Chapter 741 - 749: Chuchu Wants to See You...
"Ah!" Unable to hold it in, she gasped out loud...
"Mom, what’s wrong?" Chuchu came over and tugged on Chu Xiaoge’s blanket, seeming to want to see her mom.
This scared Chu Xiaoge half to death. She hurriedly pressed down on the blanket with all her might, so anxious that fine sweat beads appeared on her forehead, "Nothing, nothing, mom’s just too cold... Chuchu, could you get mom a cup of hot water?" Chu Xiaoge lied without so much as a blush, hoping to get her daughter out of the room temporarily.
At least let her get dressed first!
Chuchu suspected nothing and quickly turned to get water, "Mom, wait for me just a bit."
Finishing her words, she ran out.
The moment Chuchu completely left the room, the two people wrapped in the blanket sprang up!
One quickly closed the door and locked it!
The other scrambled to pick up their clothes and started dressing frantically!
Never thought they would be this embarrassed in front of their daughter...
Chu Xiaoge had only gotten half her clothes on when Chuchu came back with the water. She pushed the door, only to find it wouldn’t open.
"Click, click..." Chuchu twisted the doorknob hard twice, realizing the door still wouldn’t open, she immediately got anxious, "Mom? Why can’t the door open? Is it locked?"
... Inside, the two adults froze abruptly!
Chuchu was very smart and quickly thought of a possibility, "Mom and dad don’t want Chuchu anymore..."
They were fine when she left, but now the door was locked when she returned.
Chuchu knew the door must’ve been locked by mom and dad.
But why did mom and dad lock the door?
Surely, they don’t like Chuchu and don’t want her anymore...
"Waaah..." The more Chuchu thought about it, the sadder she became, and tears started streaming down her face.
Kids from single-parent families generally lack a sense of security.
Furthermore, Chuchu had not experienced a father’s love since she was young, making her even more sensitive and fearful of loss.
Listening to her daughter’s cries, Chu Xiaoge’s heart was wrenched, each sob bringing stinging pain.
She even ignored putting on her clothes and rushed over to open the door, but Shang Dongyuan stopped her.
He hadn’t finished dressing either! Opening the door now would do no good!
He took a deep breath, fiddled with the door lock but didn’t fully unlock it, and exaggeratedly talked to Chuchu outside.
"Huh? How did this door get locked? Chuchu, don’t cry, maybe the door is broken. Dad will open it right away!" Skilled in lying, Shang Dongyuan signaled to Chu Xiaoge with his eyes to hurry up and get dressed!
Chu Xiaoge, receiving the hint, hastily continued dressing.
Chuchu outside, still confused, really thought the door was broken and immediately stopped crying.
"Dad, can you open the door? Chuchu wants to see you two..."
By now, Chu Xiaoge had finished dressing. She walked to the door and fiddled with the lock, letting Shang Dongyuan finish dressing in her place.
"Chuchu, wait just a little longer; mom and dad are figuring out how to open the door! The lock is a bit rusty..."
Shang Dongyuan was quick; he got dressed in no time.
Once they were both fully dressed, they finally unlocked and opened the door.
At the moment the door opened, Chuchu dashed in, hugging Shang Dongyuan’s leg tightly, crying out with grievance, "Dad, don’t leave Chuchu..."
Shang Dongyuan was stunned for a moment, then looked down to see the big teardrops still clinging to Chuchu’s wide eyes, feeling a sudden, intense pang of heartache.
