“So yes or no?” He wasn’t sure why he was keen on an answer.
She laughed a little, “Except for plucking my dad, you’re the first.”
At the mention of her father, her eyes lit up, rubbing in more softness. Apparently sinking into memory, she tilted her head and spoke in a rambling manner, “When I was a child, I loved it when my dad would take me to bed. My dad liked to sleep a lot, my mom couldn’t do anything about him, and could only often instigate me to pull my dad’s beard. My dad has always been accustomed to me, never train me, was I wake up, often are laughing, immediately get up. My mom said that I was my dad’s nemesis, perhaps in a previous life he was his lover.”
Lan Yu Feng didn’t answer, just sank his eyes to look at her closely, his eyes rubbing a complex and inexplicable light.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” She asked him as she stopped talking, noticing his gaze.
“You loved your father very much?”
“Sure.”
He looked at her calmly, “If one day you were asked to choose between your biological father and your adoptive father. Who would you choose?”
“Will this day ever come?” At least, she never thought about it. “If that day ever comes, I’ll still choose my dad. I love him, and kinship has nothing to do with blood. It’s just a shame …”
At the mention of this, Zige’s complexion slightly sank a few notches. A look of preoccupation.
“Unfortunately what?”
“I haven’t been able to contact my dad for a long time. When I go back this time I want to go to the construction site and look for my dad, and I want to bring Little Bean to him as well.”
Lan Yu Feng looked at her face covered in sadness, sat up from the quilt, and took her by the arm, “I’ll accompany you.”
“Looking for my dad?” Her eyes brightened a bit.
“Uh-huh.” Lan Yu Feng nodded.
Since Meng Yuhui loves his daughter so much, if she is even missing, I am afraid that she has really been killed.
Hearing him say that he would accompany her, Zige was filled with joy, having him there would make her heart a little more solid. She didn’t know how she had become dependent on him in just a few days.
It was still early in the day when they returned to the country, and when the two arrived home, the children were still at school and had not returned.
Zige went to the bathroom to shower first, and when she came out, she met Lan Yu Feng. He was sitting in the hall, watching the financial news on TV. Zige just stood on the second floor, propped up on the alabaster railing looking at the back of his head, “Lan Yu Feng.”
She called to him softly, a hint of pleasure in her voice.
He turned his head slowly and looked at her stoically.
“Let’s go pick up Little Bean from class together today, okay? I haven’t told him that we’re arriving home today. So let’s surprise him together!”
She spoke with gusto, and as if infected by her emotions, Lan Yu Feng also raised his lips slightly.
“Good.”
A baby, a daddy, a mommy, it really seemed, it seemed like the perfect family.
Two people, standing in front of the school, waiting in silence for their children to appear. Like every young couple, they waited in anticipation. He stood in the crowd, not to mention the inconvenient legs attracted attention, but also that body temperament and handsome face, also let a side of young mothers and lead the child out of the teacher frequently side-eye.
Feeling the envious gazes that were thrown at her, Zi Ge couldn’t help but lose a bit of a smile. Giving him a sideways glance, she saw that his face couldn’t be more calm, as if he hadn’t noticed such stares. This man, is always calm and unperturbed.
“Am I that good looking?” He suddenly turned his face sideways, his eyes meeting hers.
Not expecting him to notice, Zi Ge froze for a moment, then blushed slightly and poutingly whacked him on the shoulder, “You’re so thick-skinned.”
She didn’t realize how much she was flirting with her lover with such a small gesture. Nor did she realize that her voice was soft and sticky like a pet.
Lan Yu Feng, however, smiled and reached out to hold her hand in his. The warmth wrapped around the small hand, and Zige had the illusion that they were really a couple.
“Daddy, Mommy!” Suddenly, the child’s voice suddenly came from the crowd. Both Zi Ge and Lan Yu Feng looked over towards the child, and when she saw the child, where was there anyone else in her eyes? Without hesitation, she jerked her hand away and trotted all the way towards the child.
Looking at the empty palm, then at someone not far away who was holding the child in his arms, Lan Yu Feng narrowed his eyes. So now he was abandoned? When the child was with her, both people only had each other in their eyes, and he could completely act as a transparent person.
There is something really bad about that feeling!
In the car, he got in the driver’s seat first and backed the car out of the parking lot.
Zige held the child and pulled open the backseat door to sit in. Lan Yu Feng had already bent over and pushed open the passenger door, “Come sit in the front.”
“But I want to sit with the baby.” Ziggy had a reluctant look on her face.
Lan Yu Feng’s face was as black as a pot sticker. What kind of expression was that on her face? It was as if he was now breaking up their mother and son.
“Sit here with the kids.”
He patted the passenger seat.
“But won’t it block your view?”
“No.”
Little Douzi hugged Zi Ge’s neck and laughed happily, covering her little mouth and biting her mommy’s ear, “Mommy, Daddy’s become so clingy.”
“Hmm?” She looked at the child.
“It used to be that Daddy wouldn’t let people sit in the front, Daddy said it was the least safe there.” The child whispered his grievances. He wanted to sit in the front, but Daddy just wouldn’t allow it. On this point, he has a deep resentment …
“That’s the look on Daddy’s face when he loves you.”
“That’s why Daddy’s gotten so clingy now. Daddy must want to sit with Mommy.”
