The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 306: Gu Yuan Said: Suisui Is the Daughter I Gave You

Chapter 306: Gu Yuan Said: Suisui Is the Daughter I Gave You

After waiting a few minutes, Gu Yuan walked over from the elevator.

Chi Yu had been waiting there for her all along.

When she got closer, he heard Gu Yuan say with a smile, "I thought you might leave."

"When have I ever broken my word to you?" he said softly, his emotions indiscernible and unclear.

Never.

The things he promised her always counted.

Gu Yuan pursed her lips and smiled a little. At that moment, Old Bai drove up, and she said, "Let’s go, get in the car."

Chi Yu didn’t ask where they were going, following her into the car.

When the car reached the outskirts of Gu Mansion, Chi Yu then realized she was bringing him to Gu Mansion.

"Are you having me stay over again?"

"Why say ’again’?"

"No particular reason, just purely curious about how deep President Gu’s thoughts are, like the Mariana Trench."

"..."

"My thoughts aren’t hard to guess." Gu Yuan glanced at him, her eyes soft: "If you think about it a bit, maybe you’ll figure it out."

"You used the word ’maybe,’ which already proves I really can’t figure it out." This time, he did not avoid her gaze, meeting it openly.

The car stopped.

Chi Yu pushed the door open, ready to get out.

Beside him came a sentence from Gu Yuan: "I’ve thought it through, whether you have memories or not, I shouldn’t let you and Suisui meet as strangers, you should formally meet as father and daughter."

The hand Chi Yu was using to hold the door handle paused slightly.

After a bit of reflection, his current understanding was: "When I said getting married wasn’t to pressure you, you can also take it as just something I said casually. I admit at first I just wanted to be Suisui’s stepdad..."

"Not stepdad." Gu Yuan gazed into his eyes: "You’re the real dad."

Chi Yu was speechless.

But he always thought that Gu Yuan felt sorry for him.

She was willing to marry him and let him be Suisui’s stepdad just to make it up to him.

As for that man, he hadn’t seen that man’s presence at Gu Mansion from start to finish, and there were no clothes of that man in Yuanyuan’s closet, and Suisui never mentioned her father.

He thought maybe Gu Yuan and that person were in a marriage of convenience.

So she decided so quickly to agree to marry him.

Chi Yu didn’t ask further, following Gu Yuan inside after getting out of the car.

Lu Tinglou hadn’t left yet, he had nothing to do that afternoon and planned to stay at Gu Mansion until the evening to ask Gu Yuan in person who Suisui’s father really was.

"Uncle Lu~" Suisui brought over her nail polish: "Can I paint your nails?"

Lu Tinglou looked at the colorful nail polish, his brow furrowing sharply: "This goes on the fingernails?"

"Yes~"

"Are you sure you want to paint mine?"

"Can I?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Lu Tinglou put away his phone, squatted down and said: "No, because I’m a boy, and boys can’t wear nail polish. Suisui is a girl, and girls can wear nail polish, lipstick, and dress up beautifully."

"But if I use Mommy’s lipstick, Mommy will get angry and even spank me~" Suisui’s expression was very rich.

She was still very afraid of her mom getting angry.

Lu Tinglou laughed upon hearing that, the little angel healed others every day.

He put the palm of his hand near the back of Suisui’s head: "You know if you use Mommy’s lipstick, Mommy will get mad, so don’t be naughty and don’t mess with Mommy’s things. Kids should play with toys."

"I don’t fancy princess dolls anymore." Suisui’s little expression became more lively, and she pouted, "Princess dolls don’t talk to me."

Don’t talk to me?

Lu Tinglou thought, if a stuffed princess doll could talk, that would be terrifying.

Unless it’s a mechanical doll, that’s different.

"Uncle Xiang went to the garden on the east side to pick vegetables, do you want to go?" Lu Tinglou spread his arms.

"Yes~"

Suisui chose to put down her nail polish.

She walked into Lu Tinglou’s embrace.

Just walked in, not pounced in.

Don’t be fooled by Suisui’s size, she has principles. Being close to Lu Tinglou is just simple closeness, she won’t excessively cling to him. Usually, she sweetly calls him Uncle Lu, but there are times when she’s unfamiliar and unwilling to get close to him.

That’s a sense of distance.

But Lu Tinglou didn’t notice this distance, he thought the relationship between him and Suisui was good, Suisui was really close to him and liked being with him.

As for Suisui’s biological father returning, this matter posed little threat to Lu Tinglou.

Because Suisui’s biological father fell short in the crucial process of accompanying Suisui’s growth.

They arrived at the vegetable garden on the east side.

Uncle Xiang was busy picking vegetables.

The cucumbers that weren’t ripe a few days ago were all ripe now.

They’ve been eating eggplant recently, but the pace of eating eggplants couldn’t keep up with how fast they’re growing, a lot of them were getting overripe, so Uncle Xiang quickly picked more and put them in a basket, planning for Ma to make two different dishes with eggplants tonight.

Also, a large batch of bullhorn peppers were ripe.

"Can’t pick them all, can’t pick them all..."

Uncle Xiang couldn’t pick them all himself, running back and forth in the garden with great enthusiasm.

Suisui followed Lu Tinglou to help, but Suisui generally just caused more chaos; it was Lu Tinglou who helped pick some.

