Chapter 1173: Envious of her
“Tongtong, your hand.”
Yiyi exclaid in shock.
Heaven, her white clothes were instantly marked by Tongtong’s little handprints. Tongtong paused, then smiled ingratiatingly, “Mommy, Daddy.”
“Here you go, take the call.”
Yiyi handed over the phone. Since she had previously taught Tongtong how to answer calls, Tongtong took the phone and picked up the call, cheerily shouting into it, “Daddy!”
“Tongtong, pass the phone to Mommy, let Mommy listen.”
On the other end of the line, Gu Kai’s voice ca through gently. Tongtong imdiately handed the phone to Yiyi, “Mommy, phone call.”
Yiyi put the phone to her ear, greeted with a “Hello”, and heard Gu Kai say, “I’m downstairs. I won’t be coming up. Co down with Tongtong, will you?”
Outside the car window, Fang Zhiwei stood there, her gaze sowhat infatuated as she watched Gu Kai in the driver’s seat. With each glance, she realized her love for him had seeped deep into her bones.
After seeing him last night, she dreamt of him all night.
Early today, she drove to the Gu Family’s, waiting not far from his house.
Now, watching him on the phone, seeing that gentle smile on his face, Fang Zhiwei felt as if her heart was being pricked with needles.
Gu Kai opened the car door to step out, facing Fang Zhiwei’s complex gaze, his eyes flickered. He hesitated, then asked indifferently, “Are you doing okay?”
“Not good.”
Fang Zhiwei’s answer caused Gu Kai’s brows to furrow slightly.
In her eyes was an unmistakable infatuation, her gaze fixed on him, she asked softly, “Ah Kai, do you like Yiyi?”
“Why would you think that? I’m here to pick up Tongtong. As for Bai Yiyi, she’s just Tongtong’s mother.”
Gu Kai didn’t think twice before denying Fang Zhiwei’s conjecture. With one arm resting on the car, his tall figure leaned lightly against it, his eyes calmly watching Fang Zhiwei, “Zhi Wei, our breakup wasn’t because of anyone else. Don’t overthink it.”
“Is it because you don’t like ?”
Fang Zhiwei managed a bitter smile, “Ah Kai, I thought, even if your feelings for were not as deeply engraved as Mo Xiuchen’s for Ranran, at least, you liked . Weren’t we happy together, why did you suddenly decide to break up?”
“That was my fault.”
Gu Kai’s brows knitted slightly, his tone cool.
He shouldn’t have gotten involved with Fang Zhiwei in the first place. Having involved himself and then not wanting her, Gu Kai indeed felt a twinge of guilt.
“I don’t bla you. Since you went abroad, I’ve been searching for the reason. Why did you suddenly want to split up with ? Was it sothing I did that made you unsatisfied? Later on, I started thinking, maybe it was because I proposed to you, and my dad asked you about marrying …”
Gu Kai’s eyes subtly changed, his thin lips pressed tightly, saying nothing.
He brought up the breakup indeed largely because her and her father were putting too much pressure on him, it made him feel suffocated.
But most importantly, it was because he didn’t like Fang Zhiwei.
“Ah Kai, if I had never brought up marriage, if I had just stayed by your side as your girlfriend, would you have not broken up with ?”
Fang Zhiwei hesitantly voiced the doubts she had harbored for months.
Gu Kai was taken aback by her question. Just then, Yiyi ca out of the residential compound with Tongtong in tow, walking to the gate. Tongtong, from afar, imdiately recognized Gu Kai standing in front of the car, a clear and sweet, yet soft, “Daddy” echoed from a distance.
Fang Zhiwei’s desired answer was left unresolved.
“Tongtong, slow down.”
Gu Kai turned his head and saw Tongtong releasing Bai Yiyi’s hand, running towards him like a joyful little bird. He smiled broadly and stepped forward to et her.
When Bai Yiyi saw Fang Zhiwei, she was a bit surprised. Their eyes t, and they nodded to each other with a smile as a greeting.
“Daddy, daddy.”
Tongtong hugged Gu Kai’s neck, and as he lifted her, her laughter rang out like a string of silver bells when he raised her high, her bright eyes squinting with joy.
“Miss Fang, sorry for making you co to pick up Tongtong early in the morning. This little girl has missed her dad so much, she was like crazy after seeing him last night.”
Bai Yiyi took a glance at Gu Kai, who was lifting Tongtong above his head, and explained to Fang Zhiwei.
Fang Zhiwei’s eyes flickered with a hint of awkwardness.
Before, when Gu Kai was not abroad, these people didn’t know they had broken up. She could pretend to still be with Gu Kai, claiming his absence was just due to him being overseas.
But now, Gu Kai was right beside her, and just a second ago, she had been asking Gu Kai for the reason. Now, she didn’t know how to respond to Bai Yiyi’s words.
Gu Kai just glanced in their direction and then started asking Tongtong whether she had eaten or other such questions.
“It’s been so long since I’ve seen Tongtong, she’s getting prettier and cuter. No wonder Ah Kai ca so early in the morning without having breakfast. He drove so fast on the way here, I was left far behind.”
Fang Zhiwei watched the warm interaction between Gu Kai and Tongtong with a smile. If only Tongtong were her and Ah Kai’s child, that would be wonderful.
Suddenly, she envied Bai Yiyi a lot.
They were caught up in grudges from the past generation, yet she was fortunate enough to et Gu Kai; even if it was just for a one-night stand, having Tongtong as a pretty, cute, and clever daughter was a blessing.
“Have you not had breakfast yet?”
Upon hearing Fang Zhiwei’s words, Bai Yiyi showed a hint of apology on her face, “I’m sorry, it’s all because of Tongtong, this little imp.”
“It’s okay, I’m not very hungry,” said Fang Zhiwei, stepping forward and clapping her hands lightly, cheerfully speaking, “Tongtong, do you rember aunty?”
Tongtong, her hands pinching Gu Kai’s face, was having fun playing with her dad. She looked over at Fang Zhiwei when she heard her, then turned back and said, “Daddy, the car.”
Fang Zhiwei hadn’t seen Tongtong for a long ti. How could Tongtong recognize her?
Gu Kai looked at Fang Zhiwei and said with a smile, “Tongtong, this is Auntie Fang, say ‘auntie'”.
“Auntie.”
Tongtong’s childish voice called out, her smile incredibly adorable.
“Ah, Tongtong is so obedient. Would you like Aunty to hold you and sit in the car?”
Fang Zhiwei eagerly responded crisply and reached out to hold Tongtong. Tongtong giggled, and like startled, imdiately wrapped her arms around Gu Kai’s neck, her legs rubbing against his body.
“Tongtong, behave yourself.”
Bai Yiyi looked on with wide eyes. This little girl was acting like a wild child.
Gu Kai laughed heartily, holding Tongtong as he walked back to the car, opened the door, and placed her in the passenger seat, “Tongtong, let Mommy sit with you.”
As soon as Tongtong settled in the car, she turned around, reached out, and while trying to grab the steering wheel, she called out, “Drive, the car!”
