When the bedtime story ended, Xiao An opened her big, round eyes and looked at Gu Tingxiao.
In the past, Xiao Anman would fall asleep before the story was finished at this time. What's wrong today?
Gu Tingxiao looked at Anman, who was lying in the quilt with only her little head sticking out, with some confusion.
"Isn't An'an sleepy?"
The fluffy little head shook its head.
"Do you want Daddy to tell you another story?"
Gu Tingxiao, who had already stood up, sat back down: "Do you still want Dad to stay with you for a while?"
The fluffy little head continued to shake.
Her big, watery eyes looked at Gu Tingxiao, clearly indicating that she had something to say to him.
"Tell Daddy, what's wrong with An'an?"
Gu Tingxiao leaned down and asked gently, brushing aside the soft baby hair on Xiao Anman's forehead.
Her soft little lips moved slightly before pressing into a thin line.
"Papa".
She called out to Gu Tingxiao in a childish voice.
"Hmm, An'an, Daddy's here. Is there something you want to tell Daddy?"
Gu Tingxiao was very patient.
"Won't Daddy find it troublesome after having An'an?"
Gu Tingxiao was startled. Why would Xiao Anman ask such a question? She had never said anything like that before.
Did something happen today?
Didn't you have a great time at the nursing home with your grandma?
Or did someone say something to Xiao Anman that they shouldn't have said without his knowledge?
The elderly father, Gu Tingxiao, immediately became nervous.
But no matter what he was thinking, Gu Tingxiao didn't show any unusual expression on his face.
"Dad has never thought An'an was a burden. Dad is very happy to have An'an's company."
Gu Tingxiao's tone was firm and his attitude was serious; he did not treat An'an perfunctorily just because she was a child.
"Does Daddy really think it's great to have An'an?"
An'an's big, bright eyes, which seemed to see right into people's hearts, sparkled with a lively light. Gu Tingxiao nodded in agreement; he had never thought of An'an as a troublesome person.
If it weren't for An'an, he might still be someone who is obsessed with work and has no sense of self.
"When will Daddy marry Aunt Shuangshuang?"
If it's not because he finds it troublesome, why doesn't the father want to get married?
Although An'an has never asked about her mother, every child in the kindergarten has a mother except for An'an.
Even Zhong Jiayi had met her mother, but Xiao Anman was an exception; she had never met her mother.
From the perspective of social relations, Xiao Anman's family environment is incomplete and lacking.
Moreover, every time Gu Tingxiao came home late from work, Xiao Anman felt from the bottom of her heart that her father had worked so hard.
She goes to kindergarten during the day, where she can play with many other children, but her father is always alone, feeling lonely.
Even if I were to accompany him, I wouldn't have enough time.
So An'an thought that her dad could be like other dads, with his wife by his side.
It doesn't have to be my own mother.
She hoped that Baba was happy and joyful.
Why would An'an ask that question?
Gu Tingxiao had never imagined that Xiao Anman could think so far ahead, so he was still a little surprised.
"Won't Daddy be with Aunt Shuangshuang?"
Aunt Shuangshuang is a very nice person, Xiao An thought.
"He's really been brainwashed by his grandma," Gu Tingxiao thought with amusement.
