Chapter 642 - Went to the Dinner

Miaomiao held the water glass and drank a few sips of water.

Shao Tianze patted her back lightly.

After his daughter’s mood calmed down, Shao Tianze asked gently, “Miaomiao, are you hungry?”

“Brother. I want my brother...” Even if this little child cried and hiccupped, she still regarded her brother as her dearest.

Shao Tianze felt messy but still patiently coaxed her, “Your brother has gone to study in Harbor City. He will not come back in a short time. You will be separated from him for a while.”

“Boo-hoo...”

As soon as Shao Tianze finished speaking, Miaomiao was about to cry again.

Shao Tianze loved his daughter. He couldn’t let his daughter keep crying and hyperventilating.

Gently wiping the teardrops from the corners of Miaomiao’s eyes, Shao Tianze said, “Do you have to see your brother, Miaomiao?”

With her big eyes full of tears, Miaomiao looked at Shao Tianze and nodded firmly.

Shao Tianze pursed his lips, “If you stay with your brother, you can’t live with me.”

Miaomiao frowned with anxiety and clenched her clothes tightly, feeling hard to decide right away.

After thinking for a while, Miaomiao asked Shao Tianze, “Can’t we live together?”

Miaomiao’s words silenced Shao Tianze for some time. Then, he smiled, “If we could, I wouldn’t send your brother away.”

“Why?”

Miaomiao’s cheeks were plump. Her eyes were clear and innocent.

Seeing such a look in his daughter’s eyes, Shao Tianze didn’t know what to say.

How could he tell his daughter that he sent his son away because his son might know that his father killed his mother?

Miaomiao frowned, looking at Shao Tianze. Her eyes were as clean as a lake without impurities.

Shao Tianze gently smiled and deceived his daughter, “Because your brother has grown up and has to study elsewhere to protect you.”

“Why can’t I go with my brother? I also want to grow up.”

Miaomiao clenched her small fists tightly with a stubborn expression on her face.

Seeing Miaomiao’s expression, Shao Tianze thought of Gu Changge.

When Gu Changge was young, she had many enemies. There was always a resolute and stubborn look on her face.

Regrettably, when Shao Tianze met Gu Changge, she had been able to treat people who obstructed her with detachment.

She could easily get rid of all the stumbling blocks.

Shao Tianze raised his hand to stroke Miaomiao’s hair, “You will grow up, but the road you have to go is different from that of your brother. Do you understand it, Miaomiao?”

At such a young age, Gu Miaomiao naturally didn’t know what Shao Tianze’s words meant. However, she knew very well that her father would not let her brother live with her.

And this made her desperately unhappy.

She frowned and begged, “Father, could you bring my brother back to accompany me?”

“Your brother has his own things to do and can’t stay with you all the time. Would you wait in Yuncheng for your brother’s return, Miaomiao?”

Shao Tianze patiently coaxed his daughter.

However, Gu Miaomiao knitted her brows, refusing to let this matter go.

Hearing that Shao Tianze refused to take her brother back, Miaomiao frowned and wanted to leave Shao Tianze’s arms.

Feeling that his daughter was about to jump off his lap, Shao Tianze stretched out his hand, pulled her back, and held her on his knees, “Miaomiao, where are you going?”

Miaomiao tightened her brows, “You refused to take my brother back. I will look for him by myself.”

“You want to look for your brother, so you will abandon me, won’t you?”

Shao Tianze asked Miaomiao.

Miaomiao pursed her lips and said nothing. However, as Shao Tianze was holding her, she did not struggle to leave Shao Tianze’s embrace.

After seeing his daughter calm down, Shao Tianze said, “Good girl. If you want to see your brother, I can take you to see him when he is on vacation.”

“But I want to stay with him all the time.”

“If so, you will interrupt your brother’s study.”

“I want to call my brother.”

Since Shao Tianze had been refusing to take her brother back, Miaomiao could only change the subject, hoping to use another method to get in touch with her brother.

Hearing his daughter’s words, Shao Tianze nodded and said, “After the dinner, I will let you talk to your brother on the phone, OK?”

“I want to call now!”

Miaomiao stared at Shao Tianze with a stubborn face.

Looking at Miaomiao, Shao Tianze felt troublesome, “If you call your brother now, he will hear your stomach rumble and hang up. Do you think so?”

Miaomiao tightened her brows and thought about it seriously.

“Would you want to eat first?” Shao Tianze asked his daughter again after seeing her consider seriously.

Miaomiao frowned. She wanted to talk to her brother on the phone, but she thought what her father said made sense. So, she nodded, “I will eat first.”

Hearing that Miaomiao was willing to eat, Shao Tianze immediately turned his head and looked at Shao Xue.

Shao Xue knew Shao Tianze’s intention and asked Miaomiao, “Miaomiao, what do you want to eat?”

“Aunt, will you cook for me?”

“Of course.” Shao Xue nodded.

