When Gu Yan saw the news, his first reaction was to grit his teeth. Butler Duanmu said it twice and told Mr. Huo, but Mr. Huo was busy and Mr. Huo didn't have time, how could he pretend like this? Does he know how pitiful this child was just now
But after the initial burst of resentment, she suddenly realized something.
It's not like he's pretending, or the kind of guy who doesn't care about his son at all.
He really didn't know
Reminiscent of the palace fight drama that she thought of before, her mind was full of imagination, and all the intrigues in "The Legend of Xuanji" made her fall on Huo Jinchen at once.
Was it the butler Duanmu's deliberate concealment, or was there someone around Huo Chenchen who prevented the news from being conveyed? where is the problem
Gu Yuan calmed down his emotions and replied: "Yes, he is sick. His stomach has been uncomfortable since the day. The family doctor prescribed it and prescribed the medicine, but he tossed again in the middle of the night. In the middle of the night, he hugged his stomach and rolled all over the bed. , crying pitifully."
Thinking about it, she still didn't say "Butler Duanmu seems to be very negligent about this condition". After all, it's just her senses, what if it isn't? Or in case Huo Chenchen doesn't believe it, let Huo Chenchen, the father himself, investigate everything.
Huo Jinchen: "I see, Miss Gu, thank you."
After that, he never heard back.
Looking at the phone, Gu Yan once wondered if there was a problem with the network or the phone was broken. She always thought that this classmate Huo Jinchen would at least ask how he was sick, and that the doctor was sick, or say something.
In short, she felt that Huo Jinchen's last sentence was not the correct way to end the conversation, but it seemed that the conversation ended like this.
Gu Yan was a little suffocated, feeling that he hadn't responded to what he had said to him in vain? I know thank you and it's over
What kind of father is this
Thinking of this, Gu Yan gritted his teeth, and really wanted to get into WeChat and give Huo Jinchen two slaps to wake him up. Then he looked at Huo Lanting on the bed, and saw him curled up with a small body, frowning, and holding his big head with his small hands. It looks pitiful.
Unexplainable emotions rushed over my face, and suddenly I wanted to cry.
Although he might be a little bearish, can he be blamed? He is so pitiful, no one cares about him, and there is only one butler who doesn't seem to be so loyal and a group of bodyguards who never seem to have any expression.
In such an environment, he is worthy of the society without becoming a big villain.
She lay back and hugged his small body.
…
It was ten o'clock the next morning when Huo Jinchen walked up the stairs.
He was still wearing the suit jacket he wore for company meetings, slightly wrinkled after hours of flying. According to the usual practice, he must change his clothes, but now, even though the special life assistant has prepared a new suit jacket for him, he is not in the mood to change.
He has been thinking about what Yuan Yuan loves to eat grass and said to him on WeChat.
There is also a report from Butler Duanmu.
In order to get close to the girl named Gu Yan, Lan Ting resorted to such means, which was beyond his expectation.
Because I dare not admit that I have already eaten, I have to accompany the other party to have a new meal. As a result, I overeat and eat so much that my stomach is disturbed
Huo Jinchen remembered why Lan Ting went to that island after all the trouble when he was on the island at first. Although he was naughty, he was not usually so naughty, so did he just want to see that girl from the beginning
Huo Chenchen didn't remember that his son had ever shown such strong interest and dependence on anyone, even his grandmother who loved him the most, he wouldn't be like this.
When Huo Jinchen stepped up the stairs, Butler Duanmu whispered back beside him: "Someone has been sent to investigate."
Huo Jinchen nodded and said nothing.
The son is so unusually emotionally dependent on a strange girl, he always needs to know the origin of this girl, even if he knows that she should have something to do with the Nie family who dominates the world and the Ji family of the AK Group, he still needs to investigate Yes, after all, the son is too important, and the son's dependence on this Gu Yan is too abnormal.
When he walked up to the third floor, Butler Duanmu had already gone down quietly. Huo Jinchen walked to the small hall on the third floor and turned left to the room where his son was.
This is a room facing south. Outside the huge bedroom is a study and a semi-open balcony. When he walked to the door, he could see the girl named Gu Yan playing with her son on the balcony.
Two people, one big and one small, lay side by side on the beige beanbag sofa, the two big two small and four feet raised together.
