Chapter 145: Whatever you want, you get
The little guy sitting opposite was obviously stunned for a moment.
"With papa?" Nian Nian murmured again.
As the irrational words came out of his mouth, Shi Guilin simply let it go. After all, it was summer vacation, and it wouldn't hurt to take Nian Nian to a different place for half a month. "Yeah, with Dad. It might just be a little hard and boring."
"Go ahead." He almost answered before Shi Guilin could finish his words.
His voice was no longer muffled, his expression no longer depressed, his low mood swept away, replaced by excited anticipation. Nian Nian was afraid that Shi Guilin would regret it, so she reiterated: "Nian Nian, go."
"Okay, I'll ask your brother or your aunt if they're free to join us. If they come with us, we'll have someone to look after you. If I'm too busy, I can let them take you out. Is that okay?"
"Yeah, yeah! Nian Nian agrees!"
As the two of them conversed, they meticulously arranged their travel plans. Jiang Duan's gaze flicked back and forth between them, his thoughts unsettled. His fists clenched and unclenched on his knees, repeatedly.
"Uncle Shi," his gaze lingered on Nian Nian for a brief moment, "Can I join you?"
As if he was worried about something, he added: "I won't cause you any trouble. I can take care of myself."
After hearing Jiang Duan's words, Nian Nian finally pulled herself away from the joy of not having to be separated from Shi Guilin for a long time, and instead plunged into another vortex of loss: "Oh, that's right, if I go out with Papa, Nian Nian won't be able to see Brother Duan for a long time. Nian Nian misses Brother Duan so much."
Shi Guilin was first shocked by Jiang Duan's self-deprecating words, and then amused by Nian Nian's greedy look.
He stood up, walked around the coffee table with a set of rosewood teapots, and half-knelt down to look Jiang Duan in the eye. "It's not a big deal, Duan. When doing something, you only need to consider whether you want to do it and whether you can do it. You don't need to worry about other things."
"Since you want to be with Nian Nian, why don't you go home today and ask Mom if she agrees, okay?" Shi Guilin said, "If she agrees, Nian Nian will definitely be very happy."
"Niannian is so happy!" Niannian nodded impatiently.
Jiang Duan hummed softly, and his slightly sore hands relaxed. He felt much more at ease after receiving Shi Guilin's assurance.
Perhaps because he was anxious to get Cheng Huili's approval, Jiang Duan asked to go home before lunch time.
Shi Guilin was thinking that he was about to go out for a filming, and that he was bringing Nian Nian with him this time. He would have to be careful with the tedious things like packing his luggage today, and he was afraid that he would not be able to take good care of Jiang Duan. It would be better to let Jiang Duan go home first. If Cheng Huili agreed, they could discuss and pack together.
"Okay. Don't worry, play with Nian Nian for a while. I'll call the driver."
Shi Guilin pointed at his cell phone and walked away.
In the corner of the sofa, Nian Nian hugged Jiang Duan tightly, "Brother Duan, you must talk to godmother nicely. If godmother doesn't agree, you should praise her more for being beautiful and fragrant. Besides, Nian Nian knows that brother can't go, and she's so sad at home. She can't eat or sleep, and keeps crying... Anyway, you have to cheer up."
Jiang Duan let him hold her, but his little tricks for acting cute were ignored. It wasn't that he looked down on his little tricks, but Jiang Duan felt that if he really said what Nian Nian said, Cheng Huili would immediately take him to the hospital for a checkup.
In that case, he decided not to learn from the valuable experience Nian Nian had given him. Outside the villa, a loud whistle suddenly startled a few birds, and Jiang Duan guessed that it must be the driver's arrival.
He didn't mention anything else, only saying to Nian Nian, "Don't worry, I'm going home first. I'll call you back when I have the results, so remember to answer."
"Okay." Nian Nian hugged him softly, "Nian Nian, don't blink today and stare at Papa's phone."
"Bye." Jiang Duan turned around and walked out of the villa and got into the driver's car.
Nian Nian clung to the gate of the villa, eagerly waving her little hand to say goodbye to Jiang Duan, until she could no longer see the back of the car, then she dragged her small steps back to the sofa.
After lunch, Nian Nian played with the dog until three or four in the afternoon, when Shi Linzhuo and Shi Nanqi, who had been out, gradually returned home. Like in the morning, Shi Guilin summoned them to the living room for a small meeting.
Qianqian explained her thoughts and plans, but before she could even offer a more mature proposal, Shi Linzhuo started yelling like a drunk, "Go, uncle! I'm definitely going. I only get to spend a few months with Nian Nian in a year, so losing fifteen days is a loss."
Shi Nanqi had finished college and graduated over a year ago, so she had lost a lot of her student spirit. However, her maturity was only reflected in the fact that she was not so eager to fight for such things. "I don't have any plans recently, so I can go."
"When we get to the city where you're filming, I can even take Nian Nian to visit some scenic spots." She said, lifting Nian Nian's chin. "Nian Nian, don't you agree?"
"Yes, yes."
"Hahahahahahaha, you are really my aunt's good baby."
"Oh, by the way, where are you filming this time?" Shi Nanqi said, "If it's too hot, I'll have to bring some sunscreen."
"Changyu City is famous as a summer resort. You can rest assured now, right?" Shi Guilin said, even feeling somewhat smug. "If it were somewhere hot, there's no way I'd let Nian Nian suffer with me."
"One day we have to go to the next city to shoot a scene, but it's short, so it'll be convenient for you guys to go there if you want."
"Yeah, yeah, yes, you are such a good father." Shi Nanqi clasped his fists to him and complimented him teasingly.
"Stop talking nonsense. Okay, let's adjourn the meeting. Pack your things in the next two days and catch a flight this Wednesday afternoon. I'll book the tickets." Shi Guilin waved his hand and dismissed the small family meeting. He also pulled away the little carrot Nian Nian who was sitting in the corner of the sofa and took her to the bedroom on the second floor.
cloakroom.
The black suitcase lay open on the floor, revealing several T-shirts. Shi Guilin half-embedded himself in one of the wardrobes, picking and choosing.
Nian Nian squatted beside her luggage, fiddling with the zipper of the suitcase out of boredom. Occasionally, she stood up and leaned on the counter to glance at her phone, which still had a black screen.
Shi Guilin, who was choosing a sun hat, had to pay more attention to him. "What are you doing? Looking around and touching things."
Nian Nian drew circles in the suitcase with her index finger and said honestly, "Wait for Brother Duan's call."
Just as Gui Lin was about to say something, the ringing of his cell phone came from the speaker.
He glanced at the screen, a look of surprise on his face: "Speak of the devil, he appears."
Shi Guilin took the phone and answered it: "Hello... Yes, there is such a thing... In Changyu City... Of course, no problem, Sister Cheng... Okay."
Less than three minutes later, Shi Guilin hung up the phone. He smiled brightly at Nian Nian's eyes, which were full of expectation:
"Your godmother agreed."
