This was also why he was so dependent on Yun Shishi. No one could replace Yun Shishi in giving him the warmth that she gave him.
Natalia was strangely close to him. In the beginning, it was because she was in awe of the man’s dazzling appearance. He was handsome, dashing, tall, and had strong arms. He could pick her up effortlessly.
Later on, the usually cold and aloof Gong Jie gave her a rare smile and then the girl was completely smitten. He was too handsome. She imagined how much better it would be if this man were her father, her family.
And then her dream came true.
When Alice had told her this man was now her daddy, her family from then on, Natalia found herself increasingly fond of him.
!!
Such a bond was probably destined to happen between the two of them. Even Hua Jin was surprised that Gong Jie had such patience with children.
When Natalia heard that he had to go, she was immediately reluctant. Frowning, she hugged his arm and said softly, “Please don’t go…”
Those were simple words but enough to move Gong Jie. It was as if his feet had taken root and trapped him. He really could not bear to leave. The girl in his arms was like cotton candy. Her pitiful look of grievance and longing melted his heart. He actually started to develop inexplicable emotions towards this child.
Could it be the so-called fatherly love? Gong Jie had always thought of himself as the sort of man who lacked paternal instincts. It was hard for a man like him to imagine what kind of husband and father he would be if he had his own family in the future.
Unexpectedly… He actually had the self-awareness of a father.
The actor tried to persuade the man, “Why don’t you… stay for a few days and spend more time with her!? I don’t know her that well. If you leave, I’ll really be helpless!”
Youyou chimed in as well, “Why don’t you stay a few more days, Uncle? There’s no rush on Hurricane’s business.”
Gong Jie nodded and agreed to stay.
“Okay.”
He squeezed Natalya’s tender little hand and said soothingly, “Then… Daddy will stay for a few days, eh?”
Natalia immediately smiled in relief. “Uh huh!”
…
On the first day of Gong Jie’s stay, the actor realized a problem. That was, if one had money, one could do anything one wished to!
Initially, he thought, even though the villa came furnished and the furnishing was done some time ago, and the furniture and appliances had been moved in, there had been no particularly strong smell after special treatment. However, that did not mean that there was no smell at all. Despite the ventilation all afternoon, there was still a slight smell of paint.
Although by night time there was no longer any obvious smells, Hua Jin nevertheless advocated that they should not move in for the time being.
Gong Jie wouldn’t hear of it and complained that the actor’s current home was too cramped, and it was impossible to live in a place the size of a fish tank.
Hua Jin was furious and felt humiliated. Fish tank? It was a house that was more than a hundred square meters. In what ways was it a fish tank?
That hurt too much.
As for Gong Jie, he immediately called for housekeeping and cleaning services. Within moments, the last of the smell in the house had dissipated.
Youyou said as well, that no matter how airy the new house was, it would never smell like home if it wasn’t occupied.
Therefore, Hua Jin had no choice but to bitterly call in the moving company.
