Chapter 567 Who isn't a baby at heart!
"Ok?"

Gao Dongxu leaned against the French windows in the living room, a half-smoked cigarette between his fingers, the bluish-white smoke swirling upwards, blurring the message notifications on his phone screen. His gaze, however, was no longer on the phone, but rather frequently glanced towards the bedroom, his voice tinged with a hint of helplessness, yet unable to conceal his anticipation.

"Alright, almost there—"

Laura's voice came from the bedroom, the last syllable rising slightly, like a small hook gently scratching at Gao Dongxu's heart.

The next second, the bedroom door was pushed open.

Gao Dongxu's breath hitched slightly, and the cigarette ash fell silently from between his fingers.

Sunlight streamed obliquely through the floor-to-ceiling windows, as if specially bathing her in a soft glow. Laura stood at the boundary between light and shadow, her eyelashes curled like butterfly wings, fluttering slightly and scattering wisps of golden light. Her eyes were clear and lively, with slightly upturned corners, carrying a touch of languid allure. Her delicate features appeared even more radiant in the light, and her full red lips, like ripe cherries, made one want to take a bite.

She wore a perfectly tailored black suit dress, the fabric clinging to her curves, from her slender waist to her full hips, every undulation like a meticulously sculpted work of art.

The V-neck design perfectly revealed her slender neck and subtly visible collarbone, making her skin appear even whiter against the black fabric, exuding a cool and alluring sexiness. Her makeup was exquisite yet understated, with a touch of red on her lips, as fiery and captivating as fire.

She stood there, looking both like a shrewd and capable professional and a bewitching enchantress; the contradictory qualities blended perfectly within her, making her captivating.

Gao Dongxu's Adam's apple bobbed, and he casually stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray. He strode over and, almost aggressively, grabbed her waist, pulling her into his arms.

"Dressed like this, are you deliberately trying to keep me from going out?" His voice was deep, carrying a hint of danger.

Laura chuckled, lightly tapping his chest with her fingertip, her red lips parted slightly: "Hehe, save your strength, when we're done, we can stay in bed all the time—".

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Dongxu had already lowered his head and kissed him.

His kiss was urgent and deep, as if he wanted to meld her whole being into his body. Her lips were soft and warm, with a faint rose scent. He almost greedily captured her breath, his fingertips tightening around her waist, as if afraid she would disappear in the next second.

Laura leaned back slightly from his kiss, but still wore a relaxed smile. She ran her fingers through his hair, gently scratching his scalp, as if indulging a wild beast out of control.

Open up all of Laura to him, she's an absolute scourge.

And he was willing to drown in it.

After a long silence, their lips parted, and Laura alluringly touched her red lips with her slender fingers, coquettishly laughing, "You ate all my lipstick—"

"Don't tempt me anymore—" Gao Dongxu said fiercely, taking a deep breath.

"Hehe, OK, then, loosen my conscience? My conscience is hurting..." Laura said with a charming and coquettish smile.

Since last night, she had noticed Gao Dongxu's infatuation with her body, especially her conscience; he was like a baby who had been starving for a long time and hadn't grown up.

"I can't help it, I really love them to death—" Gao Dongxu said reluctantly.

"From now on, they're yours." Laura looked at Gao Dongxu with seductive eyes, raised her arms to wrap around his neck, and said softly.

"Thank you, I will cherish them as I cherish my own eyes." Gao Dongxu smiled happily and gently kissed Laura's red lips.

Laura smiled charmingly.

Laura was truly satisfied with her handsome lover, Gao Dongxu, who possessed an exotic charm.

Not only did he touch her heart and melt her love that had been frozen for many years, but he also stepped in to help her without hesitation when she needed help the most, risking his life to save her and her adopted son.

A mix of feelings of affection, gratitude, and being moved caused her to fall hopelessly into Gao Dongxu's love trap.

Of course, Gao Dongxu's extraordinary talent beyond his race and his magnanimous and generous nature completely won her over.

You must understand that for a French woman whose genes are etched with elegance and chic, the pleasures of the bedroom are extremely important, even to the point of being an obsession.

French women believe that love without sex is unacceptable.

Therefore, Laura not only didn't mind Gao Dongxu's obsession and infatuation with her and her body, but was actually quite proud and enjoyed it.

Moreover, the two are so well-matched and compatible that they are a perfect match made in heaven!

In the hospital, Gao Dongxu stood aside, watching Laura speak gently to Liu Can, who had just woken up.

"Alright, he just woke up, let him rest well."

Seeing Laura begin to sob and cry, Gao Dongxu reached out and gently patted her shoulder, speaking softly.

"Hmm..." Laura wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and with a smile through her tears, introduced Liu Can: "Do you remember when we met at the museum? He is Alexander, and we are in love."

