Chapter 56: The Nouveau Rieu
"By the time you were five years old, you were already mine." He said.
I didn't have time to think deeply, and the fleshy boy in my arms said, "Mom, if you marry Dad, will you have to be with us?" ā
He pointed to an inconspicuous corner in the darkness and wondered, "Will that mother not want him anymore?" ā
I followed his little chubby fingers, and I couldn't see it at all if I didn't look closely, and there was a child squatting there about the same age as the boy in his arms, whose facial features were also foggy, and he couldn't see clearly.
He was wearing a large black knit and was hidden in the shadows. If I hadn't been reminded, I probably wouldn't have noticed that there was anyone there.
I gently broke free of Xu Yijin, and also let go of the child in my arms, and the latter moved his small body, grabbed my trouser legs with both hands, and refused to leave me half a step at all.
In desperation, I had to bend down and take his little hand and lead us in the direction of the child.
"Mom." The boy in the shadows screamed milkily.
My heart skipped half a beat, and I suddenly looked at Xu Yijin in surprise and joy, and asked, "Is he Liu Shichen's child?" ā
Xu Yijin bowed his head and responded: "Well, I guessed you want to see him." ā
I turned around and took a few steps into the darkness, but I was afraid of scaring him, so I stopped two meters away from him, stretched out my hand and said, "Son, come to Mommy." ā
The boy looked at Xu Yijin with a wince, and then looked at the little guy at my feet in a blink of an eye, but somehow he kept stagnating.
After a long time, my hands were a little sore, but he was still squatting in the corner.
Until Xu Yijin said to him expressionlessly: "Mom wants to hug you, don't let Mom wait too long." ā
He reacted a little at first, at first he slowly stood up as if tentatively, and seeing that Xu Yijin didn't react, he twisted and threw himself into my arms, and shouted sweetly: "Mom." ā
The two little ones lay on my shoulders together, and although it was in a dream, I suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction that I had never felt before.
Xu Yijin walked up to me, squatted down with me, looked at me with blazing eyes undisguised, and said, "Zhang Zhouzhou, from today onwards, we will be husband and wife in name." ā
I thought it was just a dream, not reality, so I let it go.
The two little things were soft and felt so good that I pinched a face in one hand and made them laugh.
"Can you accept Liu Shichen's child?" I asked Xu Yijin.
He told me with a calm face: "As long as you love him, love the house and Wu, I will not hate him." ā
How exciting it sounds.
When I woke up, I still had a smile on my face.
When I opened my eyes and looked at the ceiling, I was a little dazed, and my palms seemed to still carry the residual warmth of the two little ones.
The color on the chain on his hand seems to be lighter than yesterday.
Zhou Mingchuan only said that his heart's blood could temporarily calm me for a while, but he didn't say how long.
I don't know if I can survive until these two children are born safely.
I put on my slippers and went to the bathroom attached to the bedroom, threw cold water on my face, and then I was more sober, and after wiping the water off my face, I walked out of the bedroom.
After Luo Qing was busy in the kitchen, he heard the movement, looked at me, wiped his two hands on the apron repeatedly, and came to touch my forehead.
"It's not hot, it should be completely fine." As she spoke, she turned to pay attention to the side dishes in the pot.
She simply stir-fried two specialty dishes, added two bowls of rice, and then brought them to the table, put chopsticks on the table, and beckoned me to eat.
Luo Qing gave me a chopstick dish, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and told me in hindsight: "Zhou Zhou, you can buy a new mobile phone, Uncle Zhang can't contact you, and the calls have come to me." ā
"My dad?" I asked, "Did he say anything about me?" ā
My father, if it weren't for some special circumstances, wouldn't call me once in half a year, and even if he did, as long as I didn't answer, he wouldn't call me a second time, let alone call my friends around me.
Luo Qing raised his chin at the mobile phone on the table and said, "He asked you to wake up and call him back." ā
I reached for my phone and dialed the number that I had memorized.
The phone was quickly picked up, and a familiar male voice came from the earpiece: "Hey, Xiao Luo, did Zhou Zhou wake up?" ā
I don't know how long I haven't heard his voice, and I didn't know how to answer for a while, so I was stunned until he urged, "Why don't you speak?" Did Zhou Zhou not wake up yet? ā
"Dad, it's me." I said after a moment.
My dad was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, and the two of them were in a stalemate with each other, not at all like a father and daughter.
After waiting for about two or three minutes, my dad finally spoke: "Zhou Zhou, the school said that you took a leave of absence, did something happen?" ā
This was probably the first time in my adult life that he took the initiative to care for me.
Maybe I haven't felt much father's love since I was a child, and I don't have much emotion at this time, so I said lightly: "Dad, I'm pregnant." ā
It stands to reason that when someone says something like this, they will be nervous and even afraid. But I didn't have it at all, and for me, I didn't see my father as often as I did with my aunt who was the school's dormitory manager.
My dad was silent, and the only sound in the earpiece was his shallow breathing.
I asked him, "Did you call you suddenly today?" ā
"IāI almost forgot." He smiled awkwardly and said: "Zhou Zhou, hasn't Dad been starting a business, the company was successfully listed last month, and it has been making huge profits for a month, and now our family is also rich, and we can also enjoy the life of a rich man." Tell your dad what you need, how much money you want, and Dad will punch it in for you. ā
My dad is starting a business, and I've heard him talk about it roughly.
It's just that I never expected him to succeed.
I thought I was still dreaming and didn't wake up, so I quickly pinched the flesh on my hand, it hurt.
"Dad, are you kidding?" I still can't believe that this kind of good thing could happen to me.
Although I don't have much affection for my dad, after all, we are flesh and blood, and I am also his only heir in law, and if he is rich, it will be a great thing for me.
My dad could hear it just by listening to the voice, and he was quite happy, "You kid, why don't you even believe your father, can I lie to you about such a big thing?" This month, the company's ranking has squeezed into the 48th in China, which can be regarded as quite an achievement. ā
Lin Yan's family is only ranked fifty-two.
If even a company like the Lin family surpasses it, then wouldn't my father's company really develop?
I was a little excited, so I hurriedly found Luo Qing's computer, looked up the company's relevant information on the Internet, and found that what my father said was true.
This feeling is like a fragrant pie falling from the sky, which happens to fall on my head.
My whole body was foggy, a little fluttery.
Becoming an upstart was something I couldn't even think about before.
"Zhou Zhou, since you have taken leave, come to the house tomorrow to have a look, we have moved to a new house now, which is much more spacious than the previous one." My dad said proudly: "I want others to know that my Zhang Shicheng's daughter is more beautiful than those celebrities." ā
