The Three-and-a-Half Years Old Baby is Pampered by Eight Uncles!

Chapter 17

Lack of Love

“Hubby, why are you here? My attitude was wrong just now.” Ye Yan tidied her appearance. Gu Lin had not come to look for her in a long time. “Don’t blame Zizi. She’s still a child…”

“I’m not here to look for you.” Gu Lin’s words shattered all of Ye Yan’s fantasies. “Zizi, come over with Daddy for a while.” After saying that, he turned around and left without even looking at Ye Yan.

Gu Zi followed her father carefully. She could not tell if her father’s expression was good or bad. It was his usual expression. Gu Zi did not know what her father wanted to say to her.

Gu Lin brought the child to his office. The decoration here was just like Gu Lin’s person, completely meticulous.

“What’s wrong, Daddy?” Gu Zi asked carefully. She was afraid that her father would suddenly slap her like he did in the afternoon.

“Zizi, come here.” Gu Lin sat in his chair and bent down to hold Gu Zi’s shoulder.

“Daddy…” Gu Zi was a little afraid. In her impression, her father’s image had always been dignified and unapproachable. However, now that he was at the same level as her, Gu Zi felt a little uncomfortable.

“I’m sorry. Daddy shouldn’t have hit you in the afternoon.” Gu Lin looked into Gu Zi’s eyes. “But Daddy promises to never hit you again. Can you forgive Daddy?”

“Yes, I don’t blame Daddy at all.” Gu Zi nodded. “Zizi likes Daddy the most!”

“Then can Zizi answer Daddy’s question? Why does Zizi keep targeting Sister Yunbao?”

Gu Zi did not expect Gu Lin to ask her this question. Why did she hate the newcomer?

Gu Zi looked into her father’s eyes. “Because…” She stammered, not knowing what to say. “Because Mommy said that the new sister will take away Daddy’s love for me. Besides, Daddy is very gentle to her, but Daddy is very fierce to me. Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle treat her better than they treat me.”

Gu Lin was stunned. He did not expect his daughter to lack love so much.

Gu Lin’s attention was focused on his work. Especially after knowing that Ye Yan had been scheming against him, he resisted interacting with her and even neglected his daughter.

He had always advocated elite education. As long as Ye Yan did not lead Gu Zi astray, it did not matter if she was a little arrogant.

Before his sister went missing, he was also a good brother and father. However, ever since Gu Teng disappeared, Gu Lin gradually refused to express his emotions. After that, Gu Zi was born.

Ever since he found Yunbao, Gu Lin had transferred his feelings for his sister to Yunbao. He was also making up for the love that Yunbao had lacked in the Wang family for the past three years. But now, it seemed that Yunbao was not the only one who lacked love. He had really neglected his daughter.

“I’m sorry, Zizi.” Gu Lin hugged Gu Zi deeply. “Daddy has neglected you for so many years.”

Gu Zi was shocked and slowly reached out her small hands to hug him back.

“I’m sorry, Daddy. I didn’t mean it at dinner.” The girl’s voice was small. “I didn’t know the new sister didn’t have a Mommy…”

“You’re a good child if you know your mistakes and change.” Gu Lin tidied Gu Zi’s messy hair. “Should we apologize to your sister later?”

“Okay!”

“Do you want to hear a story from Daddy?” Gu Lin carried Gu Zi on his lap, and the girl nodded obediently.

Gu Lin used the perspective of a bystander to tell his daughter what had happened to Yunbao.

“Ah, this little girl is so pitiful. Her father and stepmother are too despicable!” Gu Zi had obviously brought herself into the story. It was easy for children of her age to take fairy tales seriously. Gu Zi’s eyes were already red.

“If I were in their house, I would definitely beat them up!” Gu Zi waved her small fist. However, when she thought of Gu Lin beside her, who did not like it when she acted like this, she lowered her little head.

“Daddy believes you. Zizi is the most righteous, right?”

“Yes, yes!” Gu Zi nodded.

“Actually, the story that Daddy told you just now is about your Sister Yunbao’s life. Zizi must have been in a lot of pain when Daddy hit you in the afternoon, but Yunbao’s father and stepmother hit her even harder, so Sister Yunbao’s previous life was very painful.”

“Then she’s very pitiful.” Gu Zi’s voice was muffled.
