Chapter 596 - 258. [Summer of Dew]
Qingshui Bay Villa, second floor, in the room where Pea Princess sleeps.The servant looked at the little figure sitting on the bed and then at Gu Shaozhi sitting on the sofa. This stalemate had lasted for half an hour. If it continued, it would probably still be the same when Miss Ji returned:
Mr. Gu was sitting leisurely on the sofa, while the Little Princess hugged the cat, glaring at him angrily.
After a mental struggle, the servant took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and decided to break the deadlock, "Mr. Gu, shall I help Miss An Ge get dressed?"
The Gu Family was a famous and prestigious family in An City. Mr. Gu must have been born with a silver spoon. Although he maneuvered adeptly in the business world, he probably wasn’t very skilled at dressing little girls.
Gu Shaozhi didn’t flinch, took a sip of tea, and ordered calmly, "No need, go out and close the door."
Upon hearing this, Pea sitting on the bed instantly fell into panic.
With only Uncle Gu left, does, does that mean she would be eaten?
She looked at the servant pitifully, her face clearly saying: Auntie, don’t leave, I don’t want to be alone with Uncle Gu.
The servant understood the little girl’s gaze but didn’t dare to dress the child without permission, so she respectfully left the room.
Now, there was only one big and one small in the bedroom.
Pea Princess, holding her furry self, wasn’t very graceful at the moment, with a few strands of hair sticking to her nose and some standing upright in the air.
Half asleep, her strap nightdress was also skewed, and the corner of her mouth still had evidence of drooling in her dreams last night.
She blinked aggrievedly and said her first words to Gu Shaozhi, "Where’s Auntie?"
Gu Shaozhi put down the teacup, got up, and walked to the bedside, his brow lined with a gentle smile, "Auntie went out on an errand. Uncle Gu is the only one home."
After hearing this, Pea pouted as if she wanted to cry but didn’t dare to.
Her big eyes teary, she looked at Gu Shaozhi’s stomach and choked out, "Uncle, did you eat Auntie?"
Gu Shaozhi, "..."
He felt a bit of a headache.
What had he done to make this child think he would eat people?
However, he did kind of want to eat a certain woman, but... not now.
Sitting by the bed, he attempted to embrace both the girl and the cat in his arms, but as soon as he reached out, the little girl hid in the quilt in terror.
He gave a helpless smile, gently called Pea’s name in a soft voice, "An Ge," the little girl gripped the edge of the quilt tightly, and he dared not use too much force, so he had to give up, "Uncle really likes you. It was wrong of me to get angry with you the other day, and I apologize. I promise I won’t do it again, okay?"
Jin Sinan simply got ahead, nothing worth minding.
Yeah, not worth getting mad about.
Pea, hidden under the thin blanket, felt Uncle Gu’s voice was so gentle that her inner fear wasn’t as severe anymore.
She cautiously peeked out half her head, her big watery eyes blinking, and asked in a soft voice, "Then, Uncle Gu, do you know the story of Snow White?"
This meant: If you tell me a story, I’ll forgive you.
Gu Shaozhi paused for a moment before calmly replying, "It’s daytime now, I’ll tell it at bedtime."
After all, just a few hundred words of a story. Browsing through it online later wouldn’t take long.
Perhaps feeling suffocated, Cola deserted its comrade, wriggling free from Pea’s arms and diving out of the quilt to jump out of bed.
Pea, feeling a sense of emptiness in her arms, looked at Gu Shaozhi pitiably, "I want milk."
Gu Shaozhi gently extracted the chubby pink dumpling from the quilt, stroked her hair, but no matter how he smoothed it, those few strands sticking up in the air wouldn’t stay down, so he decided to give up for now.
He kissed the little girl’s forehead, his voice soft, "Put on your clothes first, then you can drink downstairs."
Wow... anything?
Pea’s eyes shined brightly, mischievously rolling her eyes, she said in her babyish voice, "I don’t want to eat."
Mmhmm, some people were starting to push their limits.
Gu Shaozhi curved his lips into an extremely gentle smile and slowly responded with three words, "Not allowed."
It was important to eat, especially when one’s still growing.
Pea pouted, "...Oh."
...
Pea was cranky when waking up. Today, she didn’t see Mom, nor Auntie, so she was in a sour mood.
When Gu Shaozhi helped her get dressed, she just nestled limply in his arms, not even lifting an arm, showing no intention of cooperating.
