Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Gu Yu was running while crying hard, and as she ran she almost tripped.

Gu Yao hurriedly scooped her up, and the two little ones hid behind a big tree.

They looked at each other.

Gu Yao was about to use his sleeve to wipe her tears when she immediately laughed. ”I was just tricking her!”

She had only been fake crying, then took the chance to run off.

Mom said, don’t confront the Gu Family head‑on. They were still little, they couldn’t beat the adults, so the best thing was to run away first and talk later.

She vaguely remembered Mom had done some wrong things, but now Mom was great, loved her and her brother very much, and bought them a lot of toys and limited‑edition clothes!

And Grandma?

She hadn’t given them anything, just kept bad‑mouthing Mom with an empty mouth.

Now that Mom treated Dad so well, they didn’t believe what Grandma said at all!

You had to know, Mom had told them that everyone in the Gu Family had twisty, turny guts, like nine roads with eighteen bends.

The two of them hid behind the tree; Huo Yiwen and Gu Xiaomin still hadn’t left.

”Mom, how could you talk about Sister‑in‑law like that?” Gu Xiaomin asked.

Huo Yiwen patted her son on the shoulder. At eleven, the boy was almost as tall as she was. The Gu Family’s genes were excellent; this kid wasn’t just handsome, he was very talented too.

”I was just giving them a reminder.” Of course Huo Yiwen wouldn’t show her darker side. ”Your sister‑in‑law was never the type to sit quietly and behave. Even when she was pregnant, she spent every day flirting and joking around with other men. Only your brother would believe her. Sigh... Mom has worried herself sick over this. Don’t overthink it. Hurry back and do your homework, finish the high school curriculum too, and next summer go straight up to Imperial Capital University...”

Gu Xiaomin frowned. ”Mom, can you stop bringing up studying? I’m already very self‑motivated!”

Huo Yiwen’s face changed in an instant. ”You think doing well in your studies is to make me proud? It’s all for your own future. If only you were as amazing as your brother! If you’re not as good as he is, when Mom gets old and his wife bullies you, what are you going to do?”

”Sister‑in‑law isn’t that kind of person.” Gu Xiaomin shook his head.

”What do you know?” Huo Yiwen’s face darkened. ”Time is really tight right now. Go back to your room and study. Only useless people spend all day playing around! I’m telling you, don’t hang out with Gu Yao and Gu Yu. All they know is playing all day long. You should know that when your brother was your age, he’d already finished all the primary school coursework and was studying middle school material...”

Gu Xiaomin didn’t want to listen anymore and headed toward his bedroom.

Huo Yiwen also quickly walked to the front hall to sit with Gu Zhentao.

Gu Xiaomin was in a terrible mood, walking along and kicking at the air.

When he came to a big tree, he heard someone calling him, ”Uncle...”

Gu Xiaomin saw two little heads. They no longer had any trace of fear or tears on their faces; they were playing happily.

He understood right away: these two little ones were just playing Huo Yiwen.

Huo Yiwen thought she’d scared them, but the two kids had retreated to advance, letting her think that.

Honestly, Gu Xiaomin really envied how happily the two of them could play. He and his brother were the same: they didn’t have the right to play.

But these two kids had a happy childhood, and that was because Sister‑in‑law allowed it.

”You two play nicely. I’m going back to my room.” Gu Xiaomin said desolately.

Gu Yu watched his back. ”Brother, Little Uncle is so pitiful! His mom is too fierce and keeps making him study. Our mom is still the best...”
