Chapter 880: Xuan'er's Secret
Zhenzhen was very excited as she waved the trophy in her hand. She handed it to Zhang Kaifeng and said, "Thank you, uncle, for driving us home. This is a thank you gift for you."
"Really!"
Hearing Xuan'er calling her, Zhenzhen looked at him sideways and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xuan Er raised his chin towards the thing in Zhen Zhen's hand, and reminded Zhen Zhen, "That's a family award, it's for Dad."
"But Dad is not here right now, so I'll give it to Uncle Kaifeng first."
"What if Dad gets angry?"
Zhenzhen's eyes widened, and after thinking carefully, she smiled and said, "Dad wouldn't be so stingy. Besides, it's just a trophy. I saved the reward cookies."
Given Zhenzhen's love for food, she definitely can't save the cookies until her father comes back. Wouldn't that mean her father won't get any gifts in the end?
Seeing Xuan'er frowning, Zhang Kaifeng smiled and said, "It's better to leave such a valuable thing to Dad. I really appreciate your kindness, uncle."
"OK then."
Pointing at the windmill outside the window, Zhenzhen cheered, "We're home!"
Zhenzhen's voice was so loud that when Xuan'er wanted to stop her, she had already woken up Lin Yuqing.
Rubbing her eyes tiredly, Lin Yuqing sat up, looked outside, and said, "Are we home yet?"
"Mommy, you're awake," Zhenzhen said happily, holding Lin Yuqing's arm. "Mommy, you're such a good sleeper. You slept all the way."
Lin Yuqing's face was a little red, perhaps because she was shy or had just woken up. She reached out to tidy up her messy hair, then she said to Zhang Kaifeng, "Thank you very much."
"If you really want to thank me, let me have a glass of water."
The weather today is indeed quite hot. Looking at the sweat beads flowing down Zhang Kaifeng's cheeks, Lin Yuqing really couldn't refuse his suggestion.
"Okay, then go in and have some water later."
"No need," Lin Yuqing didn't expect Zhang Kaifeng to reject the suggestion and said, "Just ask Xuan'er to bring me a glass of water."
Lin Yuqing glanced at Zhang Kaifeng in surprise. She hadn't expected this guy to make such a request. However, she was quite satisfied that Zhang Kaifeng could consciously keep his distance from her.
After getting out of the car with the two children, Lin Yuqing prepared a glass of ice water for Zhang Kaifeng, handed it to Xuan'er, and said, "If uncle doesn't have enough to drink, remember to come back and get more."
"I got it, Mommy."
Xuan'er held the cup in both hands and walked out quickly.
Standing at the door, Xuan'er looked around but didn't see Zhang Kaifeng.
"Hey, kid, over here!"
Xuan'er was not happy to be called like that. She followed the voice and found Zhang Kaifeng. She pursed her lips and ran to him and handed the cup of water to Zhang Kaifeng.
Seeing that half of the water in the cup had spilled out, Zhang Kaifeng curled his lips, raised it and drank it all in one gulp.
"Need more?"
Holding the still cool cup, Zhang Kaifeng smiled at Xuan'er and said, "Sit down. I have something to tell you."
What can this guy say to me?
Xuan'er looked at Zhang Kaifeng suspiciously and slowly sat down.
Looking ahead, Zhang Kaifeng asked, "Do you miss your dad?"
Xuan Er didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he nodded frankly and said, "Yeah."
"I have a way to let you see your father earlier, but it will be a little dangerous. Do you have the courage to participate?"
Hearing this, Xuan'er turned his head to look at Zhang Kaifeng and said seriously, "As long as I can get Dad back and make Mommy happy, I'm not afraid of any danger. It's just..."
With a scrutinizing look in his eyes, Xuan'er looked directly into Zhang Kaifeng's eyes and asked, "Why do you want Dad to come back? I thought you hoped that my dad would never show up in his life."
Hearing Xuan'er's frank words, Zhang Kaifeng suddenly laughed out loud. Looking up at the blue sky, Zhang Kaifeng stroked the top of his head and said, "I really like chatting with you. It's much easier than talking to adults."
Leaning back against the tree trunk, Zhang Kaifeng said, "You're right. I really don't like your father coming back, but I don't want to see your mother sad because of your father. She is a sincere woman. Once she sets her mind on someone, she won't give up easily. So I will let her see the truth of the matter and then make a choice."
Dongfang Bai had said that Lin Yuqing's delusions had become increasingly severe, and she had even begun refusing medication. But Zhang Kaifeng knew that Lin Yuqing wasn't imagining things; she had truly seen Xiao Mingyang, and that Xiao Mingyang had indeed appeared. Zhang Kaifeng could understand the pain Lin Yuqing felt for someone who was clearly mentally normal, yet believed something was wrong with her.
Although he wanted to get Lin Yuqing, he couldn't bear to see her sad, so it didn't matter if he helped Xiao Mingyang once, as long as Lin Yuqing could be happy.
Seeing that Zhang Kaifeng was silent, Xuan'er asked, "Aren't you afraid that Mommy will leave you?"
He laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Your mommy never agreed to be with me, so how could it involve leaving? I'm not afraid of competing with your dad. Only by comparing can your mommy know who is more suitable for her."
"I don't deny that your father is an excellent man, but as a husband, he always makes your mother sad, so he is an unqualified husband. I am confident that I can win your mother's heart. Perhaps it won't be long before I will become your stepfather."
Xuan Er glanced at his lower lip and said, "I don't think your chances of winning are very high."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because my mom and dad have been through a lot of ups and downs, they are still together, and this time will definitely be the same, so don't have any illusions."
Zhang Kaifeng laughed and asked, "You're just a kid, how can you know what love is? Adult matters are not as simple as you think!"
"It's you who are making a simple thing complicated!" Xuan'er said with the air of a little adult, "Mommy loves Daddy, Daddy loves Mommy, they will work hard to be together, and you can't force it. I think you are a good person, so I advise you not to be so stubborn."
Zhang Kaifeng was unwilling to know this truth, which even a child understood. He had been numbing himself, but now Xuan'er ruthlessly pointed it out.
"How do you know it's not possible if you don't try?" Zhang Kaifeng said with a forced smile, "Don't worry about adults. If you want to see your father, just follow my arrangements."
Lin Yuqing was preparing afternoon tea for Zhenzhen when she saw Xuan'er coming back. She asked, "Is Uncle Zhang gone?"
"Ah."
After breathing a sigh of relief, Lin Yuqing felt that Zhang Kaifeng's behavior was a little strange.
"He didn't ask for anything else, like coming in and sitting down or something?"
"No," Xuan'er said after drinking a glass of lemonade, "Uncle Kaifeng just sat down to rest and then left."
Has this person changed his gender?
Lin Yuqing muttered softly, turned around, took out a dessert and an iced drink, handed them to Xuan'er, and said, "You've been tired all day, come and take a break. Mommy prepared mousse for you, come and have some."
