This mention of Ning Qingyuan’s name, Zhong Yu’s face suddenly cooled down, “Go home.”
Lemon looked at Zhong Yu’s gloomy face, positively unhappy, but somewhat afraid, “I want to go back to my own home.”
Zhong Yu has just been subjected to Jane Mo’s anger, and now even his own daughter is angry with him, his heart can’t help but be annoyed, “My home is your home.”
Lemon hummed softly, her eyes widened, “No, my surname is Ning.”
Zhong Yu glared at her, to the edge of the mouth words are hard stuck between the throat, “I am your father.” Really not like who!
Zhou Jincheng pulled his hand, “Brother, let’s go back.”
Zhong Yu slowly calm down, what’s wrong with himself, and a child what really. He put the blame on Ning Qingyuan.
Zhou Jincheng stepped forward to hold Lemon’s hand, Lemon stood there motionless, tilted his head and looked straight at Zhong Yu, “I can’t walk anymore, I want to be held.” Said and stretched out his hands.
Zhong Yu shook his head, this child’s temper comes and goes quickly.
“You are not afraid that I will sell you?” Zhong Yu did not have the good taste to say.
“john will come to my rescue.”
See, he shouldn’t have asked, “Is Ning Qingyuan that good?”
“Yeah, I’ll secretly tell you, he’s actually my dad.”
Zhong Yu’s eyes froze, the two “dads” did irritate him again. No, he hadn’t been irritated much since Jian Mo came back. “Wow?” His voice rose slightly, “How did Lemon know that?”
Lemon rolled her eyes, “From the eyes, of course.” After she entered kindergarten, every time she saw other children being transported by their dads, she gradually realized that apart from her mom, there was also her dad. Ning Qingyuan had no choice but to enter the list of “dads”.
Zhong Yu coughed lightly, “How about if uncle is lemon’s father?” He looked down at his daughter and said. He looked down at his daughter, speaking in a lighthearted manner.
“No.” Lemon said without thinking, “You have a girlfriend.”
Zhong Yu’s eyebrows clustered, he did not know that children nowadays are so …… sharp. “Who said that?”
“Zhou Jincheng ah.” Lemon turned his head sideways, “Zhou Jincheng last time, didn’t you say he was your sister’s boyfriend?”
Zhou Jincheng has been a person since childhood, “I also heard it from adults, brother, isn’t it?” He looked at Zhong Yu sincerely.
“A person’s small manipulative heart can be really big.”
When Nie Qing Ran went to the entrance of the neighborhood to pick up the child, originally there was a smile on her mouth, and then when she saw the lemon that probed out, her
smile immediately stiffened and her gaze coldly looked at Lemon.
“Mom–” Zhou Jincheng called out to her. Nie Qing Ran then recovered, “Trouble you, Jincheng and brother say goodbye.” She naturally ignored Lemon’s presence.
“Bye brother, bye lemon.”
“Bye, Zhou Jincheng.”
Zhong Yu started the car and drove off.
“Jin Cheng, listen to mom, go back and don’t mention lemon’s name in front of dad, okay?”
Zhou Jincheng was puzzled, “Why? Lemon is cute, all the kids in our class love her.”
Nie Qing Ran squatted down and touched her son’s head, “Be obedient, don’t mention it at home okay.”
Zhou Jincheng frowned, but still nodded.
Zhou Weiping rarely came back early, when he saw his son come back, he immediately walked over and picked up his son, “Did you have fun son?” His career path was smooth sailing, only his children’s destiny was shallow. Jane Mo and him are complete strangers, no matter how he repaired it, he did not get his daughter’s forgiveness. When he and Nie Qing Ran were just together, Nie Qing Ran was also pregnant once, only to accidentally keep it later, and has not conceived again for several years since then. Zhou Jincheng’s origin was completely unexpected, Zhou Weiping doted on this son, even transferring his love for his daughter to this child. In his son, he slowly felt the pride of being a father. He lifted his son up and Zhou Jincheng giggled.
