Chapter 236 Part 1
byChapter 236 Part 1: Charlotte: Your Daddy Is the Savior (1)
Tang Liuli looked at Charlotte’s smiling face in a daze, the images before her swayed like shadows, as if she had returned to a distant time, seeing those ocean-like eyes, her lips moved in confusion, softly murmuring:
"Sister Charlotte."
This sentence was mixed with the aroma of wine, making Charlotte feel a little dazed when she heard it.
The Last Diva then showed a brighter smile, putting the gift on Tang Liuli’s delicate wrist while pretending to be serious and pinching her cheek, saying earnestly:
"Now that you call me sister, you can’t refuse my gift."
Charlotte gifted a satin ribbon bracelet, shining beautiful silver, adorned with olive green jewels, perfectly contrasting with the girl’s fair skin and green eyes.
Tang Liuli’s face turned red, she couldn’t understand why she had said such an embarrassing and mortifying thing, calling a bad woman she met for the first time "sister"; it was even more embarrassing than Little Sakura and the golden retriever!
The green-eyed cat was too shy even to puff up her fur, feeling so embarrassed that she simply chose to give up, letting her eyes droop as Charlotte put the bracelet on her, her face burning and feeling strangely comfortable and happy, her defenses completely broken.
The dishes on the table were not all served yet, but Charlotte had already taken care of all her little idols.
Chu Yuanqing quietly watched her friend’s impressive performance and felt no surprise; she was already used to how quickly Charlotte could build relationships, especially with the help of a sense from a previous world line.
Even the cute daughter, who had never met her own mother before, couldn’t help but look at Charlotte with curiosity. She was very interested in why this big sister got along so well with Little Qing and why she gave everyone so many gifts upon their first meeting.
Moreover…
The girl’s eyes sparkled like little stars. Charlotte was truly amazing; she seemed like a character from a fantasy story, her charm even comparable to that of Little Qing when she transformed into a magical girl. Just sitting there, she could draw everyone’s attention.
So mature, so impressive!
Chu Wang Shu thought this might be the potential of a world-class idol. There was no need for extra embellishments; just standing in a crowd made her stand out like a moon high in the sky, the kind of person Chu Wang Shu had always admired and worked hard to become!
The Last Diva’s personal charm was too great.
Although in the cute daughter’s eyes, she still didn’t have a higher favorability rating than Honey Qing, the magical bond of blood was making it rise steadily.
Charlotte quietly watched Chu Wang Shu, and the more she looked, the happier she felt. It was as if something was blooming in her heart. Love and soft feelings filled her chest with warm and tingling sensations, and her mind was filled with little thoughts.
The lovely daughter was very well-behaved while eating. Her sipping of juice was very cute, and her features were neat and delicate. You could vaguely see Chu Yuanying’s youthful charm in her. Her eyes were dark, and her expression was serious and proper, showing that she was a polite child with good upbringing.
Oh, I really want to pick her up and give her a kiss!
The girl intentionally kept her daughter for last. This was her first time being a mother, and she was the same age as her daughter. She felt troubled about what to say to get close to her lovely daughter. With her eyes fixed on her daughter, who was eating pork chop, she radiated a warm motherly glow.
Charlotte quietly watched the girl finish eating, then switched seats with the green-eyed cat to sit closer. She admired the child’s profile for a moment, and just as she was about to say something, she met Chu Wang Shu’s gaze. She suddenly felt a bit shy but couldn’t help feeling happy, greeting her in Daxia language:
"Hi, Little Shu! I’m Charlotte. I spotted you in the crowd today. You were really focused and engaged during your performance. It was so inspiring!"
"By the way, can we exchange contact information? I have so much I want to talk to you about!"
Chu Wang Shu was so flattered by the compliment. She admired Charlotte, and it was just like being told by her idol that her future is bright.
The girl couldn’t even think about why Charlotte wanted to talk to her so much. She quickly took out her phone, excitedly exchanged contact information with her.
Then, the lovely daughter handed over the sun hat she had been holding in her arms. She blinked her big eyes and couldn’t help but ask curiously:
"Why did Sister Charlotte give me the hat at that moment?"
Charlotte was lost in the joy of being called "sister" by her daughter, feeling like she was blessed to always be a 17-year-old beauty. She reached out and pinched her daughter’s cheek, her eyes twinkling as she confidently said:
"Because Little Shu is the cutest one inside, so I immediately noticed you!"
This was not a lie, but the truth: she and Little Qing’s daughter were indeed the cutest!
Chu Wang Shu blushed from the compliment. She tried to keep a straight face, wanting to say that Liuli and Sister Miyuki were cuter than her, but The Last Diva interrupted her thoughts as they moved on to the gift-giving part, placing a jeweled satin ribbon on her wrist.
