“Mommy.”

“Mommy, wake up!”

In her dream, Su Luo heard children’s voices and awoke slowly.

She struggled to open her eyes; everything looked so strange.

Where was she?

Shouldn’t she be sleeping in her own bedroom?

“Mommy, you’re finally awake!”

“You promised to take us out. You got to keep your promise.”

Two pairs of small hands grabbed Su Luo’s arms and shook her.

Mommy… were they calling her?

Su Luo remembered she had stayed overnight to finish a novel; was she hallucinating because of that?

Su Luo turned around and looked. She saw a boy and a girl, both about two to three years old. They looked alike and were standing by the bed, watching her happily.

“Are you calling me mommy?”

Su Luo pointed at herself and asked confusedly.

“Of course, you’re our mommy. Who else can you be?”

The girl asked, perplexed.

“Mommy, are you dreaming?”

The boy looked concerned.

Su Luo was stunned by their replies.

She had been single for more than 20 years, since when had she become a mother of two?

“Hey cutie pies, you can eat whatever you like, but you can’t call anyone mommy. I am not even married. How could I have children as big as you two?”

As soon they heard her, the two kids started crying.

Sniffle, sniffle. “Mommy doesn’t want us anymore!”

“You ARE our mommy!”

Su Luo had no experience with children. When the two children cried, she immediately panicked. “Don’t cry, but I am really not…”

Before Su Luo could even finish, the door was open and a dashing man entered.

He hurried to Su Luo’s side and hugged the two children and comforted them. “Xixi, Beibei, don’t cry. Let mommy sleep. Let’s go out and play, okay?”

The girl said to the man with teary eyes. “Daddy, mommy doesn’t recognize us anymore!”

The boy clenched his small fists and pouted. Tears streamed down his face.

The man stared at Su Luo in disbelief. He seemed to be upset and tried to suppress his anger. “Su Luo! You’ve gone too far! You don’t have to like me but how can you treat your own children like that?”

Su Luo was competely shocked by the man’s accusation.

All of a sudden, she seemed to have become a bit** who abandoned her husband and children?

“Hi handsome, who are you?”

Su Luo tried very hard to recall, but was pretty sure that she had never met him before.

The man was so angry that his whole body was trembling. “Su Luo, is it fun to humiliate me? I’m Gu Zhan, your legal husband, Gu Zhan.”

Gu Zhan?

The name sounded so familiar. Su Luo suddenly remembered. Wasn’t it the name of the guy in the novel “I Can’t Live without You in This Life,” which she had stayed up to read last night?

In the novel, Gu Zhan’s life was really miserable. Although he was rich and handsome, he fell in love with a woman who didn’t like him, and the woman’s name was also Su Luo.

In the beginning, Gu Zhang knew that Su Luo loved someone else, and he had only wanted her to be happy. He found out by accident that Lin Tian, the man Su Luo loved, had only used Su Luo as a substitute for his first love.

Gu Zhan didn’t want Su Luo to be deceived and hurt, so he told Su Luo the truth. However, not only did Su Luo not believe him, but she also thought that Gu Zhan was a sinister person.

Then the Su Corporation, the company Su Luo’s family owned, had a crisis, and only Gu Zhan could save them. Su Luo used herself as a bargaining chip and agreed to marry Gu Zhan in exchange for him helping the Su Corporation through the crisis.

After they got married, Su Luo believed in the malicious gossip and thought the crisis in her family was all part of Gu Zhan’s plan to force her to marry him. She started hating Gu Zhan and was cold to him.

Then she and Lin Tian met again, Su Luo wanted nothing but being with him. She used all kinds of methods to force Gu Zhan to get a divorce, which pushed him to the edge.

But, in the end, Gu Zhan still sacrificed himself to save Su Luo, and after she learned the truth Su Luo committed suicide out of guilt.

Their two children became orphans and lived a miserable life.

