Chapter 2379: Come Back, I Beg You 7

"Who else is as big a Silly as you two?" Gu Shaocheng put down the leisure book in his hand. "Go tell him to get up, I never told him to kneel."

"If you won’t let him see Little Ai, how’s he supposed to stand up?" Nan Baihao grumbled, his tone extra heavy. "What you’re doing is really rotten! You’re clearly just breaking up a pair of lovebirds!"

"Good thing Wubai was raised by me." Gu Shaocheng set the book down and tossed out a line full of hidden meaning.

Rough-and-tumble Nan Baihao didn’t get it. "What do you mean?"

"Otherwise we’d really have two Sillies on our hands!" Gu Shaocheng shot back without mercy.

This time Nan Baihao finally understood, and jumped to his feet. "You always find ways to call me names. What, I can’t raise a smart son? Look how outstanding my Wubai is—eh, wait, how is he ’raised by you’? What, I didn’t teach him anything? That gun skill of his and that great physique, I taught all of that!"

Gu Shaocheng didn’t even bother responding and had already walked out.

Nan Baihao muttered and whined behind him as he followed out of the courtyard, and saw Gu Shaocheng walk up to Wubai. Looking down at him, he said, "Trying to pull a pitiful act in front of me? If you want to kneel, go kneel at the sanatorium. Get out of my sight."

Zun Zun’s lips parted slightly; he wanted to speak but swallowed it back. Sure enough, the move he’d fantasized about for years didn’t work at all.

Wubai refused to give up. "Dad, let me see Little Ai. Just let me see her once, just once."

Standing behind Gu Shaocheng, the corner of Nan Baihao’s eye twitched. He thought, you still haven’t gotten it—he’s telling you to go kneel at the sanatorium. But then he felt cowardly and didn’t want to remind his son. What’s a grown man doing kneeling to beg a woman to come out? It’s just a woman. It’s not like Wubai has treated Little Ai badly. Anyway, Nan Baihao felt an inexplicable irritation in his chest and started blaming Little Ai in his heart: this little girl is really clueless, what’s the point of running away from home? Can’t she just behave herself while she’s heavily pregnant? She has to stir up all this drama and put his Wubai through the wringer. A girl like that, if she marries in, who knows how she’ll torment Wubai in the future.

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he felt!

Worst case, he’d just introduce a few other sensible girls to Wubai. Nan Baihao’s face tightened as he silently made plans.

Wubai still refused to get up. With a wave of his hand, Gu Shaocheng said, "Throw him out, he’s an eyesore."

Zun Zun immediately stepped in front of the guard, thinking his dad really had a heart of stone. "Dad, you’re going too far. Wubai’s been kneeling for two days, what more do you want? Wubai has never wronged Little Ai. He was about to propose to her, and you hid her away so he couldn’t propose, and now he can’t even see her. What are you trying to do?"

Gu Shaocheng shot him a look. Zun Zun refused to back down. "I’m pissed and I’m still going to say it, because this really is too much. What exactly did Wubai do wrong? That Little Ai is annoying to begin with—any man would get fed up with her! So they had a little fight, how does that make it your turn to step in? A few days ago you were still saying you don’t interfere in the younger generation’s love lives. Back in the day you and my mom never fought? Never had conflicts?"

Finally, Gu Shaocheng loosened up and said, hating iron for not becoming steel, "If he wants to see her, make her come out on her own. Call her. Convince her yourself."

"She won’t pick up." Wubai’s voice was very low.

"Then write her a letter."

"Pft..." Zun Zun almost spat out laughing. "Who even writes letters anymore? Okay, okay, don’t look at me like that, I can’t take it. A letter, you hear me, Wubai? He’s telling you to write a letter."
