Suddenly, a yellowish and very old slip caught his attention. It was Xiaochen's birth certificate. The date on it was actually - he was born on the same day as Yunhen!
With a "buzz" sound, Gu Xijue's head seemed to have been hit hard in an instant, and he was completely stunned.
How can it be?!
Xiaochen and Yunhen were born together?!
Then she and Yunhen are twins?!
That means Xiaochen’s daughter?!
how so?!
How can this be?!
A series of questions rushed into his mind. Gu Xijue didn't even know whether he should be happy or what. He had never been so shocked by something in his life!
He finally understood why he felt inexplicably close to the little girl at the Singapore airport, why he didn't care that she soiled his clothes, why he felt sorry for her tears, and why he felt sad when she saw her...
He finally understood why he was willing to patiently discuss stocks with a little girl, willing to listen to her chattering on the phone, and willing to explain to her over and over again...
He finally understood why he was angry and still struggled in his heart after thinking that she was another man's daughter. He finally understood why he helped repair the water pipe at her house. Although he didn't take her towel, he still felt that her actions were very warm. He finally understood.
Why did she give him a quilt in the middle of the night so many times? He finally understood why he accompanied her on the Ferris wheel, and finally understood why he was willing to let her take his last name...
Memories really can’t bear any weight!
He finally understood...
Understood everything...
Xiaochen is actually his daughter!
Uncontrollably, my eyes became moist...
He had never felt that he was so hateful. Thinking of his previous misunderstanding and insult to Haitang, and his indifference and disgust towards Xiaochen... he really had the urge to kill himself!
What should he do next?!
What can he do to make up for that debt?!
The hand holding the birth certificate trembled slightly, and the sound of footsteps not far away gradually came. He quickly put the brown paper bag back to its original position, but his heart could no longer calm down...
◎◎◎
Xiaochen, who returned from the bathroom, sat back down obediently in her original position, next to Gu Xijue. She blinked her big black and bright eyes and looked around, but she felt a little strange...
"Uh...Uncle, why are you always looking at me? Is there something on my face?" The little girl was uneasy. Is her face dirty? She was doubtful and touched her face with her little hands.
"No, Xiaochen's face is very clean and beautiful." Gu Xijue held her little hand, his fingertips trembling slightly.
"Eh?! Uncle, your hands are so cold! What's wrong? Do you have a cold?!"
"No, uncle is in good health and won't catch a cold." The little girl's concern instantly made his heart feel warm.
Xiaochen shook his head, "Uncle, you are wrong to think that way. People who are usually healthy will be more serious if they suddenly get sick! Don't neglect your body just because you think you are tall and strong!"
"Well, uncle knows, thank you Xiaochen for your concern."
"Hehe, you're welcome! It's right for me to care about my uncle! Uncle, you, me and mommy will be a family from now on. It's normal for family members to care about each other, right?!"
"Yes. We are a family...a family..." Gu Xijue couldn't help but hugged Xiaochen into his arms and hugged her tightly.
"Well..." Xiaochen felt a little uncomfortable. What's wrong with her uncle? He hugged her so tightly! But seeing as he looked like this, he might be really sick. People who are sick are very fragile, so just let him hug her a little more!
Seeing that Gu Xijue's expression was not normal, Xi Haitang felt doubtful in his heart, "Your face wasn't looking good just now, and it's even worse now. Did something happen?"
"It's okay...it's really okay." Denial could never deny the unbearable lightness in his life.
◎◎◎
Soon, the change of household registration was completed. Xi Haitang looked at the new name on her household registration book and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. From this moment on, she was truly her father's daughter, and from this moment on, she
She has more responsibilities. She used to live the life of an ordinary person and was very satisfied with her income of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a year. But now, she is labeled as the daughter of the president of the largest investment bank in Southeast Asia.
I am very confused and don't know what I should do or what I can do.
"Haitang, don't be afraid, I have everything under control." He held her hand, giving her courageous encouragement and the strength to stabilize.
The corner of her mouth curled up, and she had no choice but to believe him.
Qin Hao suddenly called again, saying that the company had an emergency and asked Gu Xijue to go back and deal with it quickly.
"Haitang, you and Xiaochen go home first and pack your luggage. Su Xin is also leaving. I'm not worried about you mother and daughter living alone, so please move to my place. Aunt Zhou has packed up the room. You have a room.
Xiaochen room."
