After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight

Su Li held the photo tightly. The child's bright smile in the photo was like a ray of light, illuminating all the haze in her heart. "We'll go pick him up right now!" Su Li said excitedly, with a tremor in her voice.

Gu Jinyan held her hand, his eyes gentle but firm, "Li'er, we don't know what the child has been through these years. We need to give him some time to slowly accept us."

Su Li understood Gu Jinyan's concerns, and they decided to first learn about the situation from the child's teacher and psychologist and make a detailed plan. In order to accompany the child wholeheartedly, Su Li and Gu Jinyan both asked for a long vacation from the company. They wanted to make up for the lost time and use love to melt the ice in the child's heart.

When the child learned that his parents were going to take him on a trip, he initially resisted. He didn't understand why these two people suddenly broke into his life. Along the way, the child was silent, like a wounded little animal, curled up in his own world.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan did not force their children, they chose tolerance and patience. They took their children to the amusement park, to the beach, to experience all kinds of new things. Like ordinary parents, they played with their children, told them stories, and sang songs to put them to sleep.

During the journey, the child always kept a distance from them. Until one night, Su Li found the child hiding in the corner of the room and crying secretly. She walked over, gently hugged the child in her arms, and asked softly: "What's wrong? Tell mom, okay?"

In Su Li's warm embrace, the child finally let down his guard. He choked up and said, "My classmates all say that I am a child without parents. They all laugh at me..."

Su Li's heart seemed to be pierced by a needle. She hugged the child tightly, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. "No, you have a father and a mother. They have always loved you, but..."

"It's just that dad made a mistake back then and sent you away. Can you forgive dad?" Gu Jinyan walked over, squatted down, and looked at the child sincerely.

The child raised his head and looked at the tall and handsome man in front of him. Is this his father? He had imagined what his father looked like in his dreams countless times.

"Dad..." the child called softly, his voice full of grievance and dependence.

At that moment, Gu Jinyan's eyes became moist, and he hugged the child tightly in his arms.

The journey continued, and the child smiled more and more. He began to take the initiative to hold Su Li and Gu Jinyan's hands and share his favorite toys and stories with them. The family of three finally walked together.

After returning home, Su Li's cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, is this Ms. Su? I am..."

"Hello, is this Ms. Su? I am Xiaoxuan's homeroom teacher, Teacher Wang." The teacher's friendly voice came from the other end of the phone.

Su Li quickly responded: "Hello, Teacher Wang, I am Xiaoxuan's mother."

"It's like this, Ms. Su. I'm calling to tell you that Xiaoxuan's performance in school has improved a lot recently." Teacher Wang said with satisfaction, "He began to take the initiative to participate in class activities, got along much better with his classmates, and studied more seriously."

Hearing the teacher's words, Su Li and Gu Jinyan looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with joy. The hard work during this period finally paid off.

"Really? That's great!" Su Li's voice could not hide her excitement, "Thank you, Teacher Wang, we will continue to work hard."

After hanging up the phone, Su Li couldn't wait to tell Gu Jinyan the good news. "Jinyan, did you hear that? Xiaoxuan's performance in school is getting better and better!"

Gu Jinyan gently put his arm around Su Li's shoulders and said in a warm voice, "Well, I heard everything. Our Xiaoxuan is really great!"

In order to help the children better integrate into their new life, Su Li and Gu Jinyan also made an appointment with a psychological expert for consultation.

"You two, I have a basic understanding of the child's situation." The psychologist said in a gentle tone, "What he needs most now is the company and understanding of his family. You should spend more time chatting with him, understand his thoughts, listen to his voice, and give him enough respect and trust."

"We understand, thank you!" Su Li and Gu Jinyan listened carefully and kept the psychologist's advice in mind.

From that day on, Su Li and Gu Jinyan turned down all unnecessary work and social events and stayed with their child wholeheartedly. They read, drew, and played games with their child, communicating with him as an equal like a friend, and listening to his joys, sorrows, and anger.

