And as she comforted herself, Song Qingwan asked Lu Li to refer to her as “auntie” without any burden to her conscience despite the fact that she could really be Lu Li’s grandmother at her age.
But Lu Li herself felt quite conflicted.
She didn’t want to leave her daddy alone.
It was dangerous for him to be out there alone, as there were many people that wanted to harm him. If she wasn’t there and something terrible happened to her daddy, she would have to kill herself to make things right!
However, it was all thanks to auntie that she could find her daddy, and auntie treated daddy really well too.
So, she couldn’t do bad things to her.
The little girl frowned and thought for a very long while before finally making the call to stay behind and accompany Song Qingwan despite her worries.
However, she didn’t forget to give all her luck to her daddy.
“Daddy, remember to come home early!” Lu Li reminded him.
The little girl stood at the door and watched as he left with an anxious look in her eyes.
Lu Junhan didn’t even turn around when he said. “I’m not coming back.”
The little girl pouted as tears started swelling in her dark eyes, “Booho-…”
“I lied.”
“…”
Bad daddy!
Afterward, under Song Qingwan’s strict guidance, everyone in the mansion started working overtime to buy all the necessities for the newly arrived little princess.
Just her clothes, shoes, accessories, and dolls that little girls liked to play with alone had filled up several carts and two empty rooms.
They almost couldn’t stuff any more items into these rooms.
It could clearly be seen just how much Song Qingwan liked Lu Li.
After around four or five days, all of Lu Li’s basic necessities had been prepared. Even her resident registration was completed under Lu Junhan’s name.
And now, with the state’s official recognition, Lu Li had become Lu Junhan’s daughter. Finally, she had become the authentic little princess of the Lu Family.
Originally, those outsiders had only taken the rumors with a big pinch of salt. But now, they were all instantly shocked.
That little girl was really Lu Junhan’s daughter!
She was even registered to his household registration, and that meant that Lu Junhan’s parenthood was already confirmed. It no longer could be doubted as false rumors.
In an instant, the entire Hai City’s elite social circle was astonished!
The news spread like wildfire within the span of a day. Pretty much everyone knew about the little girl Lu Li.
Many of them had secretly started investigating who Lu Li’s birth mother was.
What kind of woman would have the charisma to make Young Master Lu, who hated children, to acknowledge this openly!
It was a miracle!
It was really hard to believe.
And then, at this time…
The little girl who had caused a public uproar in the outside world was sitting on the stone steps unhappily.
She pouted her mouth and stared at the gates with her big, watery eyes as if she was waiting for someone to come back. She didn’t cry, nor did she make a fuss out of it. Her unexpected degree of thoughtfulness had made everyone feel sympathy for her.
Song Qingwan had already seen her acting like that a few times, and she could no longer stand by and do nothing. She whipped out her mobile phone and gave Lu Junhan a call.
“What is it?”
The man’s cold voice came from the other side as normal.
Song Qingwan looked at Lu Li and couldn’t help but sigh before yelling into her phone, “Boy! I know you’re busy fighting with the old man, but no matter how busy you are, you need to set some time aside to spend with your daughter, do you understand?”
Lu Junhan frowned as he asked, “What happened to the little thing?”
As soon as he mentioned the little thing, he instantly recalled a beautiful but pitiful little face. She was so small, soft, and fragile.
Song Qingwan’s lips twitched. Her tone evidently filled with envy as she said, “What do you think? The little girl misses her father. She’s waiting for you to come home by the doorstep!”
“I wanted to call you earlier, but she stopped me from doing so. She said that you’re busy with work, and she didn’t want me to disturb you!”
She got increasingly envious of Lu Junhan the more she spoke. “I wonder what good deeds you had done in your past life to deserve such a good daughter!”
“…”
Lu Junhan paused, and said with a deep voice, “After finishing this, I will spend some time with her…”
“Stop saying that! Your work is never going to end!”
Song Qingwan then said decisively, “Make it today then! Today is a Saturday, and it’s your day off anyway. Come back as soon as possible and bring Li Li to the hospital.”
“The hospital?” The look in Lu Junhan’s eyes darkened as he asked, “What happened to her?”
