Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Chapter 3: The Youngest Daughter Looks for Her Dad

What? Gugu called Wu Tian ’Daddy’?

A wave of shock washed over the private room. Although the little girl’s pronunciation wasn’t clear due to her young age, everyone understood what she said.

"Gugu, don’t talk nonsense," Qin Yuhan said sternly, the first to recover.

Gugu’s eyes widened in confusion. "But Mommy, the man on your phone is Daddy, and Daddy is still sleeping under the covers."

What?

If her first word was a shock, this was a bolt from the blue.

Qin Zhengyang’s expression turned serious. He looked at Qin Yuhan and asked, "Daughter, what exactly is going on?"

"It’s nothing." Qin Yuhan’s thoughts were a whirlwind, and her breathing grew ragged.

Wu Tian was also surprised and looked at Qin Yuhan. He wasn’t sure when the phrase ’billowing waves’ had stopped being associated with the sea. Staring at her chest, he grew thoughtful. It seemed familiar, like a place he had seen before. His mind was clear, free of any vile thoughts; it was just a genuine feeling of recognition, nothing more.

"Mommy, Daddy..." Gugu’s adorable eyes started to well up with tears.

As the CEO of the Qin Corporation, Qin Yuhan was rarely at home, so Gugu was usually looked after by a nanny. It’s safe to say that the four-year-old had watched her fair share of TV, from spy thrillers and martial arts epics to countless family dramas. At this moment, only one thought filled her head. Mommy and Daddy are fighting! They’re not going to be together anymore, and I’ll become an orphan!

That can’t happen. Absolutely not. I want my daddy!

Her little fists clenched as she tried with all her might to squeeze out some tears.

"Don’t cry." Seeing her like this, Wu Tian couldn’t help but sigh. He hadn’t paid close attention before, but looking at Gugu carefully now, he could truly feel the connection in their blood—a connection even more certain than a DNA test.

"You are my child."

The private room fell utterly silent.

This was a development that Qin Zhengyang, Qin Zhengxin and his wife, and Murong Yezi had never even dreamed of. This was especially true for Murong Yezi, who just last night had been fretting over her son’s perpetually single status. Then, by a stroke of luck, Qin Zhengyang had found her contact information. Murong Yezi had thought herself blessed just to see her single-for-life son finally paired up. She never expected it would be a buy-one-get-one-free deal; now she had a granddaughter too.

...Murong Yezi was dumbfounded.

"Is this true?" Qin Zhengyang asked urgently.

Four years ago, when his daughter had suddenly become pregnant, Qin Zhengyang had been furious. He had mobilized the full power of the Qin Corporation to find the man responsible, but Qin Yuhan had used her authority as CEO to obstruct his efforts, making the search impossible. He never expected that the flower he’d carefully tried to cultivate would fail to bloom, while the willow branch planted by chance had grown into a lush tree.

"Wow!" The little girl in Qin Yuhan’s arms began to dance with joy, kicking her legs and waving her arms. Daddy is amazing! He recognized I was his adorable daughter at a single glance!

"Why don’t we get a test?" Qin Zhengyang suggested.

"No. I admit it. The child is his," Qin Yuhan said, biting her red lip. She knew that at this point, denial was futile. This secret was bound to come out sooner or later.

Qin Zhengyang and Murong Yezi exchanged a glance, both seeing the amused delight in the other’s eyes.

"Mommy, Daddy," Gugu chirped happily, completely ignoring her favorite pork ribs on the table. She was overjoyed. I, Gugu, am a real detective! I found Daddy in no time!

"I have matters to attend to at the corporation, so I’ll be leaving first." Faced with Wu Tian’s ambiguous gaze and Murong Yezi’s look of sizing up a daughter-in-law, Qin Yuhan felt her defenses crumbling. She handed her daughter over to Qin Zhengyang, rose from her seat, and prepared to leave. Before she went, she shot a glance at Wu Tian. I’ll show you just how wide the gap between us is. If you can’t cross that gap, then we... we’re impossible! Hmph!
