Gong Jue hugged Gu Qiqi tightly as she listened to him apologize repeatedly.

No matter how confused she was, she still felt a little suspicious.

Could it be that the stupid man wasn’t talking about last night?

What exactly was he apologizing for…

What the hell had happened?

Could it be that the little packrat’s biological mother had returned?

That didn’t make sense either. He had said that he hadn’t met her earlier… Could he have meant that he hadn’t met her before meeting the little packrat’s biological mother?

The more Gu Qiqi thought about it, the more confused she became. Her heart pounded like a deer.

Gong Jue hugged her tightly and refused to let go.

Finally the little boy climbed down from his chair and stood between them. He raised his head and stretched out his young arms, trying his best to hug them both.

Gong Jue finally raised his chin slightly and glanced at the little person below.

The little girl blinked her big, sparkling eyes and criticized Gong Jue in all seriousness. “Daddy, you said yourself that if apologizing was useful, why would you need the law? If you really feel sorry for Big Sister, then you should compensate her with your actions. This is what a man should do.”

The little packrat’s childish words hit Gong Jue hard.

Like thunder.

Yes, there was no point in apologizing.

Right now, he only wished he could make it up to her a thousand times over, give her a thousand times more love, make her forget the hurt she’d suffered four years ago, and kill the person who’d bought the eggs from her. Kill that scumbag of a father who betrayed her.

His Adam’s apple bobbed.

He seemed to have become even more determined. He finally let go of Gu Qiqi and strode towards the dining table.

“Let’s eat!”

He took the initiative to pick up his plate and chopsticks and eat the breakfast that Gu Qiqi had prepared for him.

The tightness in his heart was swept away.

Seeing that he had finished one plate after another, Gu Qiqi had no choice but to quickly cook for him.

At the end of the meal, she wondered if the man had not eaten a single grain of rice outside for the past week.

Why was he so hungry?

The little packrat did not show any weakness and followed Gong Jue to eat and drink milk.

The two men, one big and one small, were simply Gu Qiqi’s loyal fans.

Seeing this, Gu Qiqi finally put down the doubts in her heart and revealed a faint smile.

After eating and drinking his fill, Gong Jue stood up and stared at Gu Qiqi. “Wait for me to come back.”

Gu Qiqi knew that he was about to set off again.

She also understood that this return was probably a trip he had specially squeezed out of his limited and urgent schedule to make for her.

Originally, he did not have to come back.

At the thought of this, her nose felt a little sour.

This man had indeed put in a lot of effort for her.

He treated her with sincerity, so how could she keep deceiving him like this?

She walked him to the door.

In the end, she still mustered her courage and held his hand. “Gong Jue, can you give me another minute? I want to confess to you about that matter…”

Gong Jue’s body stiffened.

After a moment of silence, he turned around and said in a low voice, “I’m going to the battlefield. I can’t be bothered to listen to those nagging words!”

Gu Qiqi sweated. “That… It’s not that I’m being wishy-washy, but I think I should let you know the truth…”

Gong Jue interrupted her. “I don’t have time to listen! Stay at home and revise for the final exam!”

This time, Gu Qiqi really mustered her courage and insisted, “Gong Jue, listen to me. Four years ago, I…”

This time, Gong Jue interrupted her even more urgently. “I’m leaving! What four or five years ago? How big of a deal can four or five years be? You don’t have to tell me these things in the future. I don’t care!”

Gu Qiqi was speechless.
