"Dad, will you leave again this time you come back?"
While playing, Kang An asked, "Xiao Hua has been too busy lately, so busy that she's neglecting the child a bit."
Kang An is a very sensible child. Although she didn't say anything, she longed for her mother to go out to work less and spend more time playing with her.
She's at an age where she should be having fun.
But her mother leaves her with the nanny every day. The nanny is old and doesn't know many things, so most of the time she plays by herself while the nanny watches her play.
She found it quite boring.
Kang An was undoubtedly the happiest person about He Yan's return this time.
He Yan patted his daughter's head and replied affectionately, "Daddy won't leave again. Wherever Kang An is, Daddy will be there. Daddy will always be with you."
"Oh yeah, thank you Dad, I love you!" Kang An said, giving He Yan's handsome face two big kisses.
This left He Yanle completely bewildered.
When Xiao Hua woke up and came out of the room, she saw He Yan holding Kang An in his lap, reading a story to the child in a beautiful voice.
The child listened with great interest.
Xiaohua, not wanting to disturb them, quietly retreated to her room and gently closed the door.
She asked nothing more of He Yan, only hoping that he could fulfill his role as a father and take full responsibility for his child.
"Bang bang~" A knocking sound rang out on the door.
"Xiaohua, are you awake? It's Saturday, so you shouldn't have class tonight. Kang'an wants to eat pasta. Let's take the kids to eat pasta together, and then we'll take them to the amusement park for a while."
He Yan knew Xiao Hua's class schedule very well, including how many classes she had per week, which days she had classes, and which days she didn't.
Xiao Hua. She wanted to refuse, wanting He Yan to take the child out to eat by herself, and then go to the amusement park, but then she realized that she hadn't had any time to spend with her daughter lately.
They were only preoccupied with their own affairs.
Forget it, even if they're divorced, they're still the children's parents. It's just that they're having a meal together with the kids, it's nothing.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll change my clothes."
Xiao Hua readily agreed, which surprised He Yan somewhat. It seemed that after their divorce, Xiao Hua's aversion to him wasn't so strong anymore. It seemed that the divorce was quite appropriate. He Yan suddenly found it a bit ridiculous.
Xiaohua took out a camel-colored wool coat from the closet, paired with a high-necked fitted sweater, black jeans, and khaki Martin boots.
He tied his hair into a loose low bun. Because he hadn't rested well for the past few days, he looked terrible, but thinking that it would be better to look radiant when taking the kids out to play, he put on some light makeup.
She is quick and efficient; it only took her 15 minutes from changing her clothes to putting on makeup.
When she opened the door and came out, He Yan's eyes lit up when he saw her simple yet refreshing outfit. He even wondered narcissistically why she was wearing makeup when she went out with him.
Is it true that women dress up for men they want to please? It has to be said that even after the divorce, he still likes to fantasize.
He thought to himself, "How come she has such a great sense of style? She always dresses differently from other girls, looking beautiful and fashionable."
"Mom, are you coming out with us too?"
Kang An had no hope, every time she wanted her mother to go out with her.
Xiao Hua always says to her: I'm sorry, baby, Mommy has been too busy lately. Mommy really doesn't have time to go out and play with you. Baby, please understand Mommy, okay?
"Once Mom is done with this busy period, she'll definitely take you out to play," Xiaohua always says to her.
So much so that the child had no hope for Xiaohua at all. This time, she was pleasantly surprised that her mother was willing to go out with her.
Seeing the look of surprise on her daughter's face, Xiaohua felt extremely guilty.
No matter how busy you are, you should spend time with your children. You can't use being busy as an excuse not to spend time with them.
"Yes, why not? Don't you want Mom to go out with you? Then you can go out with your dad, I won't go."
As Xiaohua spoke, she pretended to take off her bag. Kang'an immediately rushed over and hugged Xiaohua's leg, saying, "No, no, I'm so happy that Mommy is going out with me!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at He Yan and added, "And Dad."
He Yan drove, and Xiao Hua and the child sat in the back.
Having your own car is so convenient. Xiaohua also wants to own her own car so she can go wherever she wants without having to take a taxi. Sometimes, at some remote intersections, it's impossible to flag down a car, and she has to wait a long time.
In this day and age, cars are considered luxury items and are extremely expensive. Xiaohua doesn't have much money to buy a car, and she also doesn't have time to learn to drive.
However, she believes that she will definitely become a female driver with a car in the future.
"Xiaohua, how's your school going? Is everything going smoothly? If you encounter any difficulties, don't hesitate to ask me. Don't be shy, after all, I am Kang'an's father."
Xiaohua had no intention of engaging in much conversation with him, so she casually replied, "It's alright, everything went smoothly. If you need anything, I'll definitely ask you; I won't be polite."
In reality, her school was not doing very well, and she felt exhausted every day.
Sometimes she even doubts herself, wondering why the result is so different from what she imagined.
Has she been too idealistic about this era? Everyone says the 90s were an era of easy money, where anyone with a brain could get rich. It seems she was just being too naive and having too idealistic fantasies.
If anyone with a brain could get rich, there would be no poor people in the world.
He Yan could tell from her perfunctory attitude that she wouldn't come to him even if she encountered difficulties, and he felt very disappointed.
"From now on, you don't need to worry about the child. I don't have many classes, and I'll come over to take care of the child when I'm not teaching. You can just focus on your own things."
He Yan tried to keep the carriage quiet by making conversation.
Xiaohua nodded: "Okay, then thank you for your hard work."
He Yan turned his head to look at the mother and daughter in the back seat, and reached out to pat Kang An's head affectionately, saying, "I'm taking care of my own daughter. What's the point of talking about hardship? This is what I should do."
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Xiao Hua immediately spotted Zhou Musheng and his son Zhou Xun dining at a window seat at the far end of the restaurant. It must be said that she has a sharp eye; the restaurant lobby is quite large, and if you don't look carefully, you won't even notice the father and son by the window.
Xiaohua said to Kang'an, "Baby, you and Daddy find a seat first. Mommy will go and say hello to an acquaintance and come over right away."
He Yan looked in the direction Xiao Hua had been looking, and said with a bitter feeling, "Then hurry back."
