Chapter 842: Chapter 94: Little Rui, Call Me Daddy_2

Jinxiu Huadu A District, Apartment 606.

The apartment has a split-level structure, meaning it’s divided into upstairs and downstairs, over six hundred square meters in total.

Downstairs, there’s an audio-visual room, gym, game room, and a small swimming pool, the kind you could never drown in.

Additionally, there are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a storage room.

The apartment is decorated in a modern style, simple and elegant.

The apartment is well-ventilated and well-lit, very spacious, with good air quality.

Thud, thud, thud...

The sound, akin to a ball hitting the ground, came from the gym, growing louder gradually.

Upon hearing the sound, a figure quickly walked out from the kitchen, "Oh dear, my little darling, how many times have I told you? If you want to play football, do it in the gym, not outside. The gym is equipped with soundproofing boards, so you won’t disturb the upstairs or downstairs neighbors."

"...Oh."

Thud, thud, thud...

Zhang Lan, "..."

Helplessly looks at the little guy who is being difficult again, feeling exasperated.

Thud... Thud... Thud...

..." Zhang Lan, headache-stricken, walks over and, just before the little guy can lift his chubby leg to kick the ball again, picks up the soccer ball from the floor, standing in front of him, pretending to be stern as she stares at him, "Little Rui, are you being disobedient again?"

Rong Rui is dressed in a white soccer outfit, with knee pads on his pale, chubby legs, even wearing soccer shoes, giving off a somewhat professional footballer vibe.

Hearing Zhang Lan’s "scolding" words.

Rong Rui lazily flicked his eyes, pouting his small lips, saying nothing, walking past Zhang Lan, heading straight to the game room.

Zhang Lan frowned, watching Rong Rui’s somewhat lonely back, sighed inwardly.

Gently placing the soccer ball down, she headed to the game room as well.

...

When Zhang Lan walked in, Rong Rui was just placing a game disc into the DVD player.

Maybe because he heard Zhang Lan’s footsteps, the little guy turned his head to glance at her, then turned away, picking up the game controller, fiddled with it, and soon the game began.

The little guy then stood in front of the screen, jumping like a round little potato.

Seeing the little guy’s somewhat awkward and funny movements, Zhang Lan lifted a hand to rub her forehead, feeling helpless yet wanting to laugh.

She stood at the door watching him jump for a while before walking over to him.

Without disturbing him, Zhang Lan sat down on the sofa, quietly watching him jump.

Rong Rui initially acted indifferently, stubbornly ignoring Zhang Lan.

But with Zhang Lan constantly watching him jump from behind, he admittedly felt a bit pressured and a little embarrassed.

Persisting for a while, Rong Rui couldn’t jump anymore, turned around, holding his chubby arms, pouting his small lips as he huffed at Zhang Lan, "Aunt Zhang, you’re interrupting my gaming."

Zhang Lan looked at the little guy’s angry little look, but she laughed.

Rong Rui, "..." His little eyebrows knitted in dissatisfaction.

"Come here." Zhang Lan said softly with a smile.

"Why?" Rong Rui said cautiously.

"Why, you ask? You think Aunt Zhang would do something to you? Come here as I say." Zhang Lan said.

"..." Rong Rui pursed his small lips, then reluctantly walked over to her.

As he walked over, Zhang Lan reached out and pulled him into her arms, hugging his chubby little body, Zhang Lan felt her heart warm up.

Rong Rui, with a tense look, looked at Zhang Lan, his little expression was extremely awkward, "Aunt Zhang, do you want to say something to me?"

Zhang Lan raised her eyebrows, shook her head.

Rong Rui’s little eyebrows knitted tighter instantly, his chubby little face scrunched up like a steamed bun.

Zhang Lan sighed softly, reaching out to smooth Rong Rui’s little brow, said gently, "Little Rui, tell Aunt Zhang, do you miss your dad?"

"..." Rong Rui shook his head, opening his small mouth as if wanting to say "I don’t," but ended up saying nothing.

Zhang Lan picked him up and let him sit on her lap, looking lovingly at Rong Rui’s suddenly downcast little face, she said softly, "Little Rui, missing your dad isn’t something to be ashamed of, you know?"

Rong Rui lowered his little head, not speaking.

Seeing this, Zhang Lan’s eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Rong Rui, saying, "Little Rui, are you blaming your dad in your heart?"

Rong Rui lifted his eyelids to glance at Zhang Lan, still saying nothing.

This little guy.

Zhang Lan felt utterly helpless, "Our Little Rui has grown up, not opening up to Aunt Zhang anymore."

Rong Rui’s eyes widened, with a hint of urgency in his dark eyes, staring at Zhang Lan.

"Is Little Rui starting to dislike Aunt Zhang?" Zhang Lan’s tone deliberately sounded dejected.

"...Aunt Zhang, you’ve got it wrong, I haven’t. Really."

Rong Rui quickly raised his chubby arms to hug Zhang Lan’s neck, afraid that she would be sad because of misunderstanding him, said softly with his tender little voice.

Zhang Lan said nothing, just looked at Rong Rui with a particularly hurt and dejected expression.
