"I'm willing."
"Really?" Gu Xiaobao's eyes lit up when he heard Li Xiao agree to be his father. He looked at Li Xiao with anticipation.
Gu Xiaobao pursed his dry lips and looked at Li Xiao, asking, "Will you treat my mother well in the future?"
Li Xiao reached out and pinched Gu Xiaobao's cheeks. He chuckled and said, "I'll definitely treat your mother well."
Gu Xiaobao was young, but he could tell who was telling the truth and who was lying.
Li Xiao spoke quickly, but he knew that Li Xiao was telling the truth. He was really willing to treat Jiujiu well.
Gu Xiaobao's wrinkled face instantly relaxed when he thought of Jiujiu. Gu Xiaobao looked at Li Xiao and said, "Alright, but if you dare to treat my mother badly, I'll …"
"Don't worry. You won't have the chance," Li Xiao said before Gu Xiaobao could finish his sentence.
However, Li Xiao remembered that Gu Xiaobao liked to call him father. He raised his hand and pinched Gu Xiaobao's cheeks again. He said in a low voice, "But promise me that you won't tell your mother that I want to be your father before I express my feelings to her. Do you understand?"
When Gu Xiaobao heard that Li Xiao wouldn't let him tell Jiujiu that he was willing to be his father, his happy face instantly became unhappy. However, when he thought of how Li Xiao was willing to be his father and how he wanted to express his feelings to Jiujiu, Gu Xiaobao reluctantly agreed and nodded.
Gu Xiaobao was a smart child. After he figured out Wang Long's situation and Li Xiao's willingness to be his father and treat Jiujiu well, Gu Xiaobao became the obedient and sensible child he used to be.
When Jiujiu finished cooking, Li Xiao and Gu Xiaobao walked out of the house one after another.
Li Xiao followed behind Gu Xiaobao. When he saw Jiujiu wearing a pink apron and carrying out the dishes from the kitchen, he suddenly felt like he was at home.
Although Gu Xiaobao and Jiujiu had a fight earlier, they were mother and son after all. There was no big conflict between mother and son. Moreover, after Li Xiao's words, Gu Xiaobao, who thought things through, immediately returned to his former self. He skipped over to Jiujiu and chattered like a little sparrow to Jiujiu about the things that happened to him at school.
When Jiujiu saw that Gu Xiaobao had returned to his former self, she looked at Li Xiao gratefully and answered Gu Xiaobao's questions in a low voice.
After Jiujiu placed all the dishes on the table, the three of them began to eat.
It was a very simple four dishes and a soup. They were all very home-cooked dishes, but because of Jiujiu's cooking, they were exceptionally delicious.
Li Xiao, who was always picky about his food, ate a few more bowls of rice than usual.
After the meal, Li Xiao carried the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen in a very natural manner. After washing the bowls and chopsticks, Li Xiao left.
Looking at Li Xiao's back, Gu Xiaobao, who had already decided that Li Xiao was his father, tugged at Jiujiu's sleeve again and whispered to Jiujiu, "Mom, I think that Uncle Li Xiao is really good to you. I want him to be my dad."
After Gu Xiaobao finished speaking, he thought of Wang Long's existence.
However, this time, Gu Xiaobao didn't feel sad because of Wang Long's existence. Instead, he looked at Jiujiu and said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made you sad."
After hearing Gu Xiaobao's apology, Jiujiu bent down and picked Gu Xiaobao up. The two of them sat on the sofa. Jiujiu looked at Gu Xiaobao and said, "Xiaobao, Mom didn't mean to hide it from you. That person is indeed your father, but he isn't a good person. He lied to Mom before and let Mom have you, but he abandoned Mom. Moreover, the reason why he came to ask for you now isn't because he still has a conscience and wants to make it up to you. It's because he can't have children in the future, so he thought of you."
Jiujiu didn't hide anything. She told Gu Xiaobao everything about why Wang Long came to Gu Xiaobao.
Although Gu Xiaobao had heard about Wang Long lying to Jiujiu from Li Xiao, hearing Jiujiu say it again made Gu Xiaobao feel particularly sad.
This time, he wasn't sad that his father wasn't a good person. He was sad that his mother was so miserably deceived by Wang Long.
Although Gu Xiaobao didn't know what Jiujiu meant when she said that Wang Long couldn't have children in the future, he could understand the meaning in Jiujiu's words.
Gu Xiaobao was a smart child, so he understood that if Wang Long could have children again, he definitely wouldn't come to him.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaobao's last bit of affection for Wang Long disappeared.
Just like what Li Xiao said, giving birth to a child was important, but giving birth to a child was more important than giving birth to a child.
Gu Xiaobao looked at Jiujiu. He clenched his fist and swore with a serious face, "Mom, don't worry. I won't leave you. I will only have you as my mother in the future. I won't have a father." Even if he had a father, he would only have one father, The father of Li Xiao.
However, because of his promise to Li Xiao, Gu Xiaobao said this sentence in his heart.
Jiujiu didn't know what Gu Xiaobao was thinking. She just smiled with relief when she saw that Gu Xiaobao was so sensible.
In the evening, Jiujiu told Gu Xiaobao the bedtime story that Gu Xiaobao liked to listen to the most before she went back to sleep.
Because Li Xiao came home late, he was questioned by his parents. After knowing that Li Xiao went to send Jiujiu and Gu Xiaobao back, The father of Li Xiao and his mother asked about Gu Xiaobao's situation with concern.
If Li Xiao wanted to be with Jiujiu, his parents' opinions were indispensable.
Li Xiao knew that although his parents admired Jiujiu now, if he really wanted to be with Jiujiu, his parents would be the first to disagree.
Not to mention other things, just the fact that Jiujiu had a child before marriage made his parents dissatisfied from the bottom of their hearts.
However, Rome wasn't built in a day, and marriage wasn't in a hurry.
Besides, Jiujiu wasn't a casual girl. The reason why she was deceived by Wang Long was that she was too naive at that time.
Li Xiao softly told them about Jiujiu's encounter with Wang Long today.
Li Xiao was very good at talking. When he told his parents about Jiujiu and Wang Long, he deliberately said that Jiujiu was particularly innocent, and that Wang Long was particularly terrible.
Moreover, he also told them about Jiujiu's childhood.
Li Xiao's parents originally had a good impression of Jiujiu. Later, when they heard from Li Xiao that Jiujiu graduated from high school and went to college by herself, they especially admired Jiujiu.
Now, when they heard about Jiujiu's pitiful childhood and the origin of Gu Xiaobao, Li Xiao's parents were particularly sad.
The mother of Li Xiao originally liked Gu Xiaobao. Now, after hearing about Jiujiu's experience, she couldn't help but curse, "That damned person is really a bad person."
