When Cold Thunder returned home, Lu Xiaonan was sitting on the sofa in the living room eating grapes.
Not having to go to kindergarten and spending every day eating, sleeping, and playing was simply wonderful for Lu Xiaonan!
As soon as he entered, Cold Thunder sat down in front of the sofa and hugged Lu Xiaonan.
"It's Uncle Cold! I haven't seen you for two days!"
Indeed, driving to Wild Ghost Mountain took more than ten hours, and returning took another ten hours. With meals in between, he had already sped up, but it still took two days.
"Did you miss me?"
"I did! But my mom missed you more. I heard her asking the aunts where you went, hehe." Lu Xiaonan covered his mouth and giggled.
Cold Thunder couldn't help but laugh as well.
"Uncle Cold, your house is so big! I've almost gotten lost several times."
"You won't feel it's big after spending more time here. Xiao Nan, do you like it here?"
"I like it! There are so many delicious foods and lots of toys. Of course I like it!"
"Then don't call me Uncle Cold anymore."
"What should I call you?" Lu Xiaonan tilted his head and looked at Cold Thunder.
"Call me Dad."
"Call me Dad? But you are Cold Haocheng's dad, not my dad."
This was because, initially, it was agreed that Cold Haocheng would belong to Cold Thunder and Lu Xiaonan would belong to Lu Kenian. They had not informed the children about this arrangement.
"I am your dad, your real dad. Don't you think you look a lot like me? You and Xiao Bei are twins!"
"Twins? Really?"
"Of course it's true. You can ask your mom; you should believe what she says, right?"
Lu Xiaonan nodded.
Cold Thunder clapped his hands. "Bring the things in!"
At his command, a group of people came in, each holding gifts that Cold Thunder had bought for Lu Xiaonan.
There were several large stuffed toys that were at least twice the size of Lu Xiaonan, along with beautiful clothes, dolls, and an endless supply of colorful imported candies and chocolates.
"Wow—"
Lu Xiaonan jumped up, clapping her hands and squealing with excitement!
Lu Kenian was very capable at work, but in a small city, the salary levels were low. After just giving birth, she had to hire a nanny to take care of the few-month-old Lu Xiaonan, making it quite difficult to get by.
She immediately hugged a giant white rabbit that was taller than her. "Is all of this for me?"
"All of it is for you," Cold Thunder said with a smile as he looked at his precious daughter.
"I love it so much, I love it!" Cold Thunder held Lu Xiaonan in his arms while she hugged the big white rabbit tightly.
"From now on, whatever you want, Daddy will give it to you. So can you call me Daddy now?"
Lu Xiaonan thought for a moment, "Um... I still need to ask Mommy."
"Alright, then would you be willing to help me with something?"
Lu Xiaonan immediately nodded eagerly.
"You've given me so many gifts, of course I'll help you!"
Cold Thunder leaned in and whispered something into Lu Xiaonan's ear.
Lu Kenian was still holding Cold Haocheng as before. Over the past couple of days, Cold Haocheng's condition had improved significantly; he was now able to look around.
But he still wouldn't let Lu Kenian leave his side.
"Mommy..." Lu Xiaonan peeked her little head in.
"Come in quickly." Lu Kenian waved with one of her free hands, glad that Cold Haocheng was awake today and could let Lu Xiaonan, the chatterbox, talk to him.
"Hehehe." Lu Xiaonan pushed the door open and walked in, dressed in a white princess dress, looking just like a little princess.
"Mommy, do you think I look pretty?"
Lu Xiaonan lifted her skirt and twirled around.
Lu Kenian immediately nodded, "You look beautiful, very beautiful."
What mother wouldn't want her precious daughter to look lovely?
The clothes are clearly from the Cold Thunder, and Lu Kenian feels uncomfortable about it. However, thinking it over, the Cold Thunder is also Lu Xiaonan's father, who simply bought her a piece of clothing, so it's not a big deal.
Lu Xiaonan bounced over to Lu Kenian's side.
"Mom, I have something to tell you."
"Are you feeling homesick?" Lu Kenian patted Lu Xiaonan's little head.
They had been out for many days.
"Yes, Mom, the sunflowers I planted haven't been watered by anyone. I wonder if they'll die," Lu Xiaonan scratched her little head, suddenly feeling troubled.
"They won't die. Sunflowers are very strong; they can grow in even the harshest conditions. Xiao Nan should be strong like the sunflowers, understand?"
"Mm!"
Lu Xiaonan looked down and saw her bulging bag, which reminded her that she had gotten sidetracked!
"Mom, there's still something I haven't said!"
"What is it?" Lu Kenian asked patiently.
"Right, what is it?" Lu Xiaonan tilted her little head but just couldn't remember what it was!
Oh no, she forgot!
Because of her earlier conversation with Lu Kenian and getting distracted by her own appearance as soon as she entered the room, she completely forgot what the Cold Thunder had told her.
"Why can't I remember?" Lu Xiaonan stamped her feet in frustration.
This made Lu Kenian laugh.
"You have such a poor memory at such a young age; how will you manage when you grow up? Think carefully."
"But I really can't remember!"
Lu Xiaonan pouted, unable to recall!
Outside the door, Cold Thunder, dressed in a white suit, slapped his forehead.
I knew she couldn't be relied upon!
"Never mind! Mom, here, this is for you!" Lu Xiaonan decided to proceed with the final step and pulled out a small square box from her bag, shoving it into Lu Kenian's hands.
Lu Kenian looked at the red velvet box.
Under normal circumstances, this would be a ring box.
Seeing that things were going awry, Cold Thunder immediately opened the door and walked in, holding a bouquet of bright red roses that contrasted with his white suit.
Cold Thunder took a deep breath and knelt on one knee.
" Lu Kenian, will you marry me?"
"Wow! What beautiful flowers! I want some too!" Lu Xiaonan reached out her little hand toward Cold Thunder and grabbed the bouquet.
"No way, you can't have this." Cold Thunder held onto the bouquet tightly.
"Hmm... didn't you say you'd give me whatever I wanted? I want this!" Lu Xiaonan stubbornly refused to let go.
"Listen, turn around and Daddy will buy you something prettier."
"I want this one!"
The father and daughter engaged in a tug-of-war.
"Pfft—" Lu Kenian couldn't help but laugh.
Cold Thunder looked at Lu Kenian and smiled awkwardly.
No matter how much he calculated, he never expected this daughter to be so unreliable!
"Alright, you're an adult now. Don't you think it's embarrassing to fight with a child over something?"
"Exactly!" Lu Xiaonan quickly chimed in.
Cold Thunder let go.
"Okay, you've got the flowers, go play," Lu Kenian said to Lu Xiaonan.
Lu Xiaonan held a large bouquet of roses, feeling extremely happy.
"So what do you mean by that?"
