Although Gu Qingchen was calm and reserved, how could he not be happy when he found out that this little girl he had been longing for was truly his little princess!
The first time he met her at the hospital, he felt a familiar and inexplicable sensation!
The second time he saw her in a lecture hall at A University, she was holding hands with Zong Zheng, and he unexpectedly felt a father’s jealousy coveting his daughter!
Then, the third time he saw her being led by Tang Baijin, his heart ached...
Gu Qingchen reached out to embrace Xiao Yuyu in his arms and spun around several times on the spot.
Xiao Yuyu stretched out her arms like she was flying, and her joyful laughter echoed continuously in the villa.
At that moment, Bei Ran actually saw a tear gleaming in the corner of Gu Qingchen’s eyes.
Bei Ran’s heart was also a mess of softness; the misunderstandings of six years ago had finally brought a ray of sunshine through the overcast skies six years later, illuminating their lives.
Watching how excited both father and daughter were, even the deeply reserved Gu Qingchen couldn’t help but tremble at the fingertips while holding Xiao Yuyu.
He was always a man of great responsibility. Although it wasn’t his fault that his daughter had been away for five years, he still felt that he hadn’t fulfilled his duties as a father!
Fortunately, Xiao Yuyu adored him, was so attached to him, and liked him so much!
Later, Gu Qingchen took out a small red envelope: "Here, a gift from daddy to Xiao Yuyu..."
"Wow, a red envelope!" Xiao Yuyu was thrilled, "Daddy, the red envelope..."
When she opened it, it turned out to be a small notebook, blank, without a single page written, and there was also a small pen.
Xiao Yuyu pouted: "Daddy..."
Seeing her aggrieved expression, Gu Qingchen chuckled: "This is a wish book. Whatever wishes Xiao Yuyu has, you can write them in here, and daddy will make sure they come true."
The little one immediately became happy; for her, such a wish book was far more significant compared to a red envelope!
"Thank you, daddy..." Xiao Yuyu happily hugged him, but soon, she became worried again: "What if I run out of pages in this wish book?"
Gu Qingchen said with boundless longing: "By then, our little Xiao Yuyu will have grown up, so shall we get a bigger one?"
"Yes!" Xiao Yuyu jumped up, her little skirt fluttering, dancing like a butterfly in joy.
Xiao Yuyu had a lot to say, "This is the happiest day ever; I have a daddy now..."
After Gu Qingchen put Xiao Yuyu to bed that night, he went to the living room, where Bei Ran leaned on the sofa, her eyes half-open and somewhat groggy.
She saw him come out then stared at him.
Her eyes were still red, and because of the cold and the crying earlier, her nose was even more congested!
Although she felt physically miserable, her heart was joyful.
Because her daughter was happy, she was happy too.
"Is Xiao Yuyu asleep?" Bei Ran asked. "She had a lot of fun today!"
Gu Qingchen walked over, sat casually on the sofa, but he remained silent.
His expression had regained its seriousness; under the brilliant crystal light and amidst the gleaming play of light and shadow, Bei Ran felt, for a moment, that he was extremely angry.
She then softly said, "I’ll make you a cup of tea!"
She headed to the usual place where the tea leaves were kept but couldn’t find them!
She stood for a while, then understood.
Perhaps this was no longer his home!
She took a deep breath and approached him: "I can’t find where the tea leaves are kept."
Gu Qingchen stared at her, her nose still running, even her small, cute nose was red.
"Bei Ran, you are truly cruel!" Gu Qingchen lit a cigarette but said just that!
Bei Ran didn’t argue; she understood his feelings.
Anyone who saw their child being called parentless by other children in the kindergarten would be bleeding inside.
Moreover, it was Gu Qingchen, a doctor!
But did she want to be cruel?
"I didn’t want it either." Bei Ran said with a thick nasal voice.
Gu Qingchen didn’t respond, just sank deeper into the sofa.
His fingers were long and strong, the hands that held surgical tools were always very deft.
