Chapter 145
≖≖≖≖✿❁✿ ≖≖≖≖
The dry and clear sunlight radiated on
his face and the proud facial lines also show a little softness. He looked
especially handsome.
Xiao Cheng held his face and boasted,
"Daddy, you are so handsome."
“Dad, do you think mommy is
pretty?"
"Very pretty."
Chi Cheng laughed, "So Cheng Cheng
is also very good-looking."
"Dad, do you know what day it
is?"
"Cheng Cheng's birthday."
Talking about birthdays, Lu Jingyan's
heart tightened slightly and he looked at Chi Ying subconsciously. Four years
ago today, he was not there.
At this moment, Chi Ying was sitting on
one side holding Chi Cheng in her arms. Her smile was calm and her eyes were
amused. There was a bit of comfort and relief between her brows. Feeling Lu
Jingyan's gaze, she also looked back at him with gratitude for him in her eyes.
Chi Cheng grinned, "Daddy knows it
too."
Lu Jingyan chuckled, “Hmm.”
○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○
The propellers turned sharply and the
helicopter rose from the ground and took off.
Chi Cheng said enviously, "Daddy
can drive airplanes, Cheng Cheng wants to fly too."
Lu Jingyan said in a deep voice,
"When you grow up, I will teach you."
Chi Cheng clapped his hands, "Okay
very good.”
Chi Ying pulled back Chi Cheng's small
body, "Cheng Cheng, don't bother Daddy."
Chi Cheng sat back obediently, moving
his neck and looking down as if looking for something.
"Mom, where are the cherry
blossoms, will we pass by them?"
"You can only see it at
night."
"Oh..."
The altitude of the flight was not
high, nor was it fast. Soon after, they landed on a small island. It is a
famous tourist attraction, not too far from the city.
It should’ve been crowded during the
National Festival but at the moment, the island appeared empty with only a line
of uniformed middle-aged men lined up to receive them.
Chi Ying can't help but imagine how a
president slowly descends from a helicopter... she didn't expect that she would
be able to do the same one day.
○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○
After landing, Chi Cheng couldn't wait
to go outside, but the helicopter's steps were a bit high for him. He looked at
Lu Jingyan for a while, then finally he ran into his mother's embrace.
The door opened and a group of people
bowed respectfully in line. Most of the people present knew that a
distinguished guest was coming today and there was a child. But they were
shocked when a woman peeked out of the cabin with a four-year-old child in her
arms.
President Lu strictly said that they
are not allowed to speak out about it. No one wanted to lose their jobs, so
they just changed their faces slightly and exchanged glances.
On the surface, they were calm but
their hearts had already set off a storm. Who doesn't know about President Lu
only focuses on his career and is notorious for not dating anyone.
But now... Why does that kid look like
the young master?
Chi Cheng felt that they were being
polite and interrupted their thoughts when he blurted, “Hello, uncles."
The child's voice is clear and tender.
Everyone suddenly didn’t know what kind of expression to show, but they were
amused in their hearts.
Lu Jingyan didn't explain much, just
turned back some of the gazes that fell on Chi Ying with cold and stern eyes.
The golden sand was cleaned up neatly
and there were shells of various shapes stuck in the sand.
Chi Cheng stomped his feet excitedly
still feeling incredible.
There was also a small sandpit on the
kindergarten playground, but he had never seen so much sand.
His little head turned around. Looking
left to right is an endless sandy beach. Looking ahead is the endless sea. He
seldom came into contact with such vivid scenery in nature.
Chi Cheng couldn't help but let out a
"wow" in his heart and then jumped forward.
Before taking two steps, he fell back
again. Chi Cheng grinned holding his mother with his left hand and his father
with his right.
His mom's hands are warm and soft.
Meanwhile, his dad's hands were cold and dry.
Chi Cheng raised his face and asked Lu
Jingyan, "Dad, are you cold?"
The salty sea breeze on his pale and
tender cheeks. Chi Cheng sneezed first with an "Ah" sound.
