Chapter 114 - Peel an Apple for You
Chapter 114: Peel an Apple for You
The two people who didn’t like each other were about to start fighting again.
On the hospital bed, Gu Chu resisted the urge to roll her eyes. The two of you are really childish… Are you trying to compare who has the most enemies?
Thank you for involving me. To put it bluntly, compared to my career as Ace of Hearts, everyone here is trash.
In my past life, the enemies who wanted to kill me could go around Earth three times.
However, Lu Shanhe and Song Chen didn’t quarrel because the door of the ward was opened by a gust of wind. Gu Chu’s mother, Gu Manxi, rushed over upon hearing the news.
Gu Manxi was extremely anxious.
It had only been half a day since she saw Gu Chu, and Chuchu was already in danger again!
“Chuchu, are you hurt? Let Mommy take a look.” Gu Manxi saw the fine cuts on Gu Chu’s arm, and her heart ached so much that tears fell.
When Gu Chuchu saw her mother’s tears, her heart softened.
She pouted and raised her two chubby hands. Like all five-year-old children, she wrapped her arms around Gu Manxi’s neck and said softly, “Mommy, Chuchu is fine. An uncle saved Chuchu.”
Gu Manxi held back her tears and carefully examined the child.
Her hanging heart finally relaxed.
Sometimes, she really felt that the capital was a place of trouble. Chuchu was safe and sound in a remote town. Once she came to the capital, she was kidnapped, injured, and the disasters just kept coming one after another.
She didn’t even have the ability to protect the child. Gu Manxi blamed herself for it.
Song Chen couldn’t bear to see the child’s mother cry, so he hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, it was just an accident.”
Lu Shanhe understood and immediately added, “Manxi, it was an accident in the studio. It’s all my fault. I didn’t get the staff to do a proper inspection of the equipment.”
This time, Song Chen and Lu Shanhe managed to agree on one thing. The accident was planned. Song Chen and Lu Shanhe had both decided that it was best for them to resolve this matter in the dark.
They absolutely could not let Gu Manxi get involved in danger. This was also their way of protecting Gu Manxi.
Gu Manxi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She did not blame Lu Shanhe. Instead, she glared at Song Chen.
Gu Manxi’s voice was like the misty rain in Jiangnan in June. It was soft. Even if she was scolding, it exuded a gentle temperament. Gu Manxi was very angry. She scolded Song Chen, “I didn’t mind you taking Chuchu out to play. This is your right. But you didn’t protect her well. That’s your fault.”
Song Chen lowered his head.
Gu Manxi said angrily, “Chuchu is only five years old. Do you know how easily a five-year-old child can get hurt? You’re one of her guardians. With you like this, how can I be at ease to let Chuchu go out with you in the future?”
Song Chen said, “I know. It’s my fault.”
Gu Manxi was stunned.
Of course she was angry. Song Chen was Chuchu’s biological father. She hoped that the child would have a father’s love in her childhood, so she did not stop Song Chen from bringing the child out. If Chuchu got hurt, that was the responsibility of the guardian.
Still, she did not expect Song Chen to directly admit his mistake.
The dignified boss of Song Entertainment was high and mighty. His attitude of admitting his mistake was unbelievably good.
“You… you…” Gu Manxi’s delicate face showed a strange expression. The anger in her heart miraculously disappeared. Looking at Song Chen’s face, which was full of self-blame, Gu Manxi felt a little complicated.
Song Chen’s attitude was sincere. “I’ve never looked after children before, so I don’t have enough experience. I’ll be extra careful in the future so that you won’t worry.”
Gu Manxi stuttered,”…yes, okay.”
Song Chen picked up a big red apple again. “You came in a hurry. You probably haven’t had lunch yet. I’ll get someone to bring you lunch. In the meantime, I’ll peel you an apple.”
