"Mingjing thinks so too?" Jian Yucheng asked.
"He said he'd listen to me and that it's okay if he doesn't have a baby." Jian Shu couldn't help but complain, "Dad, let me tell you, before the baby was born, every time I felt bad, he'd look so regretful and say he shouldn't have had a baby. Don't you think he was just talking nonsense? How heartbroken must Yi Yi be when he heard that?"
Jian Yucheng agreed with his son-in-law's words. His daughter was the most important, and everything else had to take a back seat. Therefore, his satisfaction with Gu Mingjing rose a little bit.
"Does his family know?"
Only then did Jianshu realize the real reason her father asked this question, which was because he was worried that Gu Zhan would have objections.
"Dad, don't worry. Gu Mingjing's eldest brother has several children. The Gu family has no shortage of grandchildren. When we wrote to him about the child's nickname, Mr. Gu had no objection and told us to decide for ourselves."
"Old Gu is indeed not bad." Jian Yucheng nodded with satisfaction. It seems that this in-law is a good choice. After all, he knows his family well and his character is also guaranteed.
"That's why I chose Gu Mingjing back then. My family is simple, and Uncle Gu has liked me since I was a child. We were separated after we got married, so I can be the head of the family myself and don't have to worry about anyone above me putting pressure on me or forcing me with seniority or filial piety." Jianshu explained.
Jian Yucheng listened attentively, a hint of mischief flashing in his eyes, "Are you really attracted to this, and not his face?"
She knew exactly what little flaws her own daughter had. The child had always been good at looking at faces, and she obviously liked those who were good-looking.
Why did he guard Gu Mingjing so closely back then? Besides the childhood marriage that Gu Zhan had mentioned, wasn't it because of that boy's face?
But he hadn't expected that many years later, that boy would still kidnap his daughter. He couldn't even get angry now, after all, he was the one who broke his promise and couldn't be with his child, and he felt a bit guilty. He couldn't be too picky about Gu Mingjing, a son-in-law who treated his daughter well and whom his daughter was very satisfied with.
"Dad, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?" Jian Shu was a little embarrassed and annoyed. Although it was true that she looked at the face at first sight, marriage is not something that can be decided by just looking at the face.
"If his family is a mess, I will definitely not marry him no matter how good-looking he is. I'm not a fool who would jump into the fire pit even if I know it's a fire pit." Her voice became louder and louder, as if she had gained confidence.
Jian Yucheng patted her head soothingly, "Okay, Dad was wrong. How could our Shushu be such a superficial person? She must have married him because she thought he was a good person."
Jianshu: "..." Why does this sound a bit off? I always feel like you are implying something to me.
She quickly shook her head. How could that be? She must be overthinking it.
"Dad, don't worry. I've been living well these years. Although I miss you terribly and often want to cry, I've been living a good life. When I was in Beijing a few years ago, everyone around me took special care of me. Now that you're back, I don't even have the last bit of unhappiness anymore. With you here, I don't have to worry about anyone bullying me." Jian Shu knew that her father still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, so she could only try her best to tell him that she had been living well these years so that he didn't have to feel guilty.
Her father was a great hero, and what he did must have benefited many people. As a daughter, she was proud of him, and as long as he could come back and appear in front of her in good health, she would accept anything.
Jian Yucheng listened quietly for a long time before speaking in a hoarse voice, "Shushu, in front of Dad, you don't have to be a sensible adult. You can still cry and make a scene as you like. You don't have to suppress your emotions. You can always be a child who cries and makes a scene without restraint."
How could there not be some unsatisfactory aspects? When he left, Shushu was only sixteen years old, still a child. Suddenly, her family suffered a huge change. Not only did she have to endure the pain of losing her father, but she also had to grow up immediately and face the ups and downs.
But in front of him, she only talked about the good things and glossed over the others, as if life was a smooth journey.
Jian Shu stared at her father blankly, and finally she could no longer suppress her tears. The grievances that were usually deliberately ignored surged into her heart, and she couldn't help but throw herself into Jian Yucheng's arms and burst into tears.
"Dad, I really miss you, why don't you come back soon!"
She thought she was confused when she first "traveled through time", recalled the sorrow of all her memories, the loneliness of being alone, the ridicule from others behind her back, the schemes of those who bullied her as an orphan...
Many, many scenes flashed through her mind one by one, and all the grievances and sorrows gushed out.
She cried so hard that she couldn't care less about anything else.
Her father is back, and she is no longer a fatherless child.
It's like having someone to rely on, letting out all the negative emotions from the past.
Jian Yucheng hugged her silently, tears silently falling on his face.
This was the second time the two hugged and cried after meeting each other. Compared with the first time they met, their emotions were more open.
This was also the reason why the two of them hadn't dared to bring up the past for the previous month. They knew that if they did, they would burst into tears. And during the confinement period, one shouldn't be too emotionally involved.
Jianshu was too emotional, perhaps because of the bond between mother and daughter, or perhaps because she was simply annoyed by the noise, but little Gu Yiyi burst into tears.
“Wow wow—”
But Jianshu didn't care about anything at this time, she just wanted to vent.
Jian Yucheng didn't stop her and let her cry. He picked up the child with his other hand and gently coaxed him.
With someone holding her and comforting her, the spoiled Gu Yiyi soon stopped crying, but she continued to sob with her little mouth pursed, as if accusing her mother of not caring about her.
After venting all her emotions, Jianshu slowly stopped crying with hiccups. Her face was wet with tears, and even her fallen hair was stained with tears. She looked extremely miserable.
"You little shrew, won't your mother just ignore you when you cry? Look how wronged you are." Jian Shu reached out and touched her daughter's nose, then picked her up and coaxed her.
Feeling the breath of his mother, little Gu Yiyi finally stopped looking aggrieved and wanted to cry but couldn't. He rubbed his whole body against Jian Shu's arms, opened his little mouth slightly, and soon fell into a deep sleep again.
"Little piggy!"