After playing madly for a while, Nie Qing Ran came over, “Alright, take Jincheng to wash his hands, dinner will be served in a while.”
Zhou Weiping put his son on his shoulders and walked towards the bathroom, the corner of Nie Qing Ran’s mouth drew a smile of certainty.
“Dad, will brother marry Sister Xiao Ruo?” Zhou Jincheng rubbed the bubbles in his hands.
Zhou Weiping laughed, “Why do you ask?”
Zhou Jincheng hesitated for a moment, “Today, brother asked Lemon how he would like to be Lemon’s father?”
The corners of Zhou Weiping’s mouth immediately stiffened, and there was a moment of silence. Zhou Jincheng softly shouted “Dad?”
Zhou Weiping woke up as if from a dream, he quickly frowned, “Brother is joking. Lemon -” he pronounced the name somewhat stiffly, “Lemon is out playing with you all these days?”
“Yes.” Zhou Jincheng’s face suddenly showed joy.
Zhou Weiping’s color sank slightly.
“Dad, Lemon she speaks English very well, and she can even write with her left hand. I wanted to invite her for us to come and play, but her mom doesn’t agree.” He said with some sadness.
Nie Qing Ran pushed open the door, “What took you so long to come out?”
Zhou Weiping didn’t say anything, Zhou Jincheng quickly dried his hands and ran out. Nie Qing Ran felt a little weird for a moment.
That night, when Zhong Yu sent the lemons to the Water View Mountain Villa, the Ning family mansion stood there, not a single light in the twilight.
He dialed Jane Mo’s phone, and it took a long time before he was connected. He suddenly felt that the wait was so long. He turned his head sideways, and his eyes fell on the already sleeping lemon, the corners of his mouth slightly clogged, like a lazy kitten, the edge of his mouth seemed to have just added water stains.
“Mommy, mommy, john–giggle–” Zhong Yu’s face looked calm, but in reality, it was holding back an aura of danger.
Determinedly, he started the car and hit the road back home.
Mrs. Ning fainted in the afternoon and has been unconscious. Jane Mo and Ning Qingyuan both guarded the hospital, not moving an inch.
At seven or eight o’clock light, Ning’s father snapped, “Lemon is home alone, you guys go back first.” He waved his hand, “I’ll stay and accompany her.”
Jian Mo’s face didn’t have a trace of blood color, his entire body was exhausted, his voice was infinitely empty, “Lemon is at my uncle’s house.” She frowned, “Uncle, I’ll stay. You’re also tired after a long day, auntie still has to rely on you.”
Ning father looked at her, the person lying on the bed was his current wife, and also this child’s …… The corners of his mouth pursed, and he nodded, “Okay, I’ll come back in the morning.”
“Qingyuan, order a porridge for me.” She sat down on the sofa with a soft □.
Ning Qingyuan watched as she buried her head, and under the warm light, he clearly saw the subtle layer of fuzz on the back of her neck. Ning Qingyuan’s heart ached for her, just as it did back when he went to pick her up and saw her carrying a belly child’s tutoring center class. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze transfixed. Knowing that she was having a hard time in her heart at the moment, he didn’t say anything in the end. He dialed the phone to ask his assistant to send some light food to the hospital.
Jian Mo sniffled, “You go back, don’t you still have to go back to the US tomorrow?”
Ning Qingyuan sat next to her, for a moment the short sofa seemed a bit crowded, “Wait until auntie wakes up.” After a pause, “Don’t think about it so much, Auntie’s condition is much better than expected.”
Jian Mo looked at Mrs. Ning’s sleeping face and sighed slightly, “Hopefully she’ll make it through safely this time.”
The assistant brought over the food and Ning Qingyuan explained something. Only then did Jane Mo take out her cell phone, a missed call, her fingertips gently crossed the screen.
“Come over for dinner.” Ning Qingyuan said.
