After Ye Wan received Ling Ming's call and came out, she saw Gu Yunting talking to their daughter. He was slightly bowed his head, gazing at his daughter's profile with tenderness, which made her heart skip a beat.
Now Ye Wan believed that only a father could love his daughter unconditionally. That kind of gentle, meticulous, and accepting love was something she had never seen in the eyes of the other men.
Perhaps they had never truly been fathers, so they couldn't truly understand what it felt like to be one.
In any case, the difference was stark.
Now Ye Wan understood why her daughter liked Gu Yunting, her biological father, so much.
"Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?" Ye Tuan Tuan's eyes lit up when she saw her mother come out, and she immediately reached out her small hand to her mother.
Ye Wan walked over and said, "Tuan Tuan, it's very late now. You can either come back with me, or you can stay here by yourself with your dad. Mommy has to go."
"Mommy, I don't want to leave, and I don't want you to go," Ye Tuan Tuan blinked her eyes and looked at her aggrievedly.
"Tuan Tuan, don't be willful. Mommy and Mr. Gu have no relationship. You can stay here, but I can't," Ye Wan said sternly to her daughter.
"Wan'er."
"Mr. Gu, please call me Ling Zi," Ye Wan said coldly to Gu Yunting.
"No, you are not some Ling Zi. You are Ye Wan, my Wan'er. The situation is special today, and our daughter is sick. You should stay and keep her company. As for your inconvenience, there's nothing inconvenient about it. I gave you this mansion back then. The house is in your name now. If you feel it's inconvenient, I'll leave," Gu Yunting said, looking at her.
Ye Wan: "..."
"What? This house is Mommy's? That's really great!" Ye Tuan Tuan was overjoyed when she heard this. She felt her dad was truly good to her mom, giving her such a big house.
"If you want it, Daddy can buy you a castle," Gu Yunting said, raising his hand to ruffle his daughter's hair.
Ye Tuan Tuan got a little carried away. Ye Wan looked at her daughter's lively demeanor, which was nowhere near the sickly appearance from before.
"Ye Tuan Tuan, are you really sick?" Ye Wan frowned at her daughter, sensing something was wrong.
"Huh? I... I'm really sick. I still have a headache. Mommy, I feel uncomfortable," Ye Tuan Tuan immediately began to feign illness again. However, the contrast was too great, and Ye Wan no longer believed her. She felt dizzy with anger and shouted furiously, "Ye Tuan Tuan, you tricked me!"
"Don't be angry with our child. It was my idea. I wanted to see you, so I came up with this plan," Gu Yunting quickly stopped Ye Wan from scolding their daughter.
"Gu Yunting, don't push it too far!" Ye Wan's chest heaved violently with anger. She really hadn't expected her daughter to conspire with him to deceive her!
"It's not Daddy's fault. It was my idea. Mommy, it's not Daddy's fault. Don't fight, don't fight," Ye Tuan Tuan cried, scared. She wiped her tears fearfully, not wanting to see her parents argue.
Gu Yunting felt heartbroken. He sat down and hugged his daughter, letting her sit on his lap. Ye Wan took a deep breath and said, "Ye Tuan Tuan, I won't argue with him. You can stay tonight."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left, her back exuding coldness.
"Mommy, don't go! Please, don't go, Mommy!" Ye Tuan Tuan cried heartbreakingly. The child had never cried like this since she was little. Ye Wan felt her heart ache.
