Gradually, he acknowledged Baby Chu’s identity, and the fact that he was his son! And gradually, because of Baby Chu, he stopped being hostile towards Chu He.

  …


  People are not born indifferent. However, the environment had contributed to his cold personality. Gu Jinglian did not avoid coming to terms with the fact that he was a ruthless man. He also did not deny that to many, he was like a Demon King. But in his opinion, what was scarier than evil was hypocrisy disguised as justice.

  Human beings are inherently selfish. Perhaps they are born untainted by even a speck of dust, but as they grow up, they would inevitably be tainted, with no exceptions. The only difference was that his evil was purer and he did not bother to hide it at all.

  …


  Baby Chu did not sleep well the entire night. He slept with Butler Fu and even after Butler Fu had fallen asleep, the boy’s imagination was still running wild.

  He couldn’t remember which subordinate had suggested this rotten idea to him.

  The person said that whether saint or sinner, as long as a normal man and woman are lying on the same bed, there is bound to be strange chemistry. Baby Chu understood this saying—sleeping on the same bed would improve their relationship!

  How would the little fellow understand love and relationships? He was just basing it on his own experience with Chu He. Every time he slept with his mother, he felt especially safe! So if his daddy and mommy slept together, Mommy might feel safe! All the better if he could make his mommy rely on his daddy and the other way round! That would fulfill his wish!

  Baby Chu did not rest well and drifted in and out of sleep till morning. However, when he thought of Gu Jinglian and Chu He, he felt energized and quickly got out of bed. He rushed to the room, unlocked the door and walked in. He saw Chu He sleeping on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket.

  Baby Chu was instantly dumbfounded. When he looked towards the bed again, he saw Gu Jinglian lying there. The man had immediately woken up when he heard the door open. He sat up on the bed, looking at the boy icily.

  “…Good morning, Daddy!”


  Baby Chu greeted him awkwardly. Just as he was about to ask why one was sleeping on the sofa and the other on the bed, he caught a glimpse of Gu Jinglian’s dangerous gaze from the corner of his eye. Immediately, he backed off.

  During breakfast, Gu Jinglian and Chu He went downstairs one after another. Baby Chu was sitting at the dining table, pouting pitifully as he watched them walk into the dining room and sit down beside him. Recalling the scene he saw when he had rushed into the room this morning, his blood boiled.

  Daddy was too disappointing! All his efforts had been in vain! In the end, his good intentions had all gone to waste! At the thought of this, he lost his appetite for breakfast!

  Seeing that his cheeks were puffed up with anger, Chu He resisted the urge to chide him and looked towards Gu Jinglian. Gu Jinglian’s anger had subsided by now. Considering that the boy was still young, he did not take issue with him. Besides, it wasn’t as though Baby Chu did these things out of bad intentions.

  He seemed to be very indulgent towards his son. Placing two slices of ham on his plate, Gu Jinglian suddenly said in a quiet voice, “Your mommy wants you to eat more meat.”


  It was merely a few words, yet it caused Baby Chu to instantly feel happy!

  At once, his appetite returned!
