in reverse.She looked at it curiously, reaching out to pick it up.But when she flipped it over, she had some regrets. It was actually a photo frame, with a picture Wen Man had seen before—24-year-old...Li Siqi turned and looked toward the source of the voice.

The villa was bathed in beautiful lighting. Gu Siqi wore a pure white dress, her black hair stuck to her face, making her look especially pretty and well-behaved.

She was very small, holding onto the handrail, staring intently at Li Siqi.

That made even Li Siqi feel like she had committed a terrible sin, as if she had done something terribly wrong to her.

But that's not right!

This little guy used to be so fierce, he had about five Hualing An's worth of cunning!

Now the five little eyes slowly descend the stairs.

"Stay away from me!"

Li Siqi quickly said, she cleared her throat, and tried to explain things to the child: "I returned the money to your father! I am not your teacher anymore."

Gu Siqi stood up straight, her little face expressionless as she said: "I knew it, no one likes me! Daddy is always busy with meetings at work, and only the aunt at home keeps me company!"

After that, she slowly went upstairs, saying as she walked: "I don't even feel like eating if I'm not going to class!"

Gu Yunfan remained silent.

Li Siqi was dumbfounded again.

Wang Sao hurried down a few steps and pleaded, "Miss Siqi, please just stay and teach the little miss. She's been talking about you all afternoon! If you don't teach her, she will be so disappointed!"

"That's right! Whether my daughter is good or bad has nothing to do with Miss Li! You certainly don't need to worry about her. It doesn't matter if your career does well or not, you're not going to be a doctor's wife anyway."

Li Siqi pursed her lips: "Don't provoke me!"

Knowing it was a trap, she didn't want to fall for it and left without looking back.

Stepping out of this hall, stepping out of this villa, she would never have anything to do with Gu Yunfan again… She'd treat that past like it was nothing.

Li Siqi thought: She would also learn from him, to be more ruthless!

In the hall, seeing her walk Wang's wife was so anxious that she turned to Gu Yunfan: "Mr. Gu, what should we do"

Gu Yunfan picked up the newspaper again and looked at it nonchalantly.

Just then, a little girl ran down from upstairs like a whirlwind.

Gu Yunfan chuckled lightly.

In the parking lot, Li Siqi was about to get into her car when she was hugged by a pair of slender arms. A childish voice, fragile and pleading, came from behind her: "Don't go! Don't leave!"

Domineering, yet pitiful.

Li Siqi froze. Truly, no matter what this child did, she should be the one she hated and disliked the most. All these years, she still remembered how Mrs. Gu had slapped her while pregnant.

Li Siqi tilted her head back slightly and whispered, “You’re right! I don’t like you, not one bit! Why would I like you!”

After that, she ruthlessly broke free and got into the car, starting it up quickly.

As the car drove away for a while, she looked back in the rearview mirror and saw that thin little girl standing in the dusk. She was wearing her prettiest dress, but her face was filled with sadness.

She just stood there, watching the car drive away, and didn't go home.

What a good girl! She’s so obedient and pretty!

……

Li Sao's words echoed in my mind.

Li Siqi despised herself inwardly. What was she thinking, Li Siqi How could she feel sorry for this child How could she think she resembled her younger self, abandoned and alone like a stray dog

Stop! Stop!

Before reason could return, the white BMW screeched to a halt, its jarring brakes echoing through the villa.

Li Siqi was sitting in the car.

She thought, if that...that rather unlikeable little child was willing to come over and ask her again, she'd reluctantly teach her.

But she waited for a long time, and no one came.

Looking out the car window, Gu Siqi was still standing there, her skirt fluttering in the wind.

Li Siqi glared at her.

Big and small faced each other for a long time, finally Li Siqi slowly reversed the car, she said to Gu Siqi in the car: "Come over here, and I'll teach you!"

Gu Siqi pursed her lips, looking very condescending.

"Get out of the car and hug me! My legs are numb from standing!"

Li Siqi sneered: "I pampered you! Your feet are numb after just a while If you don't come, I'm leaving!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl ran over.

I opened the car door and leaned against her, whispering, "Aunt Wang said you are the mom that Dad found for me. I was so happy for a long time, but you don't like me!"

Li Siqi was flustered in the wind: “When did I say I would be your mother Your mother’s surname is Wang.”

"She's dead! I never saw her."

"Besides, we share the same name. Shouldn't you be my mother And your father likes you too! Your father has been a bachelor for so long. Every time Uncle Huo says he's a bachelor."

……

Gu Siqi, in the most gentle tone, spoke words that shattered the most deeply held beliefs.

Li Siqi was speechless: How did Gu Yunfan teach his children

At this time, Wangsao also ran over. Hearing this, she felt a little embarrassed and rubbed her hands together, saying, "That was just my guess, I was just talking nonsense."

Li Siqi lowered her head and emphasized to Gu Siqi again: "I'm here to teach you foreign languages, not to be your mother."

The little girl leaned on her shoulder, lazily saying, "I know, you have a boyfriend!"

Li Siqi heard the tone of voice,

Her heart skipped a beat, she was reluctant to believe that she could have been tricked by a three-year-old acting pitiful. She couldn't bring herself to admit it, so she simply said to Wang's wife, "Where is her little classroom"

Wang Sao was quite embarrassed: "Miss hasn't had dinner yet!"

Li Siqi didn't indulge him.

She stated bluntly, "Mealtime is included. I'm here to teach her, not feed her."

Gu Siqi felt a little wronged: "I can feed you, Dad can feed you too."

Li Siqi felt that she must be crazy to agree to stay.

Back in the hall, Gu Yunfan appeared calm and composed, while Li Siqi's face was burning with embarrassment. Compared to her awkwardness, Gu Yunfan was much more nonchalant. He put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Let's eat first!"

Li Siqi refused to eat: “I’m here to teach.”

Gu Yunfan pointed at Wang's wife: "She's eating with us too! What are you thinking!"

Gu Siqi had wiped away her tears early on. She held Li Siqi's arm with her small hand and softly said, "I want to sit next to Teacher Li. I will definitely finish a bowl of rice today."

Gu Yunfan sat down at the dining table.

When everyone else was seated, he unclasped the diamond cufflinks from his sleeves and rolled them up. It was a gesture he'd been making for years, one Li Siqi knew well… Her eyes grew warm, and she lowered her head to hide them.

Wang Sao prepared four stir-fried dishes, two portions of appetizing cold dishes, and one hot soup.

Also sat down.

Gu Yunfan personally ladled a bowl of soup for his young daughter and thought to himself, he should also ladle one for Li Siqi. He said politely: "Teacher Li, have a bowl too! Wang lao shi (Mrs. Wang) has been simmering it all afternoon."n expression, called out "Dad" as he went in, and then remained silent.Lu Qian touched him: "What's wrong"Lu Shu glanced at him and then said softly, "You're so grown up now, can you take care of your...
