Chapter 668 Just Call Her Mom Like Him

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Jin’s heart skipped a beat. Facing Mother Xiao’s eager gaze, her tone softened. “Hello, Madam Xiao.”

Mother Xiao said gently, “Don’t be so distant. You’re the girl Yize likes. Just call me Mom like he does.”

Gu Jin felt a bit confused.

Xiao Yize didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Although he really wanted Miss Gu to call her “Mom” like him, he had yet to make that much progress.

He explained, “Mom, I’m still wooing Jin. She hasn’t agreed to be my girlfriend.”

“What?!” Mother Xiao looked at Xiao Yize in surprise. “You’re not together yet?”

They weren’t together yet? Xiao Yize had been at her bedside every other day, fantasizing about his future with Gu Jin. He had even thought of the child’s name.

Seeing the two of them walking in hand-in-hand, she had briefly imagined holding her grandson.

In the end, nothing had even begun?

Feeling his mother’s doubtful gaze, Xiao Yize coughed lightly and nodded solemnly. “Mom, I’m still working on it.”

Mother Xiao closed her eyes, feeling she might have woken up at the wrong time. “Then what about what you said before…”

Xiao Yize hadn’t expected his mother to remember what he had said when she was unconscious. His handsome face turned red as he quickly interrupted her.

“Mom, I admit that what I said at your bedside was a bit exaggerated, but I followed Miss Gu’s medical advice. I mentioned things you might be concerned about to stimulate you to wake up.”

He couldn’t let Miss Gu know that he had said so many shameless things!

Mother Xiao:

“Miss Gu, this is considered a white lie, right?” Xiao Yize asked, looking at Gu Jin.

“Is that so…” Madam Xiao also looked at Gu Jin.

Gu Jin considered that Xiao Yize’s words might indeed have contributed to Mother Xiao waking up sooner. She nodded.

If it could expedite the patient’s recovery, there was no harm in exaggerating the truth slightly. It was similar to withholding the full severity of a terminal condition if it benefited the treatment.

Seeing Gu Jin nod, Mother Xiao didn’t suspect anything, but she still felt a little regretful. “Then, Jin, call me Auntie first.”

Gu Jin hesitated briefly, then said, “…Auntie.”

The patient’s emotions did not seem stable, so she had to cooperate.

“I’ll check all the indicators.”

Feeling a bit uncomfortable under Mother Xiao’s affectionate gaze, Gu Jin slowly let go of Xiao Yize’s and Mother Xiao’s hands. She went to check the equipment and various physiological data.

Seeing that Gu Jin was working hard, Mother Xiao shifted her gaze to Lin Ran, who stood behind Xiao Yize.

“And this is?”

Mother Xiao had been in a coma for many years. Most of the time, her consciousness was in a fog. She only gradually regained clarity after receiving Gu Jin’s treatment.

At this moment, when she saw Lin Ran, with his green-dyed hair and pink attire, she was a bit puzzled.

“Auntie Xiao, I’m Lin Ran!” Lin Ran said, dancing with excitement. “Do you still remember me? I even hugged you when I was young.”

Mother Xiao was speechless. It didn’t sound problematic at first, but it felt odd.

Lin Ran quickly corrected himself. “No, you even hugged me when I was young.”

Mother Xiao: “?? Who just woke up from a vegetative state and isn’t thinking clearly?”

Gu Jin couldn’t help but glance at Lin Ran’s head, feeling the urge to check it.

The corner of Xiao Yize’s mouth twitched slightly. “My mother carried you when you were young, right?”

Lin Ran laughed dryly, unfazed by the awkwardness. “Hahaha, that’s about right. As long as everyone understands what I mean.”

Mother Xiao looked at Lin Ran, who was striking yet strangely charming, and seemed to be recalling something.

After a moment, she remembered. “Are you the child from the Lin family who looked like a little girl?”
