Chapter 283 Godfather Will Never Fall in Love with Others
Lu Yiran looked at the car going away, shook his head helplessly, but a bitter smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He muttered self-deprecatingly: "This woman, there's really nothing you can do about her."
After saying that, he walked towards his car, smoothly opened the door and got in, started the car, and chased in the direction Mu Nanyan left.
Along the way, Lu Yiran stared at the front with a focused look, glancing at the navigation from time to time, estimating the distance between him and Mu Nanyan in his mind.
On the other side, Mu Nanyan was driving and saw from the rearview mirror that the familiar Maybach was gradually catching up. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and a sense of pride surged in her heart.
Soon, their cars stopped one after the other in front of the gate of Chenchen's kindergarten.
As soon as Mu Nanyan parked the car, she saw Lu Yiran walking quickly to her car and opening the door with a swift movement.
Mu Nanyan glanced at him, snorted, unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car.
At the entrance of the kindergarten, the children are lining up, preparing to go home from school under the guidance of their teacher.
Mu Nanyan stood at the school gate, searching for Chenchen. Soon, she saw Chenchen. A gentle smile immediately appeared on her face and she waved at him.
Chenchen also noticed Mu Nanyan and ran towards her with light steps.
When Chenchen got closer, he noticed Lu Yiran, who was standing behind Mu Nanyan.
Chenchen first looked at Mu Nanyan, then at Lu Yiran, his face full of confusion.
After all, no one sent him to school in the morning, but now, these two people came to pick him up together, which was really puzzling.
Chenchen looked up at Mu Nanyan and asked doubtfully:
"Sister Yan, why did you come to pick me up today? And you came with him?"
Mu Nanyan's heart tightened, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, and she explained with a stiff upper lip:
"No, I drove here by myself. I got off work early today, so I thought of picking you up."
Lu Yiran was standing behind. When he heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously and his face was full of black lines.
But he couldn't refute it, after all, Mu Nanyan did drive here by herself.
Chenchen looked at Lu Yiran again and asked, "What about you?"
Lu Yiran cleared his throat and said, "I promised you before that I would pick you up every day."
"What were you doing before? You think of me now."
Chenchen grumbled in dissatisfaction. He seriously suspected that if Sister Yan had not come to pick him up today, Lu Yiran would not be here.
Afterwards, Mu Nanyan took Chenchen towards the car.
Chenchen got in the car, and Mu Nanyan also sat in the driver's seat. The car started and drove towards Yuehu Yundi.
Lu Yiran looked at their departing backs, shook his head helplessly, got into his own car, and followed behind Mu Nanyan's car.
Returning to Yuehu Yundi, the three of them took the elevator upstairs. When they reached the door of Mu Nanyan's house, Lu Yiran suddenly asked:
"Let's go out for dinner tonight?"
Mu Nanyan didn't even think about it and said directly: "We'll cook at home tonight."
Mu Nanyan was about to open the door and go in when Lu Yiran said, "Could you give me a pair of chopsticks?"
Before Mu Nanyan could answer, Chenchen immediately rushed in and said, "It's inconvenient!"
After hearing this, Mu Nanyan almost couldn't help laughing out loud. She secretly gave Chenchen a thumbs up in her heart. This son was so awesome. She was just worried about how to refuse Lu Yiran.
Lu Yiran's face darkened when he heard this. This Chenchen was definitely the biggest stumbling block in his and Mu Nanyan's relationship!!!
He was just thinking that today's progress was good and was thinking of pressing on with his victory, when his son hit him hard on the head. He was indeed a good son!
But Lu Yiran said this in his heart with gritted teeth.
Seeing Lu Yiran’s grim expression, Chenchen said nothing and ran into the house.
Mu Nanyan ignored Lu Yiran and followed Chenchen into the house.
Lu Yiran looked at the closed door and felt depressed, but there was nothing he could do. He had taken note of this matter and put it directly on the head of his precious son. Let's see how he would deal with him later!
Thinking this, Lu Yiran went back to the next room.
——————
After Mu Nanyan followed Chenchen into the house, she hung her bag on the coat hook in the entrance.
She squatted down and gently straightened Chenchen's messy collar:
"Chenchen, did you have breakfast this morning?"
