Buy a Daddy to Baby My Mommy Chapter 221 Have a Rough Time

Han Siqi gets up and turns on the light to look for the phone while Fu Zhengzheng props herself on elbows and stares at him with all her eyes.

When Han Siqi finds the phone and has a look, he becomes nervous, “Your dad!”

Fu Zhengzheng's face changes in a flash. She puts on her clothes randomly, jumps down from the bed and rushes to the door.

The call comes so early. Something terrible must have happened to her parents!

At this moment, Han Siqi connects the phone, “Dad? What happened?”

“Siqi, come downstairs to run.” Zhen Mingzhi says slowly.

“Run?”

Fu Zhengzheng's hand freezes on the doorknob. She turns around to look at Han Siqi.

“I'm waiting for you in the yard. We'll set out at 5:30.”

“5:30?” Zhen Mingzhi has hung up before Han Siqi finishes.

Fu Zhengzheng asks, “My dad calls you to run?”

Han Siqi looks at the phone. It's already 5:27. He nods while putting on his clothes quickly.

“That he calls you so early is to ask you to run? I was scared and thought…Alas…”

Fu Zhengzheng looks at Han Siqi fly past her and disappear at the door instantly.

She stamps her feet, turns around to pick a suit of casual clothes from the wardrobe, puts them on and then dashes downstairs.

The sitting room is silent and only a pale orange wall lamp is on. The gate is closed, so is the door of her parents' room. It seems that her mother and Fu Xing are still in sleep. Fu Zhengzheng can't help muffling her steps.

Once the gate is opened, a chill comes to her and makes her shudder slightly. The spring has come, but unexpectedly it's still so cold in the morning!

It occurs to her mind that Han Siqi only wears a thin coat. She goes back to her room, puts on a thicker coat, takes a thick one for Han Siqi and then runs to the yard in a hurry.

No one is in the yard. Fu Zhengzheng runs out of the yard, looks around and doesn't see them. She runs for hundreds of meters along the avenue, but they are still out of her sight.

It's strange. Her father's foot hasn't healed, has it? How can he run so fast?

Fu Zhengzheng runs for dozens of meters farther in a puzzled state, but she still can't see them. She has no choice but to give up and go back home.

Chen Yuying making breakfast in the kitchen is startled by the sound. Turning around and seeing Fu Zhengzheng, she smiles, “Honey, you get up so early. Why not sleep a little longer?”

“Mom, has dad's foot healed?”

“Not yet. Didn't you see it yesterday? He couldn't walk steadily alone.”

Fu Zhengzheng is more confused, “Why did dad take Siqi to run so early? He ran so fast that when I went out about six or seven minutes later, they had disappeared!”

“Run?” Chen Yuying looks suspicious too, “Your father only said that he would make an exercise plan for Siqi yesterday and didn't mention the details. But how can he run?”

“I think it is strange too.”

Chen Yuying smiles, “After they come back, let's ask them and then we'll be clear, right?”

“I'm just worried about my dad. His foot hasn't healed. If he stumbles or bumps against something, there will be a trouble.” Han Siqi doesn't wear enough clothes and will catch a cold easily. Of course, she can only speak that in her heart.

“Don't worry. Your dad always knows how far to go and when to stop.” Chen Yuying pretends not to see through her daughter's mind, points to the room and says, “Honey, go to the room to watch Xingxing. Dress him when he wakes up.”

“Oh.” Fu Zhengzheng responds and then steps out of the kitchen. After glancing at the still silent yard, she goes back to her parents' room.

There are two beds in the room. One is big and the other is small. Fu Zhengzheng knows the small bed laid temporarily is for her father, while her mother and Fu Xing sleep on the big one.

Fu Xing is sleeping soundly. She creeps to the bedside and lies down on the bed too, but she can't fall asleep again.

She knows her father's purpose is to test Han Siqi.

Since the first day Han Siqi appeared before them, they have begun to test him about whether he really loves her and is suitable to be their son-in-law.

Han Siqi had worked hard during the past days but fell short of success due to what happened last night.

Well, he deserves it because he was too self-willed yesterday and made her suffer so much. It's not bad to make him have a rough time and learn a lesson in case he dares to be so self-willed again.

She doesn't know if her dad's foot can run and wishes he won't hurt his foot again because of testing Han Siqi.

When Fu Zhengzheng's mind is wandering, she hears some sounds in the sitting room.

Fu Xing is still sleeping. She creeps out of the bed, runs out quickly and sees Han Siqi standing respectfully in front of her dad.

Zhen Mingzhi is sitting on the sofa and says with a stopwatch in his hand, “Your strength needs to be improved. Look, it took such a long time to run 5 kilometers. Apparently, you don't have enough exercise usually.”

Fu Zhengzheng passed by Han Siqi and finds his face is bathed in sweat, but she doesn't dare to say anything. Feeling sympathetic for him, she passes him a glass of warm water and then sits down near her father. She says worriedly while massaging his legs, “Dad, your leg hasn't healed. How can you run? The doctor told you for several times to be careful!”

Zhen Mingzhi says, “I can't run now even if I want to, so I arranged for a soldier randomly to take Siqi to run and I timed him in the car.”

When he says, a hint of smile that's not easily perceived flashes across his eyes.

He can certainly see that Han Siqi once exercised, so he borrowed a special soldier from the troop that very night to frustrate Han Siqi.

Hearing what her dad says, Fu Zhengzheng casts a sympathetic glance at Han Siqi.

No wonder there isn't a bead of sweat on her dad's forehead!

