The Sweetest Medicine

“Dad…”

Gu Shuling looked at Gu Chen like she was floating on the sea and she had suddenly caught hold of a lifesaver.

She rushed over quickly, knelt down at his feet, and said pitifully, “I only want Fang Zhihan. Dad, can you help me? If you say something, he will definitely listen to you. If you tell him to see me, he will not refuse.”

“Even if I do that, nothing will change between the two of you. I am a man. I understand how heartless a man can be,” Gu Chen said coldly.

“But if I don’t try and don’t fight for it, I’m afraid I may regret it in the future. Dad, help me,” Gu Shuling cried.

Gu Chen was not moved, “…Ling Ling, you should look ahead. You should find a man that treats you well.”

The rejected Gu Shuling immediately cried painfully.

At that moment, she noticed a knife on the fruit platter. All of a sudden, she grabbed it like she had lost her mind and placed it up to her neck. In desperation, she said, “Dad, I really love him so much. If there is no way to be with him, then I’d rather die.”

As she spoke, she looked determined to stab herself.

Gu Chen immediately grabbed her hand, snatched the knife away, and said angrily, “You are actually willing to lose your life over a man? Fang Zhihan is a cold and ruthless man. How is he worth dying over?”

Gu Shuling hugged Gu Chen’s leg and wept bitterly as she buried her face into it, “Sorry, Dad. Sorry…”

Seeing that she was willing to lose her life for love, Gu Chen was reminded of him and his first wife, Xiao Yan.

Back when he pursued her, he was equally crazy. But, in the end, Xiao Yan was moved by him and agreed to marry him.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yan was not in good health…

And their love story ended.

Everyone lost control at some point because of admiration and love.

After all, true love was impossible to control.

Gu Chen sighed, “Ling Ling, are you sure?”

Gu Shuling sobbed sadly and said, “Yes, Dad. Help me. Besides, Yanyu is almost back. You don’t want her to marry Fang Zhihan anyway, so the best choice is to have him marry me!”

She wanted Fang Zhihan desperately!!

No matter what she had to do, she was going to get this man. Gu Chen doted on her. If she tried to kill herself, there was no way that Gu Chen would disagree.

As expected, Gu Chen gave up in the end, “OK. But, remember, this will be the last time. If you don’t succeed, you will have to go on blind dates. I will arrange the best men for you.”

“Thank you, Dad,” Gu Shuling immediately pushed herself up and wrapped her arms around Gu Chen. She stopped crying and said obediently, “Dad, you are so good to me. Even though we aren’t blood-related, we treat each other like biological father and daughter.”

“Of course, you are my daughter.”

Even though they weren’t related by blood, their relationship was real.

Perhaps, he treated her like Xiao Yu’s substitute at first because he missed his daughter. But, now that so many years passed, he already thought of her as his real daughter.

She was considerate, sensible, and respectful to him. Even though there was no blood relationship, in her heart, he was her biological father.

That’s why she threw herself in front of him during an accident.

She had saved his life.

She wasn’t just his daughter by name, even if she was a stranger, even if Xiao Yu returned, Ling Ling was still his daughter.
