Dad is here

Chapter 69

On Monday morning, Xu Luofeng was woken up by the alarm.

He sent text messages with Mu Fengying who was far away in Xi'an, and only slept for two hours at this time.

He forced himself to open his eyes, and immediately went to probe Mu Xiaotao's forehead, only to find that the little guy had already woken up, and was curled up under the blanket, looking at him aggrievedly.

Thankfully, her fever has subsided. Xu Luofeng plucked her hair, sat up, and smiled at Mu Xiaotao: "Why didn't Xiaotao call Dad when she woke up?"

Mu Xiaotao lowered her eyes, pouted her mouth and remained silent.Xu Luofeng pinched her face and asked: "Dad is going to work today, would Xiao Tao go to grandpa's place, or follow Dad to work?"

Mu Xiaotao was bored for a while, then whispered, "Follow Dad."

Xu Luofeng smiled even wider, and said, "Then let's get up together. Yesterday, Grandma Cheng made small wontons for Xiaotao, and Dad cooked them for you, okay?"

"Okay." Although Mu Xiaotao said so, she was still lying on the bed, not as lively as usual. Xu Luofeng felt strange, and wanted to lift her quilt, but Mu Xiaotao firmly grabbed her .

"Xiao Tao, what's wrong?" Xu Luofeng asked worriedly.

Mu Xiaotao blushed, and after a while she cried sadly, and even pulled the quilt over her head while crying.

Xu Luofeng was confused, and threw off her quilt.The room was filled with urgency, Xu Luofeng was petrified, Mu Xiaotao's little secret was discovered, she simply lay on the bed with her buttocks pouted, and cried loudly.

With a dark face, Xu Luofeng hugged her to take a bath and change clothes. After tidying up Mu Xiaotao, he went back to the room and started tidying up the sheets and quilts that were soaked by little things. She pinched her little nose and said to Xu Luofeng, "Daddy smells so bad."

Who is it that stinks, kid? !

Xu Luofeng removed the quilt cover with a straight face: "No."

He took Mu Xiaotao to the company. In the last few working days before the Chinese New Year, Xu Luofeng was actually not as free as he said.On Monday morning, he has a year-end summary meeting to be held, and he cannot be absent.

The car stopped in the parking lot, Xu Luofeng got out of the car, and it happened that Chang Zhibin also stopped not far away, he smiled and came over to say hello: "Good morning, Manager Xu."

"Morning." Xu Luofeng said as he carried Mu Xiaotao down from the back seat. Mu Xiaotao was wearing a little red hat and carrying her small schoolbag, looking curiously at the stunned Chang Zhibin.

"Xiao Tao, call me Uncle." Xu Luofeng led Mu Xiaotao to Chang Zhibin, and Mu Xiaotao obediently called, "Hello, Uncle!"

Xu Luofeng said to the dull-faced Chang Zhibin, "This is my daughter, her name is Xiaotao."

The news that Xu Luofeng brought a little loli to work quickly spread throughout the company. He went to a meeting and specifically told Chang Zhibin not to go, but to stay and help him look after Xiaotao.

Taking advantage of the high-level meeting, many employees excitedly came to visit Xu Luofeng's department to see his legendary daughter. When they saw him, they all yelled, "Wow! She looks like Manager Xu!"

Seeing so many unfamiliar uncles and aunts, Mu Xiaotao was a little scared at first, and couldn't help crying, clamoring to find her father.Chang Zhibin was overwhelmed, until a few female employees brought fruit snacks to Mu Xiaotao, and the little guy gradually became lively.

When Xu Luofeng returned to the department after the meeting, he heard Mu Xiaotao's laughter from a distance. He walked quietly to the door and saw the eldest sister in the office holding Mu Xiaotao while watching the tropical fish in the fish tank.

When some employees saw Xu Luofeng coming back, they immediately returned to their seats. They were usually a little afraid of Xu Luofeng, but when they saw him this day, they all smiled.

The eldest sister turned her head and saw Xu Luofeng, she also laughed, and said to Mu Xiaotao who was in her arms, "Look, Dad is back."

