Chu He could not stop herself from laughing. Even though she tried to suppress it, she eventually broke out in loud guffaws. She had seen fathers taking advantage of their sons, but she had never seen fathers who took advantage of their sons this way!
âHahaha!â She was halfway through laughing... when Gu Jinglian grabbed another lot of cake and smeared it onto her face.
Chu He stopped laughing!
There was now buttercream all over her face. When she breathed and drew in air, the cream was sucked into her nostrils.
She opened her eyes in embarrassment. Her face was entirely covered in cream, only her pair of dark eyes were visible. She looked extremely pathetic.
Baby Chu and his mother looked at each other with a tacit understanding.
Gu Jinglian looked at the mother and son pair. His originally cold and indifferent face actually cracked a little. He broke into a smile and then started laughing.
Ha! For some reason, the moment he smiled, his face lit up and it seemed even brighter than the sunlight outside the window. It was as if the entire world was bathed in sunlight!
Gu JInglian was a handsome man, but he was usually reserved and serious. She had rarely seen him smile. Even though there were times when he would curl his lips into a cold smile, it inevitably made people nervous and sent chills down their spine! However, he was now laughing from the bottom of his heart, and it was as resplendent as the galaxy! It turned out that a manâs laughter could be such a charming thing!
Chu He was stunned.
Baby Chu however, reacted immediately and pointed at Gu Jinglian in disbelief. âDaddyâs laughing!â This was also his first time seeing Gu Jinglian laugh, and he was extremely excited.
Gu Jinglianâs face returned to its usual cold expression at once, as he glared at the boy.
Baby Chu immediately whined, âDaddy, you look really good when you laugh! Why are you always like an old man? You should laugh more often!â
âShut up!â
Gu Jinglian suddenly stood up and said, âIâm going back to the study!â With that, he turned around, his expression taking on its usual aloofness again as he swiftly left.
Chu He and Baby Chu looked at each other and smiled.
âYou naughty boy!â Chu He pinched his nose bridge lovingly and for a moment, Baby Chu looked like he was going to throw himself into her arms.
âStay where you are!â She warned the boy, but before she could dodge, Baby Chu had already jumped into her arms and rubbed cream all over her!
âBaby Chu!!â
When the children saw this, they were infected by the warm and joyous atmosphere and started laughing.
...
In the afternoon, the children were tired from playing and felt much more at ease.
At 4pm, the parents gradually streamed in to take their children home.
When it was time to go home, many children were reluctant to leave. They stood at the door and said goodbye to Baby Chu unwillingly, clearly they didnât want to go.
When the children went back to their parents, they excitedly described the interesting events that had happened at the party.
By 6pm, except for Shengâer, the children had all gone home. Shengâer was tired from playing, and had fallen asleep in the guest room hugging Baby Chuâs soft toy. The skies darkened gradually, however, when night came, Shengâerâs mother still had not turned up.
Chu He could not help feeling a little worried. She made a few calls to Shengâerâs mother, but her phone was turned off. When Shengâer woke up and saw that her mother had not turned up to take her home, she was a little upset!
Even though she really liked Baby Chuâs house and wanted to play a little longer, it was already late and her mother still had not come. Hence the girl felt a little helpless! When Chu He walked into the guest room, Shengâer went up to her and asked anxiously, âHas Mommy picked up your call?â
âNo..â Chu He quickly explained, âThe phone was turned off. It might be out of battery!â
