Cuteās little hand patted Su Baiās shoulder, nodding her head sagely: "Kid, you have a promising future!"
Just then, Su Baiās phone rang.
Everyoneās eyes darted towards his phone screen. The word "President" seemed particularly glaring.
Su Bai suddenly felt a chilling gaze land on him.
At the crowdās insistence, he reluctantly answered the call on speaker: "Hello...?"
"What are you doing?" Gu Liancheng sounded annoyed, "Iāve been waiting here for ten minutes."
"Mr... Mr. Gu..." Before Su Bai could finish, the intense gaze from many pairs of eyes interrupted him, "Miss Mengmeng doesnāt want to leave... Could she stay for a few more days? Let her have some fun, perhaps sheāll want to go home after a few days, sheās just a kid after all..."
"Immediately. No matter how! If you canāt bring her back, donāt come back either!"
Without another word, he hung up.
Su Bai looked pitifully at Cute: "Miss... see..."
"Ah... this Mr. Gu really... always bullying Big White! So, Iāll go back for now, Iāll come back again to play! Donāt miss me too much!" Cute didnāt want to make things harder for Su Bai. She climbed down from the coffee table, "Letās go Big White."
"Mengmeng..."
They knew Mengmeng had to leave someday, but even after bracing themselves, it was hard to let go.
Eleven squatted down to hug Mengmeng.
Cute comfortingly patted Eleven and said: "Eleven, donāt worry, Iāll come back! Wait until I beat Mr. Gu!"
"Yes... behave yourself, donāt make him angry. He likes it when people follow his lead, if heās happy, he might let you come play."
Mengmeng made an "OK" sign with her fingers.
When they escorted Mengmeng to the door, Eleven nudged Jiujiu: "Arenāt you going to say goodbye? Who knows when youāll see Mengmeng next."
"Itās not like we wonāt see her again."
Su Bai laughed, "Then, see you later young master, bye!"
Eleven said, "Stop it, just call him Jiujiu."
"Sure, sure... We are going now, goodbye Miss Fang, Miss Fei, and young master!"
He is Mr. Guās son! Who knows when he might officially recognize his family ties, they couldnāt afford to be rude!
...
"Youāre so slow picking up a child." Gu Liancheng had been left alone in the car for over ten minutes, and couldnāt help grumbling when Su Bai returned.
Su Bai said, "Mr. Gu, Cute has become attached to them over the past few days. Itās natural for her to be reluctant to leave."
"Sheās not her daughter, why is she so sentimental? Theyāre bound to part someday."
Not to mention, she isnāt even his stepmother now. Why did she have to lavish such attention on his kid?
Cute, who had been buckled into a safety seat by Su Bai, turned her head to look at Gu Liancheng: "Mr. Gu, be careful not to eat your words later. You might regret it!"
Gu Liancheng turned his face lazily, looking at her: "How so, are you going to tell me that she is really your mom?"
Cute giggled: "Perhaps, who knows!"
As soon as they got home, Cute jumped out of the car and ran in. Su Bai didnāt get out of the car, and suggested, "Mr. Gu... you never properly investigated Miss Fang... would you like Su Qing to do some digging?"
If Su Qing found something, then he wouldnāt be to blame!
"Why should I investigate her?" Gu Liancheng got out of the car, dismissively.
Su Bai laughed: "Mr. Gu, I think itās best if we check, just in case..."