Mu Xiaotao got off the ground, ran to Xu Luofeng's side, took out a small package of biscuits from the left pocket of her clothes, and took out a chocolate candy from the right pocket, handed it to Xu Luofeng, and said, "Dad, auntie give me food."

"Did you say thank you?" Xu Luofeng patted her head, Mu Xiaotao nodded, "Yes."

He took his daughter into the office and asked her to draw on the tea table. Mu Xiaotao lost interest after drawing for a while, and stuck to Xu Luofeng's side.

"Father." She lay on Xu Luofeng's lap and asked, "When will Mommy come back?"

Mu Xiaotao hadn't seen Mu Fengying for five days. She felt that it had been a long time, so long that she could only think about her mother. Even though Xu Luofeng had answered her many times, she still asked him over and over again.

Xu Luofeng was not impatient, and said, "Mom still has to work for a few days, does Xiaotao miss her?"

"Yeah." Mu Xiaotao nodded, and suddenly asked, "Dad, when did you and Mom get married?"

"..." Xu Luofeng didn't understand how Mu Xiaotao would ask such a high-end question, so he asked, "Why does Xiaotao ask this?"

"Just now, my aunt asked me." Mu Xiaotao said, "Auntie said that you can only have a baby if you are married. The auntie asked me when my father and mother got married. I, I said, I don't know."

Xu Luofeng pondered for a while, then asked Mu Xiaotao: "Xiaotao, do you know what marriage is?"

"I know!" Mu Xiaotao regained her energy now, shaking her head and began to show off, "Marriage means, a lot of people, going to a big restaurant for dinner! The bride wears a beautiful dress, beautiful, and there are many flowers, many Tangtang, many small toys!"

She has definitely participated in more weddings than children of the same age. Xu Luofeng laughed and said, "Xiaotao, my father told you that marriage means that father, mother, and baby live happily as a family." Together, you can only do this if you are married."

Mu Xiaotao couldn't understand again.

Xu Luofeng said: "Just like before, when father and mother, and Xiaotao lived together."

Seeing that Mu Xiaotao's eyes were confused, Xu Luofeng tried to speak as plain as possible: "But Xiaotao, Mom...seems like she doesn't want to marry Dad anymore."

Mu Xiaotao blinked at Xu Luofeng and asked, "Why?"

"Well... because Dad made Mom angry." Xu Luofeng smiled and asked, "Xiao Tao, what do you think Dad should do?"

Mu Xiaotao didn't take it seriously, and generously threw five words at Xu Luofeng: "Apologize, Dad."

In the afternoon, when Feng Yunxiu was discharged from the hospital, Xu Luofeng took Mu Xiaotao to help. When Mu Yang pushed Feng Yunxiu, who was in a cast and in a wheelchair, to the side of the car, several relatives were studying how to get Feng Yunxiu into the car. Xu Luofeng said to Mu Yang: "Uncle, let me carry Auntie, you protect her legs."

When he got into the car with Feng Yunxiu on his back, Mu Xiaotao followed him up and down, not forgetting to cheer her father on.

Feng Yunxiu's brother whispered to Mu Yang: "This guy is not bad, and he is Xiaotao's biological father. Look at this, he will be able to eat Yingying's wedding wine soon."

Mu Yang laughed straight, and said, "We don't interfere with the child's affairs, everything depends on Yingying's own will."

Xu Luofeng sent Mu Yang and Feng Yunxiu home, Mu Yang kept him for dinner, and he took Xiaotao out to buy groceries, leaving only Xu Luofeng and Feng Yunxiu at home.

Feng Yunxiu leaned on the bed, Xu Luofeng poured her a glass of water, looked at her casted leg, and said, "Auntie, I know an orthopedic doctor who has been practicing for decades. Although he doesn't work in a big hospital, his level is very good. , when you remove the plaster, I'll let him take a look at it for you."

Feng Yunxiu smiled: "Okay."

