Chapter 270: Chapter 171 She Playfully Calls Him Daddy

Gu Qingchen and Bei Ran returned home, it was already past two in the morning.

He lifted Bei Ran out of the car and back into the house, placing her on the sofa, "Wait for me, I’ll run a bath!"

"Actually, I’m not that delicate," Bei Ran said, smiling.

Gu Qingchen simply stood up and went to the bathroom. After filling the bathtub with water, he came over to lift her up.

The light blue dress was no longer the color of the sky; it had instead taken on the scent of soil.

But this man, who always had a penchant for cleanliness, didn’t mind at all, instead treating her like a precious treasure in his embrace.

He lost his patience dealing with her dress and tore it apart with his powerful hands.

Bei Ran was stunned: "Qingchen, if this were an emergency at the hospital, what would you do with the clothes? Would you tear them too?"

"I would instruct the assistant doctor or nurse to cut them open," Gu Qingchen glanced at her.

"Oh...," Bei Ran nodded, "But Great Doctor Gu, you are being so rough with me... Is it because there are no assistant doctors or nurses around?"

Upon hearing this, the man looked at her with his deep and sharp eyes: "Little thing, who do you think would dare to look at you in your current state?"

Bei Ran submerged herself entirely in the water, only her head sticking out, and she smiled slyly, "My head feels so itchy..."

The man who had never done this before took her shampoo and used his long, bright fingers to wash her long hair.

Bei Ran watched him happily, rarely having enjoyed his services; being served like this felt so refreshing!

It was also the first time for Gu Qingchen to serve a woman in such a manner, but for some reason, he found it quite pleasant.

Her hair was soft and smooth, much like her gentle and docile nature. Although he knew her gentleness and docility were just an act, he still found stroking her hair very comforting.

As he washed her hair, his fingers gently scraped against her scalp, his handling precise. This was the advantage of being skilled with a scalpel, having the ability to touch with the lightness of a feather.

Bei Ran gazed at him intently, his focus in washing her hair was admirable!

After Gu Qingchen rinsed her hair, he let it spread over the water like a black waterfall, soft and pliant, entwining around his heart.

Bei Ran genuinely felt no pain and reveled in the painstaking care he lavished on her.

"Qingchen, who do you think attacked Tian Xin this time?" Bei Ran leaned in the warm water and asked softly.

Gu Qingchen gazed at her as Bei Ran continued, "Tian Xin said she was attacked from behind in the movie theater after answering a client’s call. She didn’t see who it was, but this client has nothing to do with me. I think the attack is unrelated to this client. Later, the attacker used her phone to send me a message. They seem to know me well, aware of my interest in the deaths of the four men from Jiaoyang Club. That’s why they used Tian Xin’s phone to lure me, as I didn’t expect Tian Xin to be drugged. And indeed, I am interested in this case..."

As Bei Ran spoke, she suddenly felt a pang of pain—it was Gu Qingchen who was handling her roughly!

She widened her beautiful almond-shaped eyes to look at him!

"Little thing, haven’t I told you? Stop involving yourself with this case. What, do you take my words as frivolous?" Gu Qingchen’s voice grew colder.

Does she have any idea how scared and anxious he was when he found out she could be harmed?

At this moment, Bei Ran looked at him warily, not talking back but instead apologizing: "Sorry! I’ll be obedient from now on!"

She was also scared she might never see him and the children again when she fell into the trap!

Gu Qingchen’s face turned stern: "If you were really obedient, that would be great! Starting today, you are forbidden to leave the house!"

Is this being grounded?

Even her Father had never grounded her like this!

Of course, she doesn’t have a father!

Seeing she didn’t respond, Gu Qingchen asked, "What? You disagree?"

"I agree!" Bei Ran hurriedly said, "You’re even stricter than my dad!"

Even though she had never seen what her father looked like!

A softness touched Gu Qingchen’s heart; he knew she had no father, and sometimes, she likely had father-complex issues in her heart.

Although his heart ached for her, his tone remained cold: "As long as you behave, I’ll take care of you like my own daughter..."

"Daddy..." Bei Ran cheekily called him...

