Chapter 473 Gu Liancheng Notices Something (3)_1

"Thank you."

He owed her a thank you.

If she hadn’t come tonight, who knows how much Cute would have kept them up.

He didn’t mind the late hours, what he feared was Cute misbehaving, needing late-night treatment. Once Eleven arrived, everything was resolved.

"Uh... it’s no trouble at all."

It was easier when he wasn’t so polite. His sudden courteousness left her speechless.

She just didn’t say that Cute was also her daughter, she would naturally worry about her.

However, even if she didn’t know Cute was her daughter, would she neglect Cute if something happened to her today? Definitely not, she would have come regardless.

"After tonight’s events, have you done any reflection?" Eleven suddenly asked this.

"What?"

Eleven sighed, "Mr. Gu, I know you’re powerful in the business world, turning things around quickly... but raising a child is different, you can’t use your business strategies on children. Cute is still young, some things require a different approach... do you understand what I’m saying?"

Looking at Eleven, Gu Liancheng swallowed what he wanted to say.

"Has the bride... got to be Shang Muxue?" Eleven tentatively asked.

"Hmm?" Gu Liancheng suddenly came back to his senses, a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Are you so concerned about my lifelong affairs?"

"I’m just concerned about Cute! I hope you can find her a good mother, not find an unsuitable woman for some benefit to be Cute’s mother."

"Unsuitable? Miss Fang, where did you get the idea that Little Snow is unsuitable? She’s Cute’s biological mother, the most suitable candidate. It’s precisely because of this reason I’m considering her."

"She’s unsuitable!" Eleven denied his words outright, "Not every woman is fit to be a mother."

"Oh? Well then, Miss Fang, please tell me, who’s the most suited to be Cute’s mother?"

How would she know?

Ever since the incident last time, Eleven held some reservations towards Shang Muxue.

How could a woman who could harm a child in a crisis situation be allowed to be Cute’s mother? Shang Muxue knows that Cute isn’t her daughter, so she couldn’t care less, right?

Think of all this, Eleven couldn’t feel at ease.

"Could it be...you?" Gu Liancheng took a step closer to her, "Miss Fang, don’t tell me you want to remarry me and you’re only saying this just because you wish to take care of Cute? If you didn’t want to leave me, you should’ve told me in the beginning. There’s no need to use Cute as an excuse."

"You’ve got it all wrong, Mr. Gu, I didn’t mean it that way. Just like today, if you were to leave Cute in my care, I would leave this city with her without hesitation. Not playing hard to get, but truly leaving. But I guess, you wouldn’t leave Cute with me."

"Of course not!" His eyes became stern, "Nobody can take Cute away."

"Good, remember what you just said, don’t let anyone take Cute away, protect her as if she’s your own daughter."

...

As if she’s his own daughter.

Why is she so concerned about Cute?

Gu Liancheng was wide awake, returning to his study, kept thinking about her gaze and the things she said earlier.

It might not be his misconception, lately he felt something was off, but what?

"Allen, help me look up the records from the day Cute was born."
