Gao Han also said sincerely: "Thank you for remembering my birthday, Feng Lu."
The two people looked at each other, and there was an undercurrent flowing in their eyes... However, when Feng Lulu realized this, she immediately looked away.
"Dinner is already prepared, come in and eat." She turned around and went inside.
Gao Han couldn't help feeling disappointed. Was she avoiding his gaze just now?
"Uncle Gao Han!" As soon as he stepped into the house, happy cheers rang out, and the little man ran towards him quickly.
Gao Han just had time to squat down and hold her in his arms.
"Uncle Gao Han, happy birthday!" A smile spread across his face with a big pop.
The lines on the face that were so cold and strong in the cold weather rarely softened.
"Mom, do you also want to kiss Uncle Gao Han?" Xiaoxiao turned around and invited warmly.
Children always want to share good things with their loved ones.
"Cough..." Gao Han seemed to be choking on his saliva, and a touch of red appeared on his cheeks.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Feng Lulu's face, but she looked away calmly, "Thank you Xiaoxiao, I won't accept it, mom."
She turned around and walked to the dining table, "If you don't come to eat, the food will really get cold."
Gao Han suppressed the disappointment in his heart and said, "Come on, Xiaoxiao, let's eat."
The three of them sat down at the dining table and faced these four dishes. Although there were quite a few, Feng Lulu always felt that they were a bit uninteresting.
After all, someone has a birthday today.
"Why don't I heat up the food?" By the way, I'll order takeout and add some vegetables.
With that said, Feng Lulu stood up.
"This is good." Gao Han grabbed Feng Lulu's hand.
The warmth in his palm immediately enveloped her hand, and the warmth spread to her heart, and her heart beat faster involuntarily.
She looked at him doubtfully.
A satisfied smile appeared on his lips: "That's good."
She instantly understood what he meant. It wasn't the food at all, it was because he felt very good about her company.
At this moment, Feng Lulu felt her heart skip a beat.
She immediately lowered her head to hide her emotions, "Just say... that's fine."
"Xiaoxiao, eat more." She was busy picking up food for Xiaoxiao, trying her best to calm down her mood.
"Thank you, Mom," the smiling big eyes moved dexterously, "Mom, why don't you pick up some food for uncle?"
Feng Lulu was slightly startled.
Can't this child just keep his head down and eat...
Looking at Gao Han again, he didn't try to smooth things over, as if he was waiting for her to pick up some food for him.
Feng Lulu pursed her lips and put a chicken wing into his bowl, "Wish you... a happy birthday..."
Well, it doesn't seem so embarrassing to say something.
Gao Han looked at her without hesitation, "Thank you." The tenderness in his eyes could drown people.
Feng Lulu quickly looked away. If she looked at it for one more second, she was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to breathe...
Serving Xiaoxiao some food was supposed to calm her mood, but instead it made her heart churn even more. This meal was so painful...
After finishing the meal, Feng Lulu hid in the kitchen and tidied up.
Through the kitchen glass, she saw Gao Han doing homework beside the coffee table with Xiaoxiao.
In front of my uncle, my smile when doing my homework was particularly cute.
You know, when Feng Lulu was tutoring her homework at home, Xiaoxiao was a person who could explain why one plus one equals two for two hours.
In the end, it ended with Feng Lulu lamenting why she was not a mathematician and surrendering.
Perhaps what Xiaoxiao needs is the company of "daddy", just like what every child needs.
Ever since Feng Lulu knew that Xiaoxiao was not her biological child, she always wanted to give Xiaoxiao more and better things.
It's just that this "dad" is indeed a bit difficult...
While she was thinking, the conversation between the two people in the living room drifted into her ears.
"Uncle, where can I buy the engraved seeds?" Xiaoxiao asked.
"Online."
"Uncle, can you buy some for me?"
"Xiaoxiao, what words do you want to engrave on it?"
Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said a few words with a little hesitation: "...healthy...happy...happy...Dad..."
Feng Lulu was surprised when she heard that these words combined together mean, "Dad is healthy and happy..."
It turns out that Xiaoxiao has always been thinking about Chen Haodong.
She didn't notice it at all!
"Uncle will buy it for you." Gao Han replied calmly.
His calm attitude gave Xiaoxiao great courage. In fact, she had always been very conflicted in her heart. Missing her father was uncontrollable and true, but when her father injured her mother, she felt that she should not care about him.
She thought Uncle Gao Han would blame her.
"Uncle, can I really buy these?" she asked uncertainly.
"Of course," Gao Han smiled slightly, "but you must finish your homework first."
"Yeah." Xiaoxiao nodded obediently.
Feng Lulu gently put down the dishes and took a deep breath.
Tonight, Feng Lulu and Xiaoxiao stayed at Gao Han's place.
Xiaoxiao made a strong request, saying that she wanted to spend the entire birthday with Gao Han.
Feng Lulu couldn't bear to refuse, so she had to agree.
At this time, Xiaoxiao had fallen asleep, with a hint of smile on her face.
Is it because I can spend his birthday with Gao Han, or because I bought the seeds of blessing?
Outside the window, the night was already deep and it was as quiet as water.
The whole villa has become quiet, and there is no movement upstairs.