The only difference from the one on Liuli’s wrist was that the flowers on it were made of sapphires, making it look quite expensive.
"Sister Charlotte, this is too expensive; I can’t accept it."
Chu Wang Shu hesitated for a moment before trying to refuse. Her family was quite poor, and she learned to be very considerate from a young age, feeling completely embarrassed to accept such an expensive gift. Even if it were given by her seniors in the team, she would surely refuse, let alone from Charlotte, whom she was meeting for the first time.
Charlotte puffed up her cheeks. How could a daughter refuse her mother’s love? It was just a ribbon after all. She even wanted to give her lovely daughter a few castles! At that moment, she pouted and covered Little Shu’s small hand resting on her wrist and said something very shocking:
"No way! Little Shu just called me sister, so how can you refuse a sister’s gift? Besides, I know your dad, and we have a great relationship. Little Shu could even call me mom!"
Chu Yuanqing almost spat out the sip of wine she had just taken. She quickly pinched Charlotte’s thigh to warn her not to say such things.
Just kidding! Charlotte was only 17. If she kept talking like this, she would look like a terrible father in Little Shu’s eyes for being too friendly with a minor!
Chu Wang Shu was also confused. Although she sensed something was off, she felt that, from a logical standpoint, her dad and Charlotte were from completely different worlds.
One was a nearly 40-year-old middle-aged office worker living in Donghong Federation.
The other was a minor from the Sacred United Country, who was already famous online, called The Last Diva, a rising star in the idol world.
These two people were worlds apart in every way. Forget about becoming good friends; there were many obstacles just to know each other.
But…
Charlotte was meeting herself for the first time, and the love and joy in her eyes were impossible to pretend. She even took the initiative to prepare a valuable gift for their meeting. If it weren’t for Sister Miyuki, Sister Xie, and Liuli all receiving gifts, she might have thought the other person’s words were very reasonable.
After all, if the other person and Dad were not friends, why would they be so nice to her?
On the other hand, Charlotte had no reason to lie.
You see, idols are usually very sensitive about friendships with the opposite gender. Even if they are not careful, they won’t joke about it, especially since Charlotte was already a national figure in Austria.
If this sentence got out, it could be used by someone with bad intentions and cause a significant negative impact.
Chu Wang Shu hesitated and said,
"Really? But I’ve never heard Dad mention it."
Charlotte completely ignored the nervousness of Honey Qing beside her. Upon hearing this, she automatically translated it to mean "Dad has never mentioned Mom for all these years," and felt a bit sad. Not hearing her daughter call her "Mom" made her even sadder. She moodily pinched her thigh and replied,
"Because Chu Yuanying is a big oaf! He is gloomy and extremely slow, and he doesn’t like to talk. If Little Shu doesn’t ask, he definitely won’t say anything."
Chu Wang Shu was greatly surprised after hearing this. Her dad’s personality really is like that. Could Sister Charlotte really be her dad’s friend? So strange, she always felt something was off!
Kirimi Miyuki stayed silent. She thought this was a family matter and outsiders should not get involved, but deep down, she was curious.
Chu Yuanqing, Chu Yuanying.
So, Little Shu’s dad’s name is just one letter different from Honey Qing’s?
Little Sakura’s heart was suddenly stirred. She looked at Chu Yuanqing and instinctively felt there was an unspoken connection.
Xie Qingxuan was eating an emperor pancake, her soft cheeks puffing out, but her gaze was fixed on the Pure White Witch, noticing the subtle changes in her expression with curiosity.
Tang Liuli’s extraordinary wisdom had already been shown once; at that moment, she didn’t find it strange. She was focused on the wine next to her, her cute little face full of anticipation.
As a wealthy lady with a castle and winery in the trust company, the green-eyed cat had every right to sample some wines early (in her opinion), so she was quietly pouring herself a drink, hoping to give herself a little boost before battling Charlotte.
Yes, this is the golden spirit of a cat who never gives up!
Chu Wang Shu could not hold back her curiosity and asked:
"How did Sister Charlotte meet my dad? Are you sure it’s not a mistake?"
Charlotte didn’t want to lie to her daughter. After thinking for a moment, she said:
"Because your dad is not ordinary. He was once a hero who fought against those monsters on the front lines. He has more experience than when magical girls first appeared; he is truly a hero. It wouldn’t be wrong to call him the savior of mankind."
The Last Diva’s eyes sparkled like water, with colors swirling around her that created a mysterious atmosphere. Her smile did not change, and to add persuasion, she gently snapped her fingers.
Then, the gem ribbon on her lovely daughter’s hand turned into flowing light, pulling her long hair into a ponytail and becoming a beautiful hair accessory.
