Chapter 196 Sister Yan is the most important in my heart!
"Was it originally for me?"
Lu Yiran's voice was very soft, but it made Chenchen look up suddenly.
The little guy's eyes opened wide and his eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was burned by these words.
"How did you know I like Lego?"
Chenchen's little hands unconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes.
Lu Yiran's Adam's apple rolled. He couldn't say that he had been hiding behind a pillar in the mall like a pervert last month, watching Chenchen holding Cui Hao's hand to buy Lego in the Lego store. He made up an excuse and said:
"I happened to see you buying Lego before, and I thought you might like it, so I bought it."
Chenchen suddenly lowered his head, and a strange sour feeling rose in his nose. It turned out that this person... was really paying attention to him.
Seeing him like this, Lu Yiran pointed at the cake box and said with a smile:
"Are you willing to trade now? I haven't even tasted the cake your mommy made yet."
Chenchen bit his lower lip and hesitated for a long time before slowly handing the cake over.
"Here you go."
The moment Lu Yiran took the cake, before he could feel happy, he saw the little guy turn around and walk towards the door.
Lu Yiran was stunned for a moment and said, "You're leaving now? You don't want Lego anymore?"
Chenchen said in a muffled voice without even turning his head: "Well, I've been out for a long time. If I don't go back, Sister Yan will be worried."
His footsteps paused at the entrance, and he couldn't help but look back at the Lego on the coffee table.
The look in his eyes was like looking at the toy he wanted most in the window. It was right within reach, but he stubbornly refused to reach out.
"Why not?" Lu Yiran followed with the cake.
"Sister Yan said we can't just take other people's things, and this is too expensive, I can't take it."
Lu Yiran put the cake on the shoe cabinet, put his hands on Chenchen's shoulders, looked at him and said:
"I'm not someone else, I'm your dad. Just think of it as a gift from me to you."
Chenchen's eyelashes trembled even more violently. Of course he wanted it, and it made his heart itch.
That was a rare set that was impossible to buy! But the next second, he suddenly straightened his back.
"no!"
The little guy took a step back suddenly, his eyes red:
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just want to bribe me and ask me to speak well of you so that Sister Yan will forgive you, right?"
Lu Yiran opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Chenchen:
"I'm telling you, I won't be bribed by you. In my heart, Sister Yan is the most important! If you want to pursue her, then work hard on your own. I won't be a traitor!"
After saying that, he turned around, turned the door handle, and rushed out without looking back.
When the door slammed shut, Lu Yiran still kept his hand outstretched, his fingertips suspended in the air, and finally slowly dropped down.
————
The aroma of food wafted through the kitchen. Mu Nanyan was making soup, but she kept glancing towards the door.
Half an hour has passed. Why does it take so long to deliver a cake?
"drop--"
The sound of the fingerprint lock opening finally rang out. Mu Nanyan turned off the fire, wiped her hands and walked out, only to see Chenchen sitting on the sofa with his little head drooping.
"Chenchen, what took you so long? Has the cake been delivered?"
"Yes."
Chenchen's voice was muffled. Mu Nanyan was keenly aware of the abnormality and walked directly towards him. She squatted down, gently brushed away the broken hair on his forehead, looked at him and said:
"What's wrong? Did something unhappy happen in the past?"
Chenchen didn't want Mu Nanyan to see it, so he smiled and said to Mu Nanyan:
"No, Sister Yan, go and cook. I'm hungry."
Seeing that Chenchen didn't want to talk, Mu Nanyan didn't ask any more questions and stood up and walked towards the kitchen:
"Okay, I'll go cook for you. Oh, and give your godfather a call to see if he's back. You've been eating at his house for so long, so let him come over to eat with us today."
"Godfather isn't on late shift today, he should be back by now, I'll go find him."
Chenchen's eyes lit up and he jumped up as if he had found a savior.
"Then go ahead."
Before Mu Nanyan could finish her words, Chenchen had already disappeared. He took two steps at a time and rushed up the stairs, running directly to the 25th floor.
He unlocked the door skillfully with his fingerprint and walked straight in as soon as it opened. He saw the men's leather shoes placed next to the shoe cabinet, and the slippers were missing. He guessed that Cui Hao should have returned.
He walked inside and called out, "Daddy."
"Daddy?"
No one answered in the empty living room. He called a few more times but heard no response from Cui Haodu, so he walked straight to the study.
Chenchen walked towards the study room as if he knew the way. When he pushed the door open, he saw Cui Hao wearing noise-canceling headphones, his slender fingers flying across the mechanical keyboard, and dense codes scrolling across the screen like a waterfall.
The sunlight filtering through the blinds cast mottled shadows on his profile, revealing his slightly furrowed brow.
Chenchen tiptoed onto the sofa, hugged her knees and waited quietly for him to finish.
It was not until dusk seeped in through the window that Cui Hao suddenly took off his headphones. When he turned around, he was so frightened by the sudden appearance of Chenchen that he almost slipped off the gaming chair.
"Little ghost, when did you come? Why didn't you make a sound?"
"I've been here for a long time. Have you taken another order?"
"Yeah, the M government asked me to help them fix the bug in their system."
"All right."
Chenchen didn't ask any more questions, as he was already used to such situations.
Seeing that Chenchen was not in a good mood, he stretched out his long legs and pulled him over to him:
"Why does our young master look so sad today?"
Chenchen grabbed Cui Hao's shirt button and suddenly asked without thinking:
"Daddy, when will you catch up with Sister Yan?"
Cui Hao was stunned for a moment before saying, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"
"If you don't work harder, Sister Yan will be snatched away."
Cui Hao's expression froze, and he subconsciously clenched his fists:
"Your mom has a new suitor? Hasn't she been busy with work lately? How could she have time for a relationship?"
"Not a new suitor... He moved next door to us."
Cui Hao and Chenchen had talked about Lu Yiran before. Every time Lu Yiran was mentioned, Chenchen would use him instead. When Cui Hao heard this, he subconsciously thought of Lu Yiran.
"So the sudden move of the family next door to yours was because of Lu Yiran?"
"That should be it."
Cui Hao's knuckles turned white from rubbing his hands. He had originally asked Zhou Ruxuan to arrange this apartment because he was attracted by its strict security and proximity to Chenchen's school and his workplace.
Although she couldn't live on the same floor as Mu Nanyan, the distance between the upstairs and downstairs was enough for them to take care of each other. Unexpectedly, Lu Yiran actually moved directly next door.
In fact, Cui Hao didn't take Lu Yiran seriously. After all, his aggressive pursuit of people would only push Mu Nanyan further away. But he was like a toad, not biting but annoying...
He really didn't want Lu Yiran to disturb Mu Nanyan's life.
