Xia Chao's expression changed, and he hurriedly went over and took Xiaoxiao out of Feng Guang's arms. "What are you doing here, little girl?"
"I came to find my mom!" Xiaoxiao hugged her piggy bank while Xia Chao held her. Her tear stains were still wet, but she was already able to giggle. "I brought my savings. I can treat my mom to cake now."
She said this while looking at the scenery.
Feng Guang stood up, her face expressionless, her calm gaze falling on her father.
Xia Chao suddenly felt like he wanted to run away, but after thinking about it, he realized that he was Feng Guang's father after all, and he couldn't appear too weak. He cleared his throat and said, "Feng Guang, Xiao Xiao is my friend's granddaughter. You've been lying in a hospital bed for the past few years, so I adopted Xiao Xiao as my goddaughter. I would occasionally take Xiao Xiao to the hospital to visit you, so she considers you her mother."
"Is that so?" Feng Guang's voice was calm. In this plain sentence, it was impossible to tell whether she believed Xia Chao's words or not.
Xia Chao had already cursed Lu Chen a thousand times in her heart. In fact, Wang Ci became more and more worried after leaving the cake shop. Less than an hour later, she called Xia Chao. Xia Chao rushed over after receiving the call, but he didn't expect to see Xiao Xiao there.
He should have realized it long ago. Lu Chen was never the kind of person who would let go and let others be happy. Wang Ci's company computer was attacked by a virus, and Xiao Xiao just happened to be there. All of this showed that Lu Chen was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Xiaoxiao glanced at Xia Chao, whose forehead was covered in cold sweat, then looked at Feng Guang. Holding her piggy bank in one arm, she stretched out the other towards Feng Guang, "Mommy, hug me~"
Feng Guang instinctively reached out and hugged Xiao Xiao back into her arms. When she came to her senses, she realized that she had done this without thinking.
"Xiaoxiao, shall I take you home?"
Feng Guang's sudden question put Xia Chao on high alert. He said with some hesitation, "Feng Guang, Xiao Xiao clearly ran away. It wouldn't be good for us to just take her home like this. Let me send her back."
“Dad, didn’t you say so yourself?” Feng Guang smiled. “Xiaoxiao is your adopted granddaughter, and she’s your good friend’s granddaughter. So what’s wrong with me taking her back to the Xia family for a visit?”
"The scenery..."
"Okay, I'm tired, I want to go home and rest." Feng Guang picked up the small backpack that Xiao Xiao had placed on the stool, and walked out of the cake shop without looking back.
Xia Chao gritted his teeth for a while, but still resigned himself to following along. He still had to drive Feng Guang home, and he was worried that if Feng Guang got into a taxi, the taxi driver would be that guy Lu Chen!
In the other coffee shop, Lu Heng watched Xia Chao's car drive away, sighed, and looked at the man sitting opposite her.
“Brother, you promised Uncle Xia and the others that you would never have anything to do with Fengguang again.”
"Fengguang and I are husband and wife, so of course there will be no other entanglements." The man elegantly put down his coffee cup, and the sunlight streaming in from the French windows gently shone on his perfect profile, softening the moment.
Lu Heng knew that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe Lu Chen as a hypocrite, but she still couldn't help but sigh. If her brother were willing to rein in all his claws and sharpness, he would indeed be a very deceptive man, a perfect man who could make any woman's heart flutter.
Lu Heng met Feng Guang through Lu Chen and they became friends. However, she never denied that her brother had psychological problems. She also thought about helping Feng Guang leave Lu Chen, and she paid the price for this idea.
Just before she got engaged to Yu Li, Yu Li almost became one of Lu Chen's specimens.
Lu Heng sometimes thinks that maybe she shouldn't have taken Feng Guang to Lu Chen's lab that day to save Yu Li. It was from that day on that Feng Guang began to truly understand a Lu Chen she didn't know before.
Lu Heng looked at his nominal older brother, who was bathed in sunlight, like a sacred and elegant deity. But Lu Heng also knew the saying that the brighter the place, the more unknown darkness it hides.
