Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Gu Shaoting smiled weakly. Were all the kids nowadays so smart? She even knew the word “pursuing”.
He was a bit shocked. He had really underestimated the little girl’s intelligence. “Do you know what ‘pursuing’ means?”
“I do! I saw it on TV. It says that when a person likes another person, he will pursue her. Uncle, are you pursuing Mommy?” Joy asked.
“Yeah, are there any other uncles?” Gu Shaoting had no choice but to ask again. He felt that it was very shameless of him to ask a child about this. He almost despised himself now.
“Yes, Uncle Wen. He likes me and Mommy very much. There are other uncles too, but Mommy doesn’t like them.” Joy said with certainty.
Them? That meant that there was more than one other man pursuing Shu Pan. Gu Shaoting’s face darkened slightly. Sure enough, he had many competitors.

“Are you sure your mommy doesn’t like them?” Gu Shaoting tried to find out more from Joy.
“Just like how she treats you, Uncle Gu.” Joy even cited him as an example.
However, her answer almost made Gu Shaoting vomit blood. Did she like him or not?
Just like how she treated him?
Joy tilted her head and thought for a bit before she continued, “Uncle, you can ask Mommy when she comes back. She knows better.” After all, she was too young, and she couldn’t explain clearly.
Gu Shaoting stopped his line of questioning and played with Joy.
It was almost 8 p.m. when the doorbell rang.
Gu Shaoting knew that it was Shu Pan.
He opened the door and watched Shu Pan walk in with a tired face. She didn’t smell of alcohol.
That meant that she didn’t drink. She went out with a female friend?
“Where’s Joy?” Shu Pan asked as soon as she walked in.
“She’s playing in her princess room.” Gu Shaoting replied.
“What princess room?” Gu Shaoting led Shu Pan into Joy’s room.
Shu Pan was stunned. It turned out that he had converted one of the guest rooms into a child’s bedroom. He had also put in a lot of effort to decorate it according to Joy’s preferences.
No wonder Joy was so happy that she forgot about her own home.
The room was brightly lit. When Shu Pan walked in, a small figure rushed over and hugged her at the waist. The little girl called out sweetly, “Mommy, Mommy, you’re back. I missed you so much.”
Shu Pan squatted down and hugged Joy and kissed her little face. The intimate interaction between the mother and daughter was seen clearly by the elegant and cold figure nearby.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGu Shaoting watched Shu Pan with a complicated gaze. There was a trace of incomprehensible thoughts in his eyes.
“You said you missed Mommy but why do you only know now that I’m here?” Shu Pan was a little disappointed. Her daughter used to kick up a big fuss whenever she missed her. But now?
She forgot about her mother when playing with Gu Shaoting. Shu Pan didn’t know if it was a good thing or not.
It was a good thing that her daughter was independent, but they used to depend on each other. She was the one who was disappointed now.
Fledglings do eventually leave the nest.
“Mommy, look, this is the princess room that Uncle Gu created for me. I want to sleep here tonight.” Joy wrapped her arms around her mother’s neck and said coquettishly.
“What? This is Uncle Guts home. We’re going back to our own home to sleep.” Shu Pan was stunned. She didn’t expect Joy to think such thoughts and started regretting her dinner catch-up tonight.
“Uncle Gu said that Joy can treat this place as her home.” Shu Pan felt as if a flock of cartoon crows were cawing as they flew over her head; cold sweat
broke out on her forehead..
