Chapter 559: Chapter 557: Father and Daughter Recognition (1)

Song Yulan patted Gu Siting’s arm.

“Mom knows it hasn’t been easy for you these past few years, but has it been easy for Yaoyao? The fact that she was willing to give birth to your child shows that she still has you in her heart, it’s just that when you two parted ways, she still had some grudges!”

“From her perspective, you were married to another woman for four years, and now you’re the lofty president. Do you think she wouldn’t feel any pressure?”

“If you truly want a family reunion, be patient and let her see your sincerity in wanting to reconcile!”

“What era are we in now? Women are modern and independent. Yaoyao’s earning ability is no less than yours. She won’t reconcile with you just for the child’s sake. The only possibility for you two to get back together is if your sincerity moves her!”

Gu Siting looked at Song Yulan, who had suddenly transformed into a relationship expert, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

“Mom, she’s fallen for another man.”

Seeing a trace of desolation in Gu Siting’s dark eyes, Song Yulan felt not the slightest sympathy; she huffed, “It’s good that she’s starting a new life. You were married to Princess Dai Na for four years — she must have been suffering all that time. After causing her so much pain, you would deny her the chance to start afresh?”

Gu Siting’s eyebrows knit tightly together, “Mom, do you really want me to reconcile with her, or do you want her to be with another man?”

Looking toward the hospital room door, Song Yulan saw neither Ming Yao nor Little Orange had come in. She lowered her voice and said, “That depends on your skill now. You have a daughter together; you’ll never be strangers in this lifetime. Fate has placed you together; it’s up to you to fight for it.”

Gu Siting’s dark and deep eyes narrowed slightly. Suddenly, as if realizing something, his thin lips curved into a faint smile, “Mom, you sure know a lot.”

“Of course, I do. The older the ginger, the spicier it is!” Unable to wait to see Little Orange, Song Yulan said to Gu Siting, “Hurry, call Ming Yao and Xiao Guaiguai in here.”

Gu Siting walked to the door of the hospital room and said to Ming Yao and Little Orange, “My mom wants to see you. She’s asking you to come in.”

Ming Yao had just glanced through the window into the room; it seemed Aunt Lhan was not in grave danger.

She pushed Little Orange towards Gu Siting, “You take Little Orange in.”

Gu Siting glanced at Ming Yao and, seeing her unwillingness to go in, didn’t force her.

Inside the hospital room.

Song Yulan, seeing that Ming Yao hadn’t come in, showed a trace of disappointment in her eyes, but she understood Ming Yao’s feelings.

She had always kept Little Orange’s identity a secret, and probably felt a bit embarrassed to see her now.

“Beautiful Grandma, are you alright?”

Song Yulan shook her head, “Grandma is fine, just feeling a bit of heartache thinking about Little Orange leaving. Xiao Guaiguai, can you stay in the capital for a while?”

Little Orange blinked her large, black-glass-like eyes, “I don’t know if Mommy will agree.”

Gu Siting crouched down, looking at the exquisite little figure before him. His voice was slightly choked up as he said, “Little Orange, I already know that your mommy is Ming Yao, and the Trashy Dad you talk about is me.”

Little Orange’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Had she let something slip?

Little Orange quickly covered her mouth.

Both Gu Siting and Song Yulan couldn’t help but smile at her reaction.

“You didn’t let anything slip. Your mommy admitted it herself.”

Little Orange pouted her small lips, “Does Mommy still can’t forget Trashy Dad?”

Gu Siting’s mouth twitched, “Why would you say that, Little Orange? Or rather, how did you find out that I’m your daddy?”

Ming Yao never even revealed to Little Orange that she was her Mommy, let alone that he was her Daddy.

Little Orange spoke in a cute, milky voice, “Of course, it’s because I was with…” She nearly let the name brother slip out, “I figured it out myself. Sometimes Mommy watches Trashy Dad on TV and always gets lost in thought.”

If Trashy Dad and brother didn’t look too much alike, they wouldn’t have discovered the truth so easily!

“Just because your mommy watches me on TV, you know I’m your daddy?”

“Of course not, Mommy also has a picture of you…”

“Ming Yucheng!” Ming Yao couldn’t stand it any longer as she stood at the door. If the little girl kept on, she would spill everything!

Gu Siting looked towards Ming Yao, his dark eyes deep and complex.

She said they were impossible, but in private, she had kept his photos.

Gu Siting’s gaze softened a bit as he looked at Ming Yao.

Feeling his gaze on her, Ming Yao’s scalp tingled.

She hurriedly walked outside.

After Ming Yao left, Gu Siting turned his attention back to Little Orange, his heart beating fast.

“Little Orange, would you like to call me Daddy?”

He rarely interacted with children and faced with such a little pink bun, he was afraid that his intense gaze would frighten her, and his voice being too loud would scare her.

After he asked that question, he stared at her without blinking.

His mood was tenser than ever before.

He saw her beautiful long lashes fluttering, and her big, grape-like eyes staring blankly at him. She kept staring at him for a long while without making a sound.

“Little Orange?”

Gu Siting sounded a bit nervous, even his voice tensing up.

Little Orange looked at Gu Siting’s handsome face and shook her little head.

“You always make Mommy cry; I won’t call you Daddy.”

Gu Siting, “…”

He wanted to say something else when Song Yulan coughed, “Siting, don’t be too hasty.”

A hint of loss and sadness flashed in Gu Siting’s dark eyes, but he could understand and empathize with Little Orange’s feelings.

He gently touched Little Orange’s smooth, black hair with his large hand, “All right, Daddy won’t force you.”

Little Orange looked at Gu Siting’s large hand and let out a silent “wow” in her heart, amazed at how large Trashy Dad’s hand was compared to Mommy’s, so much bigger.

Actually, during their time together, Little Orange felt that Trashy Dad wasn’t as bad as she had imagined. Although he rarely smiled and always had a cold face, he was still quite nice to her.

She still had to ask Mommy’s opinion on whether to acknowledge him or not.

Little Orange found Ming Yao in the yard downstairs.

Seeing Little Orange running over, Ming Yao stretched out her arms to embrace her.

“Why did you come down so soon?”

Little Orange blinked and said, “Trashy Dad asked me to call him Daddy.”

Ming Yao touched Little Orange’s tender little face, “He is your Daddy, and you should call him that.”

“But, didn’t Mommy not want him to know about me and brother?”

Looking at the little girl who seemed to understand everything, Ming Yao sighed softly, “Now that he knows, you can’t call him Trashy Dad anymore; it’s not polite.”

“He often makes Mommy cry and even married the Witch Princess. Isn’t he a Trashy Dad then?”

Ming Yao’s mouth twitched.

When had she been crying all the time?

It was just occasionally, a time or two, and those two little ones had seen it. How embarrassing!
