"..."
Gu Liancheng swallowed, silently chiding himself to endure!
This child never liked being close to him. Tonight, his injury had only just elicited a hint of sympathy. He absolutely could not risk undoing that impression easily.
"OK, letās just casually chat this evening. You donāt seem to like me very much?"
"I was initially indifferent, no question of liking or disliking," Fang Jiujiu casually shrugged, "To me, youāre just a stranger, as seen by any other stranger. If it hadnāt been for this exposure, we would not have met, right? To me, you are the same as the others on TV, visible but untouchable."
"Youāre a clever child; you would have found me through your own efforts. After all, I am your father, right? Every child has a father. Donāt you also wish you had a father? Like Cute, she always wanted a mother."
"And then...?" Fang Jiujiu turned his head, looking at Gu Liancheng, "I found you, and what would change? You wouldnāt divorce Eleven?"
"Maybe...if I had discovered you earlier, and known Cuteās identity sooner, then perhaps things could be different."
The reason for his divorce was twofold: one, to change their present state, and two, to let Cute grow up in a complete family.
If he had discovered it sooner, maybe he would not have needed to change anything; the presence of the two children could have led to a transformation in their relationship, right?
Or maybe...
"Or maybe it would be the same, so why would I risk you snatching me away from Eleven to find you? How do I know what kind of person you are, whether youāre bad or not, whether you have a disgusting character, like the patriarchs in the wealthy business families on TV, using brutal means to separate me and Eleven, wouldnāt I be at a loss then! ā®(āÆ_ā°)ā"
"..."
Did the kid discuss this with her in advance?
The concerns are exactly the same.
"I think the current situation is pretty good, why change it? Even without the role of a father, Eleven and I can live well...Well, a big part of that is because you gave Eleven money, which she secretly used for our small family. But, I told Eleven that weāre borrowing it. I will pay you back every penny once I earn money."
"What nonsense are you talking," he said helplessly.
What about giving back? His son! What canāt he give him if he wants it? Give back?
"And Iām still a child, yeah," Fang Jiujiu easily admitted the fact, "Although my intelligence is off the charts, Iām exceptionally talented, a genius. But you also saw...sigh, after what just happened, Iām feeling quite overwhelmed."
What just happened?
Gu Liancheng thought for a moment and chuckled.
"I couldnāt even grab a toothbrush! You picked me up with one hand...gosh, suppose I was really taken away by you guys, I would be utterly powerless to resist, wouldnāt I? Although I often find Fang Eleven to be a big fool, she is, despite her foolishness, the most important person to me in this world. I canāt let her be sad under any circumstances."
Listening to the kidās words, Gu Liancheng laughed.
Thatās correct. The ladās worries were all about things that could indeed happen.
And the way he always considered his motherās feelings warmed his heart.
He was right. While Jiujiu often showed impatience and disgust towards her, he loved her deeply at heart.
Her position in Jiujiuās heart was irreplaceable.