Looking forward, the two heads are put together, the chin is supported, and a book is being read there, which seems to be an 8-format hardcover literacy picture book.
Huo Chenchen didn't speak or make any sound. He stood there silently, wanting to wait for them to finish reading the book before he went over.
"Officer Murphy is busy directing road traffic. At this time, the foolish old man rushed out of the supermarket with a bunch of bananas in his hand. He was about to run away!" The girl read the storybook in a gentle and soft voice, her voice sweet. Soft, full of emotion: "Murphy, look, he stole your motorcycle!"
Huo Jinchen knew that for Lan Ting, who had a superior IQ, that kind of book would be dismissive at all. How could he read such low-level reading materials.
But now, the little guy rested his chin and listened intently.
The sunshine in the shallow winter season is warm and quiet. It shines on the balcony through the elegant and chic shutters, like broken gold falling to the ground. There is an inexplicable fragrance in the air, which is quiet and soft. The gentle voice of the young girl is like a trickle of water. into the ear.
"Murphy was furious, and the little boy and the earthworm just passed by. The little boy said to Murphy, get on my bicycle quickly, and we will chase him."
When Huo Jinchen received the news from Gu Yuan, he was having an important group meeting. He left the company in a hurry without waiting for the meeting to end, and then the helicopter came all the way.
On the plane, his eyes scanned the messages from Gu Yan countless times, and he would imagine that the girl who sent the messages must be angry, and would accuse him righteously.
He even used his limited understanding of women and his barren imagination to piece together the picture of her anger.
But I never imagined that what I saw would be such a picture.
The impetuousness that came in a hurry gradually dissipated in this quiet and sweet voice. Huo Jinchen stood quietly outside the door, listening to her storytelling silently.
Her voice is beautiful, like a soft dream.
When Sergeant Murphy finally caught the foolish old black, the story was finally over, and the sound of flipping a book came from the balcony: "Okay, let's start the next story. Read this story to me."
The little boy coquettishly: "No, no, I can't read, tell me!"
The young girl smiled: "Come on, I don't believe it, you tell me, or I won't tell you."
The boy relented: "Okay, then the two of us will each read one?"
The two quickly reached an agreement, and each read a story.
Huo Jinchen didn't say a word, he backed away silently, turned and left, went downstairs, found a study room, ordered his assistant to fetch his notebook and related materials, and continued the meeting a few hours ago.
…
When Gu Yan and Huo Lanting knew Huo Jinchen's arrival, it was already lunch time two hours later.
When Huo Lanting saw his father sitting in the dining room, he was stunned. The little expression on his face was so wonderful, it was so wonderful that it looked like a child randomly painted with a watercolor pen.
Huo Jinchen glanced at his son calmly, then got up and greeted Gu Yan: "Ms. Gu, hello."
Gu Yan didn't expect it either, and hurriedly greeted: "Mr. Huo, hello."
She didn't know that this Mr. Huo would come suddenly. Her impression of him was still in the wechat conversation that completely lacked the conclusion. As a result, after sleeping, he was waiting for her and Huo Lanting to have dinner in the restaurant. Let's see He looked perfect, with an elegant posture and a calm expression, as if he should have been here in the first place.
Gu Yan felt that her IQ needed to be recharged, and she couldn't figure out what happened.
Huo Lanting looked at Butler Duanmu with strong questioning eyes: How could this be, how could this be? ! Why, why did my dad suddenly appear here
Butler Duanmu looked at his nose, nose, and heart, not daring to respond to his young master's gaze.
He is so innocent.
He was planning to report the young master's situation to the husband, but before he could report, the husband had already called and started asking.
What can he do? Can he not report it
So it doesn't matter to him, it really doesn't matter.
Amidst Gu Yan's ignorance and Huo Lanting's apprehension, lunch began.
The lunch was very rich. If it was normal, Gu Yan must have a good appetite, so she could enjoy the food to her heart's content, but now, she obviously doesn't have this appetite, and Huo Lanting next to her is not allowed to eat more because of her gastrointestinal disorder.
"Butler Duanmu will prepare some porridge for you. After two hours, you will have another half bowl of porridge." The elegant and noble man has the most perfect table manners that Gu Yan has ever seen. He wiped it gently with a white tablecloth With slender and beautiful fingers, he said this to his son.
