“Yes, I’m still staying at our old home. We’ll wait for you at home tonight. Take care of yourself. If you can’t get a ride, call me and we’ll pick you up.” Gu Shaoting nagged like an old man.
“Alright, thanks.” Shu Pan hung up after she said that.
Gu Shaoting looked at his phone after he was hung up on and smiled bitterly. The tables had really turned. As the CEO of a large corporation, when had he ever been hung up on? But he couldn’t get angry. Besides, it also seemed pointless to get angry.
He arrived at the kindergarten and picked up his little princess.
“Sweetie, Uncle Gu is taking you home today. Your mommy has something to do. She’ll pick you up later, okay?” Gu Shaoting squatted down and said to Joy.
“Mommy doesn’t want me anymore?” Joy’s eyes turned red, like she was about to cry.
“No, Mommy is just busy with something.” Gu Shaoting coaxed her with heartache as he helped her wipe her tears in a flustered manner.
“Joy, you haven’t been to Uncle Gu’s house, right? Uncle Gu’s house is huge. I even have a turtle. Do you want to go and see?” Gu Shaoting played his trump card.
“Really? Is it a big turtle?” Joy’s attention was suddenly diverted.
“Yes, let’s go. Uncle will take you for some dinner before we go home.” Gu Shaoting was relieved to finally see Joy smile.
“Okay, Uncle. It would be great if you were my father.” Joy said happily.
Gu Shaoting froze when he heard that. It turned out that the girl wanted badly for him to be her father. He had half a mind to tell his baby that he was her father.
However, he couldn’t do that now as this thing required Shu Pan’s approval. He planned to tell Shu Pan the truth soon and then acknowledge Joy.
“Joy, you can treat Uncle as your father. Tell me, what would you like to eat? Anything you want, Uncle will satisfy you.” Gu Shaoting promised Joy since Shu
Pan wasn’t around.
Everything would usually be restricted when Shu Pan was around.
“Really? Yay!” Joy was so happy that she wanted to stomp her feet. “I want to eat French fries and play with Barbie dolls.”
“That’s junk food, yeah? Your Mommy doesn’t usually let you eat it.” Although Gu Shaoting wanted to spoil Joy, he still wouldn’t let her eat things that were bad for her health. It was a matter of principle.
“Uncle, just a little bit, okay? My kindergarten friends have all tasted it. I’m the only who hasn’t.” Joy said pitifully, making it hard for people to reject her.
Gu Shaoting gave in. He couldn’t bear to see her eager little eyes, but he also had a condition. “You must have some rice and vegetables first before we get you a small order of French fries, okay?”
“Okay, whatever you say, Uncle.” Joy looked like a penguin as she nodded and walked at the same time.
Gu Shaoting carried her into the car and then took her to dinner.
It was true that this mother and daughter were Gu Shaoting’s focus now. Even deals worth hundreds of millions of yuan weren’t as important as them.
Joy chattered as they drove and told him everything that happened in school today. She seemed to have forgotten completely that her mother didn’t have time to go home with her today.
Gu Shaoting listened to her carefully, adding a warm sentence every now and then.
Gu Shaoting was very happy. Joy was his daughter. He would dote on her and watch over her like a gardener tending to a delicate blossom.
She would take on his surname because she was his blood.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Joy also held Gu Shaoting’s hand tightly, worried that she would get lost in the crowd.
Gu Shaoting picked her up and carried her proudly..