Ziggy lost her smile, “Little Ghostbuster, where did you come to that conclusion?”
Watching the big one of them whispering, himself being completely isolated, Lan Yu Feng sank his eyes, “Hurry up.”
“Got it.” Zige held the child obediently and sat down on the passenger side.
Little Douzi’s tiny body was sitting on her lap, Lan Yu Feng glanced at them, and while bending over to fasten the seatbelt for both mother and son, he asked, “What was that whispering about?”
Uh …
Ziggy hurriedly shook her head, “Nothing.”
“Lying to your children’s faces, that’s how you raise them?”
Ziggy was once again speechless.
This man! Always a sentence that could choke her speechless.
“Honestly.” He spoke faintly, as he started the engine sharply.
“You really want to hear it?” Ziggy gave him an uncertain look.
He didn’t make a sound.
Little Bean had reached out his little hand to cover Mommy’s mouth, “Don’t say it, Mommy, Daddy will be embarrassed.”
Ziggy lost her smile.
In fact, he was really quite strange to see how embarrassed Lan Yu Feng was.
It was fine if the kid didn’t say that, but when he did, he got more excited.
“What can you say to embarrass me?” He was rather unimpressed.
Ziggy pulled down the child’s hand over her mouth, coughed, and said honestly, “Little Bean says … you’re getting very clingy now.”
Sticky?
He gave a sideways glance, asking for reason with his eyes.
Zige looked at Little Douzi with her eyes downcast, signaling Little Douzi to speak. Little Douzi had the feeling of being forced to speak. Flirting with daddy would probably kill him, wouldn’t it? Maybe a one-month ban from stepping foot in the pool, like last time.
“Why don’t you say something?” After a long time of waiting for someone to speak, his eyes swept over again.
Little Douzi shrunk himself into Mommy’s arms, and spoke with numbness: “Daddy used to not allow people to sit in the front, but now that Mommy’s here, he lets us sit in the front. Daddy … just wants to sit with Mommy. Daddy this is not sticking to mommy?”
The kid said it all.
Zi Ge had thought that he would definitely retort, but, looking sideways, he looked at the child and couldn’t even speak for a long time. Touching the line of sight she cast over, he actually showed a few rare moments of discomfort. In the middle of the day, he coughed awkwardly, turned his face back, and rebuked the child, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Zige smiled at once, and there was as if something was slowly blooming in her heart, strangely beautiful. This trip to Moscow, changed, is not only her?
In the carriage, silence fell for a long time without words. Until, Little Douzi’s tender childish voice sounded again.
“Mommy, Little Bean is going to miss you guys! Did you guys bring me a present?”
Zi Ge’s heart was sweet to hear, “Of course it is. Your daddy personally picked it out for you, so thank daddy.”
Looking at Lan Yu Feng, Zi Ge intentionally pointed out his intentions.
He always spoke infrequently, and it was the same between him and the child. I remember when he first lived in the house, he was even more distant from the child. It was much improved now, but the child and he were in the end not as close as usual.
Yet, she couldn’t be more clear about his intentions for the child.
“Thank you daddy.” Little Douzi thanked him obediently. Lan Yu Feng glanced at him and gazed deeply at Zi Ge before returning to the child, “No need.”
“But Daddy doesn’t even love Little Bean and only takes Mommy when he goes out.” Little Bean had a resigned look on her face.
Lan Yu Feng looked at Zi Ge. Zige hurriedly explained for him, “How could daddy bring Little Douzi a gift if he doesn’t love Little Douzi?”
“But …” Little Bean tilted her head and nuzzled her mouth, “Daddy obviously likes Mommy more, and Daddy only takes Mommy to play.”
Zige’s pretty face was slightly red, and she simply didn’t know how to answer. Looking towards Lan Yu Feng, he simply said, “Daddy that’s work, not play.”
“Can Mommy help Daddy work?” Little Bean stubbornly continued to ask. It felt really bad to be left behind, and he wasn’t going to be bluffed by two adults. But he was happy that Daddy liked Mommy.
“Can’t help Daddy with his work, but have you forgotten that Mommy is a nurse? Mommy can take care of Daddy’s legs.” Ziggy picked up.
So it is.
Little Douzi was then relieved. Nodding his little head, he said, “Okay then, then next time Daddy brings Mommy, and then bring Little Douzi along, okay?”
Zige looked at Lan Yu Feng. Lan Yu Feng nodded, “Ask your mommy. When she’s free, we’ll take you to Disney.”
The child then turned his face to look at her and waited for her decision.
Zige couldn’t say what it felt like now, as if a real family was discussing plans for an outing. It made her can’t help but remember when she was a child with her parents …
For a moment, some intoxication.
“Mommy has to go back to work soon, so I’ll decide on a time with you when Mommy confirms it.” She said to the little bean.
Little Bean answered happily.
The whole carriage was a joyful and indescribably cozy place.
Two big and two small, going to the restaurant to eat together. Seeing Lan Yu Feng, the manager immediately greeted him respectfully, “Mr. Lan, welcome welcome welcome.”
Another glance at Ziggy and the child following him. He didn’t recognize them, just nodded slightly in greeting.
“Mr. Zuo has come to make a reservation, you come with me.”
The manager welcomed the trio towards the vip box.