"Hello, Liu Can, we meet again. Don't move, lie down and rest well." Gao Dongxu smiled as he looked at Liu Can, who was looking at him, and stopped Liu Can from moving around, who was suddenly a little excited. "You, hello... I, I've seen you in my dreams, I've seen you..." Liu Can looked at Gao Dongxu and said weakly and intermittently.

Laura and Gao Dongxu exchanged a glance. Laura held Liu Can's small hand and asked softly, "Baby, don't overthink things. Close your eyes and rest well. I need to go out for a bit. If you need anything, just tell the nurse..."

After giving his instructions, Lao La noticed his adopted son staring intently at Gao Dongxu. He gently stroked Liu Can's cheek twice.

"His dream is his awakening process."

As they left the ward, Gao Dongxu put his arm around Laura's waist and walked intimately toward the elevator, whispering something to her.

"I just hope he can grow up safely and happily, I don't want him to become some kind of chosen one..." A worried, bitter smile appeared on Laura's beautiful face.

“Then you should listen to me and take him to settle down in China. With the safety of the environment there and my protection, you and he will no longer have to live in fear,” Gao Dongxu advised again.

Laura turned her head, her beautiful eyes sparkling brightly as she looked at Gao Dongxu, and said softly with a smile, "Aren't you very powerful in the Celestial Empire?"

"Hmm? Why would you say that?" Gao Dongxu asked with a smile and raised an eyebrow.

"I guessed." Laura and Gao Dongxu exchanged glances, and she smiled charmingly. "I guessed right, didn't I?"

Gao Dongxu chuckled and nodded frankly, saying, "You guessed right. I do have some power, so you can live a peaceful and happy life in the Celestial Empire. No one or any force can threaten you or Liu Can."

To be honest, I'm really worried that there are other people in your adoptive mother's foundation who know the truth. The temptation of immortality is just too great; even if it's just a legend, countless people will want to try and obtain it.

"Hmm." Laura's expression turned serious. She nodded slightly, then suddenly looked up at Gao Dongxu with incredibly bright eyes and asked, "What about you? Do you also want to gain immortality?"

Looking at Laura's stunningly beautiful face, now cold and aloof, and her piercing eyes, Gao Dongxu chuckled and said, "I don't believe in immortality. I've heard and encountered many legends about immortality, but they've all turned out to be jokes."

"Huh?!" Laura was slightly taken aback by Gao Dongxu's answer, then her beautiful eyes widened as she curiously asked, "Do you know of any other ways to achieve immortality?"

"Hehe, of course. In the five thousand years of civilization and history of the Celestial Empire, countless people and emperors throughout the ages have pursued the elusive pursuit of immortality. There are many methods and approaches, but in the end, it has been proven that only health preservation can lead to longevity; no one can live forever."

Gao Dongxu smiled and looked into Laura's bright, beautiful eyes. He said softly, "I don't believe in immortality, so you don't need to worry that I will harm Liu Can. My contact with you is not for Liu Can. From the beginning, my target has been you. It is your beauty and sexiness that attracted me and made me unable to extricate myself."

Hearing Gao Dongxu's directness, Laura blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Alexander, I didn't mean to doubt you, I just..."

"No need to explain, I understand your thoughts and doubts. If I were in your shoes, I would also remain vigilant and suspicious."

Gao Dongxu hugged Laura tightly, their eyes met, and he spoke softly.

"Thank you for your understanding and honesty. I believe you." Laura's red lips curled slightly as she stood on tiptoe and kissed Gao Dongxu's lips.

"Click——"

Come in—

With a complicated expression on her pretty face, Laura opened the door to her adoptive mother's house, took a deep breath, and invited Gao Dongxu inside.

Seeing the sadness and complex expression in Laura's eyes, Gao Dongxu pulled her into his arms, gently stroked her arm, and softly comforted her, "In our country, there is a saying, 'Debts disappear when a person dies.' It means that no matter how many bad things a person does or how much debt they owe in their lifetime, once they die, everything disappears."

"Mm." Laura felt much better after hearing Gao Dongxu's words of comfort.

To be honest, she just didn't know how to face the feelings of being raised for more than 20 years, the hatred between her parents, and the inheritance that her adoptive mother had recently signed to leave her.

Gao Dongxu could understand Laura's complex psychology, but understanding was one thing, but the real person involved was Laura, and no one could comprehend her contradictions, complex sadness, pain, and entanglement.

“Come on, the study is over there—” Laura exhaled a breath of stale air and led Gao Dongxu toward the study.

In the study, the two did not spend too long before finding a safe embedded in the wall behind a stack of books on the bookshelf.

"What's the password?" Laura asked Gao Dongxu.

"0930--"

Laura's fingers trembled slightly as she placed them on the keys. Her eyes reddened, and she bit her red lips tightly, trying to hold back her tears. After taking a deep breath, she pressed the password.

"Click——"

The safe door popped open, and Laura opened it to see what was inside.

A black leather-bound notebook with a tattered cover, a bulging leather bag, and a box.