Gu Qingchen couldn’t help but smile at Bei Ran’s tight, handsome face. Although she was twenty-eight years old and mature in some ways, her heart still yearned for the father she had never met.

"Daddy, you must cherish me!" Bei Ran took the chance to say one more thing.

Gu Qingchen snorted, "Your little mouth..."

It’s quite charming, isn’t it! Bei Ran smiled happily. She was also willing to be his daughter and compete for Daddy’s love with the little fish.

But with her sparkling eyes, she looked at him: "However, Daddy, there are some things a daughter shouldn’t do..."

For instance, in his doctor’s office, what he did to her before they returned just now!

Gu Qingchen tightened his face: "Now is the time for discipline!"

Alright! She obediently shut her mouth, not speaking!

As expected, she knelt in the water, being a quiet and good girl, listening to his lecture.

Gu Qingchen stared at her: "Tell me, if little fish isn’t obedient like this, how would you discipline her?"

"I would reason with her." Bei Ran certainly wouldn’t tell him that she would slap little fish’s tiny bottom!

"Really?" Gu Qingchen snorted, "Just reasoning?"

"Of course!" Bei Ran declared confidently.

"Little thing, lying will get you punished again!" Gu Qingchen stared at her.

Bei Ran immediately nodded: "Really..."

This time Gu Qingchen stepped out, went to the bedroom, fetched a notebook, and read: "July 30th, sunny. I went with my kindergarten friends to play in the stream. After mom found out, she slapped me hard. My little bottom hurts... Later, mom reasoned with me. Playing by the stream is dangerous. I am still young and lack a sense of danger. If I fall into the stream, I won’t be able to see mom and brother again, also my father..."

After listening, Bei Ran felt a bit guilty. She hadn’t expected little fish to keep a diary, and now Gu Qingchen knew about it...

Gu Qingchen closed the diary, placed it on the table, and walked over to her: "You see, as a mother, setting a bad example and lying to kids is wrong, isn’t it?"

At that moment, Bei Ran reached out and embraced his neck: "Are you going to slap me?"

"What do you think?" Gu Qingchen lifted her up, wrapped her in a big towel, ready to take her back to the room to apply medicine.

Bei Ran started to appease him: "I know my mistake! Don’t slap me, okay? Daddy..."

She also imitated a very cute tone of voice, calling out to Gu Qingchen, dragging the last syllable of "Daddy" for a long time...

Gu Qingchen felt soft inside hearing her call like that. Seeing his woman so adorable, he felt she was really good, but there were times when she angered him, he really wanted to give her a couple of slaps!

"This time, considering you’re injured, you won’t be spanked!" Gu Qingchen said, "If you re-offend next time, it’ll be double punishment, how’s that?"

"Okay!" Bei Ran immediately agreed.

He applied medicine to the wounds on her arms and legs, then he also took a quick wash before going to sleep with her.

However, Bei Ran had no intention of sleeping at all.

She dared not bring up the case with him, so she just wriggled in his arms.

Gu Qingchen slept peacefully. Through the dim light, she glanced again at his handsome face. She knew he had to work tomorrow and might have surgery, so she didn’t dare to move.

He wasn’t as free with his job like her. Now that it was the off-season for her, she could easily take leaves.

Thinking about this, she began to feel more sympathetic towards him.

Gu Qingchen stretched out his hand and held hers, "Tell me your opinion on this case?"

"You’re not asleep!" Bei Ran whispered quietly, "You have to go to work tomorrow..."

Gu Qingchen said softly: "Speak!"

Bei Ran had no choice but to say: "That person lured me into the trap with Tian Xin. I think that person’s target was probably me. You would go to my home, see that my phone was left there, and come to find me, but what about Tang Baijin?"

"He was notified by Tian Xin’s phone to go there!" Gu Qingchen said, "I met him on the way there, so we arrived together."

Bei Ran nodded: "You and Baijin, when you arrived, didn’t encounter any other dangers or people targeting us; you rescued Tian Xin and me smoothly. Could this all just be a prank?"

"A prank? I disagree!" Gu Qingchen stated, "That person hung Tian Xin from the tree to skin him, such tactics don’t seem like a prank, I think it’s like..."