The two were speechless for a moment, Feng Yunxiu suddenly said: "Lao Mu told me a few days ago that he told you about Xiao Tao's childhood."

Xu Luofeng nodded: "Yes."

Feng Yunxiu took out a key from the drawer of the bedside table, pointed to a locked drawer under the TV cabinet and said to Xu Luofeng, "Here, open that, there are some photos, and Xiaotao's childhood medical records and examination reports."

Xu Luofeng was stunned for a while, then took the key to open the drawer, and took out a file bag according to Feng Yunxiu's instructions.

He sat beside Feng Yunxiu, looking at the photo in his hand in shock.

Feng Yunxiu sighed, and said: "Orthopedic doctor, we know a lot. Xiaotao has dealt with orthopedic doctors all day long when she was a child. Such a young child has suffered countless hardships. It's a pity that she can't speak, and she feels uncomfortable. When it hurts, I can only cry, she cries, Yingying and I cry together, and Lao Mu smokes day and night. At that time, Yingying kept saying, why is it not her who is sick, why is she called such a small Xiaotao , suffer such a crime.”

Mu Yang once told Xu Luofeng in the hospital that during Mu Xiaotao's three-month physical examination, because of the asymmetry of the skin lines on her buttocks and double thighs, the left leg was also abnormal when she opened her left leg. The doctor suggested that she go to the Children's Hospital for a reexamination. Xiao Tao had an ultrasound examination and was diagnosed with congenital left hip subluxation.

The incidence rate of this disease is one in a thousand. If it is not treated in time, it will become lame in the future.Fortunately, Mu Xiaotao was diagnosed early, and her left hip was tied with a professional sling for fixed correction.

Unexpectedly, after wearing a professional sling for four months, her reexamination situation was not ideal, because the doctor had to put a frog cast on her because of her advanced age.

Mu Yang said that this is a very painful treatment. Day after day, day and night, Mu Xiaotao's legs were rigidly fixed and stretched out. She felt very uncomfortable, and her temper became irritable. Crying loudly, but the adults have nothing to do, they can only watch her receive fixed treatment.

When Xu Luofeng heard what Mu Yang said, he had no idea about this disease at all, and now that he saw Mu Xiaotao alive and well, it was hard for him to imagine the scene at that time.But now, he saw Feng Yunxiu's hidden photos, such a small Mu Xiaotao, only about four or five months old, with her head shaved because of the hot weather, her legs were tied up in a strange posture, connected to her back Both have attached straps.

She was in Mu Fengying's arms, crying and facing the camera. Mu Fengying just closed her eyes, lowered her head, and gently pressed her forehead against Mu Xiaotao's head.

At that time, she had short hair, and she was also fatter. She looked not as young and beautiful as she is now. Xu Luofeng looked at the photo for a long time, and asked Feng Yunxiu: "Did Yingying leave school at home?"

"Yeah." Feng Yunxiu took the photo, looked at the scenes on it, and thought of those years, she said, "Yingying is very capable. She submitted a one-year suspension application to the school without telling us, and she passed the counseling." Then she came to tell us that there was an exchange student opportunity to go to Beijing, and she needed to go for a semester. She also pretended to take the documents to sign for us. Her father was not educated, so she didn’t doubt it at all. I I remember very clearly that that year, she left after the National Day, and when she left, she happily said that she would come back during the Chinese New Year."

Xu Luofeng: "..."

Feng Yunxiu smiled wryly, looked at Xu Luofeng, and said, "Xiao Xu, Auntie has always wanted to ask you, why were you so cruel back then, and you were able to leave Yingying behind? Were you and Yingying falling in love at that time? Do you like her or not? If you like her, how come you don't even know she's pregnant? "

Xu Luofeng couldn't say it. At that time, he didn't answer Mu Fengying's call, nor did he read her text messages, not a single one.

He was very worried about what she said in his heart. She said that she would forget him, meet a good man, and live happily ever after. Xu Luofeng always remembered Mu Fengying's tone when she said this, resolute and firm, he Knowing that he really hurt her, he also felt that it might be a good thing for both of them to separate from her earlier.

