Chapter 4013: A Perfect Match (209)
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ accompanied Yueyao the most. Even though she was a little strict with the child and was the one who played the bad cop the most, Yueyao was still the closest to her, making many people jealous.
Hua Jin said at once, “Uncle will take you out to the yard to play, would you like that?”
Yueyao immediately stretched out her tiny arms upon hearing that. Many of the guests had come with their children. At this point, they were all playing in the courtyard. Yueyao was tired from unwrapping the gifts and had gradually lost interest. Hence, she wanted to go to the courtyard to play.
Hua Jin was about to carry her when Gong Jie squatted down and teased Yueyao, “Uncle will carry you, okay?”
Yueyao looked at Hua Jin, then at Gong Jie, and threw herself into Hua Jin’s arms. Gong Jie was dumbstruck. He was shocked!
Yueyao had not chosen him! What happened to his ranking being higher than Hua Jin’s? How did this little girl change her att.i.tude so quickly?
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ burst out laughing. She leaned towards her brother and whispered into his ear, “Some time ago, Hua Jin bought Yueyao her favorite dolls from the Frozen series.”
Gong Jie’s expression darkened further.
Wasn’t it just two dolls? What was the big deal?
Seeing that Yueyao had thrown herself at him, Hua Jin felt a sense of accomplishment. While he felt comforted, he was also a little worried.
...
A petty man like Gong Jie, would he… hold a grudge?
Whatever!
In any case, he’d never seen eye to eye with that man. Adding this to the list wouldn’t make a big difference. Hua Jin carried Yueyao and headed out to the courtyard.
……
The courtyard had been turned into a small garden by Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+. The flowerbeds were filled with Chinese roses. There were also swings, seesaws, musical fountains… The courtyard was huge. Because it was a garden villa, the courtyard alone took up more than a thousand square meters.
The children were playing hide-and-seek. Yueyao wanted to join them. Hua Jin, on the other hand, was worried that the game required hiding and running around. If the little princess should accidentally trip and fall, leaving even faint scars on her flawless body, Mu Yazhe and Gong Jie would definitely kill him. Hence, he tried to coax her out of it. Fortunately, she was easy to convince. He got her to sit on the swing and he then gently pushed her from behind.
Standing in the doorway to the balcony, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ watched them, feeling gratified. Turning around, she saw her brother staring back at the swing, lost in thought. “Been busy?” she asked with a smile.
“I went back to the Gong family residence for a bit.”
Then man paused, then said casually, “He wishes to see you.”
The smile froze on her lips when she heard this.
He?
Without the need to ask, she knew that “he” was probably referring to Gong Shaoying.
It was too sudden. She didn’t expect Gong Shaoying to take the initiative in asking to meet her.
“Isn’t he no longer at the Gong family residence?”
“He came home.” Gong Jie added, “Of course, if you don’t wish to see him, I shall not reply to him.”
“Okay.” Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+’s tone was suddenly cool. “The fact is, I would like to see him, too. It would be the first and last time we see each other as father and daughter.”
Rather than calling this a meeting, it was a negotiation. It was time to settle old scores. She wouldn’t want the man in her life ever again, after that. It was time to end everything!
Turning around, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and lowered her voice. “Make an appointment for me! Just me and him. No one else, including you.”
