"Young master, I can explain this matter to you properly."
"Uncle, I’m not some young master. Don’t think that you can tempt me !"
Zhao Chen, seeing that he was still unwilling to open the door, simply gave up on entering and stood at the door, patiently saying, "Then should I address you by your name? Momo, here’s the thing, Director Gu usually speaks in a way that commands respect. His tone has already improved compared to before. Moreover, he has never been a daddy and lacks that experience; he doesn’t know what other kids’ daddies are like."
Little Momo thought about it and reluctantly accepted this reasoning.
He had seen his videos and other introductions; this stone-faced daddy always seemed cold and detached.
If it was due to inexperience, it wasn’t incomprehensible.
He moved a stool and sat at the doorway, "Then uncle, first tell me, what is your plan exactly?"
Little Momo had already categorized this daddy among the villains, suspecting he was organized and planned to take them away from their mommy.
"You first appeared nearby, and then you took my sister and me to that man, what’s next?"
Zhao Chen was also confused; how was he supposed to know the inner thoughts of Director Gu!
"Next step, you all just meet..."
"That should be it." Zhao Chen recalled Director Gu’s nearly cautious actions; if the little miss also ran off, he guessed he wouldn’t forcibly take the two children back.
"Director Gu just found out about your existence, so he’s feeling very mixed and wants to meet you. But he’s actually also worried that you might not accept him," Zhao Chen made up on the fly since the BOSS wasn’t here, "He’s too embarrassed to show it, so you might not notice it."
"Then why pick a time when mommy isn’t here?" Xiaomo asked further, "Is it because he’s getting married, so he doesn’t want to see mommy?"
Zhao Chen was startled, "Of course not! Who said he’s getting married!"
"Hmph! Uncle, I remember now, you’re a liar."
"No no no, uncle is definitely not a liar. He really wants to meet your mommy and has seen her several times already. But he’s afraid meeting you kids might upset your mommy, so he’s keeping it a secret for now."
Afraid mommy might get upset?
If this uncle’s words are true, the reasoning is acceptable.
"Uncle, my sister and I will only be with mommy. If..." Xiaomo’s eyes darted, "he decides not to get married, then we might consider meeting him."
"That’s not true, young master. It’s because the old madam saw that he had no plans to marry and was anxious to have a great-grandchild, so that rumor started. Young master, see, isn’t there already a great-grandchild? And Director Gu himself has never agreed to any arranged marriage. Especially... especially since your mommy returned, I see that it’s unlikely to happen."
Xiaomo raised an eyebrow, half-believing.
Could he have misunderstood?
No no no, he must not let his slight desire for a daddy quickly defeat his resolve, nor let mommy suffer.
"Young master, you won’t believe anything I say unless you feel it yourself. But you haven’t had any contact with him, of course, you don’t know. How about this, you should spend some time with Director Gu and then decide what to do?"
This idea didn’t seem too bad.
"Why don’t you come out first and go fetch your sister back personally?" Zhao Chen continued to beat around the bush.
