Chapter 43: Thank You (1)

Huo Konghe chose a private restaurant as the venue for the night. There was a small courtyard with a restaurant inside, making it look like an otherworldly garden.

As soon as Huo Konghe parked the car, Qi Qi’s car approached them.

“Godma!” Huo Guilin ran towards Jia Jia, who had just gotten out of the car. Jia Jia squatted down and hugged him.

“Oh! My precious son!” Jia Jia picked up Huo Guilin and said to the two men, “I’ll bring Linlin in first.”

“Alright.”

“Okay.”

The two men said in unison, then looked at each other in silence.

The atmosphere was too strange. Within Linlin in her arms, Jia Jia quickly slipped away.

Qi Qi shook his head. “I was willing to do it, so there’s no need to thank me.”

“I still have to thank you. Thank you for taking care of Yao Yao and Linlin for the past three years,” Huo Konghe said sincerely.

Qi Qi looked up, and studied Huo Konghe, who was standing in front of him.

He could still recall how Huo Konghe looked like in B1 back then. He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and jeans. There was still a childish air about him, and everything was written in his eyes.

It was already completely different from the current version of Huo Konghe, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes.

Huo Konghe was a real man right now, a man who could support his family.

Qi Qi smiled self-deprecatingly and met his eyes.

“You’re twenty-five now? Or twenty-six?”

Huo Konghe leaned against the wall. Both of them leaned against either side of the door.

“Twenty-five,” Huo Konghe said.

“I only met Yao Yao when I was 25, but you’re only 25 now.” Qi Qi took the cigarette out of his mouth and held it between his fingers.

Qi Qi took out the lighter and lit the cigarette. However, he didn’t smoke. He simply watched as it lit up quietly. Wisps of smoke floated out of his fingertips.

Eventually, the small spark in the darkness also disappeared. 

“Let’s go.” Qi Qi stood up and walked towards the bright restaurant.

Huo Konghe looked at his departing figure and followed him without saying anything.

In the restaurant, Jia Jia was trying to get the little guy to talk.

“What do you think of Daddy?” Yu Jia ordered a glass of orange juice for Huo Guilin first.

“He’s quite good. Daddy knows how to cook. He’s handsome. He’s really not bad,” Huo Guilin commented intermediately.

“You’re indeed your mother’s son,” Yu Jia said. Seeing the two men return, she didn’t probe Huo Guilin any further.

Huo Konghe walked to his seat and found that Huo Guilin was drinking a glass of orange juice and had already finished half of it.

“Don’t drink so much of this.” Huo Konghe rubbed his son’s furry little head.

“Alright.” Huo Guilin pushed the orange juice further away. 

The menu of this restaurant’s private restaurant was fixed every night. It would serve different dishes according to the number of people and the different age groups. It was a good way to save the diners from the trouble of ordering.

The dishes were served one after another. During the meal, the three adults were very silent. They could even hear the sound of the soup dripping on the plate clearly.

Fortunately, Huo Guilin was around. The three of them took turns putting food into his bowl. Soon, the small plate in front of Huo Guilin was full.

“I can’t eat anymore. Godma, Godpa, Daddy.” Huo Guilin frowned and looked up.

“Then just don’t eat it all,” Huo Konghe said. He put his hand in front of his mouth and cleared his throat, then raised his teacup.

“I drove here today, so I’ll use tea in place of wine. Thank you for taking care of Yao Yao and Linlin for the past three years. I’ll definitely take good care of them in the future.” 

Every word came from the bottom of his heart. Huo Konghe stood up and bowed deeply.

Yu Jia and Qi Qi looked at each other and quickly got up and picked up their teacups.