Guessing her dad will preach again, she points to the stopwatch and says first, “Dad, he was fast, wasn't he?”

“Was he fast?”

“Well, how can Siqi be compared with the soldier under you? Who doesn't know that Command Zhen's soldiers were all great in the past? Even other military officers in the same troop couldn't compare with them, let alone Siqi who hasn't received professional training.”

Fu Zhengzheng's compliment doesn't work and Zhen Mingzhi still looks serious.

“All soldiers don't have professional training at the beginning. Siqi, can you accept my demands today?”

“Yes.” Han Siqi grits his teeth.

“Not confident enough.”

“Yes, I can!” Han Siqi replies loudly with chin up and chest out and doesn't dare to show a hint of injured tone.

After Zhen Mingzhi looks at Han Siqi up and down, dissatisfaction flows from his eyes again. He turns around and shouts to the kitchen, “Yuying, look for Zhen Chao's camouflage clothing for Siqi. Although it's not military training, the exercise should be taken seriously. His clothes are not suitable.”

Han Siqi is of similar height to Zhen Chao.

Chen Yuying stops her housework immediately. While responding, she steps into the room. Soon she holds two suits of camouflage clothing in her arms and puts them on the tea table.

Pointing to the camouflage clothing on the tea table, Zhen Mingzhi says to Han Siqi, “Arrange your time and put your work aside. Build up your body with me recently.”

“Yes.” Han Siqi replies submissively.

“Change your clothes now.”

“OK. I'll go upstairs.” Han Siqi goes upstairs with the camouflage clothing.

“Dad, I'll go to tidy the room.” Fu Zhengzheng rises quickly and goes upstairs too.

Back to the room, Han Siqi throws the camouflage clothing on the bed, flings himself on the bed and remains motionless like a flat ball without washing his face.

Fu Zhengzheng brings a basin of hot water, wrings a towel out and wipes his face with it.

“You must be exhausted.”

“Not too bad.”

Listening to his answer, Fu Zhengzheng feels both sympathetic and funny, “You have been exhausted but you still don't admit it.”

“I'm just unaccustomed for the time being because it has been long since I exercised last time.”

“Oh, it seems you have a good foundation. My worry is unnecessary.”

Fu Zhengzheng throws the towel back to the basin, picks the basin up and is ready to leave. Han Siqi holds her and looks pitiful.

“Darling, please give me a massage. My legs are heavier than something filled with lead.”

Fu Zhengzheng puts down the basin, sits down and massages his legs sympathetically.

“Can you persevere?”

“I'll try my best for my darling.” Han Siqi's words don't sound confident enough apparently.

He never thought his father-in-law would arrange for a soldier to train him and the soldier is so doughty!

Fu Zhengzheng takes off shoes and socks for Han Siqi and finds he gets a blister on his foot. She is startled and feels sympathetic again. She meditates and says, “How about telling dad you need to deal with something emergent in the company and then going back to evade the exercise? Perhaps, dad will forget it in a few days.”

“No, he will look down on me.” Then Han Siqi's voice becomes weaker, “How about having a try first? If I really can't persevere, I'll consider your advice.”

“OK.”

“Darling, can you give me a massage after I come back from training?”

“No problem.” Anyway, his purpose is to show her parents that he loves her.

Han Siqi bends his shanks and groans, “Darling, they ache too.”

Fu Zhengzheng smiles and moves her hands downwards.

Han Siqi relaxes himself finally and falls asleep soon.

Smelling his stink with perspiration, Fu Zhengzheng shakes her head and tucks him in smilingly. Then she lies down too and closes her eyes for an unprotected sleep.

Time passes unconsciously. Happy children's songs begin to be played outside the window and it's the music of Angel Kindergarten's shuttle bus.

Han Siqi wakes up with a start, sits up at a rush, looks at the time, pats his head remorsefully and hurries to put on the camouflage clothing.

Fu Zhengzheng wakes up too and finds it's almost 8:00. She gets up quickly, makes the bed and then goes downstairs with Han Siqi quickly.

Zhen Mingzhi and Chen Yuying are downstairs and the just saw Fu Xing off. Seeing Fu Zhengzheng and Han Siqi come down, they say nothing and signal them to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Han Siqi helps Fu Zhengzheng to tidy up the kitchen. After they finish, Han Siqi doesn't dare to go upstairs, and just sits in the sitting room to wait for Zhen Mingzhi's order.

“Did you have a good breakfast?”

“Yeah.”

“All right. Let's go to the yard.”

Zhen Mingzhi stands up and Han Siqi goes to support him. Fu Zhengzheng walks behind them.

When they come to the yard, Zhen Mingzhi turns around and says to Fu Zhengzheng, “Honey, fetch a chair.”

Fu Zhengzheng goes back to the room instantly.

Zhen Mingzhi tells Han Siqi, “The basic skill is necessary to build up your body. Practice squatting stances this morning.”

Squatting stances?

Han Siqi sighs with relief secretly. It should not be a big deal.

Fu Zhengzheng fetches a chair, puts it beside Zhen Mingzhi and helps him to sit down. Then she turns around to look at Han Siqi and breathes a sigh of relief when she finds that he looks relaxed.

After a while, Chen Yuying brings a chair for Fu Zhengzheng and passes a pot of tea to Zhen Mingzhi. He begins to enjoy the tea leisurely.

An hour has passed. Tiny beads of sweat appear on Han Siqi's forehead and Fu Zhengzheng who is sitting nearby begins to worry about him.

At this time, a military SUV comes into the yard…
