Chapter 542: Chapter 540: She’s His Daughter?
Since seeing the images of Ming Yao and Si Ye together, Gu Siting had been feeling very down and lost lately.
Aside from being busy with official duties, his only joy seemed to be returning to the Gu Residence.
For some reason, he was particularly fond of Little Orange.
Every time he saw her delicate and beautiful little face, his heart would unconsciously soften.
That evening, he carried a Barbie doll that he had asked Lu Zhou to buy and entered the Gu Family villa.
As soon as he entered, he heard Little Orange’s giggles, as if she was video chatting with someone.
Gu Siting walked over to take a look.
The woman in the video was actually Xia Yiwan?
Xia Yiwan was still alive?
In the video, Xia Yiwan seemed to have noticed him as well, as she smiled and nodded at him, “Mr. President.”
It really was Xia Yiwan!
Seeing Gu Siting return, Little Orange waved at Xia Yiwan, “Mommy, bye~”
Hearing Little Orange call Xia Yiwan Mommy, Gu Siting’s brows immediately furrowed.
He put down the Barbie doll in his hand, sat next to Little Orange, and looked at her with dark, deep eyes, “Are you Xia Yiwan’s daughter?”
He remembered that before Xia Yiwan’s incident, it seemed she was pregnant.
Counting the time, it should be about the same as Little Orange’s.
If Little Orange was indeed Xia Yiwan’s daughter, wouldn’t that make her Yanxi’s daughter?
Over the past four years, due to Shi Ying’s situation, Gu Siting and Yanxi hadn’t had much interaction.
Yanxi was a business genius and had always been a leader in his field!
Although they didn’t interact much, as the President, Gu Siting needed the support of powerful families like the Yan Family to stand firm in the capital city.
So the relationship hadn’t become too stiff.
Gu Siting looked at Little Pink Bun in front of him, his deep eyes revealing a touch of complexity.
He never would have thought that her “Trashy Dad” would be Yanxi!
Indeed, Yanxi was quite trashy.
Little Orange couldn’t understand the look in Gu Siting’s eyes as he gazed at her. Pouting her little mouth, she tugged at Gu Siting’s sleeve, “Handsome Uncle, Wanwan’s mommy has had a hard time raising me these years. I want to meet that Scum Uncle who let her down. Can you help me?”
Little Pink Bun was acting coquettishly, her eyes misty like black grapes, looking on the verge of tears–nobody could resist that.
Even if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would pluck them for her!
“If he’s such scum, why do you want to see him?”
Little Orange mumbled with her rosy lips, “Bad as he is, he’s still my Trashy Dad!”
Gu Siting was silent for a moment, “There’s an economic forum summit tomorrow afternoon. He should be attending. I’ll take you to meet him then.”
“Really? Thank you, Handsome Uncle,” she said.
Looking at the adorable and cute Little Pink Bun, Gu Siting’s heart ached unbearably.
Yanxi already had a daughter, and she was so cute and delicate. When would he have his own child?
…
The next afternoon.
Little Orange wore a pink puffy princess dress, her slightly curled long hair draped over her waist, and a crystal headband on her head.
Her face was fair and tender, her features exquisitely beautiful–elegant and ladylike, looking just like a princess out of a fairy tale.
It was evident that Little Orange had dressed up with care for the day.
Seeing Gu Siting staring intently at her, she beamed, “Handsome Uncle, dressed like this to meet Trashy Dad, do you think he’ll like me?”
Gu Siting’s brows furrowed slightly, “He’s so trashy, why do you even want him to like you?”
Little Orange puffed out her cheeks and said, “But anyway, he’s still my Trashy Dad!”
Gu Siting stretched out his long palm toward Little Orange, “Let’s go, I’ll take you there.”
“Okay.”
Actually, after spending some time together, Little Orange found that her Trashy Dad wasn’t as bad as she had imagined.
He seemed to like her quite a bit, bringing back toys she liked, buying her the little cakes she enjoyed, and one time when she envied a kid on TV riding piggyback on their dad, Trashy Dad even let her ride on his back.
But as soon as Little Orange remembered the Witch Princess who made Mommy sad, she couldn’t muster any sympathy for him at all!
Gu Siting watched as Little Orange furrowed her brows one moment and pouted the next, lost in her thoughts, and his thin lips couldn’t help but curve up slightly, “Thinking about your Trashy Dad?”
“Yeah, my dad really has no eye for people.”
Gu Siting, “…”
If your dad has no eye for people, why are you glaring at me?
Lu Zhou came to the Gu Residence to pick them up.
Though he had heard that the Gu Residence had a new little cutie, he was still amazed by Little Orange’s beauty and charm when he saw her in person.
“You’re Uncle Lu Zhou, right?” She had heard Aunt Zhong Ling mention Uncle Lu Zhou before.
Aunt Zhong Ling seemed to have a secret crush on Uncle Lu Zhou, but Uncle Lu Zhou, being a straight-as-an-arrow man, never noticed her affection, and it seemed like Aunt Zhong Ling was so frustrated she was about to go on blind dates.
A smile appeared on Lu Zhou’s handsome face, “Hello, little friend.”
“I’m Little Orange~”
Lu Zhou nodded, “I’ve got it.”
Lu Zhou drove to the Economic Summit’s conference center.
Gu Siting looked at Little Orange, his cold and handsome facial features softening slightly, “I have a meeting to attend, later Lu Zhou will take you to meet Yanxi.”
Little Orange gave Gu Siting an OK sign, “Handsome Uncle, I’m going back with Trashy Dad tonight, you don’t have to wait for me, okay?”
Gu Siting hummed a response in a low voice.
The meeting would take over an hour, so Lu Zhou took Little Orange to the VIP lounge.
Little Orange was beautiful and adorable, drawing greetings from everyone they passed on the way.
When they reached the VIP lounge, Little Orange stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the bustling lobby of the conference hall.
Suddenly, she spotted a tall figure.
She checked her smartwatch.
He was the spitting image of the photo her mommy had sent.
It seemed she had found Yanxi, the Scum Uncle who hurt her godmother Wanwan!
But in person, he looked so different from his photo!
In the photo, he was super handsome, but in person, he seemed a bit malnourished. Hasn’t he been eating well all this time?
She had heard that after hurting her godmother Wanwan, he got together with another bad auntie. It must be that bad auntie mistreating him, right?
As Yanxi was about to enter the meeting hall, he felt a gaze on him and turned to look but didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.
After the meeting, Yanxi went to the restroom.
Upon coming out, he was bumped into by Little Pink Bun.
Yanxi looked down at the Little Pink Bun hugging his leg, surprise flashing in his peach blossom eyes, “Who are you?”
Little Orange raised her exquisite little face and smiled brightly at him, “I’ve seen you on my mommy’s phone, are you my Daddy?”
Yanxi was surprised, “Your mommy is?”
“Yiwan, of course.”
Yanxi’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
When Yiwan had the accident, she had been pregnant.
A few days ago, when they had that sort of reunion, she had been full of hatred toward him, and he hadn’t even had the chance to ask her about the child.
If the child had been born, they would be around the same age as this Little Pink Bun.
