The little fellow was still wearing the same red t-shirt Gu Nianshen had seen him in. Moreover, he had on a pair of light-colored jeans, white flip flops, and a white cap.
The child was also carrying a little black backpack over his shoulders that had a large pink Peppa Pig printed on the front.
His eyes seemed to glow as brightly as the stars and the moon in the sky.
Had this little fellow not gone home with his irresponsible mother? Why was he here in Gu Nianshenâs house?
Besides, it was already late in the evening.
Gu Nianshen glanced at his watch to find that it was already past nine oâclock.
After walking halfway down the stairs, Aunt Zhou turned her head around to discover that Gu Nianshen had not moved at all. âNianshen, why arenât you coming down?â She asked curiously.
When Lin Xiaoyu heard the old ladyâs voice, he finally looked up to the second floor.
âDaddy!â He exclaimed excitedly as soon as he saw Gu Nianshen.
Gu Nianshen suddenly felt lost when he heard how Xiaoyu had called him âDaddyâ so gently.
All of a sudden, the image of the lady with the mask appeared in his mind. He immediately shook his head to try to get rid of the thought.
By then, the little fellow had already made his way to the bottom of the staircase and was making his way up.
Using his tiny hands to hold onto the guardrail, he was walking up the stairs very quickly.
Just as he was about to walk past Aunt Zhou, she bent over to pick him up and proceeded to bring him upstairs.
As Aunt Zhou walked, she chuckled and looked at Gu Nianshen. âThis kid addresses you as his father in such an affectionate way. You two look quite alike too. If I hadnât known better, I might have thought that he was your biological son.â
Gu Nianshen glanced annoyedly at Lin Xiaoyu before replying to Aunt Zhou. âI think there must be something wrong with your eyes. Iâll make sure to get Dr. Wang to check on you one of these days.â
Then, he turned to look at Lin Xiaoyu.
âWho has brought you here?â Gu Nianshen asked coldly.
âUncle Bai Se said that I could come to your house and stay with Mommy Lin for a few days as he needs to go to America for work.â
As Xiaoyu spoke, he began walking closer to Gu Nianshen before extending his plump arms and hugging Gu Nianshenâs leg.
He was trying to suck up to Gu Nianshen.
Meanwhile, Gu Nianshen felt confused.
How was Gu Nianshenâs home perceived?
Not only did it appear to be a hotel, but Gu Nianshenâs wife was also being treated as the childâs nanny.
With his darkened facial expression, Gu Nianshen lifted his leg and shrugged the little fellow off after taking a few steps forward.
âGet out of my house now. You will never be allowed in this house again!â Gu Nianshen looked at Xiaoyu sternly as he spoke.
After issuing the warning, Gu Nianshen did not wait for the little fellowâs reaction as he began walking back to his room.
Once he had arrived by the door, he suddenly felt curious as to why not a single sound was being made.
Based on his past experience, the little jerk would have started crying out loudly by now.
After Gu Nianshen stopped walking, he turned his head around.
The little fellow had put his bag down and was kneeling down as he dug for something in his backpack.
There were items of food, toys, and even a smartwatch.
Gu Nianshen frowned confusedly as he wondered what the child was up to.
âThese are the gifts I have brought for you.â
Whilst Gu Nianshen pondered, Lin Xiaoyu suddenly picked up two lollipops and a bag of biscuits before jogging over to Gu Nianshen.
With his head lifted, Xiaoyu raised both his hands to look at Gu Nianshen innocently.
When Gu Nianshen looked down, he noticed a colorful square packet in Xiaoyuâs right hand. Seeing the words âmore exciting loveâ printed on the packet, Gu Nianshenâs facial expression immediately turned gloomy.
Meanwhile, Xiaoyu was naive enough to think that Gu Nianshen was actually fond of the small packet he had brought. âThis is something Uncle Bai Se and I have picked up at the counter when we went shopping at the mall. Many uncles have purchased it too. Uncle Bai Se said that it might be of use to you.â
âI donât need it!â Gu Nianshen snapped as the veins on his forehead became visible whilst his hands had crumpled into fists.