After Su Luo finished reading the novel, she wrote a 10,000 word essay and posted it on the forum. She scolded the author for having a pathetic outlook on life and being completely heartless to vent her anger to Gu Zhan.

Legal husband, mother..

Could it be that she travelled from reality to the world depicted in the book?

What’s more, she became the heroine of book who had the same name as herself.

When Su Luo was reading “I Can’t Live without You in This Life” she never liked the female protagonist who had the same name as herself.

In her 10,000 word essay, more than 8,000 words were used to point out what a fool she was.

Gu Zhan was loyal, affectionate, gentle, and patient. He was so much better than the selfish, hypocritical and scheming Lin Tian.

She really could not understand why Su Luo in the book did not like Gu Zhan even before she died.

She was gullible and would believe anyone, even those who lied to her, rather than trusting Gu Zhan who always told her the truth.

Suo Luo in real life had never thought that one day she could actually travel into the book and become the fool “Su Luo” whom she despised.

While Su Luo was in a daze, the two cutie pies came down from Gu Zhan’s body and grabbed Su Luo’s sleeve.

The boy was upset and asked, “Mommy, is it because Xixi and I are too naughty that you don’t want us anymore?”

The girl was also pleading, “We will listen to you. Mommy, don’t leave us, please?”

Suo Luo looked at the two sweet faces and their teary eyes; the softest part of her heart was touched.

In the book, the two were twins. The boy was the elder brother, called Gu Bei, and the girl was the younger one, called Gu Xi.

Although Su Luo in the book didn’t like Gu Zhan, she always doted on the children they had.

When parents were not on good terms, children could easily feel insecure. They always felt that one day Su Luo would abandon them and their father.

Gu Zhan saw the change in Su Luo’s eyes; his tone softened a little. He said, “Luo Luo, no matter how much you hate me, our children are innocent.”

Su Luo looked up and their eyes met. He got misty-eyed, full of longing and enduring.

Thinking of what had happened to Gu Zhan in the book, Su Luo’s heart felt as if it was being squeezed tightly by someone.

Even before he died, Gu Zhan was thinking of Su Luo. He forbid his people to let Su Luo know the truth. He wanted her to think that he was a bad guy so that she could live on without guilt.

Su Luo did not understand why the author had arranged such an ending for Gu Zhan. Wouldn’t it be better if they could resolve their misunderstanding and love each other?

She made up her mind. She would save Gu Zhan from the tragic ending!

Su Luo sat up and looked at the two crying kids lovingly. She wiped the tears away from their faces and said, “Xiaobei and Xiaoxi, I’m sorry. Mommy was still dreaming just now. I would never abandon you two. Don’t cry.”

Hearing that, Gu Bei and Gu Xi were relieved and stopped crying. They hugged Su Luo and rubbed against her body lovingly.

“Yeah, brother! Mommy won’t abandon us!”

“Yeah, mommy is the best.”

Children could never stay sad for very long. They immediately became happy after the misunderstanding was resolved.

“To make up for you, mommy will make breakfast, how about that?”

In her real life, Su Luo was an internationally renowned chef. Ordinary people wouldn’t have the chance to try her cooking.

“Great! Mommy hadn’t cooked for us before.”

Gu Xi was so happy that she clapped her hands.

Gu Bei also was excited.

When Gu Zhan saw the three of them happy together, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He walked towards the door alone.

Su Luo saw him leaving. She hurriedly stopped him and asked, “Gu Zhan, what do you want for breakfast?”

Gu Zhan stopped. He turned around and pointed at himself. He sounded uncertain. “Me?”

Su Luo gave him a gentle and affirmative gaze and said, “Yes, you.”

Su Luo actually took the initiative to talk to him?

And she used such a gentle gaze to look at him asking him what he wanted to eat?

For a moment, Gu Zhan thought he was dreaming.

No, in his dream, Su Luo had never looked at him like this.

Su Luo’s attitude towards him had always been indifferent, disgusted, and evasive.