Chenchen nimbly took off his shoes, carrying his schoolbag and skipping into the room. A voice floated out from the room:
"Yes, I ate at my godfather's house. He made me a sandwich and heated up milk."
"Trouble your godfather again."
Mu Nanyan sighed softly, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes.
Whenever she didn't have time, Cui Hao would take care of Chenchen. She walked into the living room and suddenly remembered her conversation with Zhou Ruxuan during the day. She turned to Chenchen who was packing his schoolbag and said:
"Chenchen, go upstairs and ask your godfather to come down. Mom will cook some delicious dishes tonight and we'll treat him to a meal."
Chenchen poked his little head out of the room, blinked his big eyes and said:
"Godfather is on a business trip and won't be here these days."
"When will it happen?" Mu Nanyan asked doubtfully.
"That's what my godfather told me this morning."
"Okay." It seems that the dinner party can only wait until Cui Hao comes back.
Mu Nanyan did not hesitate too much and asked Chenchen with a smile:
"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."
"As long as it's made by Mommy, I'm fine with it."
Mu Nanyan was amused by her son's cute appearance and reached out to gently pinch his soft face:
"When did your little mouth become so sweet?"
Chenchen puffed out his chest and said seriously:
"I'm not being sweet, I'm telling the truth. Mommy's cooking is the best in the world."
"Okay, okay, how about making your favorite cola chicken wings tonight, stir-frying some vegetables, and cooking some corn and pork ribs soup?"
"good!"
Mu Nanyan changed into comfortable home clothes, put on a floral apron, and started busying herself in the kitchen.
The clashing of pots and pans and the sizzling of frying pans interweave into a warm kitchen symphony.
Chenchen was alone in the room, doing his homework attentively. His little head was staring at the homework book intently, and the pen in his hand kept writing and drawing on the paper.
After finishing his homework, Chenchen originally planned to play with his beloved Lego.
But at this moment, he seemed to suddenly remember something important, his eyes lit up, and then he ran towards the kitchen with brisk and eager steps.
Mu Nanyan, who was busy in the kitchen, heard hurried footsteps and looked towards the door in confusion. She saw Chenchen with a flushed face and a somewhat unstable breathing.
Mu Nanyan asked gently, "Chenchen, are you hungry? The food will be ready soon, please wait a moment."
Chenchen shook his head, looked at Mu Nanyan and said, "I'm not hungry yet. Mommy, take your time. I'm not in a hurry."
Mu Nanyan asked with a puzzled look: "Then why did you come in?"
"Isn't godmother's birthday next week? Should we go to the capital to celebrate her birthday?"
Mu Nanyan didn't expect that Chenchen actually remembered Tang Yutong's birthday. She smiled and said:
"Of course I'll go. I'll arrange my work and pick you up on Monday afternoon. We'll fly there that afternoon and stay in Beijing for one night."
"Very good!"
"Why are you so excited?" Mu Nanyan couldn't help laughing.
"I've agreed with my godfather that if we go, he'll pick us up at the airport."
Mu Nanyan's smile froze slightly. She turned off the fire, squatted down, looked at Chenchen, and said seriously:
"Baby, Mom knows you and Godfather are very close, but... Godfather has special feelings for Mom, but Mom can't respond to him. If we always accept his kindness, he will misunderstand us."
Chenchen tilted his head and blinked in confusion:
"But Godfather is willing to be troubled by us, and it wasn't me who asked him to come pick me up, he said so himself."
Mu Nanyan thought for a moment and explained patiently:
"Favors are like invisible debts that need to be repaid. Only by giving and taking care of each other can friendship last."
Mu Nanyan was afraid that Chenchen didn't understand, so she continued to explain:
"Take your friendship with Xiao Nuan for example. If you always happily bring Xiao Nuan all kinds of snacks and care about her, but Xiao Nuan never thinks of you or shares her delicious food with you, after a while, you will definitely feel uncomfortable, even a little lost and wronged, right?"
Chenchen thought for a moment and then said:
"No, if she wants, I can give her all my delicious food. As long as she is happy, it doesn't matter whether I eat it or not."
Mu Nanyan's mouth twitched when she heard this. Could her greedy son be so generous? How could she not notice this before? How could she explain this to him?
"That's just your own opinion. You can't expect others to think the same way. We need to consider things from their perspective. Even if they may not say it, they will definitely feel bad inside. Over time, friendships will become sour."
