However, seeing that her son was in such good spirits, Tang Xiaoai didn't ask Tang Zongxian anything, and she lit the candle as he was told.
Tang Baobao clapped his hands and cheered, rushing to make a wish with his mommy, "Mommy, Mommy, can you leave me a wish and let me make it." Tang Baobao moved his slender body and chirped.
He got into Tang Xiaoai's arm and came close to her arms. He stared at the birthday cake with a pair of dazzling black eyes, full of expectation and novelty.
"Can I leave you three wishes?" Tang Xiaoai said dotingly as she leaned on him and asked him to stand still.
"Okay, you're welcome then, Mommy." Tang Baobao's eyes flashed and he looked up at Tang Xiaoai with excitement.
"Little greedy kid, make a wish quickly, or the candle will eat the cake." Whenever she sees the innocent smile on her son's face, Tang Xiaoai feels particularly relaxed, as if she has forgotten all the disputes.
Only when she is with her son can she feel that she still has a pure land.
When Tang Baobao heard this, he was even more happy. He quickly turned his head, closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, grinned at the corner of his mouth, but made a wish with a very pious expression, "The first wish is that I want to be with Mommy.
Grandpa will always be together." Tang Baobao smiled and said it loudly.
Looking at Tang Baobao's carefree and innocent look, Tang Xiaoai was in a cheerful mood. She smiled behind him and said, "How can anyone tell their wishes and where did they learn this?"
"Mommy, don't interrupt. You have to say your wish out loud, otherwise the people who want to help you realize your wish don't know how to help you realize your wish..." Tang Baobao closed his eyes and looked decent.
Tang Zongxian also laughed when he heard his grandson's words, and smiled happily.
Smart little devil, Tang Xiaoai laughed and shook his head.
"The second wish is that I will appear on a TV show tomorrow. I want everyone to recognize my face. When I grow up, I want to be a star. Hehe..." Tang Baobao smiled very wickedly.
Tang Zongxian silently wrote it down in his mind.
After pondering for a while, Tang Baobao finally expressed his third wish, "The third and most important wish is that I want to know who my father is, see him and trample him to death!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaoai's hand that was picking up vegetables suddenly stopped and looked at his son in disbelief.
Tang Zongxian was stunned when he drank Lafite, and then he chuckled and took one gulp of the mellow Lafite.
"The promise is over, blow out the candles." Tang Baobao opened his eyes, clapped his hands happily, pouted and blew out the candles one by one.
Tang Xiaoai was still in disbelief at Tang Baobao's third wish. She glanced at Tang Zongxian, twitched the corners of her mouth with a dry smile, and helped Baobao blow out the candle.
Three generations of the family had a great time eating this birthday dinner. Baby Tang also cheered and made noise like a naughty monkey for a long time. Finally, he got tired from the fuss and fell asleep in Tang Xiaoai's arms.
After putting Tang Baobao on the bed to sleep, Tang Xiaoai walked to the living room and saw Tang Zongxian's steady body standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, smoking facing the window, his back a little depressed.
Tang Xiaoai walked over gently and broke his silence, "Why did you bring the baby here all of a sudden? Don't tell me it was just to celebrate my birthday." Tang Xiaoai had a slight smile on his lips, but his words were unambiguous.
Cut the topic.
Tang Zongxian turned around and faced her head-on, with a slightly kind face on his reserved face, "I didn't bring him here, I chased him here."
Tang Xiaoai blinked.
"You are right. Maybe you experienced too many adventures when you were pregnant with him, which gave him the ability to bear no fear. This guy tricked my secretary into buying him a plane ticket, and also tricked her.
I sent him to the airport and flew over to you to celebrate your birthday. If my secretary hadn't told me in time for fear of something happening, I wouldn't have been able to get to the baby." Tang Zongxian explained the situation. In fact, he came after the baby this time.
It might not be a good thing, at least he can watch his daughter and no longer let her make mistakes and suffer.
Tang Zongxian sighed secretly and was not going to let this topic go, "How about it, how does it feel to revisit the place where you and him first started?" He raised his eyebrows and stared at Tang Xiaoai, not letting go of her expression.
Tang Xiaoai's heart paused, shrugged, and smiled lightly, "I don't feel it."
Tang Zongxian seemed to have expected her reaction, and he lowered his head slightly, "A person's growth needs to pay a price, but when you pay the price, you must truly grow. The real letting go is not to force yourself to forget, but to face it.
When you pass by, you don’t feel anything. This is true maturity.”
Tang Xiaoai was startled, as if her father had read through his thoughts, but because of these words, her heart suddenly opened up a little bit. She raised her head and looked at her father. After looking at him for a while, she said, "I
I know, thank you dad." She now understands that her dad arranged for her to return to Yanfeng Hotel and room 6066 to help her overcome her psychological barrier.
