Chapter 1234: 1233 times better than you

“Yiyi, you’re not a little kid, you can’t be petulant.”

Bai Yuqin, adopting a mother’s authority, reprimanded with a stern face.

Yiyi grabbed the comic book, and after placing Tongtong on the floor, she said to Bai Yuqin, “Mom, I’ll go upstairs with Tongtong to take a bath, you should get some rest early too.”

“Yiyi.”

Bai Yuqin frowned, and Yiyi chuckled at her twice, “Mom, don’t worry about it, I promise you, I’ll definitely get married before I’m thirty, isn’t that okay?”

“Before you’re thirty, how old are you now, can I wait until you get married?”

“Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, Mom, what are you talking about? You’re going to live a long and healthy life, you’ll not only see me get married, but you’ll also see Tongtong’s wedding in the future.”

Yiyi’s face was full of expression, after speaking, she coquettishly stepped forward and hugged Bai Yuqin, even though Bai Yuqin turned her face away to avoid the embrace.

She still cheekily smiled and said, “Mom, you’re staying home with Tongtong all day, it’s quite tough, and apart from Tongtong, you don’t even have anyone else to talk to. How about this, I’ll register you at a matchmaking agency, you… ow, Mom, you’re going to beat me silly.”

Yiyi hugged her head, gazing at Bai Yuqin with a pitiful look.

Bai Yuqin withdrew her hand that had rapped on her head, “I won’t bother with your affairs anymore, but you have to be polite to Ah Kai, especially in front of Tongtong, you must not argue with people, got it?”

“I got it, can I just not talk to him when I see him?”

After Yiyi finished speaking, she bent down to take Tongtong’s hand, switching to a gentle smile, “Tongtong, shall we go upstairs and take a bath?”

“Okay.”

Tongtong looked at Yiyi with a delighted smile.

After Yiyi went upstairs, Bai Yuqin sat on the couch for a little while longer, tidying up Tongtong’s doll and getting ready to go upstairs, when Gu Kai arrived.

“Aunt Bai, has Yiyi come back?”

“She’s back, Yiyi took a cab home, saying she didn’t have any money on her, turns out her purse was with you.” Bai Yuqin saw the purse in Gu Kai’s hand and immediately showed a smile.

Gu Kai smiled warmly, “Hmm, she forgot her purse in the restaurant, and Ah Jin asked me to bring it to her. Has Tongtong gone to bed yet?”

“Not yet, you can go upstairs and look for them.”

Bai Yuqin seemed very pleased with Gu Kai’s arrival, seemingly forgetting the less than pleasant conversation they had that night.

Gu Kai acknowledged with a “okay” and turned to head upstairs.

Opening the door to Tongtong’s room, he saw that Yiyi had just finished bathing Tongtong, placing her on the bed and wiping her hair with a towel, her little body wrapped in a bath towel revealing only her head.

Tongtong, spotting Gu Kai with her keen eyes, immediately excitedly shouted; “Daddy, bath time is done.”

Yiyi’s motion of wiping Tongtong’s hair stiffened for a moment, without turning around, she continued to dry her wet hair.

Gu Kai walked to the bed, placed Yiyi’s purse on it and reached out, “Give me the towel, I’ll help wipe Tongtong’s hair.”

“Daddy.”

Tongtong squinted while smiling and quickly reached out to grab the towel, Yiyi was amused by Tongtong’s adorable behavior, “Tongtong, stand still, don’t move.”

She let go of the towel and stepped aside, letting Gu Kai take over her task.

“Plug in the hairdryer.”

Gu Kai took the towel, first bent down to sniff Tongtong’s cheek and praised, “Tongtong smells so nice.”

“Giggling, nice smells, Daddy.”

Tongtong received praise and her smile became even more brilliant, stretching out her hand to Gu Kai, inviting him to sniff it.

Gu Kai sniffed her hand with a chuckle and continued to applaud, “Mmm, Tongtong’s hand smells nice too. Has Tongtong been a good girl today?”

“Tongtong good girl.”

Tongtong hurriedly nodded, possibly because she was standing on the bed, which made her unsteady on her feet, and her little body lurched forward.

Gu Kai laughed heartily, stabilizing her, “Why aren’t you wearing pajamas? Wrapped in a bath towel instead.”

“Tongtong didn’t want to wear pajamas; she insisted on me wrapping her in a towel.” Seeing him turn his head to look at her, Bai Yiyi blinked innocently and explained in a soft voice.

She picked up the bag on the bed, opened it, checked everything inside, and then took out her phone to check.

Seeing that the number in her contacts really had been deleted, a surge of anger raced through Bai Yiyi’s heart, and she jerked her head up to glare at Gu Kai.

“Daddy, handsome.”

Tongtong’s childlike voice suddenly interrupted, and Bai Yiyi’s words got stuck in her throat; she clenched her phone tightly and took deep breaths to calm her anger.

Tongtong’s sparkling eyes fixated on Gu Kai, oblivious to her mother beside her deflating like a balloon. Although Gu Kai was looking at Tongtong and tenderly stroking her hair, the corner of his eye caught Bai Yiyi’s irritation.

Seeing she didn’t dare to erupt, a smug smile crept onto his lips.

After calming down a bit, Bai Yiyi pursed her lips and then spoke, “I’m going to sleep in my room now; you put Tongtong to bed.”

Since he was willing to tuck Tongtong in, she didn’t want to see him here anyway.

Gu Kai turned his head leisurely, his piercing gaze sweeping over the phone in her hand, he said indifferently, “I know, some numbers are memorized by heart; deleting them is pointless, and you don’t need to pretend to be angry.”

“You…”

Bai Yiyi had barely managed to quell her rage when it sparked once more, like oil being poured over a fire.

Gu Kai’s lips curled with a cool smirk, his seemingly calm and low-pitched words carried a mix of threat and warning:

“Bai Yiyi, I’ve said before that my word is my bond. If you find a man better than me to marry, I won’t stop Tongtong from calling him dad. But stay away from that Li En, as far as you can. Don’t say he’ll never get out; even if he does, I won’t allow him to meet Tongtong.”

Bai Yiyi laughed out of exasperation, her smile cold, “Rest assured, I will definitely marry a man who is a hundred times better than you.”

“Fine, I’ll wait.”

Gu Kai raised an eyebrow, adding leisurely, “If you really can’t find anyone, or no one wants you, I can act as a shelter and reluctantly take you in.”

“In your dreams. Even if I never marry in my life, I would never marry you.”

Bai Yiyi ground her teeth in anger, this detestable man, bullying her and yet not showing a single redeeming quality, and to think he had the gall to say she couldn’t find someone better.

Gu Kai narrowed his eyes, his gaze slowly moving from Bai Yiyi’s face and pausing on her lips, his expression deepening, “Just don’t regret it later.”

Bai Yiyi smiled, “Don’t worry, I won’t regret it.”

“Daddy, Mommy.” Tongtong looked up with her little face, puzzled as she watched Bai Yiyi and Gu Kai. Bai Yiyi immediately put on a smile, reached out to touch Tongtong’s little cheek, and said, “Tongtong is a good girl; Mommy is going to take a bath, Daddy will tell you a story later.”

“Tongtong good girl.” Tongtong nodded happily and then looked at Gu Kai, “Daddy, story.”

“Okay, Daddy will dry your hair first, then tell a story.”

“Daddy, Tongtong, sleepy time.”

Tongtong pointed to the bed behind her, looking expectantly at Gu Kai.
