"Yes, she’s my daughter. She’s my treasure." Guli Weilieng still held onto a glimmer of hope. Could she be adopted?
If so, she wouldn’t mind at all; she liked children too. However, Wu Tian’s next words struck her like a bolt from the blue. Her body trembled, and she staggered back as if she had suffered a massive blow.
Wu Tian’s expression was impassive. It wasn’t that he was heartless, but after weathering the endless storms of the Immortal Emperor Realm, he had learned to view everything with detachment. Very few things could stir his heart.
"Mommy, Mommy, don’t be sad! Don’t you like Gugu?" The kind-hearted little girl immediately opened her arms to Guli Weilieng and said, "Hugs."
"This..." Guli Weilieng hesitated.
"Waaah... Gugu knew it! I’m not cute! Mommy doesn’t like me anymore!" The little girl pouted, her adorable face filled with misery as if she was about to burst into tears.
"No, no, no, you’re very cute."
The little girl’s charm was unique. She was young but countless times more clever than other children her age. Who could possibly refuse such an adorable child? Guli Weilieng hesitantly reached out and pulled the little girl into her embrace.
Only then did the little girl giggle, her face showing the triumphant expression of a successful schemer. But the more she acted this way, the cuter she became.
"Mommy, don’t be sad anymore. You can eat with me," the little girl said, then turned her large eyes toward Wu Tian. "Papa, I know you bought snacks."
Wu Tian smiled. He had discovered that his daughter possessed a special talent: she was exceptionally good at finding things!
He had bought snacks and actually hidden them, but his daughter still found out. Wu Tian took out the snacks: fancy egg tarts. These were fancier than ordinary egg tarts. For example, they came in different shapes, and some were topped with various fruits. Wu Tian had bought the fruit-topped variety.
"Look, this is mango, this is apple, this is blueberry, this is pear..." As Wu Tian opened the box, the little girl pointed to each egg tart and named the fruit. Finally, she reached out with both hands and grabbed two of the mango tarts.
"Mommy, this one’s for you, and this one’s for me!"
With that, she took a huge bite out of one of the tarts, finishing nearly half of it in one go. Her face beamed with joy, her little cheeks puffed out. Before even swallowing, she held the other tart up to Guli Weilieng’s mouth and mumbled, her words muffled, "Mommy... eat..."
Seeing this, Guli Weilieng smiled and took a bite as well.
"Is it yummy?" the little girl asked.
"Delicious," Guli Weilieng nodded.
They were from the best snack shop in the neighborhood, baked fresh to order. Wu Tian had even supervised the process and offered some suggestions. The pastry chef himself couldn’t believe he had managed to create such delicious egg tarts. The tarts exuded a fragrance of milk, egg, and fruit. Instead of clashing, the three aromas blended together perfectly.
The pastry chef was so impressed he wanted to ask Wu Tian to be his master. But Wu Tian, anxious to get back to his daughter, declined, took the tarts, and left.
After finishing the egg tarts, Guli Weilieng knew it was time to leave. She placed the little girl back into Wu Tian’s arms and said, "Your daughter is very cute."
Wu Tian was about to speak, but the little girl beat him to it. "I’m your daughter too, Mommy."
Guli Weilieng sighed, gave the little girl a smile without saying anything more, and drove off in her Range Rover.
The little girl in Wu Tian’s arms suddenly looked very serious.
"What’s wrong, baby?" Wu Tian asked.
"She’s hard to win over," the little girl said with a serious expression.
"..."
After saying goodbye to Lin Mo, Wu Tian took the little girl home. Qin Yuhan and Murong Yezi were waiting anxiously, only relaxing when they saw that he was unharmed.
"That’s a real shame," Qin Yuhan sighed. If only Wu Tian could have met the incredible person who took care of Zhao Zhengyi and Hao Ming.
"Alright," Wu Tian nodded. The little one has probably heard stories like Snow White already. I need to tell her something different.
