Nuohan’s mother was so frightened that she started to speak incoherently. “But, these people are obviously from the underworld?! Could it be…”
“Stop talking!” Li Xianlai finally flared up. “Do you think the situation isn’t messy enough?!”
Nuohan’s mother was so terrified that she fell silent.
The little fatty sat on the ground and cried his lungs out. Li Xianlai was even more upset and kicked the car hard to vent his frustration!
…
On the way back to the Gu residence.
Baby Chu hugged the soft toy. His eyes were still red, but he stubbornly did not shed a single tear. However, along the way, he held the toy in his arms and could not bear to let go. Gradually, his mood became brighter!
Gu Jinglian looked at him. He noted that the boy had quickly gotten over the unhappiness, and did not let it get to him!
Chu He smiled and asked, “Is this toy that much fun?”
“Baby Chu likes it!” The boy smiled and said, “We won this prize together!”
As he said this, he excitedly said to Gu Jinglian, “Uncle, you’re so awesome today! Everyone else is so envious of me! Hmph! What a great comeback! I knew it, you’re the most handsome man in the world!”
Chu He was amused by his childish words.
This little guy!
Gu Jinglian raised his eyebrows. Noticing how the boy had addressed him, he said unhappily, “You changed the way you address me just like that?”
They had only just left the school, and now he was calling him ‘uncle’ again!
This kid.
The boy felt a little guilty, and he knew how to read people as well. He cautiously looked at Chu He and saw that she was smiling and did not seem to have any objections, so he stammered, “Daddy!”
“That is so reluctant. No one is forcing you to do anything!”
Baby Chu immediately moved towards him and nudged him. “I’m not! Unc… Daddy, don’t be annoyed! It’s just a habit!”
“I didn’t see that habit making an appearance while we were in school.”
The boy had kept calling him ‘daddy’ as if he wanted to ensure that everyone knew that the man was his father.
Baby Chu said guiltily, “It wasn’t like that!”
He was simply afraid that Chu He would take it to heart! If his mother didn’t mind, he would rather call him daddy! After all, they had been together for so long. It would be a lie if they did not have any feelings for each other. It was just that he did not rely on him like other children relied on their fathers!
Gu Jinglian snorted and put an arm around the boy’s shoulders. His voice became gentler. “Are you happy today?”
“Of course!” Such a young child would not know how to lie. He said sincerely, “Today is Baby Chu’s happiest day ever!”
When Chu He heard this, she felt upset. Ever since he was young, Baby Chu had been filled with curiosity and yearned for a father. He never had a father so he had always been ostracized by his peers. The other children attacked him and said that he had a mother but no father. This had always been Baby Chu’s sad past.
However, things were different now. Baby Chu had gained much dignity before all the other children. What more, with such a cool father like Gu Jinglian!
Who would have thought that such a young child would care about pride and such vanities! Although, this bit of vanity was so easily satisfied!
For a moment, Chu He felt a little guilty. She felt that she owed her son’s childhood too much.
As soon as they got home, Baby Chu held up the toy, his treasured spoils of war and ran towards Butler Fu. “Butler Fu, look! This is the toy we won! It’s really cute!”
