Chapter 737 - 743: She Really Likes You
If she hadn’t been so selfish back then...
Before Chu Xiaoge could continue blaming herself, Chuchu had already turned around and saw her.
"Mom! Come here!" She raised her little arm, calling out to Chu Xiaoge happily.
Chu Xiaoge snapped back to reality, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and walked quickly over.
For the first time, the whole family gathered together joyfully.
Back home, Chu Xiaoge first coaxed her daughter to sleep. Walking into the living room, she was surprised to find Shang Dongyuan still there.
He sat leisurely on the sofa, his long legs crossed, body leaning against the soft couch, holding a picture frame he had picked up from the coffee table. Inside was an old photo of Chu Xiaoge.
In the past, it was always Chu Lianghua who sat in that spot, looking at Chu Xiaoge’s photo. Now it was Shang Dongyuan.
Chu Xiaoge poured him a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.
"Thank you for what you did today."
"Chuchu is a very likable kid, there’s no need to thank me." Shang Dongyuan put the picture frame aside, picked up the tea Chu Xiaoge had just poured, and took a small sip.
The taste was naturally not as good as what Shang Dongyuan usually drank, causing him to frown instinctively.
Chu Xiaoge had actually meant the whole day’s events, but she didn’t expect Shang Dongyuan to misunderstand and mention Chuchu.
Since they were on the topic, there was one thing she felt she had to ask.
"Do you like Chuchu a lot?"
"Yes." Shang Dongyuan nodded, seeing no reason to hide it.
Cute and sensible children are liked by everyone.
The most important thing was that this child’s eyes looked so much like his own.
Could this be some kind of fated connection?
"Then..." Chu Xiaoge took a deep breath and continued, "Then if she really is your daughter, what would you do?"
Perhaps even Chu Xiaoge herself didn’t realize how evident her hopefulness was when she asked this question.
She really wanted to know if Shang Dongyuan, upon learning he had a five-year-old daughter, would be overwhelmingly happy or deny the child’s existence.
Regardless of whether the decision she made five years ago was right or wrong, now she truly loved Chuchu and didn’t want her to get hurt in any way.
Even if it meant confronting Shang Dongyuan, she wanted to be certain.
However, Chu Xiaoge never expected that for Shang Dongyuan, this sudden question was completely meaningless.
Playing the role of a temporary father for half a day, he realized he kind of wanted a child after all.
He even thought that getting married wasn’t as troublesome as he had imagined.
At least he would have a woman and a child by his side.
But, definitely not in the current situation.
He would never allow his woman and child to roam around for five years, in such a disgraceful manner.
So, he resolutely denied it.
"How could that be?" he responded with a rhetorical question, then added a mocking smile. Chuchu’s father was an irresponsible man, unlike him.
Watching Shang Dongyuan’s mocking and disdainful smile, Chu Xiaoge’s heart slowly sank into despair.
As expected, someone like Shang Dongyuan didn’t care whether he had a five-year-old daughter or not. Just as five years ago, when she was kicked out by her parents and went to seek him out, yet he...
Recalling the events of that time, Chu Xiaoge’s face turned somewhat pale, and her gaze grew cold.
"Anyway, thank you for being so good to Chuchu. She really likes you." Chu Xiaoge bit her lip, her tone indifferent and distant.
