Chapter 1217: He Felt Like He Was About to Fall Out of Love!

“That Little Happy’s father and You Nainai have been pretty close recently. Last Sunday… the two of them took Little Candy and Little Happy to the playground!” At this point, Tang Zheng couldn’t help but loosen his tie. “If that’s the case, why would they still need me as a father? For display?”
Fu Huai’an looked at the furious expression on Tang Zheng’s face and replied, “They just took their children to the playground. Don’t flare up at You Nainai.”
Fu Huai’an knew that the reason You Nainai and Little Happy’s father took their children to the playground was that Tang Zheng had stood up the mother and child the week before!
Tang Zheng had been caught up with Gu Qingcheng’s matters and couldn’t make time to go to the playground with You Nainai and Little Candy that Sunday.
When You Nainai asked Tang Zheng why he was too busy, Tang Zheng couldn’t admit that it was because of Gu Qingcheng. At the same time, he had sworn to You Nainai that he would never lie to her again, or else he would lose her…
As such, Tang Zheng couldn’t give her an explanation.
When Tuan Tuan returned home the next day, he said that Little Candy had said with reddened eyes that Tang Zheng was a liar and that she would never talk to Tang Zheng ever again.
Then, to cheer Little Candy up, Little Happy told her that he would lend her his father and that he was willing to go to the playground with her. That was why You Nainai took the child to the playground yesterday.
“I didn’t flare up at You Nainai!” Tang Zheng frowned and poked at his rice. “The problem is Little Candy…”
Tang Zheng sighed.
Little Candy said that she wanted Little Happy’s father to be her father… and that since Little Happy didn’t have a mother and she didn’t have a father, if their parents got together, she would have a father and Little Happy would have a mother!
When Little Candy said this, she hadn’t realized that her biological father, Tang Zheng, was around. You Nainai and Little Happy’s father’s faces flushed with embarrassment.
It would have been fine if the two of them reacted normally, but the two of them blushed. This caused Tang Zheng to feel wary… He constantly felt like something was going on between the two of them.
Tang Zheng didn’t dare to say anything in front of You Nainai because he didn’t want her to think that he was petty. However, he constantly felt uneasy over the past few days.
To make matters worse, You Nainai was moving into her new house and didn’t allow Tang Zheng to help, troubling Little Happy’s father instead. Tang Zheng was upset and didn’t contact You Nainai for a few days. However, You Nainai didn’t feel anything and didn’t contact him either.
Although You Nainai hadn’t told Tang Zheng that she wanted to be together with him, he felt like… he was already going to fall out of love!
Fu Huai’an walked to his big office desk and picked up his cup. He then leaned against the desk and smiled at Tang Zheng. “I heard from Xiao Nuan that You Nainai has been incredibly busy with moving. You should take this chance to gain her affection!”
“There’s already someone who’s dying to gain You Nainai’s affection. There won’t be any use in me doing that!” replied Tang Zheng.
“Now, don’t get upset. Can your and You Nainai’s relationship be broken by Little Candy’s classmate’s father? You just have to do what you’re supposed to do. You Nainai will be able to make the choice herself!” Fu Huai’an practically taught Tang Zheng step-by-step how to resolve his relationship issues.
Regardless of whether Tang Zheng had understood what Fu Huai’an said, he nodded. “Got it!”
…
Lu Jinnan went to his father-in-law’s house during his lunch break. He took off his suit jacket, stepped on the stool, and replaced the bathroom light.
“Jinnan, if you’re still in the middle of replacing the bathroom light, you don’t have to finish it now. Come and have lunch first!” Bai Xiaonian’s father wiped his hands on his apron, poked his head out of the kitchen, and shouted in the direction of the bathroom.
“It’s already done, Father!”
Lu Jinnan came down from the stool, took out the old lightbulb from his pocket, and threw it into the trash. He then tried switching on the light in the bathroom, and the bathroom was instantly lit up.
Lu Jinnan wiped down the stool and washed his hands before stepping out of the bathroom. Bai Xiaonian’s father had even placed bowls of rice on the table.
Lu Jinnan saw the sumptuous meal on the table, then looked towards the kitchen. Seeing that Bai Xiaonian’s father was scooping out soup, he went over to help him.
“Father, there’s only the two of us. You didn’t have to cook so much!”
“You youngsters are so busy at work nowadays. Never mind not getting enough rest, how can you not eat well?” Bai Xiaonian’s father said as he walked behind Lu Jinnan.
Lu Jinnan felt nervous since this was the first time he was having lunch with Bai Xiaonian’s father and no one else.
Bai Xiaonian’s father didn’t let Lu Jinnan drink alcohol since he still had to work in the afternoon.
Bai Xiaonian’s father looked like he had something to say ever since they started eating. It wasn’t until they were in the middle of the lunch that he said to Lu Jinnan, “I’ve noticed that Xiaonian hasn’t been treating you well recently. You’re a good man… I know that you’ve been patiently waiting for Xiaonian, and I’m very grateful for that! I’ve always been worried that your patience towards Xiaonian would wear thin. If that happens… when I’m no longer around, Xiaonian will be all alone, and I won’t be able to rest in peace!”
“Father… don’t say that!” Lu Jinnan felt awful after hearing what Bai Xiaonian’s father said.
Bai Xiaonian’s father waved at him, indicating that he wanted Lu Jinnan to let him continue. “I asked you to come over because I wanted to tell you… that if Xiaonian continues to be stubborn, just give up! I can’t be so selfish! I only cared about my daughter and neglected your future! Xiaonian is the apple of my eye and my lifeblood, just as you are to your father!”
Lu Jinnan tightened his hold on his chopsticks.
“Maybe you and Xiaonian are destined to meet but not fated to be together. You two might as well get a divorce… so that you can have your freedom and find your own happiness!” Bai Xiaonian’s father’s eyes reddened as he said this. “It was too selfish of me to constantly encourage you to keep pursuing Xiaonian and nag at her to accept you.”
Bai Xiaonian’s father had mulled over what he said to Lu Jinnan that day for a long time.
He had talked to Bai Xiaonian, telling her that since it was impossible for her and Lu Jinnan to be together, it was better to set them free and let them go their own separate ways!
He couldn’t force Bai Xiaonian to be together with Lu Jinnan just because he thought that Lu Jinnan was a good person. He was holding Lu Jinnan back and making Bai Xiaonian unhappy.
Bai Xiaonian’s father always felt that he was using his illness to tie down the two young adults. He was the one who created the problem, so he wanted to solve it.
Lu Jinnan was silent for a moment before he put down his chopsticks and looked up at Bai Xiaonian’s father. He had a serious expression on his face as he said, “Father… the reason I’ve been nice to Xiaonian and haven’t given up on her isn’t because you encouraged me to chase after her. I really love her, and… I’ve let her down, and I want to make it up to her!”
Bai Xiaonian’s father didn’t understand what Lu Jinnan said. After a moment of confusion, Bai Xiaonian’s father’s furrowed eyebrows relaxed in understanding. “You don’t owe her… for saving your life back in America! Don’t worry about that!”
