Chapter 113 Warm Coaxing

The setting sun had completely disappeared into the sky, and the moon had quietly appeared out of nowhere, its bright light reflecting off the bright incandescent lights on the beach.

The girl and the man sat on chairs eating fragrant grilled skewers, enjoying the cool sea breeze; life was peaceful and serene.

"Uncle Dan, I need to use the restroom." Gu Zhaodi felt she had drunk a bit too much tonight.

Dan An glanced at the restroom not far away, hidden in a dark spot on the beach. He was a little uneasy about it, especially since it was surrounded by people drinking and eating barbecue.

"I'll go with you; I'm worried about leaving you alone."

Gu Zhaodi glanced at the restroom, which was a few dozen meters away. Well, apart from the dim yellow light shining from the door, the surrounding area was completely dark, especially since there was a bottomless forest behind the restroom.

After the girl went into the restroom, the man stood a few meters away, one hand in his pocket and the other holding his phone, slowly scrolling through today's news.

The first thing I saw was the message from Danmu.

Danmu: Zhao Zhao, are you alright with the change in environment today?

Last night, Gu Zhaodi had let Dan's mother know she was safe while at the guesthouse, but she was worried about her mother after learning that she had a poor appetite during the day.

Dan Anwen: No, I just slept too much yesterday. I can eat and drink normally now.

Mother: I didn't ask Zhao Zhao in front of her, what was the reason you took her to Weihai alone for her coming-of-age ceremony?

This question still baffles Dan's mother. She knows her son well; he has always been calm and reserved, and is not the type to act impulsively.

Moreover, they're making a fuss about Zhao Zhao's important and meaningful coming-of-age ceremony.

Dan Anwen secretly rubbed his fingertips, which were tucked in his pocket, and then quickly touched the phone screen with his slender fingertips.

Dan Anwen: He really did bring her to see the sea.

Danmu: Isn't Nan'an City also by the sea? Why go all the way to the north?

Dan Anwen: The sea here isn't as beautiful as the one in Weihai.

One sentence successfully killed the conversation. Dan's mother didn't ask any more questions, afraid that Dan Anwen would make her furious.

Both of them had already arrived in Weihai, and nothing could be changed.

Just as Dan Anwen was about to put his phone back in his pocket, a message from Shen Jiyang popped up.

Shen Jiyang: What do you think? Isn't my idea great? Doesn't it give me more opportunities to spend time alone with Zhao Zhao?

The man's tall and imposing figure was hidden in the dim light, making it impossible to see the expression on his face. The evening breeze, carrying the scent of the sea, blew against the strands of hair that hung slightly on the man's forehead.

Dan Anwen: You can have that sports car you wanted last time.

Sitting in the private room, Shen Jiyang stared at the message on his phone, his face filled with disbelief.

"Third brother is really generous." She blinked her alluring peach blossom eyes and muttered a comment to herself.

Dan Anwen usually drives a black Maybach, but his garage has just as many sports cars as Shen Jiyang, who is obsessed with cars.

However, because it is not used often, it has been sitting idle in the underground garage. The limited edition Bugatti Veyron in the garage has been something that Shen Jiyang has been envious of for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that the only one in the country was in Dan Anwen's hands, Shen Jiyang would have definitely used some means to get his hands on it.

Shen Jiyang stroked his smooth chin, thinking that this deal was indeed a good one.

No, because people are priceless, so it's not surprising to give away a mere limited edition sports car.

Shen Jiyang: Brother, if you ever have to chase Zhao Zhao again, be sure to come to me. I'm your consultant, available 24/7.

Dan Anwen's lips twitched slightly.

Of all the ideas the fourth brother came up with, bringing the kids to Weihai was the most reliable. He had to make all the arrangements himself.

You really can't rely on someone who's all sweet talk but has no real experience.

"Handsome, want to add me on WeChat?" A woman with long hair and heavy makeup, wearing a red dress, walked up to the man, her tone and expression extremely charming.

Dan Anwen slightly lifted her lowered eyelids, then shifted her gaze back to the phone in her hand.

The woman never expected that her outstanding qualities and looks would lead to such a setback. She had been watching this stunning man for a long time at a barbecue stall not far away.

He exudes an air of asceticism, and even his casual clothes cannot conceal his noble and gentle temperament; every gesture he makes is full of gentlemanly and aristocratic demeanor.

