Chapter 4704 Never Too Late to Love (111)
Gu Jinglian did not deny that he was a slave to his daughter. In his own words, a son would give him only two days of happiness – the day he was born and the day he got married.
A daughter, on the other hand, would give him happiness from the time she was born, till the day she got married. The happiness would end the moment he handed his daughter to another man.
Hence he felt that he should set an example for his future son-in-law.
In the future, his son-in-law should dote on his daughter the same way he doted on her.
!!
Gu Lingge was nicknamed Qianqian at home. The moment she returned, the servants came to inform him. The man then stood up excitedly and walked towards the door without delay.
Chu He’s lips twitched as she looked at Bai Sheng and said with exasperation, “Your father is like this. He dotes on Qianqian the most. When Qianqian comes home, he seems to lose his soul!”
She felt somewhat regretful. She had a nagging feeling that Gu Jinglian did not treat Chu He as warmly as he treated his daughter. After all, this was her first visit to the Gu family today.
Your father…
This form of address caused Bai Sheng to be in a daze for a few seconds. For a moment, she could not get used to it.
Bai Sheng seemed to detect a hint of apology in Chu He’s tone. She smiled and said, “A daughter is a father’s most precious treasure. If I have a daughter in the future, I’d be worried about competing for the father’s favor!”
Gu Chengze was compelled to respond jokingly, “In the past, I’ve always made the joke about a daughter being a father’s lover in his previous life. I didn’t believe it in the past, but I think I have to believe it now!”
Gu Lingge had returned with Gu Xinghan.
The two bickered all the way as they walked through the door. When she saw Gu Jinglian, she walked over and threw herself into his arms. Putting her arms around his shoulders, she tiptoed to kiss his cheek and wrapped her arms around his arm with a smile. “Dad!”
“Why are you back so late?” His tone was clearly reproachful.
Gu Lingge turned around and glanced at Gu Xinghan. “He just got his driver’s license and insisted on using my car to practice. In the end, he was so nervous along the way that he drove back at 60km/h!”
Gu Xinghan was speechless for a moment when heard this. Then he retorted “This is my first time driving, and it’s in such a congested place. Being able to drive at 60 kilometers per hour is already top-notch, okay?”
Seeing that the boy was yelling at his precious daughter, Gu Jinglian glared at him and threatened, “If you dare to bully your sister again, believe it or not, I’ll beat you up.”
“…” Gu Xinghan shrank back, feeling extremely aggrieved. “What do you mean by bullying my sister?? I’m telling the truth!”
“Don’t you know how to drive faster?!” The man continued to lecture him. “Since you know that there’s a traffic jam, why are you fooling around with your sister’s car?”
Gu Xinghan felt even more aggrieved at this. “Dad, you’re biased!”
It was one thing to buy a Maserati for Gu Lingge, but when it came to his turn, he was given nothing.
Gu Jinglian said that if he wanted to drive, he had to work for a car.
There were so many luxury cars within the Gu residence, but Gu Xinghan was the only one who did not have one.
Although he was young, he was the same age as Gu Lingge. Gu Jinglian had given her a Maserati, but when he tried asking for a Mercedes-Benz, the man ignored him.
Boohoo… If only he were a daughter.
Gu Xinghan pretended to kick up a fuss and said, “Dad, it’s not good for you to dote on Little Sister alone. Things have to be shared!”
The man glared at him. “Scram.”
Gu Xinghan was instantly terrified. “Fine.” He dejectedly followed behind the man.
Even Gu Lingge’s heart ached for him. “Dad, don’t be fierce to him. He’s quite pitiful too!”
