Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 342

Chapter 342 Do You Want to Pester Me?

Fang Yaru finally saw Du Niannian. She was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She hugged Niannian in her arms. “Niannian, I am your Grandma. Good girl, call me Grandma.”

Du Niannian turned her head to look at Du Xiaoxian. Seeing Du Xiaoxian nod, she called out, “Grandma!”

“Ah, what a good girl!” Fang Yaru kissed her hard on the face, then pointed at Gu Shanshan and said, “This is your auntie, quickly call her auntie!”

Gu Shanshan pursed her lips with tears in her eyes. She also looked very excited. She reached out to Du Niannian. “Niannian, come to me and let me have a good look at you.”

Du Niannian was very unfamiliar with the term ‘auntie’. She tilted her head to look at Gu Shanshan and asked Du Xiaoxian, “What does auntie mean?”

Fang Yaru hurriedly answered, “Auntie is your dad’s sister. Hurry up and call her auntie.”

Du Niannian obediently called “auntie” and asked, “What about my dad?” She remembered that Lu Haochen said that her real father was back. Where was he?

There was only one man in the room. He stood by the window and never looked back. His tall back was against the blue sky and white clouds outside. In the eyes of the little girl, his figure carried a kind of majesty that needed to be looked up to.

Was it him?

“Nianbin, what’s wrong with you? Niannian is calling you dad!” Fang Yaru shouted at Gu Nianbin in dissatisfaction.

Gu Nianbin turned around and indifferently glanced at Du Niannian.

The little girl immediately widened her eyes. She recognized this man. That day at the entrance of the kindergarten, he stopped her and her mother. It was she who pushed him away with all her might, and only then did she and her mother escape. Could it be that this bad person was her father?

She slowly retreated until she was next to Du Xiaoxian. She whispered, “Mom, he is a bad guy. I don’t like him to be my father.”

Du Xiaoxian squatted down and said with a smile, “Niannian, he is not a bad person. Call him dad.”

Gu Shanshan went to pull Gu Nianbin over. “Brother, you should smile. You are scaring the child. How dare she call you?” Then she said to Du Niannian, “Be good, quickly call him dad. He really is your dad.”

Du Niannian had never been timid in face of strangers, but she was a little reserved in front of Gu Nianbin. She called out timidly, “Dad.”

Gu Nianbin was still expressionless. He glanced at Du Niannian indifferently and replied with a “hmm”.

Fang Yaru was very dissatisfied with his attitude. She patted him heavily. “Go out and smoke. Don’t ruin the atmosphere here. Seriously, when a child calls you, you didn’t even smile!”

Gu Nianbin didn’t seem to want to stay here either. After hearing this, he really walked out.

Du Niannian watched him striding out and felt a little wronged. She pouted and asked Du Xiaoxian, “Mom, does Dad not like me?”

“How could that be?” Fang Yaru quickly said, “Dad likes you a lot. He just doesn’t like to talk or laugh. He’s also very shy. Let’s not lower ourselves to his level, okay?”

Du Niannian nodded. In comparison, she liked Lu Haochen to be her father, but there was no other way. In the matter of choosing who to be her father, only her mother had the right.

Fang Yaru put Du Niannian on her lap, smiling and talking to the little girl. She kissed Du Niannian’s little face from time to time. Her biological granddaughter finally returned to her side. She loved Du Niannian so much that she didn’t want Du Niannian to leave her sight at all.

Gu Shanshan spoke to Du Xiaoxian, “Xiaoxian, do you remember what I told you yesterday? He has a stubborn temper and you can only coax him slowly. You have to be more patient with him. Anyway, you should know that he has you in his heart.”

Du Xiaoxian nodded and said softly, “I know. I will go out to see him.”

“That’s right.” Gu Shanshan encouraged her. “Go.”

Du Xiaoxian went out of the room and saw that Gu Nianbin was standing in the corridor and smoking. He was hidden in the dark, so she could not see the expression on his face clearly. Gray smoke surrounded him, making him look more and more secretive.

Du Xiaoxian bit her lips and slowly walked over. “Brother.”

“I am not your brother.”

“Nianbin.”

“Is our relationship that good?”

“Gu Nianbin.”

“How dare you call me Gu Nianbin?”

Du Xiaoxian met with several rebuffs in a row and was somewhat at a loss. In the end, she said timidly, “Young Master.”

Gu Nianbin finally stopped refuting her, but he did not answer.

After Du Xiaoxian called out to him, she did not know what to say. After a moment of silence, she found a topic. “Back then, you didn’t get Xia family’s help. How did you manage to survive the crisis?”

Gu Nianbin snorted. “I never planned to rely on Xia family. It’s just that you didn’t believe me!”

Du Xiaoxian knew that it was too late to apologize now, but she still sincerely apologized, “Sorry, I was wrong.”

“No, you are not wrong.” Gu Nianbin slowly exhaled a mouthful of smoke. “Your departure enlightened me. In a relationship, if one’s love is not equal to the other’s, a breakup will be inevitable. I want to thank you for what you have done. It contributes to who I am now.”

“I,” she reached out and tried to touch him.

Gu Nianbin dodged in disgust. “Du Xiaoxian, don’t think that you can enter my Gu family just because you gave birth to my daughter. You are just the mother of the child and have nothing to do with me. You’d better figure out this fact first.”