However, thinking that she wouldn't mind shamelessly asking for the WeChat of such a perfect man, the woman regained her confidence, put on an even more alluring smile, and said in a coquettish tone, "Handsome, let's get to know each other. I've been watching you for a long time."

Fearing she didn't have enough leverage, the woman subtly shifted her position, her red dress perfectly showcasing her curvaceous figure.

The woman was standing directly in front of the man, blocking his view of the children coming out.

The man frowned, his tone turning cold, "You're blocking my view."

"Huh?" The woman was clearly surprised, unable to believe that such a stunning beauty as her could not move the man in front of her.

Just as he was about to say something more, he heard the man's voice, which sounded like it was filled with ice, "My girlfriend is in the bathroom, please stay away from me."

As he spoke, the man moved to a different position.

The woman was even more confused. She had been observing the man for a long time and noticed that he only had a little girl who looked like she was underage with him. Could that little girl be his girlfriend?

Her once charming and affectionate gaze instantly turned contemptuous, and she felt that the man in front of her was a hypocrite.

The woman was still somewhat unwilling to believe the character of the refined and gentlemanly man in front of her, wondering if the little girl looked young but was actually an adult.

Just then, Gu Zhaodi came out of the bathroom and walked straight to Dan Anwen, calling out to the man, "Uncle Dan, let's go back."

"good."

The man and the girl walked side by side toward the barbecue stand, their silhouettes appearing remarkably harmonious.

Uncle Dan?

My goodness, it's a forbidden love!

The woman was left alone, bewildered in the wind.

"Uncle Dan, who was that woman just now?" Gu Zhaodi glanced at the woman standing there, stunned.

Dan Anwen spoke casually, offering a nonchalant excuse: "Standing there in the wind."

Gu Zhaodi's eyes immediately looked strange. She really was a strange woman, standing at the toilet door getting a breeze.

It can only be described as two beautiful misunderstandings.

......

Gu Zhaodi woke up to the sound of seagulls on the beach in the morning. Just as she was about to start her birthday day full of energy, an ominous premonition welled up in her heart.

Looking down at the bright menstrual blood stain on the white sheets, she felt like dying.

She quickly took out the sanitary napkins the man had stuffed into her suitcase and rushed into the bathroom.

When Gu Zhaodi appeared in the living room, her face was full of unhappiness and depression.

Dan Anwen, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, looked up and saw her expression.

"Little girl, what's wrong?" the man said, putting down his newspaper and gently touching the girl's head, which was drooping to the ground, with his large, well-defined hand.

Gu Zhaodi's eyes held a hint of resentment, and her tone was aggrieved, "Uncle Dan, I'm on my period, so I can't go swimming."

The more she talked, the more aggrieved she felt. She finally had a chance to swim at the beach, but her period ruined her plans.

Upon hearing the girl's words, Dan An's first thought was to ask if her stomach hurt.

The man's eyes were gentle, and he asked in a coaxing tone, "Does your stomach hurt now?"

The girl shook her head weakly. Her stomach didn't hurt. Over the past year, the man had used various methods to nourish her. Not only had her body developed, but she had also grown to the man's shoulder height. Even her period came on time every month.

Seeing that the girl's complexion was still rosy, unlike her previous pale face, the man coaxed her gently, "We can't go swimming at the beach this time, but when we get back to Nan'an City, I'll take you to swim at that beach over there, okay?"

He hadn't anticipated this unexpected situation. He had calculated that the child's period should start the day after tomorrow, but he never expected it to come early.

The gentle, comforting voice made the girl instantly realize that she had been a little dramatic just now.

"Okay." The girl nodded obediently.

Breakfast was delivered to the room by the guesthouse staff at Dan Anwen's request, and Gu Zhaodi was already sitting obediently at the table waiting.

After placing the food from the doorway onto the dining table, Dan Anwen first moved the bowl of reddish-brown brown sugar water in front of her.

"Drink this first." Dan Anwen stared at the brown sugar water in front of the girl.

Gu Zhaodi looked at the bowl of steaming brown sugar water on the table, unsure whether she should take a sip.

Hot weather paired with steaming hot brown sugar water doesn't seem like the best combination at all.

“Uncle Dan…” the girl blinked her big, watery eyes.

The man understood what she meant; she just thought the brown sugar water was too hot, and since her stomach didn't hurt, she didn't need to drink it.

"Wait until it cools down before drinking it." The man's tone was so gentle and coaxing that it was almost sickeningly sweet.

The girl's face instantly lit up with a smile, and she replied in a soft, seductive voice, "Okay."
