Little Youyou still had tears in the corners of her eyes, her eyes wide open, looking watery at the man who had picked her up.
Ah ah ah, it’s actually Uncle!
Caught up in the excitement, she opened her chubby little arms and pounced on him, clinging to his neck, sobbing loudly, "Wuuu wuuu, it hurts, Uncle, I fell and it hurts..."
Shuman stood by, utterly shocked.
When she had just come out of the cocktail party, she was with Gu Annan, but he quickly shook her off.
At that moment, Shuman had glanced a few more times in the direction of Lu Wanwan.
She had also looked up his ex-wife these past few days, only to find that she had been rumored with Bai Lingyun early on and divorced because of an affair.
Now that there was another man by her side, was Gu Annan simply too concerned about this ex-wife, or was it that, because of the past grudges he couldn’t let go, he didn’t want to see her well off?
A person like Gu Annan, having been cheated on, would never forgive her in his lifetime.
Shuman searched around for a while before she saw him alone on the second floor.
She wanted to ask about Grandma’s birthday banquet, but before she could speak, she didn’t know whose child suddenly ran out.
How careless you are, it’s you," Gu Annan said, surprisingly, as he picked her up with one hand and checked her leg.
The skin was grazed and red.
The little plump white leg made the wound stand out conspicuously.
It didn’t make his heart ache.
"Uncle, I got excited for a moment when I saw you!" Little Youyou wiped her tears, her bright watery eyes locking on his, still clinging to him, "Uncle, I... I can’t walk anymore, I fell and now I can’t walk!"
Gu Annan’s lips curled slightly as if smiling, clearly, it was just a scrape.
Yet she was being so clingy, but he somehow couldn’t get angry; instead, he felt some of the annoyance in his heart dissipate.
"Where are your parents?" he asked. "I will take you over to them so they can get some medicine for you."
Little Youyou was a bit nervous; she remembered she shouldn’t reveal her mummy, and she didn’t have a daddy.
Was she doomed? How should she answer?
If she lied and Uncle found out, what if he didn’t like her anymore?
Panic set in, her mind went blank, and she ended up sobbing again, "Uncle, I don’t want to go, I can walk now, it doesn’t hurt, could you not send me away?"
After her initial surprise, Shuman walked forward with a smile, "Gu Big Brother, whose daughter is this? She’s so cute."
Gu Annan ignored her completely, his eyes softening as he looked at the little Lolita in his arms, "I won’t send you away, but first tell me, what’s your name and whose child are you?"
Shuman originally thought they knew each other but realized Gu Annan also had no idea who she was.
The child was overly affectionate and not shy with strangers at all.
Little Youyou didn’t know how to respond, but she furrowed her little brows tightly, clutching Gu Annan’s shirt, and looked at Shuman suspiciously, "Uncle, who is she? Is she... your girlfriend?"
As she asked this question, her heart pounded with nervousness.
"No," Gu Annan said, seeing how anxiously she gripped his clothes, starting to feel a headache coming on, wondering how he would face others later.
Shuman’s expression turned a shade darker for a moment.
"Really?" Little Youyou was immediately delighted and, though her face was still wet with tears, she began to smile.
"Really," he said, squatting down and setting her on the ground, "Can you walk? Does it really not hurt anymore?"
Little Youyou pouted, looked down at her leg, and said, "It hurts a little... Uncle, does it look really bad, being injured ?"
