Cheng Zhao was a traditional Chinese man. Even though he missed his child dearly, he couldn't bring himself to say it out loud for the sake of his pride.
Now that Han Jingqin had exposed him, he immediately felt a little embarrassed. He laughed dryly and said, "Why are you saying all this?"
Han Jingqin pursed her lips. "If I didn't say it, Jiujiu would have thought that you didn't miss her!"
Han Jingqin hugged Jiujiu's arm and whispered into Jiujiu's ear, "Your father is a very prideful person. He clearly misses you so much, but he always says that he doesn't miss you. When you called me this morning, he was already in the car. In the end, he came down and said that he suddenly remembered that he had nothing to do at the company today and would go tomorrow. Don't you think that's funny?"
Cheng Zhao's face instantly flushed a light red after being exposed by his own wife. However, he insisted on sitting on the sofa and was unwilling to leave.
His love for his daughter was as clear as day.
When Jiujiu heard this, she immediately let go of Han Jingqin's arm and ran to Cheng Zhao's side. She hugged Cheng Zhao's arm and said coquettishly, "Dad, I missed you too."
Suddenly, Jiujiu hugged his arm. Jiujiu's little head pressed tightly against his arm. Her fluffy hair rubbed against his shoulder like a little puppy. She was sweet and cute, obedient and delicate.
Suddenly, Cheng Zhao's heart started to tremble.
Cheng Zhao really liked his daughter, Jiujiu. However, ever since Cheng Jiujiu grew up, he hadn't interacted with her so intimately for a long time. Now that Jiujiu took the initiative to get close to him and rub against him like this, a warm current instantly flowed through his heart.
His hand seemed to stiffen. He slowly raised his hand and placed it on Jiujiu's head. He rubbed it and said softly, "Dad missed you too."
Cheng Zhao's voice was very soft and even a little stiff because of his nervousness. However, to Jiujiu's ears, it was as sweet as honey.
Han Jingqin looked at the harmonious scene of her husband and daughter together. She took out her phone, snapped a picture, and posted it on her Moments.
Cheng Ran, who was at work, finally wanted to relax and scroll through her WeChat Moments during lunch. In the end, she saw that her younger sister, who had not been home for a long time, had not only returned home, but was also leaning on her father's shoulder and acting coquettishly.
He was still wondering why his father didn't come to the company today when he was at work, but now he understood.
No wonder Dad didn't come to the company. He wanted to monopolize Little Sister.
Thinking of her delicate and soft sister, Cheng Ran immediately finished the food in the lunch box in two or three bites. She didn't even take a break and went straight back to work.
He had to quickly finish the documents in his hands and go home to talk to his sister.
This heartless little brat, before she got married, she followed behind her all day long and called her brother sweetly. After she got married, not only did she not follow behind her, she even stopped pestering her. Thinking of the reason why Cheng Jiujiu got married, Cheng Ran could not help but clench her fists.
He must work hard and strive to carry forward the Cheng family. At least in the future, when his daughter got married, they wanted to be together because they liked each other, and not because of the inheritance and future of the family.
Cheng Ran rushed and finally finished all the work before he got off work.
When he got home, the family was sitting on the sofa watching TV. His sister leaned on her father's left side and leaned on her mother's right side. She was laughing without a care in the world. There was no trace of her missing him at all.
Thinking of how he had been worried about her all this time, but she didn't even think about him, Cheng Ran snorted in annoyance. He glared at Jiujiu and walked into the house. As he changed his shoes, he said, "How come you have time to come back today?"
Cheng Ran had a sister complex. When Cheng Jiujiu was young, Cheng Zhao and Han Jingqin were busy with work, so Cheng Ran helped take care of Cheng Jiujiu.
Cheng Jiujiu's relationship with her parents was not as deep as her relationship with Cheng Ran. At this moment, seeing Cheng Ran come back, Jiujiu's eyes lit up. She immediately rushed out of the encirclement of Cheng Zhao and Han Jingqin. She trotted to Cheng Ran and smiled sweetly. "Brother, brother, brother, brother, you're back."
"I was afraid that if I didn't come back, you little heartless girl would forget that you have a brother."
In fact, when he saw Jiujiu smile at him, Cheng Ran's heart had already softened. He no longer wanted to be angry at Jiujiu, but he was still a little unhappy and muttered a few words. It seemed that he would not be happy if he did not say it.
Jiujiu knew Cheng Ran's thoughts. She knew that Cheng Ran was stubborn and soft-hearted. She directly hugged Cheng Ran's arm and said, "Brother, if you do this again, I'll tell Sister Xianan that you're acting cute with me."
Cheng Ran and Gu Xianan had been together for many years.
Gu Xianan's temperament was gentle. After being together with Cheng Ran, she got along well with Jiujiu. The two of them had a very good relationship. Privately, Cheng Jiujiu had long regarded Gu Xianan as her sister-in-law. At this moment, Jiujiu naturally used Gu Xianan to tease Cheng Ran.
Gu Xianan was Cheng Ran's junior in school. The two of them met by accident. After a while, the two of them became familiar with each other.
However, Cheng Ran respected and liked Gu Xianan, but she always felt that there was a little lack of passion. The two of them got along like a cup of gentle water. There was no special feeling of impulse. At this moment, when hearing Jiujiu talk about Gu Xianan, Cheng Ran could not help but think that she was always mature and steady in front of Gu Xianan. If Gu Xianan knew that she would act cute, she would lose face.
Cheng Ran glanced at Jiujiu angrily. But what could she do about her sister? She could only spoil her.
Cheng Ran pinched Jiujiu's cheek. "You only know how to bully me because I'm easy to talk to."
Jiujiu smiled. The family fell into a group of harmony again.
After dinner, Cheng Zhao and Han Jingqin knew that Cheng Ran and Jiujiu had a very good relationship. They also knew that their son must have come back so early today because he wanted to talk to their daughter. After dinner, the two of them found an excuse to go out and leave the house to Jiujiu and Cheng Ran.
Cheng Ran looked at Jiujiu who kept sending messages. She could not help but ask, "How are you recently?"
Jiujiu put down the phone in her hand and smiled slightly. "Of course I'm very good. Brother, why do you ask?"
Jiujiu's answer did not make Cheng Ran feel relieved. Instead, Cheng Ran continued to say with a sad expression, "I know that you don't like Li Shujun. You married him because of the family alliance. I'm useless. If I were more powerful, you wouldn't have married him because of the family."
Her sister's marriage had always been a pain in Cheng Ran's heart. She was a girl who was as beautiful as a flower. She should have been unrestrained and unrestrained, revealing her own beauty. However, because of family reasons, she didn't even have a decent relationship before getting married.
Jiujiu and Li Shujun had been married for such a long time. Although it was a relatively private matter, as long as one wanted to inquire about it, it could not be hidden at all.
Every time he thought of how the girl he wanted to cherish like a pearl in his hand was treated like this after marriage, he felt particularly sad.
