Chapter 20: Mr. Gu Likes His Mother

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After returning to the hotel, Qiao Nuan went to the presidential suite on the top floor to pick up the children.

She had thought that just like the previous few days, the children were taken care of by Gu An’s nanny and bodyguards, but she did not expect to meet Gu Cheng in the presidential suite.

Gu Cheng did not leave the hotel for the whole day. While handling work, he secretly observed the two children.

He found that although Gu An and Qiao Ning looked almost identical, their personalities could be said to be worlds apart.

Gu An had been taught to be very sensible since he was young. He was polite, logical, and carried the same reserved and cold Gu family visage.

Qiao Ning, on the other hand, was a completely different character. Although Qiao Ning was very polite himself, he was naughty and lively, with the potential to be a wayward child.

With Qiao Ning around, the hotel’s top-floor presidential suite was filled with laughter all day long. Gu Cheng didn’t like the noisy environment, but he didn’t hate Qiao Ning at all. After all, he was his child. No matter what, he was still cute.

It was probably because Qiao Ning had let Gu Cheng relax. Thus, when he faced Qiao Nuan, a woman with ulterior motives, his attitude became a little more gentle.

“Mr. Gu, have you been taking care of the two children in the hotel today?” Qiao Nuan could not believe her guess. She reached out to touch Qiao Ning’s sweaty forehead, “I didn’t expect you to be such a responsible parent.”

“I am indeed more responsible than you, Miss Qiao.” Gu Cheng felt that Qiao Nuan’s last sentence was sarcastic, and his gentle expression instantly turned cold. “Miss Qiao, aren’t you afraid that something might happen to the child if you hand him over to a stranger?”

Qiao Nuan looked at Gu Cheng in surprise. “Why should I be worried that something might happen to Qiao Ning?”

As expected, she wouldn’t feel bad over a child that was not her biological child? Gu Cheng understood in his heart. Qiao Nuan’s attitude towards Qiao Ning was so casual, and she had even handed him her child with ease. Indeed, she must’ve wanted to use this child to get involved with him.

Gu Cheng could not help but feel offended that his child was being used by someone with ulterior motives. However, it was not the time for him to shed all pretense of cordiality, and he could only suppress the anger in his heart.

Nonetheless, Gu Cheng’s tone was cold and sarcastic. “This doesn’t seem like an attitude you would have towards your own son.”

Qiao Nuan felt that Gu Cheng was full of sarcasm. She rolled her eyes and said, “Ever since Gu An was kidnapped a few days ago, the security of Summer Palace has been upgraded. You even put so many bodyguards around Gu An. Qiao Ning and Gu An are playing together. What do I have to worry about?”

Gu Cheng frowned slightly. He was not sure if this was Qiao Nuan’s real thought or her excuse.

Qiao Nuan continued, “Under such tight protection, Qiao Ning is very safe unless you send someone to harm him. If you want to do something to my child, however, I will find a way to retaliate.”

Gu Cheng could also hear the warning in Qiao Nuan’s words. He thought that her disguise was really professional. At this moment, he almost believed that she was a good mother who put her child first.

“You’re overthinking. Even if I’m not a good person in the traditional sense, I won’t do anything to my child.”

“I hope so.” Qiao Nuan’s lips curled into a fake smile. “Sorry to bother you, Mr. Gu. Thank you for taking care of my child today.”

Qiao Nuan didn’t want to argue with Gu Cheng anymore. She held Qiao Ning’s hand and shook it. “Qiao Ning, quickly thank Mr. Gu and Gu An. It’s time for us to leave.”

Qiao Ning looked up at Gu Cheng cutely. “Mr. Gu, thank you for taking care of me. I like you a little today, but I still can’t let you be my father.”

Gu Cheng didn’t expect Qiao Ning to bring that topic up suddenly, and he didn’t know how to react and froze.

Fortunately, Qiao Nuan was poor at reading the emotions of others, and only thought that Qiao Ning was obsessed with wanting a father.

She hugged Qiao Ning in her arms and slapped his little butt in annoyance. “What are you saying, you little rascal? Don’t go around, simply recognizing everyone as your father. Isn’t that embarrassing?”

Qiao Ning pouted in dissatisfaction and complained, “Mom’s the one who’s lost Daddy, so Mommy should be the one embarrassed. I’m not embarrassed.”

“Is what you said about being embarrassed the same as what I said about being embarrassed?”

Qiao Nuan looked helpless, but she couldn’t argue with her son in someone else’s room, so she said to Gu Cheng, “I’m sorry, Mr. Gu. Qiao Ning didn’t mean to offend you. He just always wanted a father.”

After a moment of silence, Gu Cheng asked, “Then why don’t you find a father for your child?”

“This is a personal question. I don’t need to answer you.” Qiao Nuan looked at Gu Cheng with a strange look. “Don’t tell me you really want to be Qiao Ning’s father? I’m telling you that we are completely unsuitable for each other. You shouldn’t be interested in me.”

What was this woman thinking that she could come to such an absurd conclusion?

“How could I be interested in you?” Gu Cheng’s face seemed to be covered by a layer of frost. “Don’t think too highly of yourself, Miss Qiao..”