"Oh... I know." Huo Lanting said in a low voice without even daring to lift his head.
"Miss Gu, I am very grateful for your care of my son. I hope my presence will not affect your appetite. Please be more casual and don't be restrained." Huo Jinchen said, looking at Gu Yuan across the table.
"Mr. Huo, yes, thank you for your hospitality." Gu Yan always felt that the father Huo opposite was too polite and thoughtful, so that no one could get close to him.
But if you think about it, he is the richest man in the world. For such a rich person, he is not a human being but a god. He should indeed continue to sit on his godly seat and not come down.
After finally suffering through this lunch, Gu Yan got up and was about to leave.
Originally, she was just helping to rescue the emergency, but now that Huo Lanting's father is here, of course she doesn't need to stay here.
As soon as Huo Lanting heard that she was leaving, her mouth was flattened, and she was about to cry, so pitiful.
Gu Yan had no choice but to comfort him: "We can video, or I will come to see you tomorrow, and we can go out to play together when you recover."
Huo Lanting drooped his head and said nothing, obviously these promises of Gu Yan did not make him happy.
Huo Jinchen: "Lanting, you go upstairs first, I have something to talk to your Auntie Gu."
Hearing this, Huo Lanting hesitated for a while, but looking at his father, he didn't say anything more, but just glanced at Gu Yan reluctantly, and muttered in a low voice: "Aunt Gu, can you come to see me tomorrow, okay?"
Gu Yan nodded sharply: "Okay!"
Huo Lanting went upstairs, and Huo Jinchen's eyes fell on Gu Yan: "Miss Gu, thank you for taking care of my son."
Gu Yan looked at Huo Lanting's way of looking back three times at that step, but she was still a little sad in her heart. She felt that this child was not easy.
In fact, she didn't care much about this child, but he was already very attached to her appearance, which showed that he usually received too little care.
Thinking of this, she looked at Huo Jinchen with a little helplessness.
"Mr. Huo, you're welcome. I believe that any sympathetic person who sees a child living in a foreign land without even a caring relative around him will feel unbearable and will come to take care of him."
"This is Miss Gu's kindness."
Huo Chenchen knew that she must have misunderstood him, but this was his son's little thought, and he didn't want to expose it.
"Mr. Huo, it is kind to meet me today, maybe it is kind to meet another person tomorrow, but it may not be kind to meet the next one the day after tomorrow." Gu Yan finally couldn't help but say a few words for Huo Lanting: "Mr. Come here right away during your busy schedule. I think you care about Lan Ting. Since this is the case, shouldn't you take more time to accompany him and care about him? I have seen him alone several times. There is no one to take care of him, no matter how smart he is, he is only a four-year-old child."
"Yes, Miss Gu is right, it's because I didn't do well enough." Huo Jinchen lowered his eyes and said so.
He admitted his mistake like this, which made Gu Yan a little embarrassed, and there was nothing to say at the moment, she nodded: "Mr. Huo, I may be shallow, but the child is really cute, I can't help being troublesome, it's okay If so, I'll go first."
…
After sending Gu Yan away, Butler Duanmu walked up to Huo Jinchen in trepidation: "Sir, why don't you explain?"
Apparently, this Ms. Gu misunderstood her husband, thinking that she had reported it to her husband, and the husband didn't care about the young master's condition at all, so she reprimanded her husband.
But Mr. is so wronged and innocent!
The husband has always devoted a lot of time to the young master, and this time the young master insisted on coming to China to play, and the husband really couldn't get away, so he arranged it like this.
Huo Jinchen stared at the shutters next to the living room, which were of the same style and color as the shutters on the balcony outside Huo Lanting's bedroom. At this time, the sunlight was more intense, and it scattered loosely on the carpet next to the window, looking very warm.
He remembered the picture he had seen before, she was lying there with her feet up, her voice telling stories was gentle and moving.
After a long time, he finally said calmly: "Although she misunderstood, in fact, what she said made sense, and I did not do well."
When Huo Lanting was fascinated by such a simple children's story, Huo Chenchen thought that his role as a father must be lacking, and he didn't know his son well enough.
He must have overlooked something.