"You don't have to be polite to me. I haven't fulfilled my duties as a father in the past ten years. It's because I'm sorry for you and your mother and made you suffer so much. I have an unshirkable responsibility." Tang Zongxian turned around and looked at
Outside the window, there was self-blame and desolation in his eyes. The biggest regret in his life was that he could not see the woman he once loved most for the last time. She disappeared from this world and would never appear in front of him again. Whenever he thought of Xu Huimin,
Thinking of that past made his heart ache. It was an irreparable regret.
Tang Xiaoai saw his loneliness and comforted her slightly, "Everything has passed. I believe that my mother's spirit in heaven will understand you..." She could only say this, but thinking of her mother, she felt pain in her heart.
And the hatred overflowed uncontrollably.
Tang Zongxian rubbed his eyebrows and laughed at his sudden emotion. He shouldn't be like this in front of his daughter. The top priority now is to let his daughter truly grow up. He sighed and came back to his senses, patting Tang Xiaoai.
on his shoulder, "Stop talking about me. I hope you can take care of the company and have a correct way of dealing with everything in the past."
Tang Xiaoai opened her eyes and looked at the dark sky outside the window. A sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, and a cold sparkle appeared in her eyes, "Don't worry, I have understood a lot of things in cultivating my health in the past few years. The reason why I failed so much a few years ago is
Because I was too careless and underestimated the darkness of human nature. I originally thought that giving in would give me consideration, but I didn’t know that I gave the other party the opportunity to hurt me again and again. Since God has left me this life, I will never
Making the same mistake again."
Tang Zongxian frowned and was about to say something, but Tang Xiaoai turned around with a grateful smile on his lips, "Speaking of which, in the car accident 6 years ago, if Dad hadn't arrived in time, I might have really
The body was about to sink into the sea beyond recognition." The disaster 6 years ago has been Tang Xiaoai's nightmare. Every day she would be tortured by nightmares and wake up. Fortunately, she has survived the most difficult moment.
"I'm also sweating. Fortunately, I have double-sided protection to ensure that it is foolproof. Otherwise, I am afraid it will be a devastating regret. When I first met you and saw that you look so much like your mother, I
I began to wonder if you were my daughter, so I deliberately gave you those real estate planning projects, so that I would have the opportunity to get close to you, get to know you, and conduct a more in-depth investigation of you. Until that night, I was sent to follow you.
When people saw you going to the cemetery, crying and calling mom, and the name written on the tombstone was Xu Huimin, I completely confirmed that you were my daughter." Tang Zongxian said.
Tang Xiaoai didn't say anything and smiled bitterly.
Tang Zongxian continued in a deep voice, "When I figured out the intricate context and thought of a reason to recognize you and bring you back to me, I suddenly got the news that someone was going to kill you, and you had no choice but to escape with Mo Li.
, I know that Mo Li is not a peaceful person. There must be something wrong with him agreeing to you so quickly. In order to protect you, I have thought of all the ways.
That time, there were several cars intercepting you in front of the elevated highway. They were sent by me, and the ships that happened to pass by under the sea were also arranged by me to guard there. Fortunately, you were sitting on the edge of the car door. Thank God you were already caught before the car exploded.
It was thrown out of the car door and fell into the sea. It was not blown up with the car and no bones were left.
The sailors I sent were agile and shrewd, and they knew how to jump down and rescue you as soon as possible." Thinking about it now, Tang Zongxian was still frightened. Fortunately, he thought more about it, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"But I don't understand, why did Dad know that the car would have problems and roll into the sea, so he made such thorough preparations?" Tang Xiaoai frowned, feeling confused and unable to figure it out.
"I am a cautious and careful person, and I like to consider everything in an all-round way. It's just a mistake." Tang Zongxian looked away and spoke very naturally, as if he had prepared lines long ago.
Tang Xiaoai was suspicious, but seeing that her father didn't want to say anything, she didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject, "I heard that the president of Yanfeng Hotel has not been running this hotel for a few years. I
I want to acquire it, Dad, what do you think?"
Tang Zongxian's eyes flashed, he smiled angrily, and said casually, "Just do whatever you want without reporting to me."
"Well, then I will start working on the specific matters tomorrow." Tang Xiaoai's smile was very meaningful.
…
Tang Baobao slept soundly all night. He had no idea what good dreams he had. There was always a smile on the corner of his small mouth, and sometimes he even giggled.
It wasn't until his mommy picked him up carelessly that he rubbed his sleepy eyes and said with an unhappy face, "Mommy, you woke me up..."
"Get up quickly, your wish is about to come true. There are a lot of reporters at the door to pick you up and take you to the TV station..." Tang Xiaoai said to him while busy helping him get dressed.
Tang Baobao's sleepy eyes, which had been unable to open, suddenly brightened up and stared, "Will my second wish come true? Wow, it's so effective. Could that be..." Tang Baobao grinned, his eyes widening.
Looking ahead with all his eyes, he didn't know what exciting scene he saw...
