Stay Home Daddy: I Was Reborn After My Daughter Passed Away

Chapter 356: 356 Asura field ah_1

Although more than a month had passed since their previous encounter, the two now met again.

It felt as though everything that had happened before was still vivid in their minds, as if it had occurred just yesterday.

Subsequently, the three of them went to a cafe near the kindergarten to sit down.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chen and Dong Yuwei almost simultaneously ordered an Americano.

Since Tangtang was just a child, Gu Chen helped her order a Mocha Frappuccino.

"Actually, I went to the Chuan University Medical Research Institute again. You weren’t there last time, Yu Wei... you... you’re not thinking of giving up on research, are you?"

Gu Chen asked somewhat apprehensively.

He was a man reborn, very clear about the achievements Yu Wei would eventually make.

In just a few more years, she would lead a team to conquer the persistent problem of leukemia that had always been incurable.

Countless lives around the world would be saved because of this, and in the end, she would even win the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

If it really were because of Gu Chen that Yu Wei’s future deviated from her predetermined life path,

Gu Chen felt that even if he died ten thousand times, it would not be enough to atone for it.

At this moment, Dong Yuwei was unaware of Gu Chen’s thoughts and simply took his concern as genuine, which warmed her heart immediately.

Even the look in her eyes softened considerably as she smiled and said, "After I went home last time, I thought about it a lot by myself and then told my dad that I wanted to live for myself for once."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen felt a jolt in his heart, as he suddenly remembered someone who had said something similar before.

It seems like it was Ji Pianran.

"You’re not running away from home, are you?"

Gu Chen couldn’t help exclaiming in shock, almost spilling his coffee that was beside him.

"Nothing like that..."

Dong Yuwei looked at Gu Chen’s clumsy reaction and couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh lightly.

She hadn’t expected Gu Chen to care so much about her, making her feel even more conflicted at the moment.

"My dad agreed, and then said he would give me three years. Once I make sense of it all, I can go back to help him continue with the research. As for my current self, I guess I’m just on an extended vacation."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen couldn’t help but take a deep breath of relief. As long as Dong Yuwei had not given up on medical research, that was good.

Even if the results might come a few years later than in his previous life, as long as the outcome was positive, that was what mattered.

He had indeed been startled by her earlier words, but now upon reflection,

not all parents were like Ji Guangsheng back in the day. For instance, Professor Dong was quite open-minded when it came to his daughter.

With this thought, Gu Chen’s mood suddenly relaxed, and he couldn’t help but begin to joke with her.

"Actually, Yu Wei, I’ve always had a particularly amazing ability, which is reading faces. I won’t lie to you, the very first time I saw you beneath the building of the Chuan University Research Institute, I knew you were no ordinary person. After making some calculations, I predicted that in the future, you’d definitely win a big prize!"

"Plus, being a kindergarten teacher is really beneath your capabilities. In the future, your achievements will surely attract the attention of the world."

To be honest, Gu Chen genuinely thought Dong Yuwei was a decent person. If they were to be friends, it wouldn’t be such a bad thing, since they had already shared an ordeal of life and death.

As he finished speaking, the smile on Dong Yuwei’s face became even more pronounced.

She thought Gu Chen was just trying to cheer her up by saying those things.

After all, Dong Yuwei was just an unknown researcher at the institute at the moment.

She didn’t take the prediction seriously and even asked playfully,

"Well, I must thank Brother Gu for these auspicious words. But I’m really curious, what kind of big prize will I win in the future, Brother Gu? Could you reveal a bit of my destiny to me, please?"

Gu Chen thought his persuasion had worked, that Dong Yuwei was reconsidering and had thoughts of returning to her research.

Hastily seizing the momentum, he said, "What’s so difficult about that? Yu Wei, you have to believe me, in less than five or six years, you’ll definitely be able to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine. At that time, media from all over the world will come to interview you, and even the person hanging on billboards in the streets will be you."

Dong Yuwei couldn’t help but laugh even more joyously, especially when she saw the dead-serious look on Gu Chen’s face as he spoke.

If she didn’t know that the person he was talking about was herself, Dong Yuwei might have really started to believe him.

However, her mood was clearly much better than before.

She felt that there was some kind of magic about Gu Chen, whenever she was with him.

She was always unconsciously attracted to him, even though he had upset her so much before.

But now, just after meeting him, Dong Yuwei felt that no matter what, she couldn’t stay mad at him anymore.

Looking at the sunny and handsome face before her, scenes of their time together became increasingly vivid in her mind.

Her eyes grew somewhat distant, and then she said to Gu Chen.

"Big Brother Gu, my dad said that if you have time, he would really like to invite you to our house for a visit."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen immediately felt his scalp go numb.

After all, nothing good had ever happened when Dong Yuwei was with him.

First, he had learned about the Xu family’s new drug, Qing Shen Xuelian Pill, from her lips, including its name and effects.

Then he used this information to inflict a heavy blow on Xu Qingmu’s business, and with Professor Dong’s intelligence, it was impossible for him not to guess what had happened.

Furthermore, the Xu family had always been a partner of the Chuan University Medical Research Institute.

They not only entrusted the institute to develop new drugs, but also provided a substantial amount of funding for it.

Now that he had caused the Xu family to go bankrupt, the research institute was likely to be affected as well.

And Dong Yuwei was almost injured by a gang of thugs, and later, in order to save him, they had driven off a cliff together.

After spending an unclear night together, the once obedient girl had suddenly started to live for herself.

When Gu Chen added up all these incidents, he felt that it was already extraordinary that Professor Dong hadn’t personally come to skin him alive.

As for visiting her home one day? Wasn’t that like walking into a trap?

Plus, the man was an internationally renowned medical expert; what if he decided to add something to the food?

Gu Chen reckoned even a Millennium Ganoderma couldn’t save his life then.

Thinking this way, Gu Chen wiped off the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, repeatedly insisting.

"Next time for sure, next time for sure."

However, Dong Yuwei, who was always so clever, didn’t catch the hidden message in his words this time.

She immediately picked up the conversation and said.

"Then it’s settled, Big Brother Gu. Remember to come visit my home sometime, okay?"

Gu Chen, upon hearing this, was suddenly at a loss for words.

He was just being polite, okay?

Refusal, subtle refusal!

How could she not catch the hint?

At that moment, Dong Yuwei had already stood up from her chair and walked over to the little girl, Tang Tang, who was busily slurping Mocha.

Her tone became even gentler as she touched the little girl’s head and said.

"Tang Tang, would you like the teacher to take you to sign up for school? After you’re enrolled, you’ll be able to play with the other kids in the kindergarten every day. So, are you excited?"
