"Zhouzhou!"
Gu Yibo also looked at his daughter seriously.
He rarely put on such a stern face when talking to this little treasure.
Having seen her in an autistic state before, he could hardly bear to be even slightly harsh on her!
Not to mention now, as she was growing to look more and more like her mother.
Gu Xinzhou saw that her father was being stern with her and showed a wronged expression on her face, but inside, she was not at all panicked.
She knew how to deal with Gu Yibo most effectively.
Biting her lip, on the verge of tears, she stayed silent, just looking at Gu Yibo with a pitiful expression.
She was determined to make him feel heartbroken!
Seeing her like this, Gu Yibo was reminded of the time when he and her mother broke up.
He felt even more that if he didn't treat this daughter well, the woman he loved in heaven would be crying.
"Zhouzhou, listen to Daddy," he said, "Don't think too much for now, Cassie is a sensible and good child, and won't be upset over this. Plus, I've already talked to Cassie, and I'll bring him to see you tomorrow!"
Gu Yizhou pulled over his daughter's hand, gently patting it, and coaxed her softly.
Next to them, Song Zhen asked coldly, "Zhouzhou, why on earth must you go back to the hotel?"
Do you really want to take things further with Cassie?
Don't you know it's intimate for a single man and a single woman to be alone together in a room?
Song Zhen admitted, he was jealous.
He knew full well that Gu Xinzhou was still deeply in love with him, and he knew that this Cassie was a helper she had hired.
But Song Zhen was still jealous!
He regretted it deeply.
Why didn't he agree to marry her five years ago!
If he had agreed then, there wouldn't be so many troubles now!
If he had agreed then, she would still be looking at him with admiration to this day, calling him "Brother Song Zhen" like a little fan!
The more Song Zhen thought about it, the more suffocated he felt!
He kept a stern face, staring at Gu Xinzhou, as if he wouldn't let go until she gave a proper explanation!
Gu Xinzhou felt guilty under Song Zhen's questioning.
She wouldn't think in the direction of his jealousy; she would only feel that Song Zhen was extremely smart and might guess something.
For her, nothing was more important now than protecting McDull!
"Fine, I won't go!" Gu Xinzhou's eyes faltered as she shouted, "I'm hungry! Hurry up and let me eat!"
Song Zhen turned his head to ask, "Is the food ready?"
From the kitchen, a maid hurriedly came out, "It's still, it's still a little while, about fifteen minutes!"
Song Zhen: "Hurry up!"
Maid: "Yes!"
Fifteen minutes later.
Gu Yibo, Song Zhen, and Gu Xinzhou were sitting at the dining table.
The dinner wasn't lavish, but it was very stomach-friendly.
Sea cucumber millet porridge, sweet and sour lotus root, stir-fried spinach, steamed mixed grains (Chinese yam, pumpkin, sweet potato, corn), purple cabbage salad, and a plate of okra.
Gu Yibo, who dealt with daily banquets, had grown tired of exotic delicacies.
But the meal today, simple as it was, he enjoyed immensely.
Song Zhen noticed that Gu Xinzhou loved the porridge but absolutely wouldn't touch the okra.
So, he forcibly put a piece of okra into her bowl!
Gu Xinzhou immediately scrunched up her little face, "I don't like okra!"
Song Zhen patiently explained, "The slime in okra is made of pectin and sugars, which can protect the stomach lining! You have ulcers in your stomach; eating more of it is good for your health!"
"I don't want it!" Gu Xinzhou said frankly, "I don't like it! Even if it's friendly to me, I still don't like it!"
Song Zhen was stern, "Eat it!"
Gu Xinzhou insisted, "No!"
Gu Yibo hurried her, "Eat, eat, eat!"
Once finished, he stood up, chuckling, "Song Zhen, you take care of Zhouzhou. Make sure she finishes her meal. I'm going upstairs to sleep!"