Therefore, he simply didn't read any text messages from Mu Fengying. Later, when the money for the domestic mobile phone number ran out, he directly threw the mobile phone into a river.

Feng Yunxiu wouldn't let Xu Luofeng go so easily, she said: "Xiao Xu, today we are the only ones here, and I won't make circles with you. Yingying's father has a rough temper, so he didn't feel anything, but Auntie is a woman, or Yingying Yingying's mother, I talked with Yingying on the phone that day, and I could tell that she had something on her mind recently."

Xu Luofeng: "..."

Feng Yunxiu fingered a few photos, and continued: "Xiao Xu, I hope you hear me clearly. Although Yingying's father and I have agreed to your relationship and know that you plan to marry Yingying, I hope you think carefully about it. , if you want to marry Yingying because of Xiaotao, I advise you to get rid of this idea as soon as possible. Our family Yingying is very good, there is no shortage of boys to like, and there is absolutely no need for you to sympathize with a charity-like marriage. Moreover, such a marriage is A family that is not secure at all and depends on children will break up sooner or later. Even if it does not break up, it is just an empty shell. Living in such a family is not only a kind of harm to the adults, but also to the children. Xiao Xu, you Understand?"

After listening to Feng Yunxiu's words, Xu Luofeng nodded and said, "I understand."

During dinner, Mu Fengying called Mu Yang. The father and daughter chatted for a while. Xu Luofeng sat at the dining table and glanced at Mu Yang from time to time, but he never heard Mu Yang tell Mu Fengying that he was also there. here.

After Mu Yang finished speaking, he gave the phone to Feng Yunxiu to say a few words, and then it was in Mu Xiaotao's hands.

"Mom, Mom!" Mu Xiaotao pressed her ear to the phone tightly, jumped up and down excitedly, kissed the microphone several times, and said, "Mom, Mom, I miss you so much, come back soon!"

After the mother and daughter chatted for a few minutes, Xu Luofeng couldn't sit still. He coughed deliberately, hoping that the person on the phone could hear the sound.

Mu Xiaotao suddenly said, "Mom, Dad is also at Grandpa's house!"

Ow!The daughter is indeed father's caring little padded jacket!

Mu Xiaotao handed the phone to Xu Luofeng: "Father, Mom wants to talk to you!" Xu Luofeng coughed again, and then put on airs to answer the phone: "Hello."

"..." Mu Fengying didn't know that Feng Yunxiu was injured, so she couldn't understand why Xu Luofeng was at Mu Yang's house.She asked, "Why are you here with my parents?"

Xu Luofeng replied: "I'll come and see Xiaotao."

"Look at Xiaotao, you can't run to my parents' house! I've made it clear to you, so don't let them misunderstand!"

Xu Luofeng felt very strange: "Yingying, we had a good chat last night..."

"So what?" Mu Fengying said in a bad tone, "I went to a place yesterday and remembered a lot of bad things from the past. I couldn't sleep at night and wanted to chat with someone. You happened to come here."

"..." Xu Luofeng couldn't believe it, "Mu Fengying, don't be joking! I'm serious about communicating with you now!"

"I'm talking to you very seriously." Mu Fengying smiled, "It's just a text message with you, my attitude hasn't changed, Xu Luofeng, we're done."

"Are you kidding me?!" Xu Luofeng was very angry.

Mu Fengying's voice was calm, with a bit of sarcasm: "Compared to you, what is this? At the beginning, after you dumped me, you still came to have sex with me, and kicked me away after you finished, did you forget? ?”

After dinner, Xu Luofeng left Mu Xiaotao at Mu Yang's house for the night. He went downstairs and called Lu Yunfan aggressively: "Come out for a drink."

There was strong background music from Lu Yunfan, he gasped loudly, and said, "What wine to drink, A Xu is back for the New Year, and he is exercising with me, will you come?"

Xu Luofeng said: "The old place, I'll be right there."

He always prepares sports equipment in the gym. After changing his clothes and warming up, he stepped on the treadmill and started running with great strides.

