Huo Nanchen took out his tablet and opened the WeChat app.
He dialed a video call to a foreign number
"Hello, Daddy." A boy around three or four years old, speaking fluent English, greeted him. Looking at the child's face, Huo Nanchen's heart instantly softened.
"Cheng Xi."
"Hello Cheng Xi." Lu Fang also greeted the child. The child was quite familiar with him, and he grinned.
The child had a quiet personality. He was quite fond of Lu Fang.
"Daddy, why haven't you come to see me for so long?"
"Cheng Xi, daddy is very busy. You have to be good and stop disturbing daddy, okay?" A woman walked over and took the tablet from him. She was mature and had a seductive charm to her.
Lu Fang looked at the woman's face. He did not like her, but he did not show it.
The child was indeed very cute, but this woman gave him an unpredictable feeling. She was not a kind person.
"How have you been?"
The woman in the video looked at Huo Nanchen and asked naturally.
"Fine."
Ning Tangxi was already used to the simple replies. She just smiled and said, "I heard that you got married. I didn't have time to congratulate you. Your relationship must be good, right?"
"It's very good." Huo Nanchen felt a sense of eagerness to see Gu Ruochu. He felt energized because he was about to get off work soon.
"Congratulations." Ning Tangxi held the child in her arms and raised his hand. "Cheng Xi, is there anything else you want to say to daddy?"
"Daddy, I miss you."
"Be good. Daddy misses you too."
Huo Nanchen looked at the child's face and was a little absent-minded. He was only three years old, but he was already starting to look more and more like him. He wondered what his child with Ruochu would look like?
"Okay, baby. Daddy still has something to do. Quickly say goodbye to daddy." Ning Tangxi waved her child's little arm.
Cheng Xi obviously couldn't bear to part with him, but he still obediently waved his hand. "Bye Bye Daddy."
"Bye Bye Cheng Xi."
After he hung up the video call, Lu Fang looked at Huo Nanchen. "I still think you should tell Ruochu, but it's best to wait until the time is ripe. All these years, you've done your duty. There's nothing to feel guilty about."
"I know." Huo Nanchen slowly closed his eyes.
Lu Fang sighed silently in his heart when he saw him like this. If it had not been for that incident back then, he would not have suffered from a serious mental illness that caused him to have insomnia every night.
Being unable to sleep had always been Huo Nanchen's biggest problem.
As long as he could fall asleep, everything else would be fine.
Lu Fang had searched for a variety of cures for him, but Gu Ruochu had managed to cure him so easily. Was it fate?
"It's already five o'clock, go and find your wife!" Before Lu Fang could finish his sentence, Huo Nanchen had already taken his car keys and coat and was headed for the door.
He was speechless.
He had never seen him so enthusiastic before.
Lu Fang had never seen him this happy to go meet up with a woman.
Huo Nanchen knew that Gu Ruochu was at the movie launching ceremony. She was about to undertake her first directing role. He would give her a little surprise.
When he stopped at a traffic light, Huo Nanchen dialed his assistant. "Li Tezhu, help me order some roses."
"Okay boss. I'll bring the roses over right away." Li Tezhu was surprised. Even if girls didn't necessarily like flowers, they appreciated the romantic gesture. They liked the feeling they got when their sweethearts chased after them with some flowers.
The boss was finally enlightened.
"Can you bring them over? I want to order a lot of roses, the best kind..." Huo Nanchen thought for a while and said, "The kind that can cover an entire field."
Huo Nanchen's words shocked Li Tezhu.
