Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 414
Chapter 414 Snowman Building
After the tea was toasted, Du Xiaoxian crisply called out, “Godfather, Godmother.”
Gu Guangxian said, “Xiao Xian, don’t use the word dry, it looks strange, call mom and dad, more mom and dad will love you in the future, your ama will be very happy when she sees it in heaven.”
As soon as Gu Guangxian mentioned Yue Niang, Lu Ding Shen’s eyes became sore, and for fear of being seen, he busily lowered his head.
Du Xiaoxian literally just called out, “Daddy, Mommy.”
Lu Ding Shen had only reddened his eyes, this call of father made him mixed with sadness and joy, the joy was that Du Xiaoxian finally called him father, the sadness was that he couldn’t tell her the truth now.
Tears dripped silently, Du Xiaoxian was the closest, saw the crystal flash, could not help but be startled, Mr. Lu this is …
Gu Nianbin saw it as well, her eyebrows gently raised, and her eyes looked at Lu Ding Shen with a few moments of probing.
Fang Yaru was talking to Xiao Meiyuan and didn’t pay much attention. But once Lu Ding Shen’s emotions came, he couldn’t hold back any longer, and his tears fell down.
Lu Haochen hurried over to block the crowd’s line of sight, bending down to pat his back, “Dad, the doctor said you can’t get too excited.”
Gu Guangxian then said, “Haochen, help your father to rest in the house, he’s tired after traveling so far.” He also asked Xiao Bo Nian, “Old Xiao, are the rooms all packed?”
“It’s packed, Mr. Lu’s luggage is already in the room.” Xiao Bo Nian and Lu Haochen helped Lu Ding Shen to the room together.
Lu Ding Shen kept his head down since the beginning, as if he was exhausted.
Xiao Meiyuan smiled and rounded up the situation, “Ding Shen is too happy, he gets easily agitated when he’s happy, Xiao Xian, it didn’t scare you, did it?”
Du Xiaoxian smiled and shook her head, “No. Is dad’s health not good?”
“He had a stroke some time ago and has just recovered, so he can’t get too excited.”
Gu Nianbin watched Lu Ding Shen disappear into the doorway until he pulled his gaze back and gave Gu Guangxian a thoughtful look.
The night fell a heavy snow, when I got up in the morning, the dark fragrance, the yard of the plum blossom bloomed, white snow and red plums, the exceptionally demonic.
Lu Haochen stood in front of the window, but his gaze went through the plum blossoms and landed on the window of the opposite house, that’s where Gu Nianbin and Du Xiaoxian lived, they shouldn’t be up yet, right?
With a creak, the door was pushed open, Lu Haochen didn’t turn around, but said, “Dad, you’re up so early too!”
Lu Ding Shen hmmm’d and walked over to stand beside him, his gaze also falling on the house across the street. Father and son stood in silence for a long time without speaking.
The sky is snowing again, first of all, scattered in the air in an arc around, and then is a large snowflake, flurry, heaven and earth as if hanging up a white curtain of snow. The house across the street is isolated.
Lu Haochen suddenly sighed, seems to be closer, but it is farther apart, all the people are happy, only he is the exception, this life is only afraid to escape.
Lu Ding Shen glanced at him and said, “Haochen, you’re not still dead in the water, are you? Xiao Xian is your sister, it’s useless to think about it.”
Lu Haochen curved his lips, but said, “How is it useless? It’s not like we’re related by blood.”
“That won’t work either.” Lu Ding Shen’s tone was resolute, “Don’t hit on her, I just want her to be happy.”
“Dad, why don’t you think about it from another angle,” Lu Haochen said half-jokingly, half-seriously, “Wouldn’t it be more reassuring for dad to give her to me? Moreover, she lives at home, you can see her every day, all of dad’s property will be given to her for inheritance in the future, I’ll just help take care of it, and if dad wants to recognize her openly, he can dissolve the adoption relationship with me, we’re still a family!”
Lu Ding Shen looked at him with great surprise, “Haochen, how can you think like that? Xiao Xian is your sister, it’s impossible to have another relationship.”
“But you used to encourage me to get her back.”
“That’s because I didn’t know she was my daughter.” Lu Ding Shen said, “For so many years, dad really owes her too much, now the only thing I can do is to compensate her, protect her, cherish her, I can see that she likes Gu Nianbin very much, and is very happy with him, as long as it’s what she likes, I have to guard it. You say that Dad is selfish or not, in the future Lu’s, Dad can only leave you, because I do not want her to live too tired, you are a man, you must have to bear, and she just need to be happy every day. I know Gu Nianbin loves her and will take care of her for the rest of her life, but I don’t think it’s enough, so dad begs you to guard her like a brother, and in the future, when I’m gone, there will be two of you and Gu Nianbin guarding her together, so dad can rest assured.”
Lu Haochen laughed, “Dad, what are you doing so discreetly, I’m joking with you, Xiao Xian is my sister, I have no other thoughts.”
“Yes?” Lu Ding Shen said, “Then what are you doing looking at the opposite window all the time?”
“Which I am looking at the opposite window, I am enjoying the plum blossoms.” Lu Haochen wrapped his arms around himself and looked at the plum blossoms in the yard, the snowflakes fell in a flurry, almost covering the tree of brilliant red, only a few sporadic blossoms were exposed, blossoming in defiance of the cold and the harshness of the cold.
Lu Ding Shen patted Lu Haochen’s shoulder and said, “Son, dad is a man of the past, I know what you are thinking, and I am not like this to Xiao Xian’s mom. A lifetime is not also over, the road is self walk out, dad and mom live together for more than thirty years, also did not feel unhappy, there are many kinds of happiness, and beloved people together is happiness, contentment and peace of mind is also happiness, everyone will have this and that kind of regret, this is life! You have to learn to accept it!”
