Lily's birthday party was perfect, at least in Lily's opinion. After playing for a day, she was so tired that she fell asleep. Cheng Xi covered her with a blanket and went out to meet Gu Peng.
"Thank you. Lily is very happy today," Cheng Xi said gratefully.
Gu Peng was a little puzzled. "Why are you thanking me?"
Cheng Xi lowered her head and said, "Because you seemed very much like Lily's father today. You prepared balloons for her to play with and even let her sit on your shoulder. This is the life that Lily yearned for but didn't get."
Devon would never do such a thing. He wouldn't even celebrate Lily's birthday, let alone bring her to play. Cheng Xi didn't think that he was Lily's father, but Lily did want a father who loved her.
There was something between her and Gu Peng, but she also understood that this had to be accepted by Lily. She was even more worried that Gu Peng would not be able to take good care of Lily.
