Chapter 41: Mom's phone《2》

"Dad, I've got something I'd really love you to promise me!" Xiao Le'er suddenly asked, her eyes alight with excitement.

"What is it?" Xiao Feng was brimming with excitement, eager to tell Mi Jiajia the fantastic news.

"I want you to promise me that you'll get my consent when you find a mother for me in the future, okay?" Xiao Le'er said with hope and excitement.

"Oh, okay... great!" Xiao Feng replied with a cheerful smile.

"Wow, Dad, you are so nice!" Xiao Le'er gave Xiao Feng a big, excited kiss on the face.

"Hey, Le'er, wait, what question did you ask just now?" Xiao Feng asked, his eyes twinkling, as he touched the place on his face where Le'er had kissed him.

"I hate it, Dad! You've got to do it! You don't want to regret it, do you?" Xiao Le'er pouted playfully, her eyes twinkling with mischief.

"No, Le'er, Dad was thinking about something just now, so I didn't hear your question clearly, but I'm really excited to hear it!" Xiao Feng looked at Le'er's face and explained excitedly.

"I want Dad to promise me that he can only date her after I agree to help me find my mum – I'm so excited to see what happens next!" Xiao Le'er repeated, her eyes alight with excitement.

"Is that so?" she replied, her eyes alight with curiosity. It's totally fine to ask Dad to agree, but you have to promise him you won't make any unreasonable trouble. Xiao Feng thought for a moment and then said,

"Absolutely! As long as she truly loves Dad and treats me well, I'm all for your relationship. I'll be happy to support you in any way I can." Le'er was delighted to agree.

"That's great! Oh, and Le'er, I'd love to know how you found Dad here! "Did you come alone?" Xiao Feng looked at Xiao Le'er's suitcase and asked with a sparkle in his eye.

"Absolutely! I came here all by myself!" A few months ago, after my mum passed away, I was sent to an orphanage. I wasn't happy there at all, so I set off to find my grandmother at the address my mum left. After seeing the token I gave her, my grandmother asked me to live with her, but I was really excited to see my father. My grandmother wanted to send me here, but I said I could find it by myself and I was right! "My grandmother was busy at work, so she gave me your address and asked me to come here alone." Xiao Le'er said, beaming with excitement.

"Le'er is absolutely amazing!" Xiao Feng playfully ran his fingers through Le'er's hair, feeling a little distressed. Xiao Le'er said it simply, but he could imagine how incredible it would be for a twelve-year-old girl to be in that situation!

"Of course, I'm still amazing!" Guess what! I can cook, wash clothes, mop the floor and do housework. "I'll cook for my father in the future, okay?" Xiao Le'er said, her eyes alight with excitement.

"Okay, then! Dad is waiting to taste Le'er's cooking skills, but it's late now. Le'er must be absolutely exhausted after sitting in the car for a whole day! Go take a shower, change clothes and go to bed! "Oh, and wait for Dad to take you out to play tomorrow, okay?"

"Oh, and I also want Dad to take me to KFC!" "Mom always said that KFC is not good, so she never took me there, but I'm really excited to try it!"

"Absolutely! Dad will take you to eat enough tomorrow. "Now, go take a shower and go to bed so you'll be full of beans tomorrow!" Xiao Feng took Le'er to the bathroom and began to teach her how to use the shower with great enthusiasm.

Back in the living room, Xiao Feng let out a long breath, and suddenly found that everything today seemed like a dream. In that moment, he realised that his life experience of more than 20 years was nothing compared to what he had encountered today – it was all so exciting and new!

Xiao Feng sat down on the sofa, and his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket. He eagerly took out his cell phone and looked at the caller ID. He quickly pressed the answer button and said with a big, bright smile: "Mom, you're amazing! How did you find the time to call me?"

"You cheeky thing, you still have the nerve to say that!" Guess what! You went to Shanghai alone and didn't even call your mother all year round, let alone come home to see her. "Oh, did you forget that you still have a home?" Liu Ruoshi's lovely voice came through the phone, and although she was teasing him, Xiao Feng was flattered.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I'll do better next time!" I'm excited to tell you why I haven't called back yet! My son has never achieved anything, so I'm waiting for the perfect moment to call. "Don't worry! My son will definitely go back to visit you and Dad as soon as he gets the chance." Xiao Feng said with a big, bright smile.

"Oh, I'm sure you'll have time! I'm just not sure when I'll have to wait." Oh, and has Le'er come to your place yet? I'm so excited to see your daughter! "Are you surprised?" Liu Ruoshi was too busy to bother blaming her son and was keen to hear all about the business.

Xiao Feng glanced at the bathroom door, lowered his voice and exclaimed: "Mom, you are really something! I would have loved to be mentally prepared for such a big thing. My son was almost scared to death by your surprise, but thankfully he's got a good heart and a strong spirit."

Liu Ruoshi laughed for a while on the other end of the phone and said: "Who told you to be so young and not learn well, causing such a big disaster to the girl? Now you know the headache! What will you do in the future? Let others know that you have such a big daughter before you get married! Which girl will be willing to want you?"

Xiao Feng smiled brightly: "No worries! If no one wants it, I'll just live happily ever after with Le'er."

"Stinky boy, if your father knew you had this idea, he would be so proud of you! He is counting on you to carry on the family line. If you don't get married, he will be able to forgive you." Liu Ruoshi laughed and teased him on the phone.
