"Because I wanted my daddy so much, I prayed to God that as long as Dad came back, no matter how late, I would forgive him. I love my daddy," Ye Tuan Tuan explained earnestly.
Gu Yun Ting pressed his forehead against his daughter's. He truly didn't know what to say. Tears couldn't be controlled as they streamed down his face. They say a man doesn't shed tears easily, only when his heart is deeply pained. Now, Gu Yun Ting truly, truly wanted to cry.
"Tuan Tuan, Daddy loves you too. Daddy... will love you with his life," Gu Yun Ting vowed to treat this little one well for the rest of his life, to love her, pamper her, and cherish her with all his might.
In the car, Ye Tuan Tuan met and got acquainted with Jiang Jing Xiu and Jin Lan. The two immediately asked for her account details to transfer money. Even though Ye Tuan Tuan was somewhat money-minded, she still sought her father's opinion before accepting. Gu Yun Ting unceremoniously told her to take it.
Each of them transferred ten million yuan to Ye Tuan Tuan. Ye Tuan Tuan was so surprised her mouth wouldn't close. She hadn't expected to find her father and gain so much money.
"You two are too stingy!" Gu Yun Ting said with disdain, looking at them. He had just found his precious daughter, and they gave her only ten million?
"I'm a bit short on cash lately," Jin Lan chuckled awkwardly.
"My daughter is too costly. I need to save more for her dowry," Jiang Jing Xiu said with a smile, as he also had a daughter.
"I also have a daughter. You haven't met her yet. Prepare your red envelopes another day; you can't shortchange my daughter," Jin Lan added.
"Really! Jiang Yan is pregnant?" Jiang Jing Xiu asked excitedly.
"No, adopted," Jin Lan said, a hint of disappointment in his heart.
Jiang Jing Xiu really wanted to slap himself. He had really hit a sore spot. He quickly said, "Then no problem. I'll keep saving for my daughter's dowry; we can't skimp on our girl."
Gu Yun Ting also frowned, but he was currently immersed in the joy of having his daughter back. He hadn't put the child down since holding her.
Ye Tuan Tuan was also very curious about their daughters. The two introduced them, mentioning that the mothers of their children were good best friends with her own mother.
Ye Tuan Tuan finally understood. She said, "Can I play with my big sisters and little sisters too? I'm so bored playing by myself! Ye Yuan Yuan is such a little troublemaker; I can't get along with him!"
Hearing the name of Ye Wan's other child, Gu Yun Ting felt a pang of sadness. But thinking that his daughter was finally back, he shouldn't be so ungrateful. He should be happy. His daughter was alive.
"Who is Ye Yuan Yuan?" Jiang Jing Xiu, unaware of the situation, asked.
"My little brother. He's so naughty and troublesome. I feel like hitting him whenever I see him," Ye Tuan Tuan replied.
The two looked at Gu Yun Ting in shock. They noticed his reaction was rather calm, as if he had known about this child's existence for a long time, with no significant expression on his face.
This time, Jiang Jing Xiu was wiser. He didn't ask anything, only posing questions to Ye Tuan Tuan. Gu Yun Ting finally asked them to leave, as he wanted some private time with his daughter.
Jiang Jing Xiu and Jin Lan were dropped off halfway.
They stood on the road, bewildered by the wind, and finally had to take a taxi home.
Gu Yun Ting took Ye Tuan Tuan to the Gu residence. He lived there occasionally now, but he didn't return often. When he did, it was to see reminders of the past, which would sometimes break him.
Now that his daughter was back, he wanted her to live here, in this place where he and her mother had once been together.
