Chapter 462: My Daddy

Gu Yuanjia never expected that Jiang Hao, who had always been at odds with him, would actually admire him from the bottom of his heart on such a matter.

Gu Yuanjia and Yuzhu took Nian'er back to the palace. Now most of the people in the palace had gone into the palace, leaving only a very small number of people to guard it.

Gu Yuanjia went directly with Yuzhu to the small courtyard where the mother and daughter lived. Nian'er was young but very precocious. Yuzhu whispered to Nian'er to explain the matter between her and Gu Yuanjia.

Nian'er said, "As long as mother is willing, and father Ji has no objection, it's fine for me to have a new father."

The little girl even remembered the day when Gu Yuanjia left Xizhou, and quietly asked her if it was okay for her to call him daddy next time they met. It was all planned in advance.

But Nian'er was a very principled person. Even though she had been in Xizhou City and was attacked by the Xizhou Army, and her life was almost in danger, after arriving in the capital, when she met Gu Yuanjia again, everyone said that Gu Yuanjia was about to rise to the top, she would wait until her mother separated from Father Ji and agreed to be with Gu Yuanjia before she expressed her feelings.

Mother's thoughts are the most important. Nian'er will not interfere, nor will she object.

She just wants her mother to be well and happy every day.

So her mother didn't need to explain to her what was going on between her and Gu Yuanjia.

"Not a new father." Gu Yuanjia squatted down, looked at Nian'er at eye level, and corrected him, "He's my biological father."

Yuzhu looked at Gu Yuanjia in surprise. She had originally planned to tell him about this matter after Nian'er fell asleep, but she never expected that he had already known about it.

Nian'er was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but then she quickly accepted the fact, "No wonder they all say that I look more and more like you..."

When Nian'er was young, she looked more like her mother, but as she grew up, she looked more and more like Gu Yuanjia.

When they were in Xizhou, Gu Yuanjia took Nian'er out to play, and some people always thought they were father and daughter. Even the people around them joked that if you face good-looking people every day, you will become more and more beautiful. Nian'er faced Master Gu every day, and even looked more and more like him.

At that time, everyone was joking about it in private. Yuzhu thought Nian'er didn't know. She never thought that Nian'er had such a good memory at such a young age.

Gu Yuanjia reached out and touched Nian'er's head, and said with a smile: "You are my daughter, so naturally you look like me."

The little girl had a pair of fox eyes, which were not very obvious when she was a child, but now they looked almost like Gu Yuanjia.

It was late at night, and Nian'er was so sleepy that she couldn't help but raise her hand and yawn, "I'm sleepy, I need to sleep."

Yuzhu quickly said, "Mom will sleep with you."

Gu Yuanjia couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

Nian'er glanced at Gu Yuanjia and said, "I'm a big kid now. I can sleep alone."

She knew that they had just gotten engaged tonight and must have a lot to talk about, so after she finished speaking, she trotted into the house, leaving them alone.

Yuzhu watched Nian'er run into the house and peek at them from behind the door. She couldn't help laughing. She walked over to Nian'er and said, "Didn't you say you were sleepy and wanted to go to bed?"

"Sleep! Sleep right now!"

Nian'er wanted to eavesdrop but was discovered by her mother. She immediately turned around and ran to the inner room, and this time she really went to sleep.

Yuzhu stood at the door and looked back at Gu Yuanjia.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the lights in the courtyard flicker.

Gu Yuanjia was still wearing his official robes, with handsome features, clear and upright appearance, and he walked slowly towards her in the night wind.

Yuzhu asked him, "When did you know?"

Gu Yuanjia smiled and asked, "Know what?"

Yuzhu thought to herself: You ask even though you already know the answer!

Gu Yuanjia walked over to Yuzhu and tucked her messy hair behind her ear. "Are you asking when I knew Nian'er was my daughter? Or when was it you that night?"

Yuzhu wanted to know.

Except for the time when Gu Yuanjia asked her to come back to him and mention this matter when she was seriously injured, he never mentioned it again.

She always thought that Gu Yuanjia didn't know.

Gu Yuanjia put his arm around Yuzhu, and they sat together on the bamboo chair by the door, looking at the sky full of stars and the crescent moon.

He said, "You know, I never drink to excess."

Gu Yuanjia was a very sensible person. Even when drinking, he always stopped at the right time. That night, he was drugged and fell into the trap by accident. It took him a lot of trouble to escape from the beauty trap. When he returned to the Gu Mansion, the effect of the drug had reached its peak. He could push others away, but deep down he longed for Yuzhu.

He had a night of passion with Yuzhu, who helped him change his clothes. When he woke up, Yuzhu hid herself away, and his memory became confused and incomplete due to the effects of the drug.

When Gu Yuanjia found the person who plotted against him, the person pushed forward a girl whose innocence had just been taken away, saying that he had slept with the girl last night after drinking.

Gu Yuanjia didn't believe it, but there was witnesses and evidence.

When he finished dealing with the mess and returned home, he found that Yuzhu had asked her mother for mercy and redeemed herself from the house.

The mother said that before that, Yuzhu's cousin had come to see Yuzhu, and the two seemed to be engaged.

Originally, his mother had planned to let Yuzhu be his concubine, but the girl was already engaged and her fiancé had come to him, so this plan fell through.

After Yuzhu left the house, she disappeared without a trace.

Gu Yuanjia offered a huge reward and searched for Yuzhu for a long time before he found her. However, she refused to go back with him and ran away, leaving him nowhere to find her.

When they met again later, Yuzhu had married into the Ji family and had given birth to a daughter.

Gu Yuanjia once advised himself that he should let go, but he could not let go of Yuzhu, even though she was married and had a daughter.

He still couldn't let go.

Isn’t it just getting married?

Isn't it just a daughter?

You can divorce after you get married, and he will raise your daughter.

If you really like someone, there is nothing unacceptable.

So when Yuzhu asked him to be her concubine later, he struggled with his conscience for three whole days, but finally agreed.

Fortunately, Yuzhu is not completely without him in her heart.

After being entangled with Yuzhu for a long time, Gu Yuanjia somehow suddenly regained his memory of that night and remembered that it was him who had a night of passion with him.

She had a daughter who was also his.

Moreover, after spending several years together, he had already realized that Yuzhu and Ji Changfeng were not a real couple at all.

He tasted her rawness, and all her joy was given by him.

Gu Yuanjia became more and more clear in his mind, but he never mentioned the past events in front of Yuzhu again.

Because he gradually understood that Yuzhu had her own worries and considerations.

Gu Yuanjia said softly, "I gradually understand that it's not that you don't like me, I just don't like being threatened or forced. You need a lot of love and courage to accumulate day after day before you dare to like me without any scruples.

Gu Yuanjia waited for this day for a long time.

Fortunately, this day has not come too late. He and she will have many, many years to spend together day and night, holding hands with each other.

Yuzhu knew that Gu Yuanjia had already understood her heart.

Gu Yuanjia's lips opened and closed, his eyes full of tenderness. Yuzhu leaned over and kissed him.

Gu Yuanjia kissed her back eagerly.

The moon was bright, and the cold night was warming up, and they were immersed in each other's deep love.
