  Thus, Gu Jinglian threw out the priceless answer. “You’ll understand when you grow up.”


  “…” Baby Chu thought hard but could not figure it out. “Don’t keep talking about when I grow up! Because even when I grow up, I still won’t understand why my mommy is so good but you don’t want her.”


  Gu Jinglian was dumbstruck.

  “Even when I grow up, I won’t understand why you’d give birth to me even though you clearly hate each other?”


  Baby Chu hugged his thigh in distress and said sadly, “Daddy, do you know that when Baby Chu was born, he thought that he didn’t have a father! Other children had fathers, but only Baby Chu didn’t! Baby Chu saw other children being carried by their fathers every day, and wondered why it wasn’t the same for Baby Chu. Was Baby Chu not good enough? Why didn’t Daddy want Baby Chu?”


  His words were extremely heart-wrenching.

  The little fella looked up and tilted his head. He suddenly stammered, “Actually… you know what? I’m still quite grateful to that auntie! She kidnapped me and brought me to this city. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to meet you, right?”


  The “auntie” he was referring to was naturally Song Enya.

  If it weren’t for her, perhaps he would never know that he actually had a father!

  Even if this father of his was quite fierce at times and was like an iceberg when he spoke, and he would even glare at him fiercely. Hence, although he hated Song Enya, he was also a little grateful.

  Somehow, he had found his father. However, when he thought of the icy relationship between Gu Jinglian and Chu He that seemed impossible to reconcile, he frowned. When he woke up in the morning and placed Gu Jinglian’s and Chu He’s hands together, it was only because he had a beautiful wish.

  He had no intention of forcing them, but it was his hope that his daddy would truly become his daddy. He hoped that Gu Jinglian would not only be good to him, but also good to Chu He.

  When Gu Jinglian heard this, his gaze deepened.

  Back then, it was an accident between him and Chu He. Baby Chu’s birth was just an accident. There was no love, no crystallization of emotions. The truth was straightforward and cruel, but it was the truth.

  Before this, he had allowed Chu He to stay in the Gu family because of Baby Chu. The boy relied on Chu He, and Gu Jinglian also cared about the boy’s feelings, so he had allowed Chu He to stay in the Gu family residence. But that was all, he had never thought about how to deal with the problem between him and Chu He.

  However, Baby Chu’s uneasiness and hesitation made him reconsider this issue.

  Gu Jinglian lowered his head and looked at Baby Chu hugging his leg. He looked so aggrieved that the man was compelled to gently reassure him, “Don’t worry, you won’t have a stepmother!”


  This was his promise to Baby Chu!

  And his word was as good as gold.

  When Baby Chu received his guarantee, he felt a great sense of relief!

  “Uh huh! It’s a deal!” The boy stuck out his pinky and added, “Pinky swear!”


  Gu Jinglian was stunned, but he compromised and hooked his pinky around the boy’s.

  Baby Chu said sternly, “Once you’ve pinky swore, you’re not allowed to lie for a hundred years!”


  With that said, he earnestly stamped an imaginary ‘mark’ on Gu Jinglian’s thumb and was satisfied!

  This little guy seemed to be easily satisfied. After he had given this promise, the boy seemed to have stopped pestering him!

  All he wanted was a small sense of security!
