Chapter 3393: A New Addition (9)
Baby Chu clutched his chest sadly and pointed a trembling finger at him, saying in an aggrieved tone, “Boring…?”
“Get Butler Fu to accompany you.” Gu Jinglian lifted the wolf hair brush and dotted its ink laden tip on the end of Baby Chu’s nose. A black mark the size of a bean now marked the tip of his originally pale nose.
A smile finally appeared on the man’s icy face. His gaze fell on the rice paper again and he said calmly, “You can discuss this matter with Butler Fu.”
Baby Chu suddenly ran to his side, his two little hands clenched into fists as he lightly pounded on the man’s thigh. From time to time, he massaged it, trying to please him.
“Even if it’s boring, please come!” As he said this, he ran to stand next to the man and squeezed his shoulders with his tiny hands. He said enthusiastically, “Please come! Please come!”
The man narrowed his eyes and repeated, “I’m busy.”
Baby Chu complained, “Other kids have parents attending the parent-teacher meeting! Butler Fu isn’t my father!”
Gu Jinglian was stunned for a moment, and felt somewhat moved by what the boy had said with such bitterness.
He looked up, his gaze falling on Baby Chu. The boy was lying against his thigh, fiddling with his fingers, obviously aggrieved. From time to time, he would look at the man with a sulky expression
Gu Jinglian suddenly snorted meaningfully and asked the child, “Haven’t you always called me Uncle?”
“…”
“How can an uncle attend your parent-teacher meeting?”
“…”
Gu Jinglian picked up his brush and wrote a few more strokes before adding, “Unless you change the way you address me and call me daddy, I won’t go.”
He knew very well that Baby Chu would never change the way he addressed him, because this little fellow seemed to be very aware of Chu He’s feelings.
Although this little guy was young and clumsy in everything he did, his ability to read people was impressive.
Apparently, it was because of Chu He that the boy would not acknowledge the man to be his father, even though the boy knew very well that he was…
“Daddy!” Baby Chu looked up and shouted.
Gu Jinglian’s hand shook, and once again, the brush went off course.
He looked up in disbelief and frowned with a complicated expression. He noted Baby Chu leaning on the table excitedly. If he had a tail, he would be like a passionate puppy, wagging his tail continuously!
“I’ve called you daddy. Now will you attend my parent-teacher meeting?” Baby Chu asked in anticipation.
The corners of Gu Jinglian’s lips twitched. When did this brat become so unprincipled?
He had thought that the kid would be stubborn!
Unexpectedly, he had called the man “Daddy” right away!
Just how much did this guy want him to attend the parent-teacher meeting?
Gu Jinglian put down his calligraphy brush and lazily propped his chin on his hand. He said unhurriedly, “Since you so badly want me to go, I’ll set aside half a day.”
“Half a day isn’t enough!”
“…”
“The parent-teacher meeting takes all day!”
Gu Jinglian was stumped. “So troublesome?”
“Come on, come on! It’s a rare occasion! This parent-teacher meeting is especially important to me!” Baby Chu twisted his little butt and put his palms together to beg the man, appearing extremely sincere.
It seemed this parent-teacher meeting was really important to him.
“Why?”
“Because…” Just as he was about to say something, a thought struck him. Baby Chu immediately pouted awkwardly and said, “It’s a secret!”
He could not possibly tell the man they were pitting one father against another father to decide which father was more dashing looking.
Otherwise, Gu Yazhe might be unhappy about it and change his mind about going!
