The baby’s gaze was also vacant, probably contemplating... life?It was the first time Gu Shaozhi realized that such a difficult task existed in the world; he didn’t dare to exert even a tiny bit more force on Pea’s tiny arms and legs.
He had just picked up the little cutie, wanting her to stand on the bed, but in less than a second she clung to his chest, chirping words he couldn’t understand.
In short, it seemed like she hadn’t grown any bones.
Finally dressed, the little bun, both tiny and soft, clung to Gu Shaozhi’s neck, unwilling to let go. A joy he’d never felt before arose in his heart, and the corners of his lips kept curling upwards.
Suddenly, he found Lin Chu not that annoying anymore.

The big one and the little one sat in the dining room eating breakfast, with the servant occasionally glancing at Pea, since she kept feeling that something seemed off with the little girl today.
When Pea really couldn’t eat anymore and started fidgeting, she finally realized what was strange.
Ah, the gentleman had put Miss An Ge’s dress on backward.
Gu Shaozhi put down his coffee cup, touched the little girl’s cheek, and gently asked, "Are you full?"
Pea blinked as she nodded.
Gu Shaozhi pulled out a napkin to wipe Pea’s mouth, then carried her to the living room, casually scooping up Cola, who tried to sneak away, and put it into Pea’s arms.
"Uncle is going upstairs to get something. Play with the cat for a while, and be careful not to bump into the table."
Pea adorably nodded in agreement, "Okay."
While Gu Shaozhi went upstairs to the study to get some documents, the servant quickly put down the cleaning cloth and before he came back down, fixed Pea’s dress, acting as if nothing had happened, very naturally.
Sitting on the carpet, Pea was in a bad mood and even her actions of smoothing the cat’s fur were weak and half-hearted.
Seeing Gu Shaozhi coming downstairs, she murmured, "Uncle Gu, are you going to work?"
Gu Shaozhi had changed into a shirt because Pea said white looked better.
The black trousers outlined his long legs as he crossed them leisurely, walked up to the little girl, and gently said, "Yes, Uncle will take you to the company."
Lu Huai’an might come over in a bit, and he certainly wouldn’t leave the little cutie at home alone.
The beautiful yet troubled Pea blinked, "But I want to wait for Aunt to come back."
Missing home, missing Dad and Mom, missing Brother...
Gu Shaozhi picked up the little girl, soothingly cooing, "Aunt will go to Uncle’s company, and you’ll be able to see her first thing."
Pea sighed, "...Okay then."

Today in Gu Family’s company, whether in the office or the break room, people were discussing one thing: whose little girl did Mr. Gu bring in this morning?
"It’s really strange, why would Mr. Gu bring a child to the company?"
"Exactly, and he was so protective, it was clear he didn’t want the child to be seen. I only stole a glance from afar when Mr. Gu came in, but couldn’t see clearly."
"Oh my god, to be held by Mr. Gu, she must have saved the Galaxy in her past life."
"Right, right, the emotionally distant Mr. Gu, he’s been in a good mood recently. When I went to submit a report the day before yesterday, I even saw him smile; I swear, I thought I was dreaming."
"Didn’t the former Mrs. Gu, Ji Wanxia, return? What’s so surprising about a smile?"
"But they’ve been divorced for four years, and Shen the Superstar’s top status is still firmly intact, all thanks to Mr. Gu, but this aristocratic love polygon is beyond me."
"He did support, but Mr. Gu never announced being with the superstar, and who has seen him smile in these four years?"
"That’s true. Hey, do you think that little girl might be... Mr. Gu’s child...?"
...
Secretary Liu, standing at the door, listened to most of it and felt it necessary to clear her throat to remind those inside, "Ahem ahem!"
She deliberately raised her voice, and the break room immediately fell silent.
Private discussions about the boss are strictly taboo.
The newly arrived intern, of course, didn’t understand these rules and was irresistibly curious, whispering over to inquire, "Sister Qing, who was the little girl Mr. Gu was holding today?"
Secretary Liu was holding a bottle, definitely not something typical for the company.
After preparing the formula as instructed, she turned and patted the intern’s shoulder with a polite smile, "Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t ask."

Mr. Gu’s boss chair was occupied by the Pea Princess, who was drinking milk with full concentration, leaving him to sit on the sofa, hunched over, working on a coffee table at a most unsuitable height.