"Okay..." Xi Haitang nodded and agreed. The household registration matter has been taken care of. The days ahead will be unimaginably busy. It may be more convenient for her to move there.
"Then I'll pick you up tonight."
"No, Xiaochen and I can just take a taxi. Don't bother going back and forth. It's too hard."
"You care about me." His eyes locked on hers, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Xi Haitang's face turned red, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't."
"How can you blush if you don't?"
"It's freezing!" Her face turned red uncontrollably, and this time, even the base of her ears felt hot.
Gu Xijue laughed softly, feeling that her duplicity was so cute. He leaned closer and said in a low voice mixed with ambiguity, "Haitang, I like your concern."
Xi Haitang pushed him away in annoyance, "Go to the company quickly, Qin Hao is waiting for you!"
"I don't want to go. No matter how much money you make, you can't buy happiness like now."
She was stunned, surprised by his sudden emotion, which seemed to be sentimental.
The two of them stared at each other blankly. Xiaochen couldn't stand it anymore. She shook Gu Xijue's sleeve and said, "Uncle, if you don't go to work and make no money, how will you support me and Mommy in the future?!"
"
"Uh..." Gu Xijue and Xi Haitang were both embarrassed by Xiaochen's words.
Xi Haitang quickly squatted down and comforted her daughter, "Xiaochen, mommy can make money too, don't worry about this kind of problem."
"I'm not worried, I want to tell my uncle about his responsibility! After he marries you, he will be the head of the family. As a man, he must be upright and it is his duty to make money to support the family! Besides, I don't want mommy to have to work so hard in the future.
So I’m asking you, uncle, to work hard and make mommy happy!"
After all, Xiaochen is a good boy who wants his mommy to be happy and filial!
Gu Xijue nodded, looking very teachable, "Xiaochen, don't worry, uncle will definitely work very hard and make you mother and daughter happy!"
"Not just us, but also Yunhen!" The little girl was very sensible and did not forget Yunhen.
"Okay, no one will be left behind."
"Well! I will also be very obedient and will study very seriously. I will work hard with Yunhen in the future. Let's compete to see who gets the top spot!" Suddenly thinking of the previous English speech contest, Xiaochen still felt very excited.
It's a pity that I couldn't compete with Yunhen. I don't know who is better!
Looking at Xiaochen's high-spirited appearance, Gu Xijue suddenly felt that his own fighting spirit had been aroused. He never felt happy making money before, but now he feels that every extra penny he makes is good, because it carries the hope of his daughter.
ah!
Squatting down, he gently hugged the little girl's shoulders, "Xiaochen, uncle will work very hard to meet all your requirements. Tonight, uncle will start learning the Plants vs. Zombies game you mentioned, okay?"
Xiaochen squinted his eyes and cleverly realized that he had a conspiracy, "Uncle, do you have any other purpose?!"
"Ha..." Gu Xijue smiled again. This little girl is too smart! But I feel very happy to have such a smart daughter!
"Xiaochen, if uncle can clear the level, can you call me daddy?" Gu Xijue's eyes were full of expectation.
Hearing this, Xiaochen was stunned, and Xi Haitang was even more so. Although they were getting married, both of them knew the purpose behind the marriage, and she had never thought about asking her two children to change their tune.
Xiaochen didn't answer, and Xi Haitang didn't speak for him either, which made Gu Xijue feel a little disappointed.
Perhaps it was really a blood connection. Xiaochen felt his emotional changes. Although the expression on his face did not change and the smile at the corner of his mouth was still there, she just knew that he was sad.
"Uncle... do you think this is a good idea? Can you change your score from fifty-nine to above the passing line first, restore your knight uncle first, and talk about daddy later?"
Apparently, the little girl gave in kindly.
Gu Xijue felt extremely comforted, "Xiaochen, you are such a kind and good boy."
His praise made Xiaochen's face blush slightly. Oh no, she was so easily shy! But being praised by her uncle made her feel really sweet, as if her whole body was about to float! Well, no, no, no,
Can't be proud!
The little girl tried her best to stay calm, but she didn't know that her cute and cute appearance had been deeply imprinted in Gu Xijue's heart.
After the breakup, as Gu Xijue drove back to the company, she still couldn't calm down for a long time. She was pleasantly surprised by the sudden happiness, but also uneasy.
After turning the last corner, he arrived at the Jinjue Building. Suddenly, a pregnant woman rushed out on the sidewalk and walked straight towards his car.
Gu Xijue was startled and slammed on the brakes. He looked up and was stunned——