The harmonious and beautiful scene of this ’father and daughter’ was caught in the eyes of the two people not far away. Gu Yuan was calm as she glanced at Chi Yu beside her.

He was not calm, his eyes were filled with jealousy.

The same expression as Suisui being jealous of others having a dad.

Gu Yuan didn’t know whether to laugh or feel heartache.

No wonder they’re father and daughter.

"Do you believe what you’re seeing now?" Gu Yuan asked him.

Chi Yu withdrew his gaze and said in a self-deprecating tone, "Bringing me to the Gu Mansion, isn’t this what you wanted me to see?"

"No." Gu Yuan shook her head, "I didn’t tell Uncle Xiang before I came back, so I didn’t know Lu Tinglou hadn’t left yet."

Chi Yu turned around.

Gu Yuan pulled him, "Are you angry?"

"No." Chi Yu pulled Gu Yuan along with him as they walked back and forth, "What right do I have to be angry? I have no right to be angry at all."

They walked through the side hall and into the living room.

The servants had already prepared an exquisite afternoon tea.

After sitting down, Chi Yu took a cup of brewed milk tea, sipped it, and found it cold.

The taste was great, the bitterness on his tongue from earlier turned much sweeter.

The afternoon tea snacks were all delicate, with cream puffs, mille-feuille cakes, and the like, arranged in a multi-layered stand resembling a pine tree.

Gu Yuan looked at him sulking silently, both exasperated and amused, but the important matter at hand, she said, "Wait for me a moment, I’ll go upstairs to get something."

Chi Yu absent-mindedly responded, "Mm, go ahead."

After Gu Yuan left, his gaze flickered towards the distant vegetable garden outside the window.

At this moment, Suisui was wearing a straw hat and an ice-blue cotton suspender pants, waving a ripe pepper in her hand.

The straw hat on Suisui’s head seemed to have some small sunflowers gathered around it.

The distance was still a bit far, Chi Yu couldn’t clearly see Suisui’s expression.

But he knew Suisui was very happy.

He also saw Suisui approach that man, hand the pepper to Lu Tinglou, and Lu Tinglou patted Suisui’s head, said something, making Suisui wildly joyful.

The beautiful scene of the ’father and daughter’ getting along made Chi Yu feel he was incredibly redundant.

Jutting in seemed so embarrassing, like a joke.

A moment ago, he was relieved that he hadn’t seen this man at the Gu Mansion, and the next moment, reality slapped him in the face, telling him that even by intruding, some things couldn’t be changed.

"Chi Yu."

Gu Yuan came over, holding a box.

She had just seen Chi Yu staring dazedly out the window, in the direction of the eastern vegetable garden, and she knew what he was watching.

She placed the box on the edge of the table and sat down.

"You went upstairs to get something, is this it? What’s inside?"

"Something very important, an explanation for you."

Gu Yuan pushed it in front of him, "I don’t know how to tell you, this matter is a really long story, I’m worried you won’t believe it, but since parallel worlds can exist, I hope you’ll feel it with your heart, believe this, and also believe my words."

Although Chi Yu didn’t know what was in the box, listening to Gu Yuan’s words made his heart tense.

He realized the contents of the box might indeed be significant.

Only, before opening the box, Chi Yu pondered a long time before voicing a thought repressed in his heart, "Did you get divorced? Or did you and he just marry by agreement, only to have Suisui, and there’s no real affection between you?"

Gu Yuan didn’t speak for a moment.

Not that she didn’t want to answer, but many questions were connected together.

She thought about how to explain, but Chi Yu didn’t have the patience to wait for her answer and continued to ask her:

"If Suisui’s biological father wants to reclaim Suisui’s custody, would you give it to him?"

Really good at asking questions—this is what Gu Yuan thought in her heart.

"You wouldn’t give it, so you’ll remain entangled forever." Chi Yu was insanely jealous, struggling like a caged beast.

"After Suisui’s gone, what about me?" was Gu Yuan’s immediate response.

No solution.

"I just... saw how well Suisui and he got along." Chi Yu was referring to the scene he saw in the eastern vegetable garden.

Gu Yuan lowered her eyes.

"Assume you’re guilty towards me, agree to marry me, but the premise of marriage is for you to give up Suisui’s custody, would you agree?"

Gu Yuan gave a bitter smile, "The law probably wouldn’t agree."

Chi Yu stood up, "I understand."

"Gu Yuan, I will disappear from your world, I won’t disturb your life anymore."

"You owe me nothing, we’re even from now on."

After saying this, he got up to leave, and there was no need to look at the contents of the box. The moment Chi Yu got up to leave, Gu Yuan grabbed his wrist, looked up at him, "Are you really leaving?"

Chi Yu withdrew his hand and said in a very low voice, words he had struggled with for a long time inside, "I’ve let you go, truly."

"False."

"It’s true when I say it is..."

"Chi Yu, have you asked your heart?"

"..." He had, and the heart said it was false.

"Aren’t you going to look at the contents of the box?" Gu Yuan asked him.

"No, nothing worth longing for, it’s not important to me." He didn’t want to say anything more—perhaps because seeing that man’s presence today, he was especially prone to irritation, unable to control his negative emotions.
