Chapter 96 - 96: Second Male Love Interest Is Here (1)
Gu Manxi's life in the original novel was too miserable.
She was so kind, and she deserved all the good things.
If Song Chen could protect Gu Manxi, Gu Chu could reluctantly call him father. If Song Chen couldn't protect Gu Manxi, there were plenty of men who wanted to be Gu Chu's stepfather, such as Cheng Qi, Fangzheng, and Lu Shanhe.
Gu Manxi's eyes reddened as she smiled and stroked her child's hair. "Chuchu... you're such a good girl."
A five-year-old child was so sensible that Gu Manxi's eyes welled up.
She had felt countless times that Gu Chu was a little angel given to her by the heavens. She had somehow changed her life and injected fresh hope into her once lonely years.

On the other side, Song Chen had finished handling his official business and tidied himself up.
After changing into a few sets of suits and uniforms, he finally chose a dark checkered shirt and black trousers. Then, he sprayed some Bois D'Argent on himself.
"President, I've bought the gift." The assistant had a complicated expression as he handed over the gift box.
Song Chen checked it and nodded in satisfaction.
He had no experience in raising kids, so he looked up popular gifts for five-year-old girls on the Internet. The number one gift was Barbie.
Song Chen specifically asked his assistant to buy the most popular Barbie doll. He thought that a cute and soft little girl like Gu Chu would definitely like a beautiful Barbie doll.
Song Chen adjusted his mood and drove to Gu Manxi's apartment.
Song Chen, who was about to meet his wife and daughter, was in a very good mood. He felt that the sun was particularly bright today, the sky was especially blue, the white clouds were especially cute, and the green roadside trees on both sides of the road were lush.
Song Chen stopped at the entrance of the residential area. He held flowers in his left hand and a toy gift box in his right hand.
"President Song?" A young voice sounded.
Song Chen turned around and saw Cheng Qi, who was also dressed normally but had a mature temperament. Cheng Qi was also holding a box of things in his right hand. It looked like pastries.
"Young Master Cheng, who are you looking for?" Song Chen asked.
Cheng Qi thought to himself, "of course I'm here to look for the five-year-old little girl."
But on the surface, Cheng Qi gave himself an excuse. "I'm here to look for Miss Gu. I have something to ask her."
Song Chen had a bad feeling. It's broad daylight, and you're a minor (15 years old) looking for my wife?
Cheng Qi didn't linger and knocked on the door.
The nanny opened the door and welcomed Cheng Qi into the house with a smile.
Song Chen took a deep breath, thinking that he was overthinking things. Cheng Qi was only 15 years old, so he shouldn't have any ill intentions towards Gu Manxi.
Just as Song Chen was about to knock on the door, a voice sounded from behind him. "President Song?"
Song Chen turned his head and saw Fang Zheng in his white coat. He was calm and refined.
Fangzheng was Zhao Yan's family doctor. He was also Zhao Yan's comrade-in-arms. He mingled in the upper circles of the capital and was quite famous.
"Mr. Fang Zheng," replied Song Chen coldly.
Fang Zheng pushed up his glasses and gave Song Chen a nonchalant glance. He turned around and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was the nanny. Fang Zheng said, "Auntie, I'm here to visit Miss Gu."
"Doctor Fang, come in quickly. I've already prepared tea for you." The nanny naturally knew Fang Zheng. She happily invited Fangzheng into the house. "Miss is still upstairs taking care of Chuchu."
With that said, the nanny closed the door and did not even glance at Song Chen.
Zhao Yan and Lin Xiaozhou went to the pet shop to buy a dog. Before they left, Zhao Yan specifically told the nanny that dogs and Song Chen were not allowed to enter.
Song Chen watched as Fang Zheng entered the house with mixed feelings.
Cheng Qi had just entered and Fang Zheng was back too. Why did he have so many love rivals?
President Song took a deep breath and repressed his emotions as he knocked on the door. Just as his hand touched the doorbell, another voice sounded from behind him.
"Song Chen?"
