After careful consideration, the little packrat loyally chose to bear all the crimes on his own.
He shook his small head desperately. “No! No one instigated me! I didn’t like my stepmother…”
Gong Jue stared at him deeply. “I thought that you were very mature. I didn’t expect that you were actually still very childish. You’re still an insensible three-year-old.”
The little boy was speechless.
He hated it when people said that he was a three-year-old!
Gong Jue said, “She’s not your stepmother. She only has one identity in the future, and that is my wife. Whether you like her or not, you can’t influence me to be with her. The person who will spend the rest of her life with her is me, not you, and definitely not my grandparents. Gong Ting, you have to
understand that you can’t use your preferences to decide others’ matters. This is unfair.”
Songsong facepalmed. “Jue’er, he won’t understand if you talk to him like this…”
“T understand!” The boy suddenly raised his small face and said dejectedly.
Songsong was surprised. “What do you know?”
The boy said, “Daddy’s life is different from mine. But… I still don’t like my stepmother.”
Songsong was speechless.
Gong Jue was speechless. He suddenly felt that it was so difficult to educate a child.
In the ancestral hall.
When Gong Jue strode in with his long legs, he didn’t see anyone.
He frowned. Where was she?
Could it be that Gong Qing, that old man, was restless again and caused some trouble to bully his wife?
Holding the candle, he walked around the ancestral hall and realized that Gu Qiqi was leaning against the wall in the comer. She had actually… fallen asleep!
Gong Jue’s heart ached when he saw her slender figure huddled in a comer with her arms wrapped around herself.
She was too tired.
She was busy with his grandfather’s leg illness last night and didn’t sleep for nearly the entire night.
Today was filled classes and school competitions. She didn’t stop at all.
But he actually didn’t take good care of her and even let her suffer these hardships like sleeping on the cold floor of the ancestral hall!
“Tm sorry. I came too late…” Gong Jue took off his suit and draped it over her.
Gu Qigi was awoken by a commotion.
She propped herself up and sat up with sleepy eyes. “Oh… It’s all done?”
“It’s all done.” Gong Jue sat on the ground and hugged her gently. His fingers couldn’t help but caress her face and trace the shape of her lips. “You’re really smart. Everything was within your expectations. All is fair in war. You’ve successfully shown them the truth.”
Who said that his stupid woman was stupid? She was simply evil!
“Then, why did you still say that you were sorry?” Gu Qiqi rubbed her eyes and pouted lightly. Her slightly angry look was so pleasant.
Gong Jue’s eyes darkened.
Gu Qigi immediately felt that something was jumping around restlessly.
Needless to say, she could guess a little.
She blushed.
Gong Jue didn’t notice it at all.
“Tve let you down too much. I didn’t protect you well and let you be slandered. I didn’t take good care of you and let you sleep on the ground. I didn’t introduce you well and let my family always misunderstand you…”
He had long expected that the boy would object to their relationship.
This was very normal. After all, children liked their biological mother more.
But he didn’t expect Gong Qing to object so fiercely.
On his already bumpy road to wooing his wife, he actually became the biggest stumbling block because he was a father. From time to time, this fact would come to test, humiliate, and question her… It was fine if he didn’t think highly of himself, but he was actually the kind of parent who was
disappointing!
He really felt that he had let Gu Qiqi down..
