Entwined by Dawn: The CEO's Relentless Obsession-Chapter 711: About Her Origins 4

Zhang Haiyang reached out and held her in his arms again, gently patting her back.

"Tian Tian, everything I said is true, I didn’t lie to you about a single word. I know it’s hard for you to accept these things all at once, and I also know that for the past twenty years, you’ve been waiting for Mom to come and get you."

"Tian Tian, I understand your feelings, just like all these years, I’ve been longing to find you sooner, see you, cherish you, love you, and be by your side."

"But year after year passed, and I still had no news of you, that sense of helplessness was really hard to bear. Tian Tian, I understand how you feel now."

"Although I’ve never met that uncle, I know he must be the best person in the world."

"Because of him, I was able to see you again!"

How could that father not be her real father?

She still remembers that one cold winter night, with heavy snow falling, she was rolling on the bed in pain from a toothache, and in the middle of the night, Dad carried her on his back and ran to the hospital to see the emergency doctor. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

She also remembers waiting inside the house while the cold wind howled, waiting for Dad to return from the market, and after a long time seeing Dad wrapped in a thick military coat, lips slightly blue, but as soon as he saw her, he showed a warm smile, opened his coat, and took out two fragrant and steaming sweet potatoes from his chest.

She still remembers what Dad said back then.

"Tian Tian, come, eat while it’s hot!"

She remembers even more how when Dad fell ill, he became more frail day by day, lying on the sickbed, and each time he held her hand, asking her again and again not to blame Mom, and to definitely go with Mom.

But she never knew that he was only her adoptive father, just a stranger to begin with.

Yet he treated her so, so well!

In Gu Tiantian’s mind, the image of her father flashed, somewhat blurry, but the tall figure, and the scene at the amusement park when he lifted her high during the acrobatics show, his indulgent and hearty laughter seemed to be ringing in her ears.

"Dad, higher, higher!"

"Alright!"

"Dad, over there, over there, it’s a clearer view!"

"Okay, let’s go over there and watch!"

...

After a long while, Gu Tiantian finally opened her mouth with a raspy voice.

"Dad, he was really, really good. He’s the best dad in the world!"

Zhang Haiyang felt both heartache and sadness, thinking about the uncle who took her in, feeling more gratitude than anything else.

"Yes, he’s the best dad in the world!"

Even though dad and she were not blood-related, to Dad, she was actually just a stranger.

But truly, he was so good to her!

As time ticked by, the brother and sister sat on the sofa, and for a long time, aside from the sound of low sobbing, there was only the ticking of the clock on the wall.

Mrs. Chen stood at the kitchen doorway, looking at the siblings in the living room, her eyes moist.

The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen, but at this moment, the siblings didn’t need it.

Mrs. Chen silently returned to the kitchen, smiling gently.

If Miss Gu really is the Second Miss of the Mu Family, she matches well with the gentleman.

Of course, even if Miss Gu remains just Miss Gu, with the gentleman’s nature, he wouldn’t mind at all.

How wonderful!

This is truly wonderful!

When Gu Tiantian finally calmed down again, half an hour had passed.

The sky outside gradually darkened.

Seeing Zhang Haiyang’s slightly red eyes, Gu Tiantian felt a bit awkward.
