Gu Jingrui's sudden call of "Dad" made Baili's heart race uncontrollably. He paused for a moment, before nodding his head with a face full of complexity.
Why does this kid feel so scheming? Why does it seem like he's been calculated somehow? He's such a charming presence, but why does he also seem a little unruly?
"Wasn't that you back then?"
Baili glanced back at He Rong, originally wanting to share a sense of connection about being tricked out of their beloved daughter, but was immediately countered by his wife's playful lip-smile.
Alright, he thought to himself, maybe he was like this back in his youth as well. Seems like birds of a feather flock together. With this thought, Baili could only shake his head and smile bitterly, reluctantly letting go of his feelings about losing his precious daughter.
At that moment, Gu Jingrui's phone rang.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
