Daddy Doesn't Want Me

"Commander Lu, Du Du is what a sensible child—she doesn’t cry or fuss. How could you scare her like that? If you really don’t want her, give her to me. My family is just missing such a sweet and clever daughter."

The voice was a bit loud, drawing the attention of those who hadn’t noticed before. Even Lin Nannan was drawn over. She looked at her daughter, whose tear-streaked face was as pitiful as a kitten’s, and then at Lu Hang’s exasperated expression, and asked curiously, "What’s going on?"

"Daddy doesn’t want me!" Lu Dudu said with a stuffy voice. "He says I’m too dirty!"

Lu Hang twitched his lips, unable to hold back from tapping her little forehead. "Did I say I didn’t want you? I clearly said you were going to get a spanking. Where did you learn such impressive interpretation skills?"

Called out, Lu Dudu turned her head away and fell silent.

Seeing the father and daughter arguing, Lin Nannan gave Lu Hang a scolding look and comforted her daughter, "Daddy loves Du Du the most. It’s just that your little hands are dirty—they can be washed. But you shouldn’t touch your face with dirty hands, or else germs could get into your eyes, nose, or mouth, and your tummy would hurt. Du Du would get sick, and Mommy and Daddy would feel so sad. Understand?"

Lu Dudu’s temper came and went quickly. She muttered, "I want to go home and take a bath…"

"Okay, let Daddy take you back first, alright?" Lin Nannan asked.

More afraid of getting sick than staying upset, Lu Dudu reluctantly nodded, her conflicted and unwilling expression making Lu Hang chuckle despite himself.

But under his wife’s stern gaze, he bit back all his retorts.

Fine, she’s his own daughter. So what if she’s dirty? She’s my own, after all.

"Let’s go home and have Grandma heat water for you. You’re getting a head-to-toe wash!" Lu Hang picked her up and declared.

Lu Dudu pouted defiantly, "Are you still going to spank me?"

Her petty, vengeful attitude left Lu Hang speechless.

"I won’t spank you, but if Grandma and Maternal Grandma see how dirty you are, I can’t promise anything. When I was little and came home this dirty, your grandma’s bamboo pole nearly broke my back," Lu Hang carried her away, warning her.

Lu Dudu’s voice rose in alarm, "Break it?!"

Grandma is so scary!

"Mhmm, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Grandpa!"

Listening to their conversation, Lin Nannan felt like wanting to facepalm…

She had a feeling it wasn’t Lu Dudu who was going to get spanked, but Lu Hang.

Comrade Zhang Xiaofeng would never allow anyone to ruin her reputation in front of her precious granddaughter, so…

Lin Nannan suddenly felt like going home to see what happens.

Little Lu Dudu might seem sweet and compliant, but never underestimate her—she’s full of clever ideas and would definitely tell Grandma.

She wondered what expression Lu Hang would have when he realized his daughter had gotten him in trouble.

Sure enough, when Lin Nannan returned after finishing her work, Lu Dudu was all smiles, having been doted on by Grandma and Maternal Grandma. She was clean from head to toe, clearly having been thoroughly washed.

But after looking around and not seeing Lu Hang, Lin Nannan asked curiously, only to be met with her mother-in-law’s disdain.

"He went to handle something. I told him not to come back tonight," Zhang Xiaofeng said defiantly.

Lin Nannan glanced at her mother-in-law, then at her smiling gleefully daughter, and knew her guess was right—the one who’d gotten an earful and a spanking was Lu Hang.

Lu Dudu really was quite the daughter—specializing in throwing her dad under the bus!

"Mom, Du Du just misunderstood what her dad meant…" Lin Nannan tried to explain, but Zhang Xiaofeng wasn't having it.