The child's eyes gradually became brighter. He began to actively share interesting things in school with his parents, and would also act like a spoiled child to seek comfort from them. Seeing the child become happier day by day, Su Li and Gu Jinyan's hearts were filled with happiness and hope.

"Xiaoxuan, it's your birthday next week. What gift do you want?" Su Li asked the child gently during dinner.

The child tilted his head and thought for a long time. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "I want..."

"I want to go on a family trip!" the child excitedly announced his birthday wish, "We haven't been out together for a long time!"

Su Li and Gu Jinyan smiled at each other. This was exactly what they wanted. "Okay, let's go on a trip together!" Gu Jinyan rubbed the child's hair lovingly, "Where do you want to go?"

After some discussion, they finally decided to go to the seaside city, where there was the blue sea and soft sand that the child had always dreamed of. In order to give the child a surprise, Su Li and Gu Jinyan booked a seaside holiday villa in advance and secretly contacted a local event planning company to prepare for an unforgettable birthday party for the child.

On the day of the trip, the child was full of anticipation for the upcoming journey and chattered excitedly all the way. After arriving at the destination, Su Li and Gu Jinyan brought the child to the beach villa. As soon as they opened the door, colorful balloons and ribbons instantly filled the entire room, and the child opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Happy birthday!" Accompanied by cheerful music, a group of staff wearing cartoon headdresses walked in pushing a birthday cake. The children jumped happily, with happiness shining in their eyes.

In the following days, Su Li and Gu Jinyan accompanied the child wholeheartedly. They built castles on the beach, chased and played on the beach, and shared each other's secrets under the starry sky at night. With the company of his parents, the child's face was always filled with a bright smile, and this journey became the most beautiful memory in his heart.

After the trip, the child returned home and seemed to be a different person. He began to take the initiative to put away his toys, finish his homework seriously, and help Su Li with some housework within his ability.

"Mom and Dad, I will study hard in the future and won't make you worry anymore." One night, the child said solemnly to Su Li and Gu Jinyan.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan looked at the sensible child with satisfaction, and their hearts were filled with emotion. They knew that the child really felt their love and understood their good intentions.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the windowsill. Su Li and Gu Jinyan held the child's hand and prepared to go out for a walk. "Let's go," Gu Jinyan said with a gentle smile on his face, "The weather is so nice today..."

"Let's go." Gu Jinyan said, naturally holding Su Li's hand, and the other hand was tightly held by the child's hand. The family of three, bathed in the golden sunset, strolled along the garden path of the community.

The child jumped all the way, like a happy little bird, and from time to time shared the interesting things he saw with Su Li and Gu Jinyan. "Mom, look, that cloud looks like a little white rabbit!" "Dad, I learned a new song at school today, I'll sing it to you..." His childish words, like the sound of crisp wind chimes, echoed in the ears of Su Li and Gu Jinyan, and also struck the softest part of their hearts.

Su Li looked at the child's innocent smile, her heart was filled with warmth and touching. She once thought that she had lost her qualifications as a mother, and the child became sensitive and rebellious due to the lack of parental companionship. But now, watching the child become more cheerful and sensible day by day, Su Li felt that it was all worth it.

Gu Jinyan's eyes always stayed on Su Li and the child, with tenderness and love flashing in his deep eyes. He knew that Su Li had been under tremendous pressure and grievances during this period of time, but he ignored her feelings because of his work and his grudges. Now, seeing Su Li's happy smile blooming again, Gu Jinyan secretly made up his mind to cherish the person in front of him and never let her suffer any harm again.

"Dad, Mom, can we come here for a walk again tomorrow?" the child looked up and asked expectantly.

"Okay." Su Li and Gu Jinyan answered in unison.

As the sun set, the figures of the three people were stretched out and gradually melted into the twilight. The distance between them seemed to become closer in these few short steps.

However, when Su Li and Gu Jinyan returned home, the landline at home suddenly rang, and a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, is this Mr. Gu's home? I'm the child's class teacher..."