Jane Mo hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she didn’t call. She didn’t want to be distracted by the child’s business at this time.
Let’s do it tomorrow, tomorrow.
Zhong Yu held the lemon and returned directly to the compound, Mrs. Zhong’s face was covered with a mask, and the small nanny
opened the door and turned around and said, “Auntie, it’s big brother Zhong who’s back.”
Mrs. Zhong listened to the opera idly.
The little nanny has also been in the Zhong family for three or four years, and when she saw the child in Zhong Yu’s arms, she was at a loss for words.
Zhong Yu walked into the living room, “Turn down the TV sound.”
Mrs. Zhong’s eyes were closed, happy and content, ignoring him.
Zhong Yu carefully placed the child on the sofa, quickly took the remote control, the living room was instantly quiet.
Mrs. Zhong opened her eyes, slightly huffing, “The moment you come back, you’re against your mother ……,” her voice suddenly stilled when her gaze swept to Ke Ren on the sofa.
Zhong Yu said to the small nanny, “Is there any milk powder in the house?”
The little nanny shook her head, how could she prepare milk powder if there was no child.
“Xiao Lu, go out and run and buy a few cans of milk powder, remember to import from Holland.”
Mrs. Zhong blinked her eyes, stunned for a few seconds, a tear off the mask, her tone was urgent, “Zhong Yu, whose family is this child?”
Zhong Yu seemed to laugh a little, softly walked to Lemon’s side, fingertips crossed her white and tender little face, “Mom, don’t you think that this child is very similar to me?”
Mrs. Zhong didn’t know how many big storms she had experienced, but tonight she was really startled by his son. Her eyes quickly turned back and forth on the two men’s faces, as if she was confirming something?
Zhong Yu also stopped playing dumb and directly said, “My daughter, also known as your granddaughter, is nicknamed Lemon.”
“Your daughter? When did it happen?” She only felt that her brain short-circuited for a moment in general, she couldn’t believe it since.
Zhong Yu stood up, met his mother’s line of sight, and fixedly said, “Mom, it’s my child.” He wrinkled his eyebrows, “Her mother and I had some misunderstandings, causing me to only recently realize the existence of the child.”
He tried his best to put things in a euphemistic manner.
Mrs. Zhong carefully surveyed the child, her heart was a mixed bag, raising her eyes and glaring viciously at him, “Carefully your father comes back to clean you up a bit, so that you can be a jerk on weekdays.”
Zhong Yu astringently pulled the corners of his mouth.
Suddenly a granddaughter appeared, Mrs. Zhong was indeed unable to suppress a few moments of joy. She carefully picked up the child, “Have you had dinner?”
“No, I’ll go to the kitchen to check.”
“I didn’t ask you, I said child.” Mrs. Zhong said with disgust.
Zhong Yu froze, then laughed out, “Mom, you’re also too thick-skinned.”
Mrs. Zhong was a little angry at the moment when she saw him for no reason, originally she was looking at Han Ruo, no matter if it
family or that child’s character and Zhong Yu really match, Xiao Ruo’s mind in these years has been on Zhong Yu, Han family obviously also has this meaning, but now this situation.
“What’s the situation with the child’s mom?”
Zhong Yu stroked the corner of his forehead, “Office worker, both parents are away, there is an uncle in the east of the city.” He spoke lightly, and only at the end of his words did he realize how little he knew about Jian Mo. He gazed at Lemon’s sleeping face, the child grunted a few times, looking like he was showing signs of waking up.
“Mommy, meng meng wants to shush-” her eyes were still closed and she reached out her hand to touch it.
Zhong Yu stopped his mother with one hand, “I’ll do it.”
From the child’s birth until now, he had missed too much. He cherished every moment with her now. Lemon sat on the toilet, rubbing her eyes with her small hands, rolling her eyes in a daze, and when she got a good look at the person in front of her, she seemed to react to something.
“Woah-” cried out, “I’ve really been trafficked.”
