Chapter 146: Father and Mother
Ding Rong thought that the reason there was something wrong with Huo Tian’s emotions was only because Si Huan had done something to move her.
On an event like a banquet or ball, young men and women would hug each other and dance. It was very easy for them to feel moved under the influence of their hormones.
Ding Rong was not like those parents who’d take strict measurements to prevent their child from getting into a relationship at a young age just because Huo Tian had developed a favorable impression for her dance partner. After Huo Tian fell asleep, Ding Rong helped her put away the clothes and accessories she wore to go out today. However, she could not sleep anymore.
Ding Rong sat by Huo Tian’s bed and stared at her daughter’s tranquil sleeping face for a while. A blissful and nostalgic smile suddenly appeared on her lips. “Should I not interfere too much in Tiantian’s relationship? After all, we knew each other and had gotten together at this age too. Therefore, there’s no need for us to deprive the children of their right to fall in love at a young age, right?”
Ding Rong’s voice was very soft, and Huo Tian, who was fast asleep, did not hear her. She only frowned slightly and her eyes darted around uneasily.
Ding Rong thought that she had woken Huo Tian up, so she quickly patted her blanket gently. Huo Tian turned around and fell asleep again.
Unlike Huo Tian, who was sound asleep and unaffected, even though Xi Cheng was in another country tens of thousands of kilometers away, he suddenly sneezed a few times without warning.
Coincidentally, he had just mentioned his unfamiliar child to Butler William. He said mysteriously, “I heard that there’s a saying in China that if I sneeze for no reason, it means that someone is thinking of me. William, do you think it could be my wife or my child?”
He didn’t need the butler’s reply and said, “Will my child be a boy or a girl? I prefer it if he’s a boy. This way, he’d be able to protect his mother and himself…”
However, he then kept shaking his head. “No, no, no… Forget about that. A nice-smelling and soft girl is more adorable. Moreover, a daughter is her mommy’s caring child. She’ll definitely be able to help me take care of her mother…”
Xi Cheng looked even more at a loss than those new fathers whose wives had just gotten pregnant. The butler initially wanted to ignore him, but looking at the surroundings, he could only helplessly walk up and bow as he said, “Master, regardless if the child you and Madam give birth to is a young master or young miss, I believe that they will definitely become a child one could be proud of. Don’t make any wild guesses. If we find Young Master or Young Miss in the future, and they end up being a far cry from your guesses, it might cause Young Master or Young Miss to feel inferior. For the sake of your future family harmony, I hope you won’t say what you had said earlier in the future.”
“My son or daughter must have the same magnanimity as me! They won’t be as sensitive and petty as you make them out to be!” Xi Cheng muttered awkwardly, but he stopped making guesses about the child.
William’s ears finally quietened down a little. He looked at the time and pushed the wheelchair for Xi Cheng, saying, “Master, your private plane is about to take off. Since you’ve chosen to believe in a Chinese company that has just been established, I hope you can continue to get good luck this time around.”
Xi Cheng heaved a long sigh of relief and said, “William, I believe in my judgment and that I won’t lose this gamble. Just you wait. The next time we meet, I’ll definitely walk over to you by myself to give you a tight hug!”
William’s gaze looked slightly moved, but his expression did not change. He only smiled slightly and said softly, “Master has always had good luck in gambling. I also hope that Master can continue to win this time. It’s not just Master’s legs. I also hope that when we meet again, Master can bring Madam as well as Young Master, or Young Miss to walk towards me.”
Xi Cheng laughed heartily when he imagined that scene. However, as he laughed, tears actually welled up in the corners of his eyes. He was afraid that others would see his loss of composure, so he quickly wiped his face indiscriminately, hiding all his weak emotions at the bottom of his heart.
It was time to board the plane. William brought Xi Cheng to the private plane. The interior of the plane was very spacious and the entire cabin crew was serving Xi Cheng alone.
However, Xi Cheng did not want to be surrounded by many people and be given meticulous treatment as one would give a disabled person. Hence, Xi Cheng waved his hand and told the cabin crew to try not to appear in front of him.
He took out his tablet again and clicked on the video of that product launch. This was the umpteenth time he had watched it in the past few days. Xi Cheng could even recite the difficult jargon Huo Tian had used, but this time around, he continued to watch it patiently…
He looked at the girl on the stage who confidently and calmly talked about the design concepts of the products. His thoughts drifted away again and he could not help but compare the blurry image of his blurry daughter he had in his heart with the girl in the video…
