After being interrupted by Lin Mingqi, Gu Qianjing lost interest in continuing her walk. She strolled back home and went straight to the second floor. When she passed Xiaoshu’s room, she found that the door was not closed tightly and light was shining through the gap.

　　Although she knew that doing so was a little bit wrong, driven by curiosity, Gu Qianjing still walked over and leaned over the crack in the door to look inside.

　　Xiao Shu had already laid down on the bed, with his cell phone next to his pillow. Lin Mingqi’s magnetic voice rang out in the room.

　　”Today, let’s tell Xiao Shu a story about a little bear who opened a snack shop in a tree hole, okay?”

　　Gu Qianjing saw Xiaoshu nod his head up and down twice, buried in the pillow.

　　Lin Mingqi asked again, “Did Xiaoshu nod in agreement? Then Daddy will start telling a story. Once upon a time, there lived a little bear in a big tree…”

　　Seeing this, Gu Qianjing just felt sad.

　　Xiao Shu must have wished that he could call “Dad” or say to Lin Mingqi in person, “Dad, I want to hear this story.” But now he can only listen to Lin Mingqi’s story passively.

　　Xiao Shu couldn’t speak. With such a huge fortune as the Lin family, they must have found various famous doctors for him, but the original owner always interfered.

　　She was afraid that the fact that she had frightened Xiaoshu would be exposed, so she kept claiming that Xiaoshu was born unable to speak, and she also tried every means to prevent Lin Mingqi from taking Xiaoshu to see a doctor.

　　Because she was Xiao Shu’s biological mother, Lin Mingqi let her guard down and was fooled by the original owner.

　　But Gu Qianjing knew that Xiaoshu was frightened, not that his vocal cords were underdeveloped, so he should still have a chance to speak.

　　Gu Qianjing closed the door gently, returned to her room, and rang the call bell at the bedside.

　　The housekeeper’s calm and self-possessed voice soon came from the loudspeaker, “Hello, Madam. What can I do for you?”

　　”Please help me make an appointment with the earliest doctor tomorrow, with the best doctor in the best hospital.”

　　The butler’s voice was still as calm as a mechanical voice, “Okay, ma’am, where do you feel uncomfortable?”

　　”It’s not me, it’s Xiao Shu. I’m going to take Xiao Shu to the hospital to treat his throat tomorrow.”

　　”Okay ma’am, I’ll send the appointment time and address to your phone later.”

　　I don’t know if it was an illusion, but this time, there seemed to be a hint of excitement in the butler’s calm voice?

　　The housekeeper made an appointment at a private maternity and child hospital on Central Street. This hospital is a membership-based hospital, and the patients who come here are all wealthy and famous people in the city. But with the wealth and status of the Lin family, it is easy for them to make an appointment with the best otolaryngologist here.

　　Gu Qianjing arrived a little early, and the expert she had an appointment with had not arrived yet.

　　After waiting for a while in the hospital’s pink-decorated lounge, Gu Qianjing felt a little bored.

　　Xiao Shu was reading a children’s magazine with great interest. Gu Qianjing looked around and saw a few shops opposite the hospital. She winked at Xiao Shu.

　　”Xiao Shu, shall we go shopping?”

　　Xiao Shu moved his eyes away from the book, looked at the shop opposite, then looked away and started reading again.

　　Just when Gu Qianjing thought that this arrogant kid was going to reject her again, Xiao Shu closed the magazine and put the book back on the bookshelf.

　　It seems that he agrees to go shopping with Gu Qianjing.

　　Gu Qianjing rubbed her hands happily and reached out to Xiao Shu, “Do you want me to hold your hand?”

　　Xiao Shu turned around, avoided her hand, and walked forward first.

　　Gu Qianjing touched her nose awkwardly and said, “Well, give the kid more time.”

　　Central Avenue is a street lined with luxury stores. Tall maple trees are planted on both sides of the street. Inside the huge shops, uniformed clerks stand at the door and greet customers with a smile.

　　Xiao Shu stopped at the door of the L store that sold bags. He had accompanied Gu Qianjing to this store several times. Xiao Shu had a deep memory of the scene every time he came, as if he was here to purchase goods. He naturally thought that Gu Qianjing was also here to purchase goods this time.

　　Gu Qianjing pointed to a toy store next to the L store and said, “Xiao Shu, do you want to go in and have a look?”

　　Xiao Shu stared at a huge building block castle in the toy store window, turned to look at Gu Qianjing, and nodded to her.

　　This seemed to be the first time that Xiao Shu responded to Gu Qianjing positively after she came here, and Gu Qianjing was quite happy in her heart.

　　When I entered the toy store, I was soon greeted by a clerk in a cartoon suit. “Welcome, how can I help you?”

　　When the clerk saw Gu Qianjing and Xiao Shu, there was a flash of surprise in her eyes.

　　They are a high-end original toy brand, and usually serve the rich and famous, and big stars are often seen there, but Gu Qianjing’s cool and unworldly temperament still makes her eyes light up.

　　Not to mention Xiao Shu, who was wearing a white shirt with a plaid vest, with shiny black hair, looking like a noble prince from a fairy tale.

