Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 1962 - 1966: Don’t Say That About Xiaoshu

She looked up at Gu Junzhu, her eyes filled with sadness. "I can’t bear to share him with anyone... I’m afraid his biological mother will fight me for custody..."

"I understand..." Gu Junzhu patted her. "But now that you know you can find Xiao Shumiao’s biological mother, if you don’t search for her, won’t this become a demon in your heart? Wouldn’t you feel uneasy, even guilty, whenever you think about this your whole life?"

Ye Xingbei thought for a moment, then nodded, "Yes..."

Gu Junzhu held her hand. "I don’t want you to harbor any burdens in your heart. I hope you can live worry-free, happily."

"But..." Ye Xingbei bit her lip, "But I really don’t want to give Xiao Shu to anyone, not even his biological mother!"

"Then let’s first find out who his biological mother is," Gu Junzhu said. "First, let’s find out who Xiao Shu’s biological mother is and what kind of person she is. Maybe she’s already deceased, or maybe she’s of poor character. In such cases, we have no obligation to help Xiao Shumiao reunite with his biological mother."

"But what if Xiao Shu’s mother is a very good woman?" Ye Xingbei asked anxiously.

"Beibei, I think you really shouldn’t consider so much," Gu Junzhu squeezed her hand, comforting her. "If Xiao Shumiao were a child stolen by Bai Mengluan, whose mother lost her biological son and perhaps had been searching tirelessly and suffering from the separation, we should immediately help Xiao Shumiao find his biological mother and reunite them. But Xiao Shumiao’s situation isn’t like that."

Gu Junzhu touched Ye Xingbei’s cheek and seriously analyzed, "Xiao Shumiao is the result of Bai Mengluan stealing an egg for surrogacy. To Xiao Shumiao’s mother, he’s just a lost egg. She has no emotional attachment to him and doesn’t even know Xiao Shumiao exists in this world..."

Ye Xingbei’s eyes sparkled with hope. "So, according to what you said, we don’t need to help Xiao Shumiao find his biological mother?"

"We certainly need to find her; otherwise, you will feel uneasy, guilty, and selfish," Gu Junzhu said. "But once we find her, we don’t have to make it public. When Xiao Shumiao learns about his origins one day and asks us who his biological parents are, we’ll tell him the truth and let him decide whether he wants to continue being with us or return to his biological mother’s side."

Ye Xingbei’s face turned pale.

She gripped Gu Junzhu’s hand tightly, shaking her head in pain. "No... I can’t bear it. Xiao Shu is mine, and I can’t accept giving Xiao Shu to anyone!"

"Beibei, you must have faith in Xiao Shu," Gu Junzhu said. "You are the one Xiao Shu loves the most. Do you think he would choose you, who loves him desperately, or his biological mother, who only provided an egg?"

Ye Xingbei looked at him with a pale face. "But having Xiao Shu make a choice, wouldn’t that be too cruel for him? Wouldn’t that put him in a difficult position?"

"What’s so difficult about this?" Gu Junzhu said. "Choosing between you and his biological mother, is it really hard? If he’s actually torn, then such a son you might as well not want."

Ye Xingbei’s eyes reddened, and she punched him once. "Don’t you ever talk about Xiao Shu like that!"
