Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Just like her brother, Jian Xiaoxin hoped that there would be someone by her mother’s side who could take care of her and love her. Because their mother had never cared about that, the two of them worried about her.
The difference between Jian Xiaoxin and her brother was that her criteria for choosing the prospective candidates was that they had to be good-looking first and foremost.
This uncle is quite handsome!
“Uncle, how old are you?”
Chu Liyuan was taken aback by her sudden question and blurted out, “Forty-four.”
“Forty-four years old? So old?”
Why does this girl’s tone sound so familiar?
Jian Jian seemed to have the same reaction when she first found out my age.
At the thought of this, Chu Liyuan’s lips curled up slightly.
“You’re old enough to be my grandfather!” Jian Xiaoxin’s straightforward personality was completely the same as Jian Dan’s.
“Is that so?” Chu Liyuan was not angry at all.
“However, on account that you’re so handsome, the issue of your age can be glossed over.”
Why does this girl’s words feel…
“Then what do you do for a living?”
“I’m a venture capitalist.” Chu Liyuan replied casually.
Venture investment was only one of Qin Corporation’s portfolio.
“Oh! That’s not bad.”
“Then who do you have in your family?”
Is this girl doing a household census on me?
“Grandfather, grandmother and my wife.”
“Wife?” When Jian Xiaoxin heard this word, her originally bright face instantly became gloomy.
“Uncle, you’re already married?”
“Yes.”
“Understandable. Stupid me. When I saw your handsome face, I forgot the most important thing.”
“You’re already so old. How can you still be single?” Jian Xiaoxin said as she knocked herself on the head.
Chu Liyuan looked at the little girl in front of him with a smile.
Although I can’t get to see Jian Jian, this girl is like Jian Dan’s mini-me. At the very least, it can console me with illusions.
“Alas, that’s too bad then, Uncle. Here I was, thinking that perhaps you could be my father. Since you are already married, that’s a moot point then.”
“Be your father?” Chu Liyuan was amused by her.
Turns out that this little girl asked me so many things Just now to see if Im qualified to be her father!
“Yeah! My mother is very beautiful and has a lot of suitors, but she doesn’t fancy any of them. So, I need to find a particularly good catch and only then will Mom probably take a fancy to him.”
“This way, even if I die, Mom won’t be so lonely anymore.” Jian Xiaoxin’s face suddenly became very sad.
“You?” Chu Liyuan did not know why such a young child would say such a thing.
“Uncle, why are you here in the hospital?”
Chu Liyuan’s heart ached inexplicably when he saw the little girl smile again.
“Uncle, is it because you’re sick too?”
“I’m sick too. Very sick.”
“Mom didn’t tell me at first, but I overheard the doctor saying that I have leukemia.”
Chu Liyuan did not expect such a young child to be struck with such an illness.
He knitted his brows.
“I know that this is a very serious illness. Even if I undergo surgery, I might not be able to get well. That’s why I hope to find someone to take care of Mom before I’m gone.”
Such a young girl actually thought of her mother instead of herself in the face of such a thing. Her mother must be incredible to raise such a child..
