Gu Rong didn't decide that he would raise Yating but that also came with its own set of apprehensions. He didn't doubt his ability to raise him financially since he was well-settled now. But that didn't mean that there wasn't a need for a mother in Yating's life.
The more he thought in that direction, the more he felt drowned in an endless sea of concern.
Yating needed a mother too. At this point, he was too young to understand the absence of a mother. But he was sure that a day would come when he would ask questions about it and when he might feel that wished he had a mother too.
That question also spiraled him in another line of thinking -
What if Yating ever learned the truth of him killing Luo Liuxian?
Butler Mo often tried his best to convince him. "Master, it wasn't your fault. You were only trying to protect young master."
