Marquis Gu had a strong feeling that he shouldn’t call the other party father!
Just how old was this boy? Even with a mask on his face, his eyes, hands and even his body shape could easily reveal his age, which should be about Yan'er’s age!
How could he call him father?!
And his father was also really…!
Forget about becoming sworn brothers with someone so young, but how could he allow his own son to call the other party father? He was actually adopted, right? Otherwise, how could a father screw over his own son like this?
What Marquis Gu didn’t know was that not only did he have a father who was screwing over his own son, he also had a daughter who was deceiving his own father here!
"Call people!" Old Marquis reminded with bravado.
In fact, he himself was aware that he had gone too far. How could his son call his little sworn brother father? At most, it should be uncle.
But then again, he already agreed. He was a proud man of his words, so he could only screw his son.
"I won’t!"
That would be humiliating!
Marquis Gu was also a man of backbone. His father wanted to save face, but how could Marquis Gu not?
He refused to call the other party father, even if that meant being beaten to death!
Old Marquis was put on a spot because of his son’s stubbornness, and he really swung his hand to slap him.
His father beating his son at times like this should only be natural, right?
Marquis Gu closed his eyes. Fine, hit me! I’d rather be hit! It would be my humiliation if I call the other person father anyway!
Gu Jiao, however, stopped Old Marquis and wrote on the small cardboard with a charcoal pen: It doesn’t, matter. You can, discipline a, disobedient son, slowly.
Gu Jiao scribbled a few words again and showed them to Marquis Gu: Come, let’s, eat, first.
Marquis Gu glanced at that chaotic handwriting and felt a twitch in the corner of his mouth. He seemed to understand a bit how his father became sworn brothers with the other party.
Such an ugly handwriting and their Gu Family men’s handwriting did seem to have come from a common origin!
In their Gu Family, even if they were as excellent as Gu Changqing, they had a handwriting that was simply hard to describe.
So, his father found a kinship with the other party’s calligraphy, right?
But wait a moment, this boy wasn’t able to talk? He was a mute?
Marquis Gu carefully sized up the other party again. His mask covered the upper half of his face, but he should be a delicate young boy based on his eyes and chin.
What a pity.
Marquis Gu sat down beside the other party.
With the difference in identity, Gu Jiao looked at Marquis Gu also differently than before. She was showing a strong interest in Marquis Gu at the moment, looking at him with the eyes of an old father.
Marquis Gu strangely felt disturbed in his heart.
Was it really okay for a teenager to look at people like that?
The food was quickly served.
Marquis Gu was surprised. Hm? How come they were all his favorite dishes?
Marquis Gu peeled a shrimp.
There was a look of relief and praise in Gu Jiao’s eyes as she looked at him.
Marquis Gu: Er, it’s just peeling a shrimp. What is there to praise? I'm not retarded!
Then Marquis Gu began to eat.
Gu Jiao didn't speak the entire time, but Marquis Gu always felt that her eyes were talking. For example——
Look, look! He ate the shrimp! He could eat shrimp!
Look, look! He ate fish! Oh, he spit out the fishbones!
All these were what Marquis Gu was imagining in his head; he didn’t think that the other party was actually thinking these. It was just, what was up with this boy’s excited eyes?
"You... You want to eat this?" Marquis Gu asked Gu Jiao, offering her the peeled shrimp. If possible, he really didn't want to ask, but he was really getting goosebumps from the staring of the other party.
Gu Jiao nodded her head.
Marquis Gu put the peeled shrimp in her bowl.
Gu Jiao tilted her head in triumph.
Marquis Gu seemed to read her thoughts from her eyes again: Wow, how filial!
Marquis Gu was shocked by himself. Brain ah, quit it! Stop these imaginations!
Old Marquis ran into another acquaintance of his and went out to say hello.
Only the two were left in the room.
Gu Jiao didn't give up the idea of asking him to call her father. She coaxed him and wrote with her charcoal pen: Call me, father, I’ll give you, a red, packet!
Marquis Gu continued to peel shrimps, "Hehehe, how about you call me father, and I'll give you a red packet!"
Gu Jiao thought for a moment and then wrote: How, much?
Marquis Gu：“…”
Gu Jiao wrote again: I, never, study, so I, am not good, with words. How, do you, read, this?
The word was written so crookedly that it took Marquis Gu all his life to recognize it. He frowned and said with uncertainty, "Dad?"
Gu Jiao: "Ai!"
Marquis Gu：“…!!!”
What a cunning little brat was this?
Wait, there seemed to be something amiss just now!
That voice sounded like a young girl?!
Marquis Gu’s body shook all over, whipping his head to look at Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao pointed her fingers together. She was so excited just now that she accidentally let out a sound.
Marquis Gu looked her up and down, not sparing even a single strand of her hair from his scrutiny, "You are..."
Gu Jiao shook her head decisively: I am not!
Marquis Gu suddenly stood up, "You’re—-"
Gu Jiao’s small fist smacked him!
"Ugh—-" Marquis Gu covered his left eye, which was beaten into a panda eye in an instant.
Gu Jiao took advantage of this moment of inattentiveness to make a dash for the door.
Marquis Gu took a long time to recover his senses.
This familiar strength, this familiar pattern...
How come they reminded him of that girl so much?
Although Marquis Gu had no evidence, he felt that there was absolutely no second person in the whole world who would be so bold apart from that girl!
In order to confirm his guess, Marquis Gu chased the other party out with great strides, regardless of whether his father was still in the tea house or not.
