The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend
Chapter 437: Gu Yuan: I Agree to the Divorce
Both father and daughter just did a simple dressing up today. With their amazing looks, no matter how simple, they’d still look fine.
When Quan Jin came out with Suisui in his arms.
The passing servants greeted Quan Jin one by one.
At first, Quan Jin’s expression was as usual, but when two passing servants only greeted him and not Suisui in his arms, his face darkened. Before a third servant could greet him, he said, "This is my daughter."
The servants, somewhat afraid of Quan Jin’s unpredictability, were momentarily stunned.
Quan Jin, obviously displeased, cleared his throat and repeated, "This is my daughter!"
In a very solemn tone, he also conveyed the importance of the matter.
The servants hurriedly nodded and bowed, "Hello, Young Master Quan, hello, Little Miss."
Quan Jin said, "Put my daughter’s title before mine."
What a hassle.
The servant could only face Quan Jin’s deep, cold eyes and repeat as ordered, "Hello, Little Miss, hello, Young Master Quan."
Quan Jin was satisfied this time and curved his lips slightly, "That’s more like it."
He asked the little girl in his arms, "Remember, from now on, you are the most precious little miss of the Quan Family, and you are my Quan Jin’s precious jewel."
Suisui beamed with joy, "Let’s have Pearl Fried Rice tonight."
"Pearl Fried Rice" sounds like "eat, eat" to her.
After spending a lot of time with the little girl, Quan Jin realized he could understand most of her puns.
Although the little girl was not yet three years old, her speech and expression abilities were already excellent.
At this moment, Quan Jin was in high spirits and carried Suisui all the way to the western wing.
Upon reaching the western wing, Quan Jin learned from the butler that Suisui’s mom had already gone out.
"Did she go out alone?" Quan Jin asked the butler.
The butler nodded, "Yes, Young Master."
Quan Jin’s happy expression faded a little, "When did she leave?"
The butler quickly pulled out a pocket watch from his vest pocket, flipped it open like an old slider phone. Checking the time, he replied, "It’s been an hour and twenty minutes."
He only asked for the time, not expecting the butler to be so precise.
Glancing at the mercury-colored pocket watch in the butler’s hand, Quan Jin asked, "An old piece, isn’t it?"
"Indeed, it’s an old item." The butler recalled, saying, "Handed down from my grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather."
"..." That’s indeed quite old.
Quan Jin glanced at the little girl in his arms, "What to do? Your mom’s gone."
Suisui looked around, her expression obviously a bit uneasy, "She hasn’t gone, mom hasn’t left."
The little girl said with great determination that her mom hadn’t left.
Suddenly, Quan Jin wanted to see how important her mother was to the little girl, so he said, "Your mom doesn’t want you anymore."
Suisui looked at Quan Jin sharply.
The silent expression foretold what might happen the next second, and Quan Jin immediately corrected himself, comforting her, "I meant your mom went out to buy you snacks, not that she doesn’t want you."
Suisui, in a grievance-filled voice, said, "I don’t want snacks, I want mom."
Quan Jin said, "But she went out."
Suisui’s voice grew more and more aggrieved, "No, I don’t, I just want mom, I want mom, I want mom."
Repeating it three times to emphasize the importance of it.
"Alright, alright, don’t cry now, I’ll take you to find your mom right away." What else can he do with his daughter? Just go along with her.
While comforting his daughter, in his heart, he complained about that woman:
How can she be at ease leaving their daughter at the old residence and going out all by herself, she sure has a big heart.
As they were leaving, Quan Jin put on a black baseball cap, and when Suisui saw it, she wanted one too, so Quan Jin got her a matching one in a small size.
Alright, now they have matching parent-child hats!
...
Usually, Quan Jin liked to drive himself.
Today, with Suisui, it was inconvenient to drive, so he called a driver from the Quan Family.
In the car.
Suisui peered out of the car window at the traffic outside. Several times Quan Jin pulled her back, only for her to be back at the window in a blink.
"That’s not safe." For the umpteenth time, Quan Jin pulled Suisui back.
Once he had her by his side, he used one arm to hold her, freeing the other to use his phone. Going out just like that, yet he hadn’t planned how to find the person.
How to find her?
He didn’t even have the woman’s phone number!
He could only call Grandma to ask for the woman’s phone number.
Suisui looked up to see Quán Jin making a call, resting her chin on his arm, and pitifully asked, "Did Mom really not want me anymore?"
Holding the phone to his ear, Grandma hadn’t picked up yet. Hearing the little girl’s question, he realized that what he said back at the old residence might have caused quite a bit of emotional trauma to the little girl’s young heart.