Miaomiao just wanted to talk to her brother on the phone and was not in the mood to eat at all. However, if she was not full, she could not call her brother. So she said a few dishes causally.

“I’ll prepare them for you right away, OK?”

“Aunt, you are injured. Don’t cook.”

Shao Xue was surprised that Miaomiao could remember that she was injured at this moment.

She smiled, “As long as you want to eat, I will make it. Wait for me, Miaomiao.”

After saying this, Shao Xue left the room for the kitchen.

Seeing that Shao Xue had left, Shao Tianze said to Miaomiao, “Without your brother at home to take care of you, your aunt still cherishes you, Miaomiao.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Miaomiao pouted and was still unhappy, “Brother is brother. Aunt is aunt. I want both my aunt and my brother.”

Listening to his daughter’s words, Shao Tianze touched his daughter’s head lightly, “Be good. When your brother grows up, he will come back to accompany you.”

Shao Tianze was sure that Gu Yi would come back to look for Miaomiao when he grew up.

Nevertheless, there were still some years before Gu Yi became an adult. During these years, Shao Tianze would keep his daughter by his side and take care of her.

...

After returning to the company, Song Yunxuan received a call from Lu Feng as soon as she sat down.

Lu Feng asked Song Yunxuan, “Miss Song, are you free this afternoon? Let’s have dinner together.”

Song Yunxuan was in a bad mood because she learned that Gu Yi had left Yuncheng early in the morning. Hearing Lu Feng’s invitation, she wanted to refuse.

But thinking of Lu Feng’s value to her, she said, “OK. Mr. Lu, you decide the time.”

“Let’s go to the Pansy, shall we?”

“Good.”

Song Yunxuan had no opinion on where to dine. What she wanted to know most was how Lu Feng would work with her.

Although her pregnancy had not spread yet, she was afraid that Shao Tianze would learn about it someday.

And Lu Feng had rashly announced the news of their arranged marriage.

For Lu Feng, this was risky. And it wasn’t a rational decision.

After setting a mealtime with Lu Feng, she made a few polite remarks and hung up the phone.

Lu Feng also didn’t want to talk too much.

Mei Qi walked into the office and said to her, “The reporters outside would like to ask you a few questions.”

“The timing of Lu Feng’s announcement is strange. I don’t want to face those reporters now.”

Since Song Yunxuan had said so, Mei Qi would help Song Yunxuan get rid of the reporters outside the door.

After solving the reporters, Mei Qi asked, “Manager Song, are you still going to Harbor City?”

“I’m not going for the time being. Send people to keep an eye on Gu Yi for me.”

The situation in Yuncheng was turbulent. Many things needed to be handled by her personally.

As long as some suitable and reliable people took care of Gu Yi for her, she would not worry.

Even if Gu Changle and Shao Tianze wanted to hurt Gu Yi, they would not succeed.

Hearing Song Yunxuan’s words, Mei Qi nodded, “Manager Song, trust me. I will arrange the staff for you.”

Song Yunxuan nodded.

Then, Mei Qi left Song Yunxuan’s office.

When the appointed time in the afternoon came, Lu Feng’s assistant arrived at the door of Song Yunxuan’s office before Song Yunxuan could leave.

Song Yunxuan frowned when she heard a soft knock on the door.

Song Yunxuan’s assistant said, “Manager Song, it’s Mr. Lu’s assistant.”

Song Yunxuan frowned and said, “Come in.”

A man walked in. After seeing Song Yunxuan, he said politely, “Miss Song, Mr. Lu asked me to pick you up.”

“I have a car. I will be there at the appointed time.”

Song Yunxuan didn’t want to contact Lu Feng too often, even if the news of their marriage had been announced.

She also didn’t want Lu Feng to be too high-profile.

However, Lu Feng’s actions were completely contrary to her thoughts.

Hearing Song Yunxuan’s words, Lu Feng’s assistant said, “Miss Song, Mr. Lu asked me to pick you up. If I don’t drive you there, Mr. Lu will blame me.”

“Whether he blames you or not, it’s none of my business.”

Song Yunxuan said coldly.

That made the assistant shut up. He didn’t know how to refute Song Yunxuan’s words.

After Song Yunxuan finished her work, Lu Feng’s assistant was still standing in the office, unwilling to leave.

It seemed that he wouldn’t leave unless Song Yunxuan went with him.

Seeing that, Song Yunxuan nodded, “Well, I’ll go with you.”

Hearing Song Yunxuan’s words, Lu Feng’s assistant felt relieved.

However, Song Yunxuan’s next sentence made his relaxed mood heavy.

Song Yunxuan called Mei Qi in and said, “Assistant Mei, would you like to have dinner with me?”

Assistant Mei had been used to free meals. Now that his boss offered him a free meal, he happily accepted.

However, hearing Mei Qi’s happy acceptance, Lu Feng’s assistant wore a ghastly expression.
