Chapter 242 This Is Reality
“I haven’t informed my parents. Commander, you are the first person getting informed.” Yi Yunrui responds honestly.
“You have to inform them in advance, so that they can get prepared! Ning had got nothing when she married you. This is your official wedding ceremony. You can’t be careless about that.”
“Yes, Sir. I understand.”
Mr. Dai nods. He turns to Dai Zhongheng, “Heng, ask Baoer to come for dinner.”
Dai Zhongheng feels his heart tightened. He dares not disobey his father’s order, “OK. I will tell her now.”
Then, Dai Zhongheng gets up and walks out of the living room.
It is in the middle of spring. It is fresh in the yard with red flowers and green leaves. It is lively. Dai Zhongheng gives a sigh of relief.
To him, his father is the greatest honor. Ever since he was a child, he has seldom seen his father smile. Most of the time, he saw his father looking outside through the window. He didn’t know what his father was thinking. At the time, his mother always silently turned around to leave.
He only knew that his father had experienced something before. But his mother never told him about that.
It was more impossible for his father to tell.
However, his father is a very traditional man. So, Dai Zhongheng has been mentally prepared for his attitude towards Zhenzhen.
His father gives him a month’s time to deal with that. That’s the greatest tolerance he can grant.
Dai Zhongheng lifts his eyes and looks forward. In the yard, two people are chasing for fun. Dai Zhongheng looks at them. It is a sweet scene. He feels like seeing Baoer and he, and Zhenzhen together...
“Zhenzhen, let’s stop for a while. Wipe the sweats.” Xia Ning says. She takes out the towel to wipe the sweats on Zhenzhen’s forehead, “You may take a shower later. Spring is a season for bacteria to grow. We have to take care of ourselves.”
Zhenzhen nods, “OK. I will have a shower later.”
Zhenzhen is obedient. Xia Ning likes her. Suddenly, she remembers something. She asks, “Zhenzhen, Sister Xia is your good friend, isn’t she?”
“Surely, Sister Xia is Zhenzhen’s good friend!” Zhenzhen seriously responds, “Zhenzhen likes Sister Xia!”
“Sister Xia is Zhenzhen’s best friend. Then, is Sister Xia’s friend also Zhenzhen’s good friend?”
Zhenzhen blinks her eyes. She cocks her head and thinks for a while, “Hum. Sister Xia’s friend is also Zhenzhen’s good friend!”
Xia Ning is glad. She continues, “Zhenzhen, Sister Xia has a very good friend named Baoer. Baoer is a lovely tomboy. When you meet her, you will like her very much.”
“What is a tomboy?” Zhenzhen is confused.
“Tomboy is a girl who acts like a boy. She is straightforward and doesn’t care about trivial things. Sister Xia believes you and she will become very good friends.”
“If she is Sister Xia’s friend, she is surely Zhenzhen’s friend! Sister Xia, when can I meet this Sister Baoer?”
“You will meet her soon. Sister Baoer is also in C City.”
“That’s great. Zhenzhen has one more friend!” Zhenzhen claps her hands.
Xia Ning looks at Zhenzhen tenderly. She says secretly in her heart, “Zhenzhen, Baoer will be your friend and also your family in the future.”
“Zhenzhen, do you like C City?”
Zhenzhen stops. She innocently says, “I like the place where Sister Xia stays.”
“Then, do you like the place where your father stays?”
Dai Zhongheng’s voice is heard from behind. Xia Ning sends Zhenzhen to Dai Zhongheng, “Zhenzhen sweats. She needs to take a shower later.”
Dai Zhongheng nods. He holds Zhenzhen, “I will help you to take a shower. Sister Baoer will come here in the evening. Is Zhenzhen glad?”
Hearing this, both Xia Ning and Zhenzhen feel surprised. Zhenzhen claps her hands, “Yes. I am glad. Zhenzhen is going to have one more friend.”
Dai Zhongheng is aware that Xia Ning is worried. He says, “It is a little hasty, but it is better for Baoer to know sooner. Don’t worry. I have promised my father. I am not going to give up either Baoer or Zhenzhen.”
Xia Ning gives a light sigh. As a good friend of Baoer, she feels that Baoer is wronged this time no matter from which view of point.
She hopes nothing bad will happen.
Li Baoer gets the news that Dai Zhongheng comes back. She is so happy that she can’t speak rationally on the phone. But when she hears that she is asked to come to Mr. Dai’s, she feels nervous. It is lucky that Dai Zhongheng will go to pick her up in person. With Dai Zhongheng’s company, she will feel much more relaxed.
Mr. Dai has a regular agenda. Dinner will start at six o’clock punctually. So, Dai Zhongheng goes to pick up Li Baoer very early. They arrive on time.
Yi Yunrui and Mr. Dai are discussing something inside the house. Xia Ning holds Zhenzhen’s hand and waits for them by the door.
Dai Zhongheng wonders whether it is his illusion. He looks at Xia Ning and Zhenzhen. He feels something wrong there. They look strange.
The car stops in front of the gate. Dai Zhongheng and Li Baoer get off the car.
Zhenzhen sees Li Baoer. She greets politely, “Nice to meet you, Sister Baoer.”
Baoer looks at the beautiful lovely girl. She likes her at once. She goes to stroke Zhenzhen’s head, “Sweetheart, what’s your name?”
“My name is Zhenzhen! Sister Baoer, Sister Xia says that you are very nice and we will become good friends. Will we?”
“Yes. We will.” Li Baoer finds Zhenzhen obedient and clever. She likes her better.
“D...Uncle!” Zhenzhen sees Dai Zhongheng. She greets naturally but suddenly changes the words, “Uncle Dai, you are back!”
Hearing the word Uncle from Zhenzhen, Dai Zhongheng slightly frowns. But he feels inconvenient to ask in front of Li Baoer. He can’t but stroke Zhenzhen’s head. He turns to Xia Ning, asking what happened by his eyes.
Xia Ning curls her lips. He walks to Dai Zhongheng and says in a low voice, “It’s Mr. Dai’s requirement.”
When Dai Zhongheng left to pick up Li Baoer from her office, Mr. Dai specially told Zhenzhen to meet him. Mr. Dai and Zhenzhen stayed in the room for about twenty minutes. When Zhenzhen came out, she looked as if she was thinking about something. Xia Ning went to ask her what had happened. Zhenzhen cocked her head and said, “Sister Xia, I know he is not my father. I will not call him daddy again.”
Xia Ning was shocked to hear what she said.
Did Mr. Dai talk with her about something inside?
“Zhenzhen, don’t take it wrong. Colonel Dai loves you. We all love you. It is correct that Colonel Dai is not your biological father. But he will surely take good care of you.”
Zhenzhen closed her mouth and didn’t speak for quite a while. Xia Ning felt her heart almost jump up to her throat.
Wasn’t it a little cruel of Mr. Dai to do so to Zhenzhen, a girl of just five years old?
After quite a while, Zhenzhen suddenly smiled, “Hum. I surely know Sister Xia and Uncle Dai love Zhenzhen very much. So, Zhenzhen will behave very well!”
Xia Ning felt her face frozen. Did Zhenzhen call Colonel Dai...Uncle!
Dai Zhongheng listens to Xia Ning. He feels something inside his heart is pressed and he can hardly breathe.
This is his father’s way, which is always clear and efficient, with no personal emotions inside!
It is the same, even to a kid of just five years old!
