Chapter Twenty-Three: Paying Back

Seeing that Bai Tuantuan was so young, he was sensible enough to know that his mother was preparing a birthday gift, an approving smile appeared on Li Cheng's face, and he didn't know why, he always felt that this little boy was very kind and liked it.

Maybe I want to have children, so I want to go crazy.

He laughed self-deprecatingly.

While letting his subordinates go and buy the gifts he wanted, he picked him up, sat on his lap, and ordered him some desserts.

"The gift you want, my uncle can give it to you, and I don't want you to pay it back in the future."

"Really?"

A happy smile appeared on Bai Tuan's pink face, and he asked happily, and then scratched his head in annoyance.

"However, my mother said that you can't just accept gifts from others, and people can't think about getting something for nothing."

Hearing that he was young, not only sensible and distressed about his mother, but also knew that he couldn't get something for nothing, Li Cheng liked him even more.

"Uncle gives you a gift conditionally, you have to meet your uncle's requirements to do so, so it can't be regarded as unearned, this is the reward you deserve for your efforts."

Feeling that what he said made sense, Bai Tuantuan nodded, with a bright smile on his innocent face, and his big round eyes staring at Li Cheng.

"What does that uncle want me to do?"

"First, my uncle wants you to study hard, work hard, and grow up to be a person who contributes to society."

"Second, I want you to take good care of your mother and protect her like a man."

"Third, I want you to be happy every day and grow up healthy."

"How? Can it be done? ”

Seeing Bai Tuantuan listen to every word of his earnestly, Li Cheng felt a sense of relief in his heart, and couldn't help but think, whose child is this so well-behaved and sensible?

"No problem, I can do it!"

Bai Tuantuan nodded heavily, patted his small chest, and said with an oath.

"Uncle, you are so good, I see that many of my classmates' fathers are very fierce, and they don't want to talk to their children so softly, I really want to have a father like you."

Remembering the last time I passed by the kindergarten, those children all said that he was a wild child without a father, Li Cheng's heart seemed to be knocked by something, a little heavy, and he rubbed his face in distress.

"Where's your dad?"

"Mom said that Dad went to a far away place and might get lost and not come back."

Seeing that the light in his radiant eyes was much darker, Li Cheng regretted that he had just asked such a question, and hurriedly fed him dessert, and held back a cold joke to tease him.

The subordinate bought the necklace back and gave it to Bai Tuantuan, Bai Tuantuan still didn't see the shadow of the driver's uncle, so he could only borrow Li Cheng's mobile phone to call Lan Yuchen, saying that he was separated from the driver's uncle and couldn't find anyone else.

The driver who received Lan Yuchen's reminder received Bai Tuantuan at the door of the café, and when he saw that he was picked up, Li Cheng left with confidence.

When Bai Qianqian came home from work, she suddenly remembered that today was her birthday, and she saw that her relatives were waiting for her, and she was full of happiness and warmth.

"Mom, close your eyes, I have a gift for you!"

Bai Tuantuan saw his mother standing at the door stupidly in surprise, looking so moved that she was about to cry, hiding the gift behind her back in a decent way, and said in a matter-of-fact manner.

Hearing that her son was so considerate and bought herself a gift, Bai Qianqian was of course very cooperative, closed her eyes, and waited for her son's gift.

"Happy birthday, Mom, baby will always love you, right?"

Bai Tuantuan stood in a chair and put a necklace on his mother and kissed her heavily on the face.

She was so happy that she hugged her son tightly, and kissed her back on her pink and round face.

"Where did you get the money to buy a necklace for your mother?"

Bai Qianqian saw the new necklace around her neck, although it was not priceless, it was not something that a child could afford.

She thought it was funded by Lan Yuchen, turned her head, and glanced at him with disgust.

Lan Yuchen hurriedly waved his hand and said that it had nothing to do with him.

"It was a good uncle who bought it for me, and I wanted to borrow a little from him, but he said he didn't need to pay it back."

didn't know that this chain was still so tortuous, Bai Qianqian felt a little sorry for the child, and was worried that he would be deceived by bad people.

"What kind of uncle? Did you know each other before? Didn't my mother say that you can't accept gifts from strangers? There is no free lunch in the world, if you meet a bad guy and something happens, what do you let your mother do? ”

Hearing that his mother thought that the good-looking uncle was a bad person, and misunderstood that he had earned something for nothing, Bai Tuantuan hurriedly waved his hand.

"No, no, that uncle is very good, there were children in kindergarten who bullied me before, and he helped me, he is not a bad person. Moreover, I didn't get something for nothing, he asked me to buy me a gift, and I had to do it! ”

As he spoke, he repeated the three requests his uncle had told him.

"Are there kids in kindergarten bullying you? Why don't you tell your mother? What's going on? Do you teachers know? Whose child is it? ”

Hearing that her son was being bullied, Bai Qianqian could still listen to other words, and in an instant, her anger came up, her volume rose suddenly, and she felt distressed in her heart, and she blamed herself for hugging her son and checking the scars on his body.

"Where did they beat you? Tell your mother, tomorrow your mother will take you to the teacher, it's too much, what a child, you will learn to bully people! ”

"No, no, they didn't beat me, they, they said I was a kid without a father."

Bai Qianqian stopped what she was doing, looked at Bai Tuantuan with her head lowered, and touched his head sadly, not knowing what to say for a while.

She is not a qualified mother, she only cares about the busyness of work, but she rarely cares about the child's feelings, and she rarely comes to accompany him for a while, and she doesn't even know that he was bullied at school.

"Is it okay for your uncle to be your father in the future? Uncle protects you and Mom. ”

Lan Yuchen bent down, touched the back of Bai Tuantuan's head, and said seriously as if joking, when Bai Qianqian cast a puzzled look, he smiled softly at her, and he didn't know if he was serious.

"Mom likes it, I'll do it."

Bai Tuantuan saw that his mother was sad because of his own affairs, so he hurriedly hugged his mother's neck, with a bright smile on his face.

For Uncle Lan, he doesn't particularly like it, nor does he hate it, if his mother really chooses him to be his father, of course he will accept it, but if his mother doesn't choose him, he won't feel very uncomfortable.

"It's my mother's fault, my mother is busy with work and has no extra time to accompany you, my mother must accompany you more in the future, what must I tell my mother, okay?"

Knowing that he didn't want to worry about himself, his sensibility made her feel even more guilty in her heart.