Du Xiaoxian lowered her hand in frustration. Her voice was soft, but it carried a hint of persistence. “Young Master, I know you are angry. You should be angry with me. But this time, I will not give up again. No matter how you treat me, I, anyway…”

“Anyway what?” Gu Nianbin said coldly, “Don’t tell me you want to pester me.”

Du Xiaoxian blushed and nodded heavily.

Gu Nianbin snorted. “Shameless!” He strode over and threw the cigarette butt into the garbage bin.

“Let it be.” Du Xiaoxian looked at his back and thought to herself. “Our family of three can’t be separated no matter what!”

That night, Du Xiaoxian and Du Niannian also stayed in the hotel, preparing to fly back to G City the next morning.

Fang Yaru asked Du Niannian to sleep with her. When they woke up in the morning, Fang Yaru personally helped Du Niannian put on her clothes, braided her hair, and took her downstairs to have breakfast. Fang Yaru wanted to make up for all the missing love in the past few years.

Gu Shanshan shared a room with Du Xiaoxian. She was afraid that Du Xiaoxian would be timid and run away. She brainwashed Du Xiaoxian all night, telling the latter to treat Gu Nianbin better, take the initiative, and not to retreat at any time. Gu Shanshan told Du Xiaoxian that their whole family was firmly on her side, so that she could bravely move forward and win back Gu Nianbin’s heart in one fell swoop. And then they would make up for her with a grand wedding.

On the way back, although Gu Nianbin’s face was dark the whole time, the atmosphere was not very serious. It was the first time that Du Niannian had taken a plane, and she felt it was very fun. She asked Fang Yaru many questions. Gu Shanshan was also very talkative, laughing and bantering with her all the time. This created a happy and harmonious scene.

Looking at the smile on Du Niannian’s face, Du Xiaoxian was also very happy. She could see that Fang Yaru and Gu Shanshan really liked Du Niannian. Blood was really a wonderful thing. Because of the existence of this child, the insurmountable chasm in front of her and Gu Nianbin disappeared so easily.

There were no more obstacles, except… She turned back and secretly glanced at Gu Nianbin, who was resting with his eyes closed. There were shallow wrinkles between his eyebrows, showing a trace of coldness. She knew that she had broken his heart. From now on, she would make his heart warm up again.

When they got off the plane and had yet to leave the airport, Fang Yaru and Gu Shanshan quickly helped Du Niannian put on more clothes. In Yawan, they only wore one piece of clothing. But at this time, G City was already in autumn. Wearing only one piece of clothing was certainly not enough.

Knowing that Fang Yaru loved Du Niannian, Du Xiaoxian let them do it. She added a coat for herself. She turned around and saw that Gu Nianbin had put on a long coat at some point in time. He was pushing a luggage cart and striding toward them. He was tall and straight, and the hem of his clothes was raised in a beautiful arc. He looked even more imposing. Du Xiaoxian looked at him in a daze. However, Gu Nianbin did not even look at her. He only said to Fang Yaru, “Are you done? The car is waiting outside!”

“Alright, alright,” Fang Yaru carefully tidied up Du Niannian’s clothes and held her little hand. She smiled and said, “Let’s go. Let’s go home. Grandpa must be anxious!”

Du Niannian glanced at Gu Nianbin and asked Fang Yaru, “Will Grandpa like me?”

“Oh, my baby, how can Grandpa not like you?” Fang Yaru could not help but kiss her. “Grandpa will like you even more than I do! Let’s go!”

The grandma and grandchild walked out excitedly. Gu Shanshan followed closely. Gu Nianbin pushed the cart and walked behind. Du Xiaoxian took a few steps to catch up with Gu Nianbin. “Well, let me push it.”

She had thought that Gu Nianbin would ignore her, but she did not expect that he really handed the cart to her and strode forward.

Du Xiaoxian was actually a little happy because this meant that Gu Nianbin stopped ignoring her.

Gu Shanshan suddenly saw Gu Nianbin walking side by side with her. She looked back and saw that Du Xiaoxian’s thin body was almost blocked by the luggage cart. She complained to Gu Nianbin, “How do you bear to do it? In the past, you treated her like a treasure, but now you even let her do this.”

Gu Nianbin said indifferently, “Didn’t you all say that I was stupid in the past?”

Gu Shanshan glared at him. “Brother, why are you so mean now? Let me tell you, you should treat Xiaoxian better. Don’t anger her and drive her away. If you make Niannian lose her mother, Mom and Dad will kill you!”

Gu Nianbin smiled disdainfully. “She can find a father for Niannian, why can’t I find a mother for Niannian?”

“I really don’t understand you!” Gu Shanshan sighed. “Isn’t it good for a family of three to be together?”

“Not good. I don’t like that woman anymore. I feel unhappy when I see her!” Gu Nianbin said bluntly.

“Keep being so wayward. Let’s see what you can do!” Gu Shanshan didn’t want to talk to him and slowed down to help Du Xiaoxian push the cart.

“Xiaoxian,” Gu Shanshan lowered her voice. “You don’t have to be tolerant all the time. Otherwise, he will keep bullying you. Show some courage. My brother is just a paper tiger. Don’t be afraid of him!”

Du Xiaoxian heard “paper tiger” and chuckled. She nodded. “I see.”
