C226 (1/2)

When they arrived at the entrance of the residential complex, just as Chu Yu was about to carry Youzi and get off the car, Chu Jingnian turned around and called out to her, ”Chuchu …”

”I'm still thinking about it. Can you give me some time?” She subconsciously opened her mouth to look at him, but she didn't notice the slight resistance and estrangement in her tone.

”No, I want to say that you can call me to pick up Youzi at the nursery in the future, so she won't have to wait so long by herself.” Even though the one who spoke out was this question, after hearing Chu Yu's unconscious answer just now, the light in her eyes still dimmed.

But it didn't matter, Chu Yu needed time, he would just wait. After being protected for so many years, there would come a day when he could?

”Alright, then I'll go up first.” Slightly embarrassed, she nodded and turned to leave, but the child in her embrace was taken away by a pair of large hands.

”I'll send you up.” With regards to this place, Chu Jingnian had long since gotten used to it. Previously, when Youzi had a fever in the middle of the night, Chu Yu would call him whenever he had a choice, so he directly drove over to pick up Youzi and bring her to the hospital.

Looking at Chu Jingnian's back figure, Chu Yu did not say anything. She just silently followed behind him, and Youzi, who was in Chu Jingnian's arms, had obviously slept even more comfortably.

Just as Chu Jingnian was about to put the grapefruit carefully on the bed and leave, the little fellow opened its eyes as if it had a telepathy and suddenly started crying. While crying, it pulled the corner of Chu Jingnian's clothes and sobbed, ”Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! I want daddy to sleep with me …”

Chu Yu, who was listening in from the living room, quickly came in. He gently pulled away Youzi's hand and leaned over to comfort her: ”Good girl, dad still has work to do tomorrow. Mom will accompany you, okay?”

”No, I want father, I want father …” For some reason, the normally well-behaved and rational daughter was now extremely stubborn, she was crying profusely yet was not willing to give it up, she only grabbed onto the corner of Chu Jingnian's clothes.

Chu Yu sighed and looked at Chu Jingnian somewhat helplessly. This was the first time that Youzi had encountered such a situation, so she did not know what to do. She could only try her best to calm the emotions of her child.

”How about I stay here and wait for Youzi to sleep first. The hospital has nothing to do tomorrow anyway …” Chu Jingnian scratched his head, but his heart was filled with pity and pain from Youzi's crying.

”Forget it, you can sleep here tonight. Otherwise, who knows when Youzi will cry.” Chu Yu took a tissue to wipe the tears off the little fellow's face. Hearing Chu Yu's reply, Youzi cheered and laughed, affectionately hugging Chu Jingnian's neck and feeling extremely happy.

When Chu Yu went to take a bath, Youzi laid on Chu Jingnian's ear and whispered, ”Daddy, I was just dreaming, I dreamt that you didn't want me and Mommy anymore. I was afraid that you would leave and never come back.”

Youzi didn't dare to say these things to her mother. Every time she mentioned her father, there was something wrong with the look on her face, so she could only share this little secret with her father.

”No, Daddy will never leave you and Mommy.” As he tightly embraced Youzi in his embrace, Chu Jingnian's eyes were actually somewhat moist.

It was painful for such a young child to say such words, and Youzi was originally a sensitive child. He only hoped that in the future, he could completely make up for the time when Youzi lost her fatherly love. If only Chuchu could promise him that, then the family of three would be the happiest in the world.

On the second day, Chu Jingnian woke up and left.
