As the sounds of joyful laughter traveled into her ears from afar, Gu Shuling did not look pleased. The jealousy in her heart slithered around like a venomous snake, making her uncomfortable and angry. These feelings developed into a destructive hatred that gave her the urge to make everyone that she disliked disappear from the world.

She threw her chopsticks on the dining table.

Gu Chen entered just in time to catch this scene.

He walked straight over and sat down opposite Gu Shuling. The middle-aged man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looking noble, refined, reliable, and mature, without losing any of his majesty.

As soon as she saw Gu Chen, Gu Shuling jumped in fright. She then looked pitifully at the man and shouted in grief, “Daddy.”

Gu Chen looked at her and said indifferently, “Give up.”

Yesterday, when he said there was no room left, that was all a lie. Gu Shuling had pleaded Gu Chen to speak to Fang Zhihan because she knew he would never reject the man as long as it wasn’t too unreasonable.

That’s how she managed to stay in the courtyard.

Tears fell from Gu Shuling’s eyes and her voice was choked up, “Daddy…I really like him.”

“What do you like about him? How many times have you met over the years? While he was in the military, you were studying overseas. When you returned from overseas, he ended up going overseas. And when he returned, he placed his entire focus on work. He comes and goes like a ghost and no one ever knows where he is. You only see each other once or twice a year; your paths don’t cross at all. Why would you like him?” Gu Chen asked.

“I don’t know either. All I know is I like him. A long time ago, when he first handed me that orange, I already fell in love with him and decided to love him for life,” Gu Shuling replied.

When she saw her father furrow his brows, she quickly added, “At that time, I remember he was familiar with my sister. When I fell in love with him, I didn’t even know his name. I’ve loved him for so many years. If you ask me to suddenly stop loving him, I don’t know how to do it.”

“He already has a girlfriend,” Gu Chen did not sound satisfied with Fang Zhihan. “The only reason why I agreed to your request was so you could view the situation properly and not hang yourself on this one tree.”
