The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 86 - Who Still Believes in Child Marriages? 1

Gu Xin chuckled, his steady voice coming through the phone, “I should be the one saying that. You’ve lost weight since last year. Is graduate school tough?”

Graduate school…

A shadow passed over Gu Xiaoai’s eyes. She hadn’t even attended a proper university; she was sent to help at the Magazine Publisher by her aunt after vocational school, never having the chance to pursue further studies.

“Yeah, grad school is really tough. All those books are exhausting,” she said playfully, masking her moment of sadness.

“This child…” Gu Xin laughed indulgently, “It’s good for girls to read more books, so they won’t be easily deceived by boys.”

Deceived? More like completely taken advantage of!

Gu Xiaoai thought silently, noticing the newspaper in his other hand. “Dad, do you read newspapers here too?”

A shadow flickered in Gu Xin’s eyes.

Flattening the newspaper, Gu Xin joked over the phone, “Of course, I have to keep up with current events, or I’d turn into a caveman here.”

Gu Xiaoai was amused, but her smile faded when she saw the full-page report on Chu’s Company.

“Dad, Chu’s Company has moved its headquarters to C City, and Ah Xiu is getting engaged.”

“Really? Their business just keeps growing.”

“Yeah, it does.”

“Ah Xiu is getting engaged? You two had a child marriage agreement when you were little.”

“Dad… who still believes in child marriages these days?” Gu Xiaoai said with a smile, though there was a deep bitterness in her expression.

“Never mind them. I’ll find you a good man when I get out.”

“Okay. I’m waiting for that, someone as good as you, Dad.”

“Oh, that’s a tall order…” Gu Xin sighed wistfully.

Father and daughter shared a smile through the window, their visit filled with warmth and laughter.

After handing over the supplements and some money to Gu Xin, Gu Xiaoai slowly walked out of the prison.

“Yes, yes, I understand, Mr. Li…” The driver was on the phone in front of the car. Seeing Gu Xiaoai come out, he quickly ended the call and approached with a respectful nod. “Miss Gu, shall we head back to C City now?”

“Yes.” Not interested in what he had reported to Li Juefeng, Gu Xiaoai nodded coldly, opened the car door, and got in.
