Baby Chu realized that he had already left Butler Fu’s arms. When he looked up and met Gu Jinglian’s disdainful and gloomy gaze, his tears fell even more violently.
“Boo hoo.., I don’t want you to carry me…” Baby Chu turned around and reached his little arms out towards Butler Fu. Waving his arms around, he pleaded,” I don’t want him to carry me… Boo hoo… I don’t want him to carry me…”
Butler Fu could not bear to see Baby Chu like this, feeling sorry for him. However, he looked at Baby Chu and knew that the most important thing now was for Baby Chu to strengthen his relationship with his father.
Thus, he steeled himself, spun around and strode out of the room.
With a bang, the door closed. Only Gu Jinglian and Baby Chu were left in the huge room.
Baby Chu cried even more helplessly.
After Butler Fu left, Gu Jinglian became less restrained. When he heard Baby Chu’s relentless crying, he threatened fiercely, “If you cry again, I won’t be nice to you.”
“Mmm…”
When Baby Chu heard this, he felt wronged and afraid. However, such threats were very effective on him. He stopped crying in an instant.
When Butler Fu was present just now, he dared to challenge Gu Jinglian because of him.
Now that Butler Fu had left and his only pillar of support was gone, he did not dare to act rebelliously. After the scare from Gu Jinglian’s, he learned to behave himself. Pouting, he did not utter a single word.
Right now, there was only him and this bad uncle in the room. He had no one to rely on, nor was there anyone to back him up. Therefore, he must not overstep his boundaries anymore. It was time to stop when appropriate!
Seeing how Baby Chu deferred so quickly to threats, Gu Jinglian did not know what to feel.
“You’ve learned your lesson, huh?”
Seeing that Baby Chu had finally stopped crying, Gu Jinglian was naturally satisfied. As expected! Children should not be spoilt. When it’s time to be fierce, I had to be fierce.
Just by shouting at Baby Chu, he immediately stopped!
He carried Baby Chu to the sofa and sat beside him, only to see Baby Chu staring at him innocently. He trembled as he cowered in a corner of the sofa, scrutinising Gu Jinglian’s expression timidly. A child at such a young age actually knew how to observe someone’s expressions. Seeing that Gu Jinglian’s expression was no longer as menacing as before, Baby Chu’s frantically beating heart finally calmed down.
Baby Chu thought to himself, How should I return to my mother’s side?
After thinking for a while, he scrutinized Gu Jinglian again. Since crying and kicking up a fuss did not work, the little fellow decided to use a stalling tactic.
Hence, he pursed his lips and asked carefully, “Uncle, can we reconcile? I’m not angry at you anymore, so don’t be fierce to me, okay?”
Gu Jinglian glanced at him and grunted. Baby Chu took it as a silent agreement.
“Then, we’ll reconcile!”
As Baby Chu spoke, he raised his little hand and clumsily wiped away the tears on his face. His eyes darted around nimbly and he suddenly asked, “Uncle, Butler Fu said that you’re my father. Is that true? Or is it a joke?”
Gu Jinglian narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not know what this little fellow was up to, so he casually crossed his legs and gracefully stretched. He affirmed, “It’s true.”
“No way!”
Baby Chu naturally did not believe them. He asked suspiciously, “Are you guys lying to me?”
He cursed silently.
