.

Thinking of this, Mo Zishuang became even more conflicted. As her mind was in turmoil, she suddenly felt a scalding drop of water land on the back of her hand.

She hurriedly looked up to find Feng Shulan’s eyes red, tears falling down like raindrops as she frantically wiped them with a handkerchief, saying, ”Poor child, fate’s so harsh, so many misfortunes have weighed upon you...”

At an age when she should be enjoying comfort beside her parents, she endured so much hardship. Being a parent herself, how could Feng Shulan not feel touched?

If it were her own child, she would undoubtedly be heartbroken...

”A- Aunt... it’s okay... it’s all in the past... I’ve forgotten about it...” Mo Zishuang waved her hands desperately in an attempt to explain, but it had no effect; instead, it only intensified Feng Shulan’s heartache.

Feng Shulan, with a red nose from crying, said, ”Silly child, in the future, just treat me as your mother, don’t think about those things anymore...”

With that said, Feng Shulan, without waiting for a response, pulled Mo Zishuang into her embrace, truly adopting a stance to provide her with motherly love.

Mo Zishuang was stunned by her sudden action. She obediently leaned on Feng Shulan’s shoulder, unable to utter a word. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, not knowing how to react.

Feng Shulan’s embrace was warm and exuded a fragrant scent. Leaning in, Mo Zishuang pressed her lips tightly together, and suddenly realized that this must be what a mother’s presence feels like. She carefully savored and meticulously experienced it, finding it not bad at all...

Perhaps once upon a time, she too might have envied such an embrace, but there was no one to give her such care. Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but envy Gu Qing and Gu Tong for having a good mother...
