Chapter 220: I Miss Daddy
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was finally the weekend Shu Pan was waiting for. She woke up early and packed some gifts for her father and Auntie Lu.
She took the earliest bus back. She missed the little darling Joy too much.
She had not seen her for more than a month.
As soon as she stepped through the door, she heard the little girl’s childish voice. “Grandpa, is Mommy really coming back to pick me up today?”

Because of him, Joy had lost fatherly love since she was young. He blamed himself all the time.
“Grandpa, does everyone have a father? Why don’t I have a father? Hua said that a child without a father was born from a rock, is that right?” Hua was his neighbour’s child and Joy’s good friend.
“Silly child, everyone has a father. You have one too. You can ask your mommy.” Shu Laide did not know how to answer, so he pushed the issue to Shu
Pan.
“Mommy said that Daddy went to work at a very faraway place. Why isn’t he back yet? Is he lost?” Joy asked doubtfully: She wondered if someone as old as her father could get lost. Otherwise, why didn’t he come home?
“Because he has to work to earn a lot of money to buy you beautiful dolls and clothes.” Shu Laide coaxed her. The little girl was getting older, and it was not easy to fool her.
“I don’t want dolls and clothes. I want Daddy, I want Daddy.” Joy suddenly became stubborn. In the past, she would not have wanted a father so strongly, but she saw that Hua’s father was very good to her. He carried her on his shoulder and even accompanied her to swim. They could do many fun things. She was very envious.
“Then wait for Mommy to come and tell her, okay?” Shulaide was at his wit’s end.
Shu Pan, who was outside the door, heard this and felt a wave of sadness. She had never really understood Joy. She thought that the girl was still young and did not understand. In fact, children’s hearts longed for love, especially the love of their parents.
She suddenly reflected on herself. Was she too selfish?
If Gu Shaoting regained his memory and wanted to form a relationship with Joy, she would not stop him, because Joy would grow up and she would understand.
She tried her best to hold back the tears in her eyes. Then, she smiled and walked into the inner room.
“Darling Joy, mommy is back.” Shu Pan called out gently.

Shu Pan hugged Joy’s little body tightly and picked her up.
“Aye, did Joy eat too much? Mommy can’t even carry you anymore.” Shu Pan said with a smile.
“Mommy, put me down. You’ll be tired. Grandma went out to buy groceries. She said she wanted to cook something delicious for you.” Joy struggled to get down.
Shu Pan put her down and greeted Shu Laide.
Looking at the deep mother-daughter relationship, Shu Laide was also gratified. It was right to give birth to Joy back then. Look, she is now the joy of the family.
During dinner, Shu Laide and Lu Lifen brought up the old topic again. “Panpan, you’re not young anymore. Joy is also older now. You should also think about your marriage. ”
“I understand.” Shu Pan nodded.
“Sigh, it’s all my fault…” Shu Pan interrupted Shu Laide before he could finish.
“Dad, I’m fine now. If there’s someone suitable, I’ll consider it, okay?” Shu Pan didn’t want him to blame himself..
