Chapter 553: My Most Loved and Favorite Daddy_1

“Yes, if mommy says so, then it’s so.”

Gong Shaoxun can’t help but rise to his feet, signaling her to search him. Zhenzhen grins and stretches her hand into his pants pocket, only to pull out a car key.

“Strange, where did it go?” She pats down his other pockets. Gong Shaoxun is speechless, this kid won’t stop till she gets what she wants.

“Okay, I got it, I’ll keep an eye out for you.” Cu Haoyan ends the call as he walks downstairs, “Zhenzhen, what are you doing?”

“I’m looking for aunty’s picture, but I can’t find it.”

“It doesn’t exist in the first place.” Gong Shaoxun pinches her cheek with a smile.

Cu Haoyan assumes Gong Shaoxun was simply messing around with her and doesn’t question further.

“Who were you on the phone with?” Gong Mei inquires.

He takes a seat next to his wife, naturally sliding an arm around her shoulders, “Ruan Tianling. Jian Yufei snuck away, he asked me to help look for her.”

“Is it Ru Susu? I want to call Ru Susu, she’s my favorite.” Zhenzhen’s eyes light up as she cuddles into her father.

Gong Shaoxun pretends to be upset, “Baby, aren’t you supposed to love uncle the most?”

“Mm, I like Ru Susu best and love uncle the most!”

Cu Haoyan raises an eyebrow, so his daughter can differentiate between ‘like’ and ‘love’!

“And Daddy?”

The little one wraps her arms around her father’s leg, giving him a sweet smile, “I love and like Daddy the most.”

Gong Shaoxun is at a loss for words, he turns to Cu Haoyan with a thumbs-up: “Your daughter is incredibly sweet-tongued, she’ll be a heartbreaker when she grows up!”

“Haha…” Gong Mei can no longer hold back her laughter. Her daughter is a true gem.

After they had their fill of laughter, Gong Mei asks her husband about Jian Yufei. Gong Shaoxun has no interest in it and seeing as it was not related to him, he promptly heads upstairs.

Back in his room, he sends Jian Yufei a text message.@@novelbin@@

[Darling, I’m home now but my heart is still with you. My little princess wants to see her aunt’s picture but don’t worry, I didn’t show them as promised. Tomorrow, I’m leaving the country, please pray for me to come in first place. When I do, I’ll bring the trophy back for you. Goodnight darling, sleep well.]

Jian Yufei receives his text as she’s packing, a lack of expression crossing her face as she reads.

She deletes the message, resolving to never contact him again.

But she’ll always remember this energetic young man, his joyous company, and the invigorating feeling he left her with.

On the top floor of a guesthouse, Song Xiaotong takes a call on the balcony.

“I didn’t leave home out of willfulness, I just needed to clear my mind.”

Bai Shaoming on the other end of the line coldly responds, “Leaving without a word, what is it if not willfulness! Come back tomorrow.”

Song Xiaotong thinks, he still cares about her, otherwise he wouldn’t bother to call her back.

It took him two days to remember to call her after all.

“Alright, I’ll come back tomorrow.” She nods in agreement. The man on the other end hangs up without another word.

Song Xiaotong sighs, but a smile creeps onto her face as she musters the energy to pack her belongings.

***********

The next morning, Jian Yufei gets up and takes a stroll around town.

She has to leave soon and is reluctant to part from this place. So, she decides to thoroughly appreciate its scenery before she departs.
