Chapter 921
“I don’t care,” Gu Juexi said solemnly . He could not possibly leave right now . His daughter’s condition relied heavily on Master Yao Lao, so he had to stay .
Moreover, nothing mattered compared to his daughter’s life .
Lu Qichuan massaged his forehead frustratedly and said, “Alright, I’ll see what I can do . ” As he was talking, he noticed a lady who walked past him .
“Tan Chenxiao?” Lu Qichuan blurted out in surprise .
Gu Juexi heard the name and asked curiously, “You saw her?”
“Talk to you later,” said Lu Qichuan and ended the call . He ran and grabbed the lady in front of him by her arm .
The lady was wearing a bohemian style long dress, she had long, wavy hair and her face was vaguely shielded by the big sunglasses she was wearing .
When she turned around, he could sense that she was frowning in annoyance .
The lady removed her sunglasses, revealing her delicate and gorgeous face that bore a striking resemblance to Ye Yuwei .
Tan Chenxiao, at the young age of twenty-five, was already a renowned oil painter on the international stage .
Lu Qichuan released his grip slowly and put his hand into his pocket . “Let’s get some coffee, Sichen has been missing you a lot lately . ”

Tan Chenxiao did not turn him down, probably because Sichen’s name was mentioned .
The cafe inside the airport was mostly occupied by travelers who were waiting for their flights . They chose a seat next to the window . Tan Chenxiao retrieved a delicately wrapped box from her bag and said, “It was such a coincidence seeing you here . This is Sichen’s birthday present, please pass it to her . ”
Lu Qichuan lowered his gaze to the box on the table . Their daughter’s fifth birthday was in a month’s time . This woman would deliver a gift every year but she never came back to celebrate her daughter’s birthday with her .
“If you are available, why don’t you consider a trip back to celebrate with her? She misses you dearly all the time . ” Lu Qichuan leaned on the chair and stared at the woman seated across him . The same emotionless and indifferent woman he had not met for many years .
Tan Chenxiao swept a strand of loose hair behind her ear and replied, “I have to go to India and I’m afraid I might not be available . I’ll give her a call when I have the time . ”

She spoke in a relaxed tone, not even the slightest change in her emotion or expression .
Perhaps she had stopped being attracted to him the moment he was assumed as another person .
“I’m sorry for what happened years ago,” Lu Qichuan apologized .
“You needed a substitute, I needed a chance to vent myself, there’s nothing to be sorry about . I have a flight to catch, so goodbye,” Tan Chenxiao uttered in a gentle and flat tone . She got to her feet, grabbed her bag and said, “Please, don’t leave Sichen by herself again, if you can . ”
Lu Qichuan looked at the woman who turned around and walked away . He and the woman were not close to each other as they had only met three or four times in total . However, the mutual closeness between them was there because they had a daughter together .

Perhaps, this was how it felt to be a familiar stranger .
Lu Qichuan picked up the box on the table, opened it and saw a beautiful angel hairpin inside it . He curled his lips and smiled warmly . He kept the box and left the cafe .
Before he embarked on his flight, Lu Qichuan sent a message to Gu Juexi, promising him that he would give him an answer when he arrived home .
Gu Juexi looked at his daughter who had fallen asleep after playing happily . His previous vulnerability was because of Ye Yuwei and this time, it was his daughter .