Lu Yunfan and Cheng Xu practiced the equipment for a while, and came to look at Xu Luofeng. Lu Yunfan looked at the speed he set, and said in surprise: "Did you take the wrong medicine?!"

Cheng Xu said: "It's probably because I was stimulated. Hey, by the way, Alu, I left after the wedding last time. What happened to Young Master Xu and Mu Fengying?"

"The two of them went to live together earlier." Lu Yunfan was a little upset, "Master Xu has been working as a full-time baby daddy these days. I asked him to come to the gym the day before yesterday and he was still nursing the baby at home. I don't know what's going on today. He blew it."

He stood in front of Xu Luofeng's treadmill with his arms folded, watching him sweat profusely on it, and asked, "What's wrong? Did Mu Fengying dump you?"

Xu Luofeng stopped the machine abruptly, panted heavily with his arms crossed, got off the treadmill, ignored Lu Yunfan, and turned to practice the equipment.

Xu Luofeng sat on a rowing machine and practiced a few times, when a low laugh suddenly sounded behind him.He turned around and saw that it was You Xinyang.

You Xinyang was standing there with his upper body bare and sports trousers, with a black bag slung over his shoulder, and he was staring at Xu Luofeng with great interest.

He seemed to have just finished exercising, his hair was wet, and his body was covered in sweat. The sweat slid down his muscular texture, and under the light, there was a kind of sexiness that belonged to men.

You Xinyang is tall, with a healthy complexion, broad shoulders and slender waist, and muscular body. Even in a high-end gym full of tough men, he is the most eye-catching one.

Xu Luofeng turned around and practiced on the rowing machine again, pushing and pulling, pushing and pulling, practicing extraordinarily hard.

You Xinyang didn't leave, instead, he went around to Xu Luofeng's side, looked at it for a while, and said, "Hey, you'll get hurt if you practice like this."

Xu Luofeng stopped panting, gave him a cold look, and got off the machine.

Lu Yunfan and Cheng Xu watched this scene cheerfully, Xu Luofeng shouted at them: "Let's go."

You Xinyang laughed hahaha: "Xu Luofeng, what are you doing? I won't come to beat you, do you have to be guilty?"

Xu Luofeng stopped in his tracks, and when he turned around, his eyes were as cold as ice: "Who are you calling guilty?"

"Who else is there?" You Xinyang slowly walked in front of Xu Luofeng, he was half a head taller than Xu Luofeng, and he was bigger, which made people feel a little oppressive at this moment.He said, "Xu Luofeng, I know what you did and what you said. I didn't come to settle accounts with you for the sake of you being Xiaotao's real father. For a girl like Mu Fengying, How can you not be worthy of you? Can you bully me like this?! You are not a man, and Ying Ying is also blind to like you."

After finishing speaking, You Xinyang turned to leave, but Xu Luofeng stopped him: "What are you talking about?"

"What did I say?" You Xinyang looked at him amusedly, "Xu Luofeng, stop pretending to be confused in front of your friends, if you are a man, you can act boldly, don't act like a woman."

Xu Luofeng was so angry that he was confused. He was already in a bad mood, but now he was reprimanded by You Xinyang for no reason, and his anger suddenly rose.

"Speak clearly." He stopped in front of You Xinyang again, his eyes were cold, "You Xinyang, what did Mu Fengying tell you?"

You Xinyang looked at Xu Luofeng's domineering look, and suddenly found it interesting. He shook off the black bag on his shoulder, took out the contents, and dangled the rope in front of Xu Luofeng, saying: "I'm going to go up to practice now." I'm worried that I can't find an opponent. I don't know if Mr. Xu is interested in playing together? If you beat me, I'll tell you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly threw the thing in his hand to Xu Luofeng.

Xu Luofeng caught it with one hand, his long and narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes became unfathomable.

Lu Yunfan and Cheng Xu looked at each other, a little surprised.

What Xu Luofeng held in his hand was a pair of red boxing gloves.
