I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father Chapter 52

Lin Xi was taken aback by Gu Shao's words. She looked at him, dumbfounded. There was surprised in her eyes.

Gu Shao looked down and into her eyes. He enunciated every word, “You don't need to fawn over anyone here, not even me.”

Lin Xi, “……”

Fawning over?

She only felt that she should be conscientious of the fact that she was living under somebody else's roof. She subconsciously wanted to make sure that Gu Shao would keep her there and that she didn't want him to find her annoying…

“I didn't…” Lin Xi lowered her head and denied in a low voice. Her eyes, however, darted around aimlessly.

Gu Shao did not comment on that. He looked at the top of Lin Xi's head and said, “I've made the promise that I will raise you. Then, out of the responsibility of a father, I will raise you and do my best to provide you with the best.”

It was the first time he had said the last part of sentence. In the past, he had only planned on providing the child that came out of nowhere the mandatory living and school expenses out of responsibilities. His viewpoint, seemed to have changed a little over time.

“I will not treat you the same way that your birth other and adoptive father did. You won't need to worry about that.” Gu Shao paused, then said, “As such, you don't need to feel like you are always walking over thin ice in this house. Nor would you need to be alarmed or worry too much. You can freely do what you want.”

Albeit he had no experience or idea in child-rearing, in Gu Shao's mind, being father meant to put up with their children.

Lin Xi looked at Gu Shao with surprise. She hadn't expected a cold person who rarely smiled would talk so much with her.

Even though Gu Shao's tone was still very cold, but it was already enough to make Lin Xi be pleasantly surprised.

“Thanks, Dad!”

“I'll be good. And will repay you. And be nice to you.” The girl's voice was soft but what she said was enough to make someone want to smile and also feel a hint of warmth.

As though worried that Gu Shao would not believe her, Lin Xi added, “I meant what I said.”

Gu Shao, “……” At least the girl didn't say she would buy him the best plot and hold the most expensive funeral for him this time.

Aunty Mei, watching the interaction between the father and daughter, was pleased.

She had been watching Lin Xi and Gu Shao the last few days. Even though the two were father and daughter, but they acted like strangers to each other. Never mind about interactions, they barely talked to each other.

On top of that, Aunty Mei could sense that Miss Xiao Xi needed some time to warm up.

For now, Aunty Mei was already pleasantly surprised for a conversation like this between the father and daughter.

— Mr. Gu was learning to become a better father as well.

Aunty Mei felt happy inside.

In addition, not even Gu Shao himself had noticed that he was much more patience when it came to Lin Xi than he was with any one else.

“Sir, Xiao Xi, come and have dinner. I made a lot today. They are getting cold.” Aunty Mei called out to the two of them with a smile on her.

Over the dinner table, Lin Xi passed the bowl with rice and the chopsticks over to Gu Shao.

Hmm. No, she wasn't fawning over him. It was just a habit that carried over from the last few days.

She then sat down in front of Gu Shao.

There were a lot of dishes today. There were chicken, meats, and seafood. Lin Xi was dazzled by the options.

Truth was, there were always a lot of dishes ever since the arrival of Aunty Mei.

Aunty Mei seemed to be very certain that Lin Xi had a terrible time when she was with the Lin family, that she had no clothes to wear and never enough food to eat. She was very determined to fatten her up.