In the three years they had been married, Su Luo almost had never spoken to him first.

That was not right!

He suddenly knew why Su Luo changed her attitude.

Gu Zhan’s face changed. He grabbed Su Luo’s arm and gazed at her resolutely. “Su Luo, forget about divorce. Even if you poison me now, you’ll still be Mrs. Gu.”

Su Luo knew that Gu Zhan had been deeply hurt by the original owner of this body, but she didn’t expect it to could be this bad. Even offering to make him breakfast would make him think of being poisoned.

Su Luo felt sad for him. She hugged him and sobbed, “Gu Zhan, I know I must have hurt you a lot in the past, but please trust me, I want to make it up to you. I won’t bring up the word ‘divorce’ again.”

Gu Zhan felt the warmth of her body; his nose was filled with the unique fragrance of her. He didn’t know where to put his hands and left them in mid-air awkwardly.

1

“Luo Luo, you…”

He tried to say something, but didn’t know what to say.

This was the scene that he had dreamt of many times: Su Luo in his arms, telling him she wanted to be with him.

Gu Zhan really wanted to immerse himself in the warmth of her love, but he was afraid it was too good to be true.

He might end up falling into an endless abyss. She gave him beautiful illusions only to attract him to the edge of the cliff, and pushed him down when he was unprepared.

Su Luo buried her face in his neck, her hands moving up and down to comfort him.

“I’m sorry, Gu Zhan. I hope you can give me a chance to correct all the wrongs I’ve done.”

Gu bei and Gu Xi saw the change in Su Luo’s attitude towards Gu Zhan. They came over joyfully. They opened their small arms and tried to hug the two of them, but only managed to hug one of their legs.

1

“That’s great, brother. Mommy finally believes that Daddy isn’t a bad person.”

“Xixi, in the future, we can go out and play together as a family.”

Seeing them together brought joy in the two children’t eyes. They couldn’t be happier to see parents loving each other.

1

However, Gu Zhan, who should have been the happiest, looked gloomy, and pushed Su Luo away.

Su Luo was caught by surprise, not sure what Gu Zhan meant.

He wanted to talk with her alone. “Beibei Xixi, go play with Grand ma Zhang. Your mother and I need to talk.”

The two children raised their heads, looked at each other from the corner of their eyes and gave each other a knowing smile.

They said together, “Yes, daddy.”

The children left. After Gu Xi closed the door, she came back and peeked in, “Take your time. You can talk as long as you like.”

1

“Alright, Xixi, leave daddy and mommy alone. They just got back together. Daddy must have a lot to say to mommy.”

Gu Bei pulled Gu Xi out and closed the door.

Now only Gu Zhan and Su Luo were left in the room.

Su Luo smiled and wanted to hold Gu Zhan’s hand. “What do you want to tell me?”

Gu Zhan pulled his hand out and walked to the window in silence. He opened the curtain and stared at the dark clouds outside the window. He sighed deeply.

“Luo Luo, look, in this kind of weather, all flights will be cancelled. Even the heaven are trying to stop you from going with Lin Tian. Do you still want to go?”

Go with Lin Tian?

Su Luo tried to recall the plot of the novel. Because Gu Zhan wouldn’t divorce her, what was going to happen next was Su Luo decided to take her two children and elope with Lin Tian abroad.

However, Gu Zhan had already known their plan and tried to stop her. In the end, she only took Gu Xi away with her.

According to the plot, after this, Gu Zhan changed dramatically.

Su Luo hurriedly explained, “No, Gu Zhan, you’ve misunderstood. I…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Zhan interrupted her, “You don’t have to explain. I know why you suddenly changed today. You just wanted me to let my guard down so that you can run away with Lin Tian, right?”

Gu Zhan turned to look at Su Luo with a painful look in his eyes.

This look stung Su Luo. Su Luo bit her lower lip. She should have known that she had hurt him so much that it would be hard for Gu Zhan to believe her now.

What should she do to make his suspicion go away?
