âNext time, then.â No matter what, Madam Lu valued Gun Gunâs emotions. She couldnât ignore Gun Gun just to make Liao Xintong pressure Su Bei.
Weijian picked up Gun Gun and said, âGun Gun, letâs go play. Our Gun Gun is the most obedient. Letâs go!â
After Gun Gun left, Liao Xintong felt really awkward. She sat for a while before bidding farewell and leaving.
The elders did not ask her to stay either.
However, when she thought of Gun Gunâs words, she was deep in thought.
â¦
Lu Heting held Su Beiâs hand and walked around the old residence. âThis is the back garden. Weijian and I used to play here when we were young. We grew up in the old residence, and the third floor is where my room is.â
Su Bei had never heard him mention his father, so she thought that his father might have died young and did not ask further.
As they were walking, they received Lu Weijianâs WeChat message.
He had added Lu Heting and Su Bei into a group chat. He said exaggeratedly: [Big Brother, Sister-in-law, please donât ever let Gun Gun stay with that Liao woman!]
Lu Heting asked: [What happened?]
Su Bei also replied in surprise: [?]
Lu Weijian asked: [Do you think Gun Gun likes that woman?]
Su Bei wasnât too sure, but she knew that Gun Gun called that woman âAunt.â Between the two of them, it could be said that they were related by blood. She once had a foolish thought of entrusting Lu Heting and Da Bao to that woman.
Lu Heting frowned slightly, forming a beautiful crease. When he was busy and couldnât care for Gun Gun much, it was his mother who brought Gun Gun to Liao Xintongâs side.
Whenever he went to pick up Gun Gun, Gun Gun would be extremely happy. He thought that Gun Gun liked being by that womanâs side. As his father, he doted on his son and made a compromise. He acquiesced to Madam Luâs actions of bringing Gun Gun to that womanâs house. Hence, it became a routine.
Why? Was there more to it?
When Lu Weijian saw that the couple was silent, he didnât bother to wait for them to ask. Instead, he told them everything. [Gun Gun said that he doesnât like to play with that woman surnamed Liao and he doesnât like her at all! Why is he so happy every time he comes back from her place, then? Itâs because he has escaped from his misery!]
[â¦] Lu Heting responded with a string of ellipses.
However, he believed him.
Looking at the interactions between Gun Gun and Su Bei and comparing them to how Gun Gun and Liao Xintong interacted, he should have long discovered the problem! Only Gun Gunâs fondness for Su Bei was genuine!
A wave of guilt washed over him. As a father, he had indeed overlooked some things.
Managing and dealing with a childâs emotions was indeed his weakness.
Lu Heting replied: [Okay, I wonât send him there anymore.]
Lu Weijian immediately gave him countless thumbs up. [My elder brother is good at listening to advice, which is why he became the most powerful person in the world!]
When Su Bei saw this, she finally exploded. [Can I say something?]
Lu Weijian replied: [Go ahead.]
Lu Heting tilted his head to look at her, his voice tender and loving.
She read out the words as she typed. [I donât like that woman surnamed Liao either!]
She didnât like her in the past, but she couldnât bring herself to say it because of her feelings. Now, she could finally say it out loud!
This feeling was too satisfying!