"All right."
Chenchen was like an eggplant hit by frost, wilting all of a sudden.
Mu Nanyan's heart softened when she saw her son's eyes dimming instantly.
She gently held Chenchen in her arms and smelled the faint milk scent on his hair:
"Mommy doesn't want you to distance yourself from your godfather, but try not to bother him too much in the future. He has his own life, and if he gets a girlfriend someday, you might disturb him."
"Godfather will never fall in love with anyone else." Chenchen muttered softly. In his heart, Cui Hao is the best father.
Mu Nanyan knew that it would take time for Chenchen to accept it, so she didn't say anything. She smiled and rubbed his head, saying softly:
"Then go out and play for a while. Dinner will be ready soon."
"All right."
Chenchen nodded and walked out of the kitchen slowly. He didn't even have the mood to play with his favorite Lego blocks.
He returned to the room and stared at the photo of him and Cui Hao on the bedside table for a long time. Finally, he picked up the children's watch and dialed the number.
Soon the call was connected, and Cui Hao's voice came from the phone: "Chenchen."
"Daddy." Chenchen's voice was a little frustrated.
Cui Hao immediately noticed something was wrong with Chenchen's tone and asked worriedly:
"What's wrong with you? Did someone make you unhappy?"
"No one has messed with me. Have you been to the capital?"
"Here I am. I just checked in."
"I'm glad you arrived safely."
Cui Hao walked over to the single sofa and sat down, then asked again, "Are you really okay?"
Chenchen fiddled with the watch strap and hesitated for a long time before asking in a low voice:
"Godfather, will you like other women in the future?"
Cui Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said with a smile, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"
"It just suddenly occurred to me. Please answer me quickly."
Cui Hao thought about it seriously, and then said:
"Who knows what will happen in the future? Don't you know who I like now?"
Chenchen was struck by lightning when he heard this. His expression darkened visibly. Could it be that his godfather would fall in love with other women in the future? It turned out that in his godfather's heart, Sister Yan was not irreplaceable...
Sister Yan was right. He couldn't interfere with other people's thoughts, and he didn't know what his godfather was thinking.
He always thought that his godfather, like himself, treated Sister Yan as a unique existence, but his godfather was unwilling to even lie to him. Could he really treat Sister Yan wholeheartedly?
If not, then what is the difference between him and those men who once pursued Sister Yan but failed to get what they wanted and then quickly turned around and threw themselves into the arms of other women?
All of Chenchen's filters for Cui Hao were shattered because of his words.
However, Cui Hao didn't know what Chenchen was thinking. Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, he tentatively shouted:
"Chenchen? Are you still there?"
Chenchen came back to his senses after hearing this and said to the other end of the phone:
"Sister Yan asked me to eat, I'll hang up first."
"Okay, then..."
Before Cui Hao could finish his words, the phone was hung up. Cui Hao heard the beeping sound from the phone and looked helpless, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, this was not the first time that Chenchen hung up his phone so anxiously.
After Chenchen hung up the phone, he felt confused. Did he help the wrong person? Why was the adult world so complicated? Couldn't you just keep liking someone? If he could keep liking Sister Yan, why couldn't others?
Chenchen sat on the edge of the bed, hugging his knees, staring at the photo frame on the bedside table without blinking.
In the photo, Cui Hao held him high on his shoulders, Mu Nanyan stood beside him and smiled gently, and the sunlight shone through the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows on them.
It was taken in the park last fall, and at that time he felt that the three of them were as perfect as a family in a fairy tale.
"Will Godfather really fall in love with someone else?"
Chenchen muttered softly, his throat suddenly feeling a little tight.
He remembered that when he was in Country F, Cui Hao took him to the amusement park. A beautiful aunt came over to chat with him, but he politely refused.
At that time, he was secretly happy for a long time, thinking that his godfather only had Sister Yan in his heart.
He recalled the scene when Cui Hao drove him to the hospital overnight when he had a fever.
He was so anxious that he didn't even change his slippers. He kept comforting him along the way, saying, "Don't be afraid, I have my godfather here."
But he remembered what Sister Yan had just said: "What if he has a girlfriend someday..."
If Godfather had his own child...
Chenchen's nose suddenly felt sore and tears welled up in his eyes.
