Chapter 560: Chapter 558: Father and Daughter Recognition (2)

Gu Siting stood on the balcony of the second floor, his dark eyes fixed intently on Ming Yao and Little Orange downstairs.

Given his understanding of Ming Yao, she would not badmouth him in front of Little Orange.

Furthermore, when Little Orange said she secretly looked at his photos and wiped away tears, it meant that she still had feelings for him!

Thinking of this, Gu Siting’s tense features softened slightly.

His mother was right; he shouldn’t rush things.

For now, the priority was to have Little Orange accept him as her daddy.

With the bond of a child tying them together, the connection between him and Ming Yao couldn’t possibly be severed again!

Gu Siting couldn’t hear what Ming Yao was saying to Little Orange, but soon after, Ming Yao led Little Orange towards the upstairs.

She knew Gu Siting was on the balcony and even from a distance, she could feel his gaze upon her.

When they reached the balcony, Ming Yao did not come forward but nodded at Little Orange, “Go ahead!”

Little Orange toddled towards Gu Siting.

Just a few steps away from Gu Siting, she stopped again.

Lifting up her delicate little face, as she looked at her father who seemed as tall as a towering tree, a hint of admiration shone in her bright eyes.

When Brother grows up, he will be as tall and as handsome as daddy, right?

Gu Siting watched the little girl standing still, and anxiety began to stir inside him.

Why isn’t the little girl coming forward?

Does she still dislike him?

Gu Siting pursed his lips and squatted down, stretching out his long palm towards Little Orange, “Would you like to call me daddy?”

Little Orange blinked her adorable big eyes and took two steps forward, “Then you mustn’t fight with mommy for my custody in the future, okay?”

Gu Siting, “…”

“I can’t be without mommy. If you fight with her for my custody, then I won’t call you daddy.”

Gu Siting’s brow furrowed, and he spoke in a husky voice, “If she becomes daddy’s wife, daddy naturally won’t fight with her over custody.”

Little Orange tilted her head, pondering for a while before she understood Trashy Dad’s meaning.

Her beautiful, moist eyes suddenly widened, “Are you trying to compete with Uncle Si Ye for mommy?”

Gu Siting curved the corner of his lips, “What do you think are daddy’s chances?”

Little Orange muttered with her small mouth, “Not very good. You already married the Witch Princess, and mommy hasn’t even married Uncle Si Ye!”

Gu Siting, “…” This little girl!

“But, I still like you in my heart.” Even though Uncle Si Ye was very nice to her and Brother, ever since she saw Trashy Dad on TV, she inexplicably liked and admired him.

Of course, this was her little secret, which she had never revealed to anyone, not even Brother, who thought they were on the same side, disliking Trashy Dad.

If one day, Trashy Dad could marry mommy, she would be very happy.

Little Orange spoke very softly, but Gu Siting, with his acute hearing, didn’t miss a single word.

The little girl still liked him!

This was probably the power of blood ties!

Gu Siting felt his eyes warming up as he looked at Little Orange and reached out his long arms, “Can daddy give you a hug?”

Little Orange obediently moved closer to him.

Gu Siting felt a rush of joy as he firmly embraced Little Orange in his arms.

Holding the milky fragrance of the little girl’s body, Gu Siting’s nose tingled sharply, his eyes filling with heat that almost spilled over.

So this is what it feels like to be a daddy!

Soft, fragrant, and warm.

Indescribable joy, excitement, and tenderness.

Fearing that this was just a beautiful dream, when she woke up, everything would be gone.

He subconsciously hugged the Little Pink Bun in his arms a bit tighter.

Little did he know, he was holding Little Orange so tight she could hardly breathe.

Although this wasn’t Trashy Dad’s first time hugging her, this time was completely different from the past.

This time, the hug came after Trashy Dad knew she was his daughter.

His embrace was firm and broad, warm and safe.

It was like a big tree that could shelter her from wind and rain.

Little Orange also grew somewhat fond of daddy’s embrace. Just as she was about to lift her little hands to hug her daddy, he suddenly tightened his grip on her.

Little Orange’s tender white face instantly turned bright red.

She began to struggle vigorously in her daddy’s arms.

Feeling Little Orange’s struggles, Gu Siting quickly loosened his hold on her.

His dark eyes carried a hint of anxiety, “What’s wrong, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”

Little Orange’s cute big eyes were misted with a thin layer of water vapor, “Daddy’s hug was too tight, Little Orange could barely breathe!”

Seeing her cheeks turn cherry red, Gu Siting got a big scare, “Sorry, daddy got too excited, are you okay?” As he spoke, he seemed to realize something and stared at Little Orange in amazement, “What did you just call me?”

Little Orange looked at her daddy, dumbfounded, and she knitted her little brows, feeling that her daddy seemed a bit slow!

“Aren’t you my daddy? Of course, I called you daddy!”

Gu Siting did not expect Little Orange to start calling him daddy so quickly.

A huge surge of joy instantly flooded his heart and spread to every limb.

The contours of his face, usually cold and stern, became unbelievably soft at this moment.

He lifted Little Orange up, his arms raising her high.

Little Orange was both startled and delighted when her daddy lifted her high.

Daddy is really tall. Being held up high by him, she felt like she had become a giant, too.

Her laughter, like the ringing of silver bells, echoed on the balcony.

“Little girl, call me that again.”

“Daddy, are your ears not working? Daddy, daddy–”

Ming Yao, standing at the entrance to the balcony, watched the father and daughter recognize each other, her eyes unconsciously welling up with tears.

Although her relationship with Gu Siting was destined without fate, she had to admit, he was a good daddy.

She was somewhat conflicted, wondering whether or not to tell him about Little Orange having an older brother.

What would his expression be if he knew?

Ming Yao took out her phone and called Xiao Yiyi.

If he, like Little Orange, wanted to recognize Gu Siting, she would tell Gu Siting about his identity.

The children were more sensible and precocious than their peers, so she would respect their opinions.

Soon, the call connected.

Ming Yao told Xiao Yiyi about Little Orange’s recognition of Gu Siting and asked for his opinion.

Learning that Little Orange had so quickly acknowledged Trashy Dad, Xiao Yiyi humphed in a display of disgruntled pride.

“Mommy, you and my sister haven’t returned to the island for so long, I guess it’s because she’s been dragging you down. If she wants to recognize him, let her stay there; I won’t acknowledge him so easily.”

“He’s the President and will surely want to keep her by his side after learning about her identity. I don’t want him to take away my custody again. Wherever you are, that’s where I’ll be.”

“Besides, I don’t have time to acknowledge him now; there’s so much training waiting for me.”

“If there’s nothing else, mommy, I’m going to hang up.”

Looking at the disconnected call, Ming Yao was stunned for a few seconds.
