Chapter 17 Expert at Tricking Kids, No Age Is Off Limits

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze. Gu Xu’s eyes shifted uneasily, his lips trembling. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say. It was incredibly awkward!

He just wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in. But why was the ground so flat around him?

Xiao Xiao also looked up to the sky in speechless frustration. She silently complained in her heart.

Who made her dad sleep in every morning…

And now, this public execution, right?

And in front of all the live stream viewers…

The online audience was loving every moment.

“Xiao Xiao: This old dad, whoever wants him can have him! I can’t afford to lose this kind of person…”

“Hahaha, you’re too funny upstairs!”

“This is honestly killing me! Gu Xu’s unreliability is well known…”

“Gu Xu really isn’t that good-looking after three seconds! He’s back to his real self in a snap!”

“Gu Xu: I’ll be forever grateful… Already socially dead, don’t disturb!”

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was lively!

The screen was full of comments mocking Gu Xu…

…

On the drive home, Xiao Xiao sat in the child seat. Every now and then, she glanced at Gu Xu, who was driving.

Gu Xu, through the rearview mirror, said helplessly, “Just say what you want to say.”

“You’ll make yourself sick from holding it in.”

Xiao Xiao had no words.

She pouted and sincerely suggested, “Dad, don’t forget about the promise you made to Teacher Zhang!”

“You have to keep your word…”

“If you’re late again tomorrow, really…”

By the end, Xiao Xiao’s voice grew quieter.

Gu Xu cleared his throat twice and said firmly, “Of course!”

“When have I ever lied to you?”

“Am I someone who doesn’t keep promises?”

Seeing her dad trying to act like usual, Xiao Xiao felt inexplicably exhausted.

Dealing with adults these days is just too hard!

It’s so difficult for me!

Xiao Xiao propped her chin in her hands.

She gave her dad a… “I can’t deal with this anymore” look while watching his performance.

Gu Xu, however, didn’t notice the little one’s change in mood.

He continued speaking.

“Do you remember the gift I bought for you on your last birthday?”

“I almost emptied my secret stash of money for it…”

“It cost several thousand!”

“Your mom didn’t want me to buy it.”

“But I bought it anyway, despite the pressure…”

The more he spoke, the prouder he became. He continued driving, holding his head high. It was like a peacock showing off its feathers!

…

The comments were flying by quickly.

“Gu Xu can actually keep his word, even with kids.”

“I’m just curious, what did he buy?”

“Yeah, yeah! Several thousand! What did he buy?”

“Come on, keep talking! I’m dying to know what it is…”

“Could it be that Gu Xu is whipped by his wife?”

…

Many of the viewers were incredibly curious about the gift. After all, a gift worth several thousand is no small matter. That was some serious pampering for a kid!

The cameraman, sitting beside them, also looked at the father and daughter curiously. Unable to suppress his curiosity, he weakly asked, “What gift did you buy? What’s worth all that money?”

Gu Xu’s smile was so wide, it nearly reached the sky.

He said proudly, “It was a PS5!”

The cameraman let out a sound of understanding. But soon, his confusion grew even more. He realized that Xiao Xiao was still under 6 years old!

Giving this gift was a bit inappropriate, right?

She couldn’t even use it!

And Xiao Xiao probably couldn’t even hold the controller properly!

Was he sure she could even use it?

As the cameraman glanced up, he saw the smug look on Gu Xu’s face. Instantly, it dawned on him. This wasn’t a gift for Xiao Xiao at all. This was purely a gift for himself!

The cameraman clicked his tongue and gave Gu Xu a speechless look. This guy really had an addiction to tricking his kid!

The live stream audience quickly caught on too!

“Hahaha, I’m seriously dying laughing!”

“Gu Xu is definitely a trickster, even tricking his own kid…”

“No wonder Mi Jie didn’t let him buy it, tsk tsk!!”

“Gu Xu’s face is as thick as a wall, seriously!”

“Haha! I’ve seen unreliable people, but never like this!!”

“Xiao Xiao is seriously struggling!”

“Gu Xu blatantly bullies his kid, too much! Hmph!!”

…

The audience was nearly in tears from laughing at Gu Xu’s outrageous actions!

This was truly a masterpiece!

Gu Xu was an absolute pro at tricking kids!

When he went out to eat good food behind Xiao Xiao’s back, that was one thing…

But to buy a birthday gift for his kid, and it turned out to be something he liked…

That was really hard to justify!

In the studio, seeing Gu Xu shamelessly boast about it, Yang Mi sighed while covering her face!

This husband…

He really shouldn’t be kept!

Doing such unreliable things…

And then shamelessly showing off like this!

She was truly speechless!

Xiao Xiao, upon hearing her dad’s words, sulked, looking at Gu Xu with a resentful expression.

With a face full of accusation, she said, “Dad, how do you have the nerve to say that?”

“When you bought this, you swore up and down it was a router…”

“You tricked both me and mom for so long!”

“Then one day, I accidentally discovered…”

“You were secretly playing with it…”

The live stream audience was almost bursting with laughter!

Gu Xu was seriously something else!

He was deceiving from both sides…

And then, he got caught!

Even the hosts He and Wang Bingbing in the studio couldn’t hold back their laughter!

It was truly hilarious!

Yang Mi tried hard to keep a serious face.

But hearing the laughter from all around. She was really both angry and amused at the same time!

Gu Xu was truly a character. He knew the live stream was on…

And yet, he just said all that without a care. It left her at a complete loss for words!

If Gu Xu were there beside her, Yang Mi would really want to kick him a couple of times to vent her frustration!

The cameraman, after hearing Xiao Xiao’s explanation, looked at Gu Xu in disbelief.

His eyes seemed to say.

Is this really what a person does?

Xiao Xiao crossed her arms.

She shot her dad a hard glare!

“Dad, you’ve gone too far!”

“That was my birthday gift!”

“You’re just bullying a child!”

Gu Xu, still smug, shook his head.

Seeing the atmosphere get tense,

The cameraman helplessly glanced at Gu Xu.

“Mr. Gu, this is just too much, isn’t it?”

“Not even a little kid is off limits for you…”

“Seriously…”

The cameraman dug deep into his mind, Trying to come up with an appropriate word to describe Gu Xu.bAfter a long pause, he could only sigh in resignation.

Xiao Xiao pouted, her face full of dissatisfaction, and said, “Dad is such a trickster!”

“Always fooling me, so unfair!!”

Gu Xu pretended not to hear their words at all.

He followed the principle—as long as I’m not embarrassed, it’s everyone else who is!

His thick skin was truly beyond belief!

The car slowly moved forward.

After about a minute of silence, Gu Xu, with quick eyes, noticed a small stall selling grilled sausages nearby. His eyes shifted mischievously. He clumsily tried to change the topic.

“Do you guys want to have some grilled sausages?”
