"I'm sorry, Can Can, Dad was too busy before, so I didn't have time to come see you."
"Now that Daddy has time, I'll come pick you up every day from now on, okay?" Lu Wen reached out and touched her little face.
"Dad, no need, you go about your business, Mom will come to pick me up!" Can Can didn't get as close to him as he had imagined.
Her expression was respectful yet tinged with a hint of aloofness, and his heart skipped a beat. In the end, he had been too negligent towards her!
"Then, from now on, Mom and I will come to pick you up together, okay?"
A bright smile spread across Cancan's face as she laughed and rushed toward him.
Lu Wen stretched out his hands, intending to accept his daughter's embrace.
She then slipped past him and called out, "Mom!"
His smile froze, and he awkwardly withdrew his hands.
He turned around and saw the mother and daughter laughing and hugging each other.
"You've come?" He stared at the woman in front of him.
She's thinner than before, but her overall presence is stronger!
"Why are you here?" Xia Xia looked at the person in front of her and frowned almost imperceptibly.
“Cancan is my daughter, and that will never change. I’ve come to see my daughter, so what? Is that not allowed?” Lu Wen said calmly.
"Of course. Have you finished watching now?" Xiaxia didn't want to argue with him in front of her daughter, so she was too lazy to bring up past grievances.
Moreover, she has absolutely no intention of bringing up past grievances with him now.
"Xiaxia, I'm sorry about what happened before!" Lu Wen hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
"There's nothing to apologize for. We're divorced now. Let bygones be bygones. And remember to call me by my full name, Gu Yusu, from now on!"
Xiaxia is the name used by close relatives; she doesn't like outsiders to call her that.
Although she had called him that before, he was now a stranger.
"But that's what I've always called you, and I'm afraid I can't change it so easily!"
"Then... we'll revise it slowly!"
"Is there anything else? If not, I'll take Can Can back now."
“Xiaxia…”
Xia Xia shot a sharp glare at him.
She has been managing the company for several years now, and her authority has grown day by day, making her quite formidable for most people.
Lu Wen was genuinely stunned by her for a moment!
However, he wasn't scared, he was astonished! His impression of Xiaxia was still from the time when she used to fawn over him.
He subconsciously swallowed the rest of his words, then stammered out again, "Yu... Su..."
He always found these two words a bit awkward to pronounce.
"Remember from now on, call me Gu! Yu! Su!"
"Yusu, even though we're divorced, we're still Cancan's parents. There's no need to make things so awkward, is there?" The second time she said it, it wasn't so stiff.
"But it doesn't need to be too good! I think... staying like this is fine!"
“Okay… then, I’ll give you a ride!” Lu Wen suggested.
"No need, I have a car!"
“I didn’t mean anything by it. I just wanted to spend more time with Can Can. You know, I’ve been busy with my career these past few years and haven’t had much time to take care of her…”
"Oh, so he's had a change of heart and wants to make it up to his daughter!" Xiaxia's words were full of sarcasm.
Lu Wen readily agreed, "You could say that!"
Xiaxia looked up, her eyes filled with surprise and doubt. "Lu Wen, are you possessed?"
He has always been proud and confident. When has he ever been so humble?
Is this really him? She can hardly tell.
"Maybe! No, I should say I was possessed before, but now my mind is clear!"
Lu Wen stared directly into her eyes without flinching or avoiding them, his gaze revealing something he had never seen before.
Xiaxia looked him over carefully; his face was still as handsome as before.
His experience in society has shed his original naivety and given him a more mature air.
It also gave him a touch of refinement and added a sense of experience to his eyes.
She was indeed better than before! However, she could no longer feel anything for him.
"Well... congratulations. Okay, I have something to do, I'll be going now!"
Xiaxia didn't have time to investigate his changes. These days, she was so busy that she wished she could be in another person's arms.
This is their first collaboration with the Fu family, so they have to make sure it's a perfect success.
She only managed to pick up Can Can from school today because she had a spare moment from her busy schedule.
"Yusu, your career is important, but you also need to take care of your health. You've lost weight lately."
"My affairs are none of your business. Have you finished speaking? If you have, we should go!"
On the way back.
Can Can asked, "Mommy, do you hate Daddy?"
"No, I don't hate him, I just don't love him anymore." She said the last sentence very softly.
"Well..." She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she felt that her mother's attitude towards her father was completely different from how she treated other people.
"Ask whatever you want!" Xiaxia said softly, patting her daughter's head as she looked hesitant to speak.
"I have nothing more to ask!" Can Can shook her head.
In the days that followed, Lu Wen frequently appeared at the school gate.
He would also take the opportunity to chat with Xiaxia while picking up his child.
However, Xiaxia's attitude was indifferent, and she even said bluntly, "You don't need to flatter me."
Even though we are divorced, Can Can is still your daughter. You can see her anytime you want.
I won't stop you and your daughter from seeing each other!
Of course, if you miss her, you can bring her to your place to visit.
