With Shen Liang's secret assistance, Gu Xiaonuan felt hope emerging again.
Shen Liang certainly wouldn't help without reason. If he were to aid her, he must have had plans to ask Gu Xiaonuan for a favor one day.
Si Yuchen is a person cold to the bone; if Shen Liang had really decided to offend him one day in the future, then it made sense to take some precautions now.
Moreover, the value of this insurance is precisely where Shen Liang's brilliance lies.
Since Gu Xiaonuan decided to stay for the sake of the child, she would inevitably witness the day Shen Liang needs help.
Shen Liang, thanks to having Gu Xiaonuan by Si Yuchen's side as an ally, could act without fear.
This transaction between Gu Xiaonuan and Shen Liang, even though Gu Xiaonuan was still unaware of Shen Liang's true motives, as long as he could help solve her problems now, that was all she ever wanted.
