Getting up early in the morning, as soon as Tiantian opened his eyes and failed to see his parents, he ran out of the room to look for them.
Mom was making breakfast and Daddy was reading the newspaper.
He seemed to be relieved, walking lazily to daddy's side and getting into daddy's arms to act like a spoiled child.
He asked his dad to accompany him to brush his teeth.
Huo Yunchen put down the newspaper and went with him.
The father and the son were so naïve, since they could use the toothbrushes as weapons in the washroom.
"I am Altman."
"I am a monster."
"Hit, hit, hit."
Suddenly, Bai Qingqing had an illusion that they were biological father and son and she was a stepmother.
It was a rare weekend. They were going to see Huo’s grandma and grandpa.
But Huo Yunchen answered a phone call, and there was something urgent that needed dealing with. So Liu Kai came to pick him up and went to the company.
The mother and the son were also rarely relaxed, so she took Tiantian to the funfair that he most wanted to visit.
But Tiantian was afraid of height and didn't dare to play many things. At last, he only took a merry-go-round.
On the way home, he grumbled, "If daddy were here, I would be fine. I would be not afraid of anything."
Bai Qingqing felt that she was hurt a lot. She gave birth to him and took care of him for four years, which was no better than a stranger who just knew him for less than half a month.
"Bai Tiantian, your words make me sad. Don’t you love your mom anymore?"
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
"Love, but I also love daddy. I want to be with daddy forever."
Bai Tiantian was drinking a drink while speaking. Every time he mentioned daddy, his eyes lit up.
How could it be together forever?
They were just trading with each other.
"Mummy, the handsome uncle is really a super good daddy, and he is also a super good husband. Would you promise me never to be separated from him?
The little boy looked up and begged earnestly, as if he felt there was something wrong between them. He had been seeking her affirmation and commitment.
Looking at his big crystal eyes, how could she bear to say no?
"Okay, mummy promise you that as long as your daddy doesn't say goodbye, mummy and daddy will stay together forever."
"Okay, let's pinkie promise."
"Pinkie again?"
"Well, once it’s pinkied, you can’t break it anymore."
Bai Qingqing led Tiantian out of the amusement park, wandering all the way without realizing that a car not far from them had been following them.
When Tiantian saw the ice cream shop by the side of the road, he wanted to eat so they went in.
After ordering the ice cream, Tiantian ate it very devotedly. So she went to the toilet.
But after going out of the toilet, she saw Bai Zhengshan was sitting opposite Tiantian.
He was like a wolf grandfather, smiling at Tiantian insidiously.
But Tiantian naively took the old man as a friend and was happy to share his delicious food with him.
Bai Qingqing clenched her fist, trying hard to calm down and she walked toward them slowly.
She hasn’t seen him for five years. He seemed to be more disgusting than he was five years ago.
"Tiantian, let's go home."
"Mum, this grandpa said that I look like his grandson, and I invited him to eat ice cream."
Bai Zhengshan smiled kindly and deliberately sat beside Tiantian.
Behind him were two trained bodyguards.
"Qingqing, you don’t go to visit me when you come back. This child is so cute, you don’t bring him to me, either."
As he said, he touched Tiantian's face and showed a happy feeling.
"Grandpa, do you know my mummy? Are you mommy's father? If so, you are really my grandfather."
"Yes, really. Tiantain, grandpa misses you so much. Would you like to go home with me?"
Tiantian nodded his head in excitement. First, he had Daddy; and then he had grandfather. Many people would love him in the future.
"No, Tiantian, come to mom."
Tiantian felt his mother's anger and was about to jump off the seat to run to his mother, but he was at once held by Bai Zhengshan. He spoke kindly like a kind old man:
"Qingqing, don't scare the child. Go home with dad. I know you're wronged by others. Don't you always want to know who killed Chu Qiao? Take your child home and have a meal with me, just a meal, and then I will tell you everything. You can rest assured that I won’t do anything to you. "
Bai Zhengshan's words were so sincere, like a poor old father begging for his daughter’s forgiveness. He was almost crying.
If it were five years ago, Bai Qingqing might be cheated by him like this. But now she would never believe any of his words.
A meal, she was afraid it was a Hongmen feast (a feast that had a special purpose when inviting someone to dinner).
