Chapter 487 - Chu Xiang (2/2)

Song Wan sat in front of Chu Lui with the child still in her arms. Xiang Xiang turned away, refusing to look at Chu Lui even for a second.

”Where did she come from?” Chu Lui wrinkled his eyebrows, but he vaguely understood at the bottom of his heart.

”The orphanage. I chose for a long time before I came across a child with such affinity. You don't know, but she was pulling my hand and calling me Granny. Isn't it such an affinity?” Song Wan was rather delighted. She was very satisfied with the child she had picked herself. She was going to be the Chu family's child in the future.

Chu Lui's eyes lowered, and the child in Song Wan's arms averted her eyes, seemingly because of Chu Lui's gaze. She bit softly on her tiny lip.

”Come, Xiang Xiang, day 'Daddy'. He's going to be your daddy from now on. He'll treat you well like how Granny does.” Song Wan squeezed the little girl's hand and murmured.

The little girl shrunk deeper into Song Wan's arms and then took a surreptitious peek at Chu Lui.

”Daddy…” she spoke in a small voice.

Chu Lui was expressionless. He didn't feel anything. It wasn't his own blood, so there was bound to be a limited bond. Even though he obviously knew he would never have a child with his own blood, he wasn't used to the term 'Daddy'; and he didn't like it either.

Don't blame him for being cold and heartless. His personality was like this in nature.

”Mom, I'm heading up first.” He stood up and walked towards his room upstairs. He wouldn't oppose Song Wan's adoption of a child as long as his parents liked it. He wouldn't object, but he wasn't that fond of the child Song Wan had brought back home.

He entered his room, feeling a wave of headache wash over him instantly.

Why did his room become like this?

The floor was scattered with cloth dolls and strewn with toys. His bed—it was filled with bags of snacks. He was a clean freak, and what he couldn't stand most was other people making a mess of things in his bedroom. Otherwise, everything else was fine. In particular, his bed must be especially void of other stuff.

The door opened with a whoosh, and he dashed out to shout.

”Aunty Jiang!”

A while later, the housekeeper at Chu Lui's house came over. She also got a shock when she took a look at Chu Lui's room. She knew very well how Chu Lui was. She recalled cleaning his room thoroughly this morning and even changed to new bed sheets and such, as well as checked the corners carefully out of worry. Yet, what was going on? Why was the room so messy now?

”Aunty Jiang, please help me tidy this up.” The mess here made Chu Lui's head throb.

”Oh, okay.” The housekeeper took her broom and equipment and kept all the toys, not daring to even pause. In fact, it didn't take a genius to know who created this mess. There weren't many people here, and they all knew Chu Lui's habit and personality. They wouldn't throw random things inside his room. Today, Song Wan had brought Xiang Xiang back. It must have been her.

Chu Lui didn't have anywhere to go so he could only go to the study room and daze.

He wiped his forehead with his hand. He was feeling annoyed and uncomfortable, and his shoulders throbbed with pain from time to time.

The door opened from the outside, and a small figure walked in.

”Daddy…” A small voice rang, belonging to that of a child, weak and fragile.