Lu Haochen was silent for half a second, and finally smiled, “Dad, I know, don’t worry, I’ll treat Xiao Xian as my own sister.”
Because of Du Xiaoxian, the two families get along very well together, just like a family. When Gu Shanshan came back from vacation, she was surprised to learn about the relationship between the two families. She had met Lu Haochen at Gu Niannian’s birthday party, and noticed his loving gaze when he looked at Du Xiaoxian, and didn’t realize that he was now Du Xiaoxian’s godbrother!
Standing on the porch with hot tea, he saw Gu Nianbin sitting on the edge of the porch smoking a cigarette, so he walked over and leaned against the big red pillar and said with a smile, “Brother, the love rival is hanging around in front of your eyes every day, isn’t it a depressing mood, do you want to spit out your pain with your sister me? I’m all ears!”
Gu Nianbin glanced at her and didn’t bother.
To be honest, he was really a bit depressed, not because of Lu Haochen, but Lu Ding Shen.
Compared to Lu Haochen, Lu Dingxian’s demeanor was more suspicious to him. As long as Du Xiaoxian appeared, Lu Dingxian’s eyes are like sticking to her, can no longer get rid of, not to mention her warmth, but also very attentive to her, when eating, non-stop to give her food, but also personally for her to scoop up the soup, the things that should have been done by him to do all the rush.
And always ask her what she likes, what she lacks, Du Xiaoxian if she said nothing, he seems to be very disappointed. Do not care if Du Xiaoxian want, hard to stuff a bunch of jewelry to her. The mother was secretly surprised to see such a large sum of money, and privately told him that Du Xiaoxian was lucky to be able to worship Lu Dingxian as her daughter.
Even if he heard Du Xiaoxian coughing unintentionally, Lu Ding Shen would immediately be so nervous that he would ask her if she was not feeling well anywhere. Should she take medicine and see a doctor or something.
Du Xiaoxian accompanied Gu Guangxian for a walk in the corridor, and he had to follow along, anyway, wherever Du Xiaoxian was, Lu Dingxian would basically show up.
This demeanor was clearly a bit unusual, but everyone took it for granted, only mother muttered to father that day, “Ding Shen seems to really like Xiao Xian.”
“What do you mean it seems real?” The father said in disbelief, “It would have been real, or else he could have recognized her as his daughter?”
Gu Nianbin’s heart is always uneasy, although Lu Ding Shen is more than half a hundred years old, because of good maintenance, it looks like more than forty years old, mature and charismatic. He originally regarded Lu Haochen as a beast of water, but the two fathers and sons stood together, Lu Dingzhen fell more seemingly extraordinary temperament some. Could … it be that the son is not able to do it, and change the old son to step in?
Gu Nianbin knew that such an idea was absurd, but he always felt that there was something odd here.
“Where are Xiao Xian and Nian Nian?” He asked Gu Shanshan.
“Building a snowman in the backyard.”
“Who else?”
“Lu Shibo ah.” Gu Shanshan glanced at him and said, “Brother, Lu Shibei is really … afraid of Xiao Xian freezing, playing for a while and then serving her ginger tea to feed her, a real father doesn’t have such a thing, right!”
Gu Nianbin tossed his cigarette and got up to leave, Gu Shanshan raised her eyebrows and hurriedly followed.
In the backyard, Lu Ding Shen, Du Xiao Xian, and Gu Nian Nian were feverishly building snowmen.
Lu Ding Shen patted the big snowball tightly, took off his gloves, walked to the porch and brought ginger tea out to greet Du Xiaoxian’s mother and daughter, “Come, come, it’s time to drink ginger tea again, you can’t continue to pile up the snowman until you drink the ginger tea, otherwise you’ll catch a cold.”
Gu Nian Nian was very responsive, leaping and screaming, “Drink ginger tea, drink ginger tea!” She also called Du Xiaoxian, “Mommy, come to Grandpa and drink ginger tea.”
Lu Ding Shen fed Gu Nian Nian two mouthfuls of ginger tea, saw Du Xiaoxian taking off his gloves, and said, “Don’t take it off, beware of cold hands, just drink two mouthfuls like this.” Said like feeding Gu Niannian, sent the cup to Du Xiaoxian’s mouth, Du Xiaoxian had to follow his hand and lowered his head to drink two mouthfuls.
Gu Nianbin’s temples jutted when he saw this scene, favoring Gu Shanshan, who said, “Brother, you see, Lu Shibao is a really competent father.”
Gu Nianbin quickened his pace, his voice deep, “Xian’er.”
Du Xiaoxian saw that it was Gu Nianbin and waved happily, “Nianbin, come see the snowman we built.”
Gu Nianbin, however, looked at Lu Ding Shen, to smile and not smile, “Shibe is really good elegance, such a cold day accompanied by the juniors pile snowman, you are very sick, can pay attention to the body ah!”
Lu Ding Shen laughed twice, “Playing with them makes my heart happy, besides I prepared ginger tea, it’s fine.”
“That’s right,” Gu Nian Nian interjected, “We’re not cold at all, dad, why don’t you play with us.”
Gu Shanshan looked at the ground and saw that two big snowmen had already been piled up, and there was still one unfinished, she asked curiously, “Why are you piling up so many?”
Gu Nian Nian pointed to the two big ones and said, “That’s Grandpa and Mom, and this one that’s not yet stacked is me.”
Gu Nianbin’s face was even more unsightly, those two snowmen were next to each other, which could be seen as father and daughter, those who didn’t know thought they were a pair!
