He could only give a vague explanation. “I don’t quite understand what the deputy director exactly means, but he told me that your presence is required for verification of certain matters. I guess that the DNA result probably has something to do with you.”
“Something to do with me?” Gu Jinglian hooked a corner of his lips as his expression gradually grew cold. “What does it have to do with me?”
The butler swept him a glance, then he replied carefully, “You might be the father of that child.”
“…” The don’s face immediately changed. As if he had heard a hilarious joke, he responded, “You’ve got to be kidding me.”
“I wouldn’t dare, sir! No matter how gutsy I might be, I wouldn’t dare crack such a joke!” Butler Fu pulled a long face, for he felt utterly aggrieved at the accusation.
His old master, however, snorted. “Impossible. How could that brat be my child? He’s not only a coward but also dumb. I can’t possibly have a son as stupid as he is.”
Inwardly, he thought, Don’t be so sure of yourself, sir.
What if you end up getting slapped by the truth?
Upon hearing some noise coming from the bedroom, the butler immediately rushed to open the door and dashed inside without so much of a concern about his old master. There, he saw Baby Chu lying lazily on the bed with his fair, small legs dangling in the air. The boy seemed to be really comfortable in that position.
The earlier noise was made only because he shifted too much and accidentally knocked the stack of comic books that he had finished reading onto the floor.
When the butler carried him out, he was only halfway from finishing reading the comic in his hand; he was disrupted right at the most exciting moment of the story, so he was feeling utterly aggrieved and his face crumpled as if he was about to cry.
However, as they exited the room, the little one noticed the man leaning against the door frame with his arms folded across his chest. The moment he met the other’s aloof gaze, he completely broke down in tears. Closing his eyes, he let out a loud wail.
“Uwah…”
With Gu Jinglian already being somewhat in a foul mood, the boy’s crying only worsened it. His face grew dark and stormy, making him appear even more aloof and terrifying.
The child could not help shuddering in fright as he clutched the butler’s sleeve tightly. He was so scared that he could no longer care about his pride and let out yet another unbridled howl.
“I wanna go home, mommy!” cried the boy while hugging the butler with tears flowing from his eyes. “Mommy… I want mommy!”
Feeling a severe headache coming on, the mafioso bellowed, “Stop crying!”
It, however, only made the kid cry harder than ever. His arms wildly flailed in the air, and it was apparent that he wanted to stay away from the man. As if seeking protection, he stared dolefully, with teary eyes, at the butler, who could not help pitying him.
“Woowoo… I wanna go home. I don’t want this uncle…”
“Don’t cry, Baby. We’ll take you to look for your mother if you behave.”
Butler Fu cajoled. “Let me give you a hug, okay?”
“I don’t want this uncle… I don’t want him… He’s so fierce. He’ll surely eat me…” The boy finally stopped crying at his coaxing. With his small face remaining wrinkled, he said between sniffles, “This uncle is as scary as the demon king.”
