Just then, Apple said, “Daddy, I want to have an ice-cream.”

Gu Jingyan replied from the back, “No, Apple, you already had one just now. If you have another one, you’ll get a tummy ache.”

Apple looked and pouted. “I just want a bite…”

“Not even one bite. No,” Gu Jingyan insisted.

When Apple knew she would not have her way with mommy, she turned to daddy.

“Daddy, Daddy, can you buy one for me… Mummy’s too petty. She won’t buy me anything.”

Lu Beichen looked at Gu Jingyan and did not dare to provoke her.

But Apple was too clingy.

“Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, aren’t we a team? Are you on a team with Mommy now? Boohoo, nobody loves me. You guys are a team.”

Lu Beichen’s heart softened.

“Okay, okay. Daddy will buy it for you.”

Gu Jingyan fumed. How could this Lu Beichen not have any principles?

And he even brought the child here to go against her.

“No.” Gu Jingyan said quickly, “No, Lu Beichen. She really can’t eat anymore.”

Lu Beichen carried Apple in one arm. “Alright, it’s just one. What could happen?”

“Of course not. If this happens once, it’ll happen again. Are you prepared to follow everything she says?”

Lu Beichen also knew that, but he had already promised Apple.

“So what if I follow everything she says? She’s my daughter. Even if she relies on me her whole life, I can afford it.”

“You…”

When Lu Beichen finished his sentence, he happily walked off alone with the child to get some ice-cream.

Gu Jingyan stood there in rage. “Fine, fine. You guys buy it. You guys are a team. Don’t come looking for me.”

Apple stuck her tongue out at Lu Beichen. “Oh no, we’re dead. Mommy is angry.”

Lu Beichen sighed. “You even know that. It’s all because of you. You must help Daddy to make Mommy happy again later.”

“Okay…”

Apple went to buy the ice cream.

Lu Beichen was thinking about ways to soothe Gu Jingyan.

This woman was not easy to appease when she was angry. She was very stubborn.

He looked back. Gu Jingyan had indeed not followed them.

It seemed that she was genuinely angry.

Just as he was sighing, unexpectedly when he turned around…

Apple was gone.

Lu Beichen was shocked.

“Apple?”

“Apple?”

He looked everywhere but did not find Apple.

He panicked.

He immediately called for her and turned around to search.

There were many people at Disney, and he could only see people’s heads.

He stood in the center and called out for her, but he did not see Apple’s traces.

He quickly stopped and made a call.

“Quick, get someone to Disney.”

Thinking about not being able to find Apple…

He had the intention of beating himself to death.

However, at that moment, there was no time to think about anything else. What mattered most was to find Apple!

He stood alone at the big square.

Looking at the people around him, he felt despair for the first time.

Just then…

Gu Jingyan arrived.

She saw only Lu Beichen standing foolishly in the center, looking all around.

But there was no sign of Apple.

Gu Jingyan’s heart sank.

“Where’s Apple?”

Upon hearing Gu Jingyan’s voice, Lu Beichen came to his senses a little.

He looked at Gu Jingyan with dull eyes.

Gu Jingyan grabbed Lu Beichen like a mad person. “I’m asking you, where’s Apple?!”

As Gu Jingyan shook him, he could see the agony on her face. He was so afraid that he quickly hugged her. “Don’t worry, don’t worry. I got someone to search for her. Someone will come immediately to search. Apple isn’t lost. She isn’t.”

In a moment, the whole of Disney began searching.

The event activated numerous police forces and people. They even made some announcements. Little friend, Apple, your parents are waiting for you at a particular place.

But how could Gu Jingyan stay calm?

Which mother would be calm upon losing her child?

Lu Beichen hugged her. After being in a frozen state for a while, she suddenly thought of something and pushed Lu Beichen away. “Let me go and look for Apple.”

“Don’t.” Lu Beichen hugged Gu Jingyan with all his might. “Jingyan, it’s all my fault. Yes, all my fault. I’ll go and look. You stay here, don’t scare me.”

Gu Jingyan turned around and slapped Lu Beichen on the face. “What kind of father are you? Why didn’t you take good care of Apple?”

This time, Lu Beichen admitted to it.

It was his fault. It was his bad.

He lowered his head but still held onto Gu Jingyan’s hands tightly.

“Jingyan, it’s my bad. I didn’t take good care of Apple. I promise that we will find Apple. If not, I’ll die with her.”

“Damn you. Nothing will happen to Apple!”

“Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing.”

He looked up at Gu Jingyan. “It’s my fault. All these years, I’ve never been a proper and competent father. It wasn’t even easy to take care of both of you, and now, I lost Apply. You can hit me all you want but don’t torture yourself.”

Gu Jingyan kept her head down.

She could be a strong female CEO on the outside, deal with countless situations, deal with the thousands of staff at the company, and even deal with opponents fiercely.

But as a mother, like all other mothers, she had no courage to face any problems with her child.

“What’s the use of saying all these now? Lu Beichen, you can’t turn back the clock. No matter how you try to make up for it, is there any use?”

“Yes, there’s no use.” Lu Beichen looked at her. “But I’m willing to use my whole life to make up, as long as you give me a chance. If not a day, not a year, then a lifetime. I don’t believe that it would be impossible. Gu Jingyan, I do have many wrongdoings, but there’s one thing I did right. And that is… even if I didn’t dare to admit my feelings for you, but I still won your hand in marriage.”

He held onto her hands firmly. “This matter is one I won’t regret forever. You’re my wife and will always be Lu Beichen’s wife. This label will never change in this life or the next life.”

Gu Jingyan’s heart was a little moved.

Just then…

“Daddy, Mommy.”

Apple’s voice came from behind them.

Beside her were two of Lu family’s bodyguards. One on the right and the other on the left protecting her.

The ice cream in her hand was gone.

Gu Jingyan quickly ran over upon seeing Apple.

She swept Apple up and looked at her. “Where did you go, Apple? You frightened Mommy.”

Apple raised her small hand. “I… I… I was afraid that Daddy wouldn’t let me have my ice cream if he wanted to make Mommy happy. So, I quickly ate it all up…”

“…”

Lu Beichen walked over and, together with Gu Jingyan, hugged Apple.

“Silly girl. How could that be? You’re number one in Daddy’s eyes. Your mommy is number two.”

Apple looked at and looked at her parents.

“I know.” She hugged Lu Beichen’s neck with one hand, and with the other hand, she hugged Gu Jingyan.

The two of them had no choice but to stay close to each other.