Lu Jingyan frowned subconsciously. He
didn't answer, but took out his phone and made a call. Soon after, a sand truck
drove slowly and stopped in front of them. An elder got out of the car, bent
over, and said respectfully, "Little Master."
Immediately, he took out several
children's clothes from the bag.
Chi Cheng's big eyes were filled with
some doubts. What is a little master? Why does he think his father is so
awesome?
However, he didn’t need these
clothes... Chi Cheng was still confused when a thick coat had been placed on
his body.
He looked up and saw his dad’s serious
face, but his movements were gentle. Instantly, a dense layer of sweat appeared
on Chi Cheng's back.
Chi Cheng told the truth, "Dad,
I'm not cold. It's just that some dust ran into Cheng Cheng's nose."
Because of the unpleasant heat, Chi
Cheng couldn't help twisting his body and looked pitifully at the tall man in
front of him.
Lu Jingyan probed the temperature on
Chi Cheng's body with his big palm, then took off his jacket and said solemnly,
"Then don’t wear it anymore."
Chi
Cheng's birthday surprises were far more than just a dad popping out of
nowhere, a helicopter full of stickers, an unexpected flight, and a private
beach trip... but soon after, a coastal amusement park appeared in Chi Cheng's
line of sight with luxurious cartoon facilities all over the place.
The
amusement park is particularly designed for children. The project was not that
exciting but it became famous during its construction. Especially since it is
built half on the beach and half in the sea. There is not only conventional
amusement equipment but also water sports.
On
weekdays, there are often crowds of people walking shoulder to shoulder and
filled with sound children's laughter. Even on weekends, you need to queue for
a whole day and it is limited only to two attractions. Not to mention, the
National Day holiday is when people flock to the island.
But
at this moment, the amusement park is empty and only a small number of staff
performed their duties in their posts.
It
would never cross Chi Cheng’s that his tycoon father was behind this. His big
round eyes felt that something was wrong.
There
are no tourists or other children which made it deserted. But Chi Cheng didn't
care because his parents were with him.
Chi
Ying, however, caught Chi Cheng's moment of daze and was also slightly
absent-minded. She chose the path of acting and it was expected that Chi Cheng
wouldn’t have a childhood like other children.
Unconsciously,
Chi Ying glanced at the man beside her with her peripheral vision. He is strong
enough, both financially and familial background. Whether she enters the circle
or not does not have much influence on her fate as it did at the beginning of
the book.
But
she still has some fixations. On the one hand, she couldn't give up her career
just because of her love life. On the other hand, Lu Jingyan was so powerful
that she couldn't help but want to rely on him. However, she still couldn’t
forget the lesson she got from her past life about distress and dying in
comfort.
With
a hint of guilt, Chi Ying held Chi Cheng's hand tightly.
Chi
Cheng turned to the left and asked Chi Ying, "Mom, will you play with me?”
"Okay."
Chi
Cheng immediately gave his mother a bright smile, revealing two rows of white
and straight teeth.
Chi
Cheng turned to the right and asked Lu Jingyan, "Dad, are you
coming?"
Chi
Ying also looked at him in unison. She looked at the tall man wearing a
straightly ironed shirt with his noble temperament. No matter how you look at
it, it’s out of place with the cartoon-themed surrounding.
Chi
Ying said, "Dad may not be suitable for playing these, so mommy will
accompany you."
Chi
Cheng nodded as if he understood. Lu Jingyan didn't speak, acknowledging
what Chi Ying said.
Afterward,
she took Chi Cheng to the locker room to change into a swimsuit.
Chi
Cheng let go of his father's hand but still looked back three times with some
longing.
Lu
Jingyan's adam's apple bobbed and he whispered, "Go on."
Chi
Cheng nodded and then he quickened his pace and concentrated on walking. The
island was like spring all year round because it is very close to the equator.
Even if you swim in the sea, you will not feel cold. For tourism, any time of
the year is a peak season.
Chi
Cheng didn't lie when he said he sneezed because the sea breeze blew sand into
his nose. At this moment, the sun is shining and the temperature is high.
