Gu Xinzhou tightly grasped her father's hand.
She smiled sweetly, "Daddy, I know the Gu Family is facing a lot of pressure right now.
But no matter what happens, I will stand by your side and support you!
Your daughter has grown up and is no longer the frail girl she used to be.
Have you forgotten my nickname, Zhouzhou?
When necessary, in times of trouble for Daddy and the Gu Family, I can also become a small boat, carrying you across tough muddy paths."
Gu Yibo hadn't expected his daughter to be so understanding.
How much hardship and refining had she gone through to become so mature and sensible?
If he could, Gu Yibo would rather she be naïve, prefer her to be willful and capricious!
"Good!" Gu Yibo said, his eyes reddened, "Daddy will be strong for you! Daddy and Zhouzhou will depend on each other, protecting one another!"
The doorbell rang.
From the door came the familiar voice of the bodyguard, "Miss Gu, the flowers the Boss ordered have arrived."
The father and daughter stood up eagerly, with synchronized movements they looked toward the door.
What they saw was not only a large bouquet of roses brought in by the bodyguards, but also several large boxes.
Placed in front of the father and daughter, the bodyguards withdrew respectfully.
Curious, Gu Yibo asked, "What are these?"
"I don't know," Gu Xinzhou's beautiful eyes also showed confusion.
She slowly squatted down and, together with her father, opened all the boxes.
A set of crescent white evening dress, covered with Swarovski crystals, hand-sewn freshwater pearls, delicate lace, and feather-like ornaments on the hem.
A set of Cartier diamond jewelry that was the latest model Gu Xinzhou had seen with Gu Yibo in a magazine at the store, available only for pre-sale within China, without any stock on hand.
A pair of crystal shoes, translucent and studded with shining diamonds, just like the kind in fairy tales, dreamy and fantastical.
A precious crocodile skin Hermès limited edition evening bag, the world's only gold and silver mixed color, exquisitely small, yet sufficient to hold a girl's phone, lipstick, makeup mirror, and other trinkets.
These... were almost the dreams that all women strive for in a lifetime.
At this moment, they were effortlessly spread out in front of Gu Xinzhou.
"Song Zhen!"
Just as Gu Xinzhou stared at these items in a daze.
Gu Yibo, unbeknownst to her, was already talking with Song Zhen on the phone.
Gu Xinzhou suddenly looked up, eagerly looking at Gu Yibo, with a thought crossing her mind, "Turn on the speaker, let me listen too!"
"Hehehe, all right, all right, don't worry, yeah, I've got it," Gu Yibo spoke and ended the call.
He looked at Gu Xinzhou with the joy of a child, "Hahaha, don't worry, Song Zhen said he's found a makeup artist for you, coming at 8:30, so let's have breakfast first.
He remembers your stomach ulcer and told me to make sure not to delay your mealtime."
Gu Xinzhou's lips were tightly closed.
Her beautiful eyes shimmered with surprise.
Her cheeks were flushed with the rosy glow of happiness.
She thought...
If everything goes well...
If she were blessed by fortune...
Then she wouldn't play hard to get.
She would find the right time, to be honest with Gu Yibo and Song Zhen about McDull.
Song Zhen's yearning for happiness and warm family affection was infused into these gifts.
And after breakfast, Gu Xinzhou shyly and proactively embraced these gifts, wearing his sentiments for all to see.
