Chapter 2480: Chapter 2480: Was It Really His Fault?
"She is just more independent, not lacking in childishness. She’s only two and a half, and she still likes to play and have her parents accompany her. It’s just that you are too busy and she sees you too little. Over time, naturally you become unnecessary, and it’s difficult to get close."
Bai Zheng stepped forward, walked to the window, and supported his arms on the windowsill, standing side by side with Diwu Zexuan.
Looking at Diwu Zexuan, who stood there dazed, he continued.
"When I wanted to accompany Meimei, God did not give me this chance. So now I am trying every way to make up for it. But you have always had the opportunity to care for your daughter, yet you have wasted it. It seems like Youyou doesn’t like you, but in fact, she just doesn’t like a father who is too busy to ever have time to spend with her and her mom."
Diwu Zexuan was stunned for a long time before squinting his eyes, "Who said this? If Youyou wanted me to accompany her, she wouldn’t be unhappy every time I got close. It’s not that I don’t want to accompany her; it’s that she’s really happy only when I’m not there. She doesn’t need me at all."
When Yu Xiuzhun was initially sent to him, he was indeed very busy. Saving the life of someone on the brink of death isn’t something that can be done casually.
Later, as Yu Xiuzhun’s condition stabilized, Ye Mingmei gave birth to Meimei.
Then came Youyou’s birth. Shortly after Youyou was born, Yu Xiuzhun’s condition deteriorated significantly. He personally went to many primitive jungles to search for rare herbs and was involved in developing new medicines, which delayed a lot of time...
During Youyou’s first year of life, he indeed spent very little time with his daughter.
But later he wanted to make up for it; it’s Youyou who simply doesn’t like him!
As long as he’s not there, Youyou is like a naive and romantic little princess, happy with whoever is around.
Whenever he appears, the atmosphere in the room becomes strange, no matter what he says. Youyou only puffs her cheeks and won’t smile.
Worried about making his little sweetheart unhappy, he showed up less and less.
Eventually, it turned into a mental stereotype, that Youyou would only be happy when he’s not present.
Even he believed this, so no matter how much he missed his daughter, he wouldn’t stay by her side for too long.
If it weren’t for Yu Xiuzhun telling him that Youyou wanted his company, he never would have thought in this direction.
Was it really his mistake?
"You might not believe me, but you can’t not believe Youyou. She’s your daughter; can you really not sense if she truly dislikes you as her dad?"
Bai Zheng turned around, leaned against the windowsill, and smiled slightly.
"I asked her if she wants to grow up and become a powerful doctor like you, and what do you guess Youyou said?"
"... What did she say?" Diwu Zexuan unintentionally held his breath, his body tensed.
Waiting for an answer, as if awaiting a verdict.
Bai Zheng had no intention to tease, he directly raised his head, "She said she doesn’t want to."
"..."
An expected answer, yet inexplicably wrenching, as if stabbed in the heart, bleeding in a place unseen.
Diwu Zexuan’s eyes dimmed, and the hand by his side silently clenched into a fist.
"Don’t you want to know why she doesn’t want to be like you?" Bai Zheng paused for three seconds, looking at the crestfallen Diwu Zexuan, speaking slowly, "Youyou said being a powerful doctor is too busy, there’s no time to accompany one’s own little baby, she doesn’t want to become a villain like daddy."
