Chapter 353 - 353: The Father and Daughter’s First Hug
Pei Jingzhou’s heart ached. He felt indescribable. His hand fell and held
Youyou’s hand. He said gently, “Youyou, your home is here.”
The expression on Youyou’s face turned to confusion. “But there’s no Grandma Lin here.”
Pei Jingzhou asked, “Is she the Grandma who usually takes care of you?”
Youyou nodded sullenly.
In the kitchen just now, Pei Jingzhou had heard Li Xiwu mention it. It was also what Gu Lanshi had told Li Xiwu in the car when he sent her back. Gu Lanshi was usually too busy to take care of Youyou all the time, so he hired an auntie in her forties to take care of Youyou’s clothes, food, and daily life.
Including going to kindergarten to pick her up and go out to play on Sundays, Auntie Lin accompanied her. Therefore, to Youyou, other than Gu Lanshi being a relative, Auntie Lin was also a very important relative.
Pei Jingzhou said to Youyou, “Shall I bring Grandma Lin over?”
Youyou’s sullen expression instantly changed because of Pei Jingzhou’s words. “Okay-”
The smile on Pei Jingzhou’s lips spread as he tried to negotiate. “Then let’s stay here from now on, okay?”
Although Youyou was only a little more than four years old, she had her own independent thinking ability. “Am I moving?”
Pei Jingzhou pursed his lips. “Yes, you’re moving here, is it okay?”
In the world of children, they did not care about the changes in their living environment. They only cared about whether there were many toys in their living environment and whether they liked this place enough.
At the moment, Youyou liked this place very much. She tilted her head and thought for a moment before asking, “Can I move my toys over?”
Pei Jingzhou nodded. “Sure.”
Youyou said, “And my small fish tank. I have three small goldfish. Can I move them here too?”
Pei Jingzhou said, “Yes.”
Youyou listed them one by one. “Can I move my little dress, princess shoes, and all my hair clips here? Lots and lots.”
Pei Jingzhou wanted to say that these could all be bought new, or even more, and that he had to compensate her well. However, he would not reject Youyou’s request and would do everything. He agreed. “Move them all over.”
Youyou grinned, dimples appearing on her cheeks. She took the initiative to hold Pei Jingzhou’s hand and pointed at an empty seat. “Can I put my small fish tank here?”
Pei Jingzhou smiled and nodded. “Sure.”
Youyou asked again, “Then where do I put my toys?”
Pei Jingzhou said, “Anywhere is fine. Every place here belongs to you.”
Youyou was overjoyed and asked the last important question. “Can I sleep with Sister tonight?” Youyou had been looking forward to this idea for a long time.
Pei Jingzhou replied, “Everything is okay.”
Undoubtedly, every approval from Pei Jingzhou made Youyou very satisfied and happy. The joy of a child was very simple. It was endless satisfaction and agreement. Because of her current happiness, Youyou quickly forgot about the sad question about where her parents were. She actually didn’t like strangers asking her that question.
Originally, in kindergarten, her classmates had said that she didn’t have parents. That had already made her very unhappy, but why did adults ask her that?
He Wang walked over silently and stood beside Pei Jingzhou. “Fourth Brother.” Pei Jingzhou stood up.
He Wang was still in shock from what had just happened. He swallowed and asked, “When did you and Sister-in-law give birth to such a big daughter?”
Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways. “Do you want to know?”
He Wang nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes, yes.”
Pei Jingzhou smiled, indicating his good mood. “Why should I tell you?” He Wang:
Youyou looked up and asked Pei Jingzhou, “Can you play Ultraman with me?”
Beside him, He Wang thought that it was unlikely for Fourth Brother to play Ultraman with the child. He was happy to help, but how could he have forgotten that this child was Fourth Brother’s child? Fourth Brother would probably do as she said.
As expected, Pei Jingzhou leaned over and reached out to Youyou. This gesture meant to take the toy, but in Youyou’s opinion, this gesture meant to hug her. Hence, she walked over and threw herself into Pei Jingzhou’s arms.
Pei Jingzhou was stunned and did not seem to react. His gesture was in its original state, uncollected, even a little stiff. After a while, Pei Jingzhou still made the same gesture. Youyou withdrew and asked, “Is Youyou heavy?”
Pei Jingzhou looked dazed for a moment. “No.”
Youyou said, “Youyou is very light.”
“Yes, you’re very light.” Pei Jingzhou slowly retracted his arm and pulled Youyou into his arms. It was because Youyou took the initiative to approach him that he felt extremely unreal.
His heart was beating fast. He was nervous. After retracting his arms, he tried his best to control his strength. Afraid that he would strangle Youyou, he picked Youyou up with extreme caution.
This scene stunned He Wang. He rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what had just happened. Fourth Brother also had times when he was nervous, and he was facing a four-year-old girl!! Not only was he nervous, but he was also a little helpless when the child threw herself into his arms.
It was only when he saw Pei Jingzhou carrying Youyou in one hand and the toy in the other that He Wang finally came back to his senses and muttered to himself, “Fourth Brother is really a father…”
Shocking news!! He had to pass it down quickly!
He Wang picked up his phone and saw that there were already several messages in the group.
There were Qin Zhuoning’s emoticons and several voice messages. When he opened them, he saw that they were nothing more than asking the child to share the rain and dew and praise him for being smart.
He Wang pressed the voice button. “Something big has happened, everyone.”
Wen Ye: “What’s the big deal?”
Qin Zhuoning was in hiding and was not active in the group. Although he was not active, he was peeking at the screen.
He Wang said, “How about predicting major events? Please pay to listen.” Wen Ye also sent an emoji: Get lost!
Qin Zhuoning smiled at the screen, took away his cell phone, and continued to deal with the work at hand.
He Wang did not say much and used his actions to blow everyone up. He walked in the direction where Pei Jingzhou carried Youyou and left. He raised his cell phone and took a photo of Pei Jingzhou and Youyou interacting.
Coincidentally, in this scene, Pei Jingzhou was adjusting the zipper on Youyou’s jacket. He was crouched on his knees, his head down, his expression intent. Youyou also stood obediently and did not move. She only looked down when the zipper was done.
“Amazing.” This photo was amazing!!
He Wang sent this extremely satisfied photo to the group. As he had expected, it exploded.
Not only that, He Wang even posted this photo on his WeChat Moments with the caption: “I’m really impressed by someone’s rocket-like speed. I was single when he got married. His child is already so old, but I’m still single. What a hard life…
Once this post was posted, it wouldn’t be long before the entire circle of aristocratic families knew!
