Chapter 20: The Babies’ God-daddy
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In less than an hour, Li An’an had finished cooking the meal and baking the cake.
The family gathered around the small table.
Dressed in a princess frock, Li Baobao cupped her face with both hands. Her big, black eyes sparkled as she swallowed her drool.
She really wanted to dig in, but her mommy said that she could only eat when the whole family was together.
“Brother, it’s time to eat!”
She ran to the bedroom to look for Li Jùnjùn.
Li Jùnjùn closed the chat messages on the old computer.
“Okay.”
He pulled his sister away and glanced at the messages on the computer again. There was something wrong with it. It was responding so slowly, it seemed to have frozen completely. The messages were still there.
But they were in English.
“God-daddy didn’t ask about Baobao?”
Li Baobao had seen the messages. Her big, black eyes were filled with hurt, and she looked like she was about to cry.
Li Jùnjùn hurriedly consoled her.
“He did. He even sent you candy. Don’t cry, okay?”
“Okay, I won’t cry.”
“Baobao likes God-daddy.”
When Li An’an entered, she heard the two children chatting.
“Is it a message from God-daddy? Is he done with his work?”
Li An’an walked over to the computer and typed a message.
“What’s going on? Why haven’t you called for so long? All I said was I’d introduce a girlfriend to you, and you start avoiding me? You little coward.”
The other party replied very quickly.
“You know you gave me a scare. Don’t ever tell me such things again. I haven’t thought about marriage yet. I want to focus on my career.”
“Fine, I won’t say that anymore. You can be single for the rest of your life.”
“It’s okay. I have three children to raise, and you. That’s right, you’re a stray puppy I picked up.”
Li An’an burst out laughing.
“All right, enough joking around. Take good care of yourself overseas.”
“Yeah, you too. Don’t burn yourself out. If you need money, just ask me for it. After all, the three kiddos don’t call me God-daddy for nothing.”
“You know that I want to raise these three children alone. I’m still doing fine now. When I really can’t take it anymore, I’ll ask you for help, okay?”
“…!”
The other party sent an exclamation mark and seemed very aggrieved. Li An’an smiled.
She was very grateful to Fu Yiheng for taking care of her during her most difficult time all those years ago. However, he was just a normal office worker and it was hard enough on him. She did not want to spend his money or owe him too much! It would be a burden.
She was already indebted to him for helping her look after the kids for so long.
Overseas
Sitting by the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the skyscraper, Fu Yiheng made a lonely figure. His brows were tightly furrowed. He really wanted to tell her the truth, but he never had the chance.
It was giving him a headache. She was always worried that he didn’t have enough money, but that wasn’t the case. He had the ability to support her and the three children. None of that was a problem at all. The issue was that she still refused to open her heart to him!
“Mommy, when is God-daddy coming back?”
Li Jùnjùn asked.
God-daddy was very gentle and treated them very well, but he was overseas, and always very busy.
“I don’t know, but we can’t pester him. He finally got the opportunity to work overseas, so we can’t be a burden to him. We have to cheer him on.”
“That’s right. We can’t be a burden. It doesn’t matter if God-daddy comes back after he becomes a white-bearded grandpa.”
Li Baobao said cutely. This was what she understood. Mommy said that she couldn’t keep asking God-daddy to come back over the phone, so she had to wait for a long time. The longest time she could imagine was when he had become a white-bearded grandpa.
Li An’an, Junjun, and Jùnjùn were amused, especially Jùnjùn, who laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.
Their little sister was truly a treasure.
Li An’an was also laughing uncontrollably.
“All right, next time your God-daddy calls, can you tell that to him yourself?”
“Okay.”
Li Baobao nodded. God-daddy liked her very much. He would surely be very happy to hear that she understood.
“All right darlings, the drumsticks are ready.”
Li An’an gave each of them a chicken drumstick in their small bowl. After eating the chicken, they would eat the cake!
