For a moment, Special Assistant Lu felt that this matter was too complicated and messy. Even he found it too difficult to accept, understand, and deal with, let alone Master Jue.
What he was most worried about was whether Master Jue was still willing to spend the rest of his life with Young Lady Qiqi.
No man could stand the thought that his woman had once had such a shady deal with someone else, right?
Even if Young Lady Qiqi was a victim!

Gong Jue turned off the communication device.
His face was covered in dark clouds, as if a storm was brewing.
He finally realized that the stupid woman had been feeling uneasy about what had happened four years ago.
He had once prepared for the worst, thinking that Gu Qiqi couldn’t say it because she had a childhood sweetheart in school four years ago.
Although thinking about how her first love wasn’t him would make him so jealous that he would be upset that there was a time in her youth that he had never participated in, what substantial contact could a child have at such a young age?
He had finally convinced himself that he could live with this worst-case scenario.
Unexpectedly, he received such a shocking blow.
She had sold eggs.
The process took hours.
She might have been bullied by a buyer in the middle.
She was only fifteen or sixteen at the time!!!
Gong Jue clenched his fists tightly, and he was about to explode.
“Gong Jue, are you done with your call? Come and have breakfast.”
“Daddy, Big Sister’s salty and sweet pancakes are super, super delicious. If you don’t come soon, I’ll eat it all by myself. Don’t blame me…!”
Behind him, Gu Qiqi’s gentle and soft voice sounded.
Gong Jue took a deep breath again.
He turned around and strode towards the dining table!
Gu Qiqi was still wearing an apron and was busy pouring milk for the little packrat, adding chopsticks, and getting a napkin. When she saw Gong Jue walking over, she helped him add another pair of chopsticks and pulled out a chair…
However, before her hand could touch the chair.
The man’s tall figure had already arrived!
Strong arms immediately wrapped around her and pulled her into an embrace.
Her heartbeat raced!
It beat furiously.
He held her tightly, pressing her into his arms with the force of his chest. His stubbled chin rested on her shoulder.
His voice sounded rough and he choked. “I’m sorry.”
Gu Qiqi was stunned.
What was wrong with this man?
Why… did he suddenly apologize?
She thought that he was still apologizing for not informing her in advance about the explosion at the Hanbei Ridge last night, causing her to worry all night that he was dead.
Her lips pursed slightly. “I’m fine. It’s good that you’re back safely. Nothing else matters. Alright, hurry up and eat. The child is still watching. Cough, cough… Don’t hug me so tightly…”
Her buns were almost deformed by his firm chest.
The little packrat also muttered unhappily, “Daddy, you’re breaking the rules. You’re always secretly taking advantage of Big Sister! You kiss and hug her more than me. It’s not fair! Hmph, I won’t let you eat the pancakes anymore. I’ll eat them all!”
However, Gong Jue did not relax at all.
He said with a nasal voice, “Qiqi, I’m sorry. I didn’t appear in your world earlier. If only…”
If he had known her four years earlier, would she not have been bullied by that damned Gu Qiushan and Gu Meifeng? Would she not have been bullied by an unknown stinky man? Would she not have been drugged to retrieve her eggs?
If he had known her earlier, he would have doted on her and protected her like a treasure. He would never have let her suffer at all.
Not to mention that she wouldn’t have been exploited at the age of fifteen or sixteen.
He would dote on her and cherish her!
He hated himself for appearing too late!
It was his fault that she had suffered so much!
