Chapter 99: Mr. Song, You Haven't Left Yet?
Translator: ShinoJ
Gu Chu was excellent at using her cuteness to her advantage.
She would secretly look at herself in the mirror in the middle of the night and practise it to perfection. No one could resist the sweet smile of a five-year-old little girl.
Back then, Gu Chu and Gu Manxi lived in Ping An Town, and they were so poor that they couldn't eat meat. Gu Chu had no choice but to rely on her sweet smile to exchange a lot of free eggs with the auntie next door.
"Uncle, are you hungry? I have some pastries here, I'll give you a piece." As she spoke, Gu Chu opened the exquisite pastry box and took out a piece of mung bean cake and handed it over.
Lu Shanhe stiffly took the piece of cake.
Daughter?
A five-year-old daughter?
Lu Shanhe's mind spun quickly. Could this be Song Chen's...
At the thought of this, Lu Shanhe became even angrier! For the past five years, Gu Manxi had been raising the child by herself. It must have been very difficult for her!
Lu Shanhe turned around and glared fiercely at Song Chen. Son of a b*tch.
Song Chen knew he was in the wrong and sighed.
"Chuchu, be good. Uncle came in a hurry today. Next time, Uncle will buy a gift for Chuchu." Lu Shanhe walked over and held Gu Chuchu's small hand. "What do you like?"
Gu Manxi said from the side, "Sir, don't spoil the child. She doesn't need anything."
"Chuchu wants the latest game figurines," Gu Chu said seriously. "I don't like Barbie dolls at all."
Lu Shanhe smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle will remember it."
In the corner, Song Chen, Gu Chu's actual father, quietly hid the gift (Barbie doll) in his right hand.
Who said that five-year-old girls liked Barbie dolls? My daughter didn't.
When Lu Shanhe saw Gu Manxi again, he wanted to say something. They were both teachers and friends. Lu Shanhe could not hide his feelings for Gu Manxi.
Gu Manxi had not seen her teacher for a long time. The two of them chatted in the garden. Lu Shanhe talked about his work in the past few years. Gu Manxi said that the two of them had a good time talking about her everyday life in the past few years.
Song Chen also wanted to follow, but Nanny Zhao coldly blocked his way. Auntie Zhao had long received Zhao Yan's instructions to prevent both burglars and Song Chen.
Song Chen had no choice but to sit in the house sourly.
His baby daughter and Cheng Qi were having a good time. Fang Zheng was in the kitchen helping Auntie Zhao prepare the ingredients while Gu Manxi was chatting with Lu Shanhe in the garden.
The great President Song was all alone and felt an unprecedented sense of loss.
...
In the blink of an eye, dusk arrived.
Cheng Qi was the first to leave. He was still the head of the Cheng family and had countless tasks on his hands.
Cheng Qi pinched Gu Chu's soft little face and said, "Big Brother will visit you another day." After that, he left under Gu Chu's rolling eyes.
Gu Chu sincerely felt that there was something wrong with this fifteen-year-old teenager's head.
In order to get close to Gu Manxi, he decided to take the long way and win Gu Manxi's favor by starting with her child.
"I remember that Cheng Qi died quite miserably in the original novel." Gu Chu touched her chin. Seeing that he had seriously pursued Manxi and saved her several times, Gu Chu decided that she might save his life when required next time.
But I suggest you don't pursue my mother. There are a lot of love rivals, and you are at least the fifth one in line...
On the other side, Lu Shanhe had something to do, so he left first. Gu Manxi sent Lu Shanhe out, and before she left, Lu Shanhe said seriously, "Ruoxi... oh no, Manxi, I hope you can consider my request. You're living very well now, and you don't have the troubles of the past anymore. You can make plans for yourself."
Gu Manxi lowered her eyes and nodded slightly. "Mr Lu, I'll consider it."
Lu Shanhe looked at her deeply and did not say anything else. He turned around and left.
Gu Manxi stood at the door for a while.. When she turned around, she was surprised to find Song Chen eavesdropping from the corner of the wall. Gu Manxi said in surprise, "Mr Song, you haven't left yet?"
