"Daddy, love you the most... um, can you take me to visit the palace... I've never been to such a big room before."
Listening to the little Lolita refer to the villa as a palace, a trace of heartache flashed through Gu Mochen's dark eyes.
"Hmm? Why do you say that?"
"When I was little, Mommy and I lived in just one room... and then it was a really, really tiny one, just big enough for a bed..."
"Later, Mommy got a better job... and we moved into a slightly bigger room... and then... hehe, we got two rooms."
"By the way, Daddy, Mommy and I also lived in a garage... it was so cold in winter that Mommy had to hold me all the time, just to keep me warm."
The little Lolita spoke of her past hardships with a cheerful smile.
Gu Mochen's thin lips tightened slightly at her words...
"Is that so?"
"Yeah... hehe, so Mommy has always been working hard to earn money, even when she had a jerky boss, but she always endured."
