Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Li Baoer meets Mr. Dai. She suddenly hides her tomboy personality totally and stands quietly by Dai Zhongheng. She looks very polite and obedient.

Mr. Dai talks with Li Baoer for a little while. Butler Wang has got dinner ready. Everyone takes their seats by the table.

“Sister Baoer, may I sit with you?” Zhenzhen walks to Li Baoer and asks in a low voice.

Li Baoer is surprised. She smiles, “Of course. Come here. Sit down.”

“Thank you, Sister.” Zhenzhen responds and quietly sits down by Li Baoer.

Xia Ning is very confused to see Zhenzhen’s actions. It is the first time for Zhenzhen to meet Li Baoer today. Why does she suddenly require to sit by Baoer?

Zhenzhen is very familiar with Xia Ning. She is an obedient girl, but it is impossible for her to be so active with a stranger.

Seemingly, Mr. Dai talked with Zhenzhen about something.

Thinking of this, Xia Ning glances at Zhenzhen, who happens to look at her. Zhenzhen’s innocent eyes gleam in a panic and embarrassment. She lowers her head.

Xia Ning feels her heart aching. Unconsciously, she clenches her fists.

Mr. Dai likes quietness. He is serious. So, when they are eating, basically, no one dares to speak, except that he chats with Yi Yunrui for some trivial issues. As to his son Dai Zhongheng, during the dinner, Mr. Dai hardly gives him a glimpse.

It feels a little depressing.

Xia Ning only pays attention to the food. Yi Yunrui continuously picks the food for her. On the opposite side of her, Li Baoer also has a full bowl of foods picked by Dai Zhongheng. And Zhenzhen also has a lot of food in her bowl picked by Li Baoer.

The dinner is finished in silence.

After dinner, Butler Wang serves fruits and snacks. He serves the tea, too.

Mr. Dai drinks the tea. He glances at Dai Zhongheng and Li Baoer, “Heng, Baoer, when are you going to get married?”

Not expecting Mr. Dai will ask so directly, Li Baoer blushes all of a sudden. Dai Zhongheng consciously glances at Zhenzhen. The little girl lowers her head for the tea. Dai Zhongheng feels his heart stuck, “We need some more time to get prepared. It may be in one or two months.”

“If you have decided it, you should give the title to Baoer as soon as possible to avoid troubles brought by delaying.” Mr. Dai turns to Zhenzhen, “Zhenzhen, do you like Sister Baoer?”

Zhenzhen is shocked. She lifts her head to glance at Mr. Dai and turns to Li Baoer. She blinks her big eyes and nods, “Yes. I like Sister Baoer very much.”

Mr. Dai is just going to speak, when Zhenzhen gets closer to Li Baoer and asks, “Sister Xia, were you born in C City?”

“No. I was born in B City. I came to C City to work.” Li Baoer strokes Zhenzhen’s head. She has a desire to pinch Zhenzhen’s pinky cheek.

The girl is really cute.

“Is your home far away from here?”

“Well…It is quite far. It may take over twenty minutes by car.”

Zhenzhen thinks for a while, “Sister Baoer, Zhenzhen has few friends here. Can I go to see you?”

Li Baoer brightens her eyes, “Of course. But I am only free in the evening. Well. How about I come here to play with you when I am on vacation?”

“Hum.” Zhenzhen nods and smiles. Then, she lowers her head to eat fruit.

Xia Ning sits there and looks at them. She feels weird. Zhenzhen looks kind of… reluctant.

“Father.” Dai Zhongheng who was silent suddenly speaks, “Can I talk with you in the study?”

Mr. Dai puts down the teacup and stands up to walk directly to the study.

“Baoer, you stay here. I will be back soon.” Dai Zhongheng says to Baoer and turns to follow his father.

Dai Zhongheng closes the door of the study and stands in front of Mr. Dai seriously.

Dai Zhen sees the rare expression on his son’s face. He speaks, “What’s it. You may speak.”

“Father, what on earth did you say to Zhenzhen?”

Mr. Dai freezes his face, “I told the girl the truth. You were not her father. I also warned the kid that if she wanted to stay, she had to get Baoer’s approval. Or, I would send her to the orphanage.”

“Father!” Dai Zhongheng doesn’t expect that his father says so. He changes his color, “Zhenzhen is only five years old! You told her these things. She couldn’t understand. Father, don’t you think what you did is too hard on her?”

Mr. Dai stares at Dai Zhongheng, “I only want to know who you are going to be responsible for? A kid has nothing to do with you? Or the woman you love most?”

Mr. Dai hits the point. Dai Zhongheng is shocked blankly.

“Heng, some things can’t be borne only by a few words. You have to be responsible for the people who love you! As to the kid, if it is possible, we can keep her here and try our best to love her. But we have to make it clear that love is not for free. She has to earn it by her efforts to get into the strange family. She is five years old. She can understand.”

Dai Zhongheng frowns seriously. He understands what his father says is reasonable. However, as to Zhenzhen…he remembers her expressions and he can’t bear them.

Mr. Dai is aware of Dai Zhongheng’s reluctance. He says seriously, “Heng, you are a man, an army man. You need to be decisive! If you fail to make correct decisions in time, you will have to suffer the consequences! You need to understand what is most important to you. Don’t neglect it for other things! Besides, do you think you can really take good care of a kid by yourself? Don’t forget your mission! Have you ever thought about who can take care of Zhenzhen when you are away? Me? Or Baoer? You bring a kid with you. Who you will owe most?”

Dai Zhongheng blinks his eyes. It all clicks in his brain!

He is an army man, the leader of Falcon Special Forces! He is a special man who risks his life every day. He may be unable to take good care of himself, not to mention a kid!”

If he marries Baoer, when he is out for missions, Zhenzhen has to be taken care of by Baoer. That is, the person who is actually taking up the burden is Baoer.

As a matter of fact, it is hard for Baoer to be with him who may get in danger anytime. Now, he brought Zhenzhen…If Zhenzhen can’t get along well with Baoer, Baoer will be more tired.

Thinking about this, Dai Zhongheng feels his heart aching. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, “Father, sorry. I am thoughtless.”

Mr. Dai sees that his son understands. He doesn’t continue. He signs, “Baoer is a good girl. She is considerate to you. I believe that there won’t be any problems for her to accept Zhenzhen. You are the future master of your family. You should figure out how to coordinate their relations.”

“Yes. Father, I understand.”

Mr. Dai and Dai Zhongheng go into the study and don’t come out for quite some time. Li Baoer feels a little nervous. She turns to Xia Ning, “Ning, did anything happen before I come here?”