Feng Lulu and Xiaoxiao lived in the guest room on the first floor. She quietly walked out of the room and wanted to go to the kitchen to drink water.
Just after turning the corner of the corridor, Gao Han came over unprepared, and the two almost bumped into each other.
Gao Han took action in time and grabbed Feng Lulu's shoulder.
At this moment, the two of them looked at each other, and all the heat from his breath blew onto her face, like a feather blowing.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, their eyes seemed to be glued together.
Feng Lulu came to her senses first and took a step back, "You... haven't slept yet."
"I...go to the terrace..." His eyes were still on her face and couldn't turn away.
"I'm going to drink water..." She walked past him.
Gao Han's heart moved, almost uncontrollably, and he grabbed her arm.
She turned her head in confusion.
"We can talk about Chen Haodong." He said.
She thought about it and said, yes, we can indeed have a chat.
She came to the terrace with a water glass and saw him sitting on a wicker chair on the terrace, facing the entrance of the garden.
The breeze blew the silk robe on his body, and his lonely figure looked so... lonely.
Does he often sit here alone, facing the entrance to the garden, waiting for the person he wants to see?
When he heard the footsteps, he turned around, and Feng Lulu's figure was reflected in his handsome eyes, and a smile suddenly appeared.
The loneliness she felt just now disappeared in an instant.
She is the one who can make him no longer lonely...
"Chen Haodong...how are you now?" She put down the water glass and stood on the edge of the terrace.
"The case is still under trial. With such a thick case file, it will take a lot of time just to figure out the charges."
"Xiaoxiao...can I go see her?"
"What do you think?" Gao Han asked.
Feng Lulu really didn't want Xiaoxiao to see Chen Haodong become a prisoner, but he and Xiaoxiao should both want to see each other.
"Chen Haodong has been looking for Xiaoxiao, including the people he sent to this city, for this purpose." Gao Han continued, with a hint of surprise in his voice.
To be honest, he was a little surprised when he interrogated the informants sent by Chen Haodong and heard that they were not helping Chen Haodong set up a business network and information network, but were looking for a little girl.
It's true that he was outrageously bad, but there was always a soft corner in his heart for his daughter.
"I have no objection to you arranging for Xiaoxiao to meet him." Feng Lulu shook her head gently, "Let me know when you have set the time, and I will bring Xiaoxiao there."
After saying that, Feng Lulu picked up the water glass and left.
Gao Han then stood up, his eyes full of expectation. He opened his mouth, but some words came to his lips, but he could not say them.
Feng Lulu stopped for a moment, and she felt his hot gaze.
But she did not turn her head, but continued forward, and her figure disappeared at the entrance of the terrace.
Gao Han couldn't help but feel sad, the expectation in his eyes turned into deep disappointment...
Feng Lulu returned to the room, Xiaoxiao was still sleeping soundly.
This place was no stranger to her, and she didn't recognize anything wrong with the bed.
Feng Lulu tucked Xiaoxiao into bed, then relaxed wholeheartedly, and sat back on the bed.
She took out the small blue box, opened it, and saw the ring in the box again, still feeling incredible.
What she thought would be lost forever was returned to her hands intact!
These were all given to her by Gao Han.
She was very touched and happy, and her feelings for him...actually never disappeared.
She understood that he also hoped that they could go back to the past.
However, there was always a hurdle in her heart.
Putting the ring away, she turned off the light and got into bed.
When you have a problem that you can't figure out, the best way is to have a good sleep.
Tomorrow is another brand new day.
She looked out the window at the stars in the night sky and said silently to herself.
Good night.
A few days later, Gao Han sent her a message, saying that it had been arranged for Chen Haodong and Xiaoxiao to meet.
Feng Lulu replied to Gao Han: Xiaoxiao has dance classes after school.
Gao Han replied: Chen Haodong is about to enter the trial process. If you miss today, you will have to wait for half a year.
Well, Feng Lulu admitted that the dance class is not the key, the key is that she is still uneasy about the meeting between father and daughter.
Gao Han comforted her: I will make arrangements.
These few words gave her great strength and she believed in him.
**
Inside the detention center, the lights are dim.
Chen Haodong sat quietly on his little bed, motionless, as if his soul was wandering outside.
Two consecutive months of interrogation, evidence collection, and identification at the scene made him very haggard.
In the past two months, he was forced to review what he had done for most of his life, and his energy and physical strength were exhausted to the limit.
Yesterday, his lawyer told him that the trial process would begin next, and he actually felt relieved.
If he was found guilty one day earlier and entered the atonement process one day earlier, maybe he would be able to accumulate more blessings for Xiaoxiao.
As a father, what he can do for his daughter now is so pitiful.
"Bang." Suddenly he heard a knock on the door. He turned his head and saw a familiar figure in his eyes.
This person used to be a thorn in his side.
But seeing him now, Chen Haodong's dry eyes flashed with a rare light...
"Gao Han!" He stood up immediately, "Xiao Xiao, are you okay?"
Gao Han didn't say anything, and put a new set of clothes, a razor, and a pair of leather shoes on the bed one after another.
"When you see her, you can ask her yourself." Gao Han said softly.
