A good wife is clever and resourceful; what more could a husband ask for?

  After failing to get help from his mother, Gu Bei Chen became even more determined not to marry Ye Shuang Shuang. It's just that she's not yet of legal marriage age, this small matter can't defeat him. Now, the only thing he worries about is whether this still immature little girl can take on the responsibility of being a mother.

  It turned out that his worries were completely unnecessary. At least for now.

  Xiao Xiao's room was just diagonally opposite the study, and since the door was ajar, you could also faintly hear the movements inside from the corridor.

  In Gu Bei Chen's memory, Xiao Xiao hadn't been this happy in a long time. Sometimes, age and experience are just fleeting clouds; what matters is that they fit together well.

  Actually, Ye Shanshan didn't do anything. She just sat quietly on the side watching and smiling as she drew, but was able to make Xiao Fei's smile brighter than ever before.

  "What are you painting?" Gu Bei Chen gently pushed open the door and asked softly.

  "Dad." Xiao Xiao, who had just finished adding the final touches to her painting, excitedly ran up to him with a big smile on her face, "Look, I've finished this one. Isn't it beautiful? Am I great?"

  This painting was Xiaoxiao's first art homework after starting elementary school, back then, there were only her and dad. Now, there is one more person beside her.

  "Who is this?" Director Gu asked with a hint of malice, knowing full well.

  "Is it really Aunt Sasa? Didn't I draw it to look like her?" Little Ya was a bit hurt, she had already drawn all the characteristics, how could Dad not recognize it?

  Gu Bei Chen smiled but didn't speak, his eyes involuntarily looking at Ye Shuang Shuang whose eyes flickered with unease. Although she had said "I don't mind" without hesitation last night, it would probably still take some time for her to calmly accept this fact.

  Ye Shanshan hastily avoided the leader's gaze, took over the family portrait and put on a serious expression of appreciation, "Xiao Xiao drew it very well, your father didn't take a close look."

  "After I'm gone, take care of Xiao Xiao for me." She wanted to escape, but Gu Bei Chen wouldn't let her have her way. His time at home was limited, and he had to make the most of it.

  "I... will take good care of her." Although it was a gentle and soft voice, to Ye Shanshan, his words always carried an oppressive tone like military orders, and responding obediently was her instinctive reaction.

  "Even smiling is also..."

  "Got it, I'll listen to Aunt Xiangxiang obediently." The little girl reacted really quickly, not even waiting for her dad to finish speaking before responding.

  At this moment, a word suddenly flashed through Gu Beichen's mind: perfection. A virtuous wife and a clever daughter, what more could one ask for?

  "Dad, now there's one more person waiting for you. Don't come home only once every half year from now on, okay?" However, the current situation is still far from the perfection that little Xiaoxiao wants. Having a mom is good, but it's been such a long time since she saw her dad, and this is always the biggest pain in her heart.

  Ye Shanshan's hand, which was helping Xiao Xiao collect her painting tools, paused for a moment. This little girl, where did she get so many thoughts?

  Gu Bei Chen's reaction was silence. Some things were not within his control, and he didn't want to make promises to Xiao Xiao that he couldn't keep.

  The little girl was a bit unhappy, Ye Shan Shan comforted her, "Smile, dear, Daddy's work is different from others, there are many people waiting for him to protect them, you will understand, right?"

  "Little woman, wouldn't you be delighted if I only came home once a year?" Gu Bei Chen slightly furrowed his brow and muttered to himself.

  Smiling wryly with a discontented face: "Auntie, you should be on my side! Don't you ever think of Father after he left?"

  Ye Shanshan regretted it so much that she wished she could slap herself twice, saying "You're too talkative, and now you've been turned against!"

  She thought that keeping quiet would get her out of this problem, but unexpectedly, the little girl had no intention of letting her off, "Ah, you really don't want to?"

  Ye Shanshan now has a mind to crash into the wall, this child, is really only six years old?

  "Also... I will think about it. However... I know he has difficulties, so... I will be considerate." Xiao Xiao kept looking at her with that expectant gaze, and Ye Shanshan could only do as she wished.

  Xiao Ya Tou was overjoyed, holding her father's hand with one hand and Shanshan Auntie's hand with the other, "Xiao Xiao will no longer be a child without a mother."

  This innocent and childish voice completely cut off all of Ye Shanshan's retreats. For the rest of her life, she would probably have to surrender to this father-daughter pair.

  Ye Shanshan accompanied Xiao Xiao for an afternoon, and the little girl became more and more attached to her. After dinner, she and Gu Beichen went to keep watch with Grandpa, and the little girl insisted on following them together. Her reason was also very sufficient: Auntie's grandfather is her great-grandfather, and she also wants to go and show filial piety. Moreover, tomorrow is Sunday, and she doesn't have to go to school.

  The head of the family did not express his opinion and gave all the decision-making power to 'the child's mother'.

  Xiao Yatou spoke with a sincere heart, and Ye Shanshan couldn't bear to refuse. "Why don't you go give Grandpa Ta a bow and then head back home?"

  Just as I was about to ask Dad for help, what I saw was a serious and cold face, and in the end, he could only reluctantly agree, "Okay."

  City G is not Ye Shanshan's hometown, and there are almost no relatives here. Those who came to mourn were all old comrades of Grandpa's former work unit.

  However, unexpected things always happen when one is least prepared. Just after sending off the first group of elderly men, two people that Ye Shanshan did not expect appeared in front of the mourning hall.

  "Shan Shan, something big happened and you didn't even tell me!" The speaker was Ning Ziyan, Ye Shan Shan's university classmate and employer. The Ning family was a well-known aristocratic family in G City, and the young lady of the Ning family had been kidnapped before, so they hired Ye Shan Shan to protect her while she was in school.

  "I..." Ye Shanshan really didn't know how to explain it. Ziyan had always been good to her, and at this time, she didn't want to trouble him.

  "Second Mistress, please pay your respects in the main hall first." In the end, it was still Gu Beichen who stood up to help her out of the awkward situation.

  "Who... who is he?" Ning Ziyu only then noticed that beside Shanshan was standing a military brother over 185cm tall. Wow, still a colonel!

  Mr. Gu politely extended his hand to the well-dressed man beside the little girl, "Hello, I'm Gu Beichen."

  "Hello, I'm Ning Zihanshan. This is my sister Ning Ziyanshe. She and Shanshan are classmates."

  Two hands gently clasped together, yet collided with a powerful killing intent!

  Men generally don't make judgments based on intuition, but occasionally a flash of insight can be fatal. Ning Jia's gaze at Shanshan was so strange that he should not just be her classmate's brother.

  "Excuse me... what is the relationship between Director Gu and Shanshan?" Ning Ziyu's attention was all on the tall, handsome, and extraordinary Director Gu. She had known Shanshan for so long, but had never seen this person before. There must be some ulterior motive behind this.

  Gu Bei Chen did not answer immediately, but instead looked at Ye Shanshan beside him as if seeking her opinion, feeling that she was more suitable to answer this question.

  By the way
