Chapter 810: Conversation between men
Looking sideways at the little one, Zhang Kaifeng said, "Didn't your Aunt Fu Ni tell you?"
"She did, but I don't believe a word she said," Xuan'er said, holding the cup. "Aunt Fu Ni only knows how to fool children."
Zhang Kaifeng laughed dumbly and said, "Aunt Fu Ni won't tell you the truth, so how can you think I can tell you?"
"Because you and my father are competitors and don't care about my feelings, I told you the truth."
With his long legs folded together, Zhang Kaifeng looked out the window at the leaves rustling in the wind and said with a smile, "It's better for children to be more innocent. It will be very tiring if they mature too early."
Zhang Kaifeng spoke to Xuan'er about this, speaking from the perspective of someone who had experienced it. But Xuan'er, only concerned about Xiao Mingyang's situation, leaned over and asked, "Do you even know where my dad is? They say you're amazing, but if you don't even know this, then I think you're just a name for nothing."
"Oh, you know how to provoke me, you're really smart," Zhang Kaifeng said, slowly dispelling his smile. "Since you want to know, I'll tell you. But you must keep it a secret, because there are some things I haven't even told your mommy, and I'm worried she won't be able to bear it."
Xuan'er nodded solemnly with a serious expression.
In the past, Zhang Kaifeng thought he must be crazy to open his heart to a five-year-old child, but after putting himself in the other's shoes, he realized that he really couldn't measure Xuan'er by a child's standards.
Throwing the empty cup into the trash, Zhang Kaifeng said, "After your father disappeared, I sent people to investigate. It's very likely that he was captured by your father's grandfather and taken to England. They just announced your father's disappearance to cover up the secret."
Leaning forward slightly in anxiety, Xuan'er pressed on, "Then why don't you go to England to save my father?"
"They hid your father, making it difficult to investigate. Also, I'm afraid that if we pursue them too closely, we might alert them and harm your father."
"But aren't those people Dad's relatives? Could they harm Dad?"
Zhang Kaifeng knew that the adult world was too cruel for him, and Lin Yuqing definitely didn't want him to be exposed to this cold world too early.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Kaifeng was about to speak when he heard Xuan'er say, "Uncle, please tell me the truth. Mommy is already exhausted, and I can't be confused anymore. I want to help Mommy share some of the burden."
"You're such a good kid." Zhang Kaifeng patted Xuan'er on the head and said, "Even though they're family, not all of them will have good intentions towards you. They'll sell out everything for profit. Your father's grandfather was such a person. He wanted to control your father, but if he kept failing, he'd probably lose his patience and give up on your father. A chess piece that has lost its purpose can only be discarded. I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying."
Xuan'er frowned, as if understanding something. He whispered, "So, Dad is in danger now? What should we do then? Should we pretend to give up the search?"
Zhang Kaifeng shook his head and said, "The other party isn't stupid. They won't let their guard down just because we're letting them off the hook. Okay, kid, the meeting is over. You should go take care of your mommy."
Bending over to pick Xuan'er up from the chair, Zhang Kaifeng seemed to see his own shadow in him.
Back then, I had to take on everything at a young age, and I struggled in the adult world and developed a strong body.
At that time, he felt helpless and wished there was someone who could tell him what to do. Now, looking at the little shadow he once was, Zhang Kaifeng is happy to share his experience.
Although the big guy in front of him looked cold, there was a kind light in his eyes, which made Xuan'er relax involuntarily, and sometimes even forget their hostile identities.
Standing behind Zhang Kaifeng, Xuan'er followed him like a little tail. After hesitating for a moment, she asked in a childish voice, "Will you be the second Uncle Siwen?"
Turning back to look at Xuan'er, Zhang Kaifeng asked, "Who is Siwen?"
"A guy who adored my mommy but left her scarred."
Zhang Kaifeng understood Xuan'er's concerns with a slight turn of his eyes. He said, "I won't force your mother to do anything. On the contrary, I respect her very much. I think you already understand what kind of person I am. You can try to trust me."
"But words are not enough. Why should I believe you? You adults love to lie and pretend."
Zhang Kaifeng was unable to refute this. He shook his head and laughed, saying, "Then you should trust Aunt Fu Ni. You see, Aunt Fu Ni trusts me very much, right?"
After thinking about it carefully, Xuan'er felt that what Zhang Kaifeng said made sense, so he said with some reluctance, "Okay, I'll trust you for now. But when can Dad be saved? Mommy must have fallen ill because she was worried about Dad. Mommy won't be happy until Dad comes back."
"Don't worry, I'll find a way to rescue your father, because I can't bear to see your mother sad." Zhang Kaifeng smiled and stretched out his hand in front of Xuan'er, saying, "This is a secret between men, remember?"
The little person glanced at Zhang Kaifeng's hand. Xuan'er had no intention of reaching out to high-five him. Instead, he said disdainfully, "You're such an old man. These things are no longer popular now."
After saying that, Xuan'er held his head high and walked back to the ward.
This brat...
……
Now that Lin Yuqing's health has improved a little, she plans to take her two children for a trip to Italy.
Zhenzhen and Xuan'er grew up abroad and aren't particularly interested in European architecture or beautiful scenery. However, they never tire of amusement parks.
Xuan'er likes roller coasters, but Lin Yuqing's current physical condition does not allow her to ride such a thrilling ride, so even if Xuan'er really wants to ride, she can only watch from a distance.
Lin Yuqing felt sorry for Xuan'er. Just when she was about to reluctantly accompany Xuan'er for a while, she saw a familiar person coming over with three strawberry sundaes, with a warm smile on his face.
"Uncle Kaifeng!"
The two little guys ran over familiarly and hooked Zhang Kaifeng's arms, one on the left and one on the right.
When did these two children become so familiar with him?
Lin Yuqing muttered something and then walked over.
After sharing the sundaes between the two children, Lin Yuqing naturally wanted to take the third cup, but Zhang Kaifeng took a bite first and said, "Your current physical condition is not suitable for drinking cold drinks."
After saying this, Zhang Kaifeng took the children to the end of the roller coaster line.
