Chapter 468
Owe
After Chu Yuanyan disappeared from the bottom of the cliff, Zheng Shang was not sure whether Chu Yuanyan would come back alive, let alone whether Gu Zhian was still alive.
He felt that Jing'er should know the truth. Her mother fell off a cliff to save her, and her father disappeared while trying to find her mother. She should know that the man who risked his life to find her mother was actually her biological father.
So he told her her life experience, and also hoped that she could weaken some of her hatred for her biological father. She could blame him, but don't hate him.
"Mom, if Uncle Chu becomes my father, will Daddy Zheng leave me?" Jing'er's voice was choked with sobs. She didn't look up, but her tears had already fallen, and every drop fell on the mud in her hands.
On the dumpling.
Gu Zhian quickly put his daughter into his arms and comforted her softly, "Daddy Zheng will always be your daddy. As long as he is willing, you can call him Daddy Zheng for the rest of his life."
Jing'er's cute little head twisted in her arms, as if she was shaking her head, but her voice was low and muffled, "Mom, I'm not a child anymore. I know the story that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers."
She knew a lot, but she didn't know who told her this. Gu Zhian suddenly wanted to tease her, "Since you know that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, you can only choose one. Who does Jing'er want to choose?"
Jing'er raised her head, blinking her teardrop eyes, looking innocent and cute, "Mom, please marry both of them home, so that I can have two fathers, and you can too."
If you have two husbands, you are better than others."
Zheng Shang, who had just walked over, happened to hear this and almost spit out blood. Is this really the kid he has loved for four years? What kind of weird ideas are these? Who taught him?
Gu Zhian also had the same idea. Who taught her daughter to be like this?
Zheng Shang coughed twice and walked over slowly to relieve Gu Zhian's embarrassment. He took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Jing'er, there is a lantern festival tomorrow, do you want to go see it?"
As expected, Jing'er's attention was diverted. She immediately got out of Gu Zhian's arms, threw away the mud in her hands, ran to Zheng Shang and rubbed it for a few times before climbing up. Zheng Shang was covered with mud marks all over his face.
"What kind of lantern festival is it? What fun things are there? I really want to go."
Zheng Shang looked helpless, "You go wash your hands and change your clothes first. After you clean up, daddy will tell you."
Jing'er smiled and slipped off Zheng Shang again and ran away.
Gu Zhian stood up and walked to the basin prepared by the maid to wash himself. He smiled and said, "Did you hear it? Don't mind, she is just talking nonsense."
Zheng Shang looked at her, his eyes bitterer than ever, "Yes, I heard you."
The two of them sat down at the stone table by the lotus pond. Zheng Shang wanted to pour tea for Gu Zhian out of habit, but Gu Zhian beat him to it, "Thanks to you for taking care of Jing'er these past few months."
Zheng Shang smiled, took the tea cup, took a sip and put it down, "I have always regarded Jing'er as my own child, and taking care of her is what I should do."
Gu Zhian was a little embarrassed. She felt deeply indebted to Zheng Shang. Even though she had clearly proposed to him to terminate the engagement five years ago, she could not get over the hurdle in her heart and could not marry him. He didn't want to at that time.
She was embarrassed and agreed to terminate the engagement and even returned the engagement token, but he did not leave. He still stayed in Surabaya in the name of her fiancé, silently covering up gossip for her, silently taking on the role of father and educating Jing'er.
She could obviously stop him from doing this and forcefully end the relationship, but she didn't.
If you say she is selfish, she admits it is for Jing'er.
"Zheng Shang, there is something I want to say to you."