　　The mother and son have words like “noble”, “textured” and “pleasing to the eye” written all over their bodies, allowing the clerk to tell at a glance that they are their target customers, so their service attitude is also particularly attentive.

　　Gu Qianjing gave her a gentle smile, “Hello, we don’t need any service, just let the children choose by themselves.”

　　”Okay.” The clerk tactfully stopped bothering me. “Call me anytime if you need anything.”

　　Looking at the dazzling array of toys in the store, Gu Qianjing thought Xiao Shu would take a long time to choose, but unexpectedly the little guy walked straight to the window without hesitation and pointed to the nearly two-meter-high building block castle in the window.

　　Gu Qianjing looked at the huge castle, which was almost as big as a small apartment. She asked, “Xiao Shu, do you want this building block castle?”

　　Xiao Shu nodded and then shook his head.

　　What does this nodding and shaking of the head mean?

　　Gu Qianjing asked again, “Xiao Shu, do you want this building block castle?”

　　Xiao Shu nodded again, then shook his head.

　　Gu Qianjing suddenly realized and patted her forehead gently, “Xiao Shu means that you want this castle, but you don’t want it to be assembled. You want to assemble it yourself, right?”

　　Xiao Shu nodded.

　　”Okay, I got it.” Gu Qianjing called the clerk over, “We want this castle, do you have it unassembled?”

　　”The kid has really good taste.” The clerk’s eyes were curved with a smile, “Dream Castle is our main product this season, it is for parents and children to build together, but the store doesn’t have it in stock now. I will deliver it to your home within a week, is that okay?”

　　After hearing what the clerk said, Xiao Shu nodded to Gu Qianjing.

　　”Okay.” Gu Qianjing took out the card from her bag and handed it over. “Just swipe the card, no password required.”

　　The clerk took the card with both hands, “Okay ma’am, let me confirm with you, the price of this castle is 288,000.”

　　After hearing the price, Gu Qianjing paused for a moment.

　　The clerk was stunned. Is it too expensive?

　　Look at what this woman is wearing. An outfit costs several million. More than 200,000 is not even a fraction of the bag in her hand. Is she reluctant to buy it for her child?

　　In the moment when Gu Qianjing hesitated, countless speculations popped up in the clerk’s mind, and his previous good impression of Gu Qianjing turned into contempt.

　　Gu Qianjing half-knelt down and looked into Xiaoshu’s eyes, “Xiaoshu, do you want to pick another building block? The castle won’t be delivered for a few days, so you can play with other things in the next few days.”

　　The clerk, who had been silently despising her in his heart, immediately smiled and said, “Madam, you are such a good mother. The child is so lucky to have a mother like you.”

　　Under Gu Qianjing’s encouraging gaze, Xiao Shu picked up another small dinosaur building block.

　　After buying the toys, Gu Qianjing raised her wrist to look at her watch. It was almost time, so she took Xiaoshu to the hospital.

　　Passing by the L bag store, Gu Qianjing didn’t even look at it and walked straight past. The only thing on her mind now was taking Xiaoshu to see a doctor first.

　　Xiao Shu looked at the bag shop, then at Gu Qianjing, hesitated for a moment, and quietly stretched out his little finger to hook the corner of Gu Qianjing’s windbreaker.

　　When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor started the examination after the consultation. Xiao Shu handed the little dinosaur that he had been holding in his arms to Gu Qianjing, and obediently followed the nurse to get a throat X-ray.

　　Even the doctor couldn’t help but praise the well-behaved child. “Such a well-behaved child is rare. I have been a pediatric doctor for more than 20 years, and there are only a handful of children who follow the nurse for examinations without crying or making a fuss.”

　　Gu Qianjing raised her chin with a proud look on her face.

　　On second thought, perhaps coming to the hospital for treatment was what Xiaoshu had always hoped for. He must have wanted to recover as soon as possible and be able to speak like other children, but he was delayed by his vicious mother.

　　The test results will take two hours to come out, so Gu Qianjing and Xiao Shu are waiting in the rest area for the time being.

　　Gu Qianjing was a little uneasy. What should she do if Xiaoshu couldn’t speak anymore?

　　She stood up, walked to the window and paced back and forth to relieve her inner anxiety.

　　Xiao Shu, on the other hand, had been sitting in the corner fiddling with the little dinosaur building blocks, looking very calm.

　　The nurse’s sweet voice sounded over the radio, “Please ask the parents of little Lin Shufeng to come to the specialist clinic, please ask the parents of little Lin Shufeng…”

　　The moment she heard the broadcast, Gu Qianjing almost jumped out, but the hem of her clothes was caught by something.

　　Xiao Shu held the assembled little dinosaur in his arms and stared at Gu Qianjing with wide eyes.

　　”Xiao Shu, do you want to go too?” Gu Qianjing asked.

　　Xiao Shu nodded firmly.

　　”Ah, this…” She was a little hesitant. If the test results were not ideal, she was afraid that it would cause secondary harm to Xiaoshu.

　　Xiao Shu seemed to see her hesitation, and took the initiative to hold Gu Qianjing’s hand and nodded to her.

　　Gu Qianjing held the soft little hand in her palm, took Xiao Shu’s hand and walked towards the doctor’s office.

　　She said to herself, no matter what the result is, I will not give up, Xiaoshu, you will definitely speak again!
