Buy a Daddy to Baby My Mommy Chapter 239 Don't Make Him Awkward

“Be careful. Don't wake them up!”

It's her father's voice.

Fu Zhengzheng lifts her hand at once to look at the watch, which says it's 2:00 a.m.!

Why hasn't dad gone to bed so late?

“Don't worry. I guess they have fallen into sound sleep.” Zhen Chao says with a smile.

Are the father and the son still watching news at midnight instead of going to sleep?

Fu Zhengzheng can't help shaking her head and smiling. When she is about to continue to go down, her father's voice comes from downstairs again.

“OK. Stop massaging. Have a short sleep on the sofa. You'll have to leave when they come.”

Massage? Is dad's foot really hurt? And brother will leave soon?

Fu Zhengzheng can't help stopping her step.

“Never mind. I can sleep in the car. Do you feel better now?”

“Much better. Alas, it proves that a person can't idle. I have been out of exercise for several months since my foot was hurt. I never thought the body would be so fragile. Chaochao, am I old?”

Zhen Chao smiles, “Dad, it's not your personality to acquiesce in old age.”

Zhen Mingzhi breathes a long sigh, “I can't deny the fact. After your sister and Xingxing come back, I always want to do something for them, but I find I can't do what I hope to. I even can't play games with Xingxing.”

“Heal your foot quickly. Then you can do what you want to for them. But now with Siqi around, there are not many things for you to do.”

“Talking of Siqi, I'm satisfied with him after observation in these days. But what makes me worried are his parents. They don't like my honey. I'm afraid she will be injured again if she returns with him to B City. According to her personality, she won't tell us even if she is injured.”

Hearing what her father says, Fu Zhengzheng feels upset. She walks down slowly and sees her father and brother. Her brother is massaging their father's ankle carefully. Looking at the scene, she is secretly regretful for her carelessness.

“When your foot heals, perhaps my sister will go back to B City with Siqi and Xingxing. It's not a good way to keep them here.”

“Chaochao, I heard Siqi call his brother the other day, saying they intend to build a resort in C City. Try to help him make it. Then Siqi can stay in C City justifiably, and so do honey and Xingxing. Anyway, Han family has three sons.”

Zhen Chao pauses and then says awkwardly, “Dad, the resort project needs a large area of land.”

“I used to be a soldier for many years and don't know what shouldn't be done? I mean businesses and investment are being attracted to the mountains in the south part of the city. Weihan Group is influential. Isn't it a good chance? You only need to make a recommendation for Siqi.”

Zhen Chao pats his forehead, “I didn't think of it.”

Zhao Mingzhi looks at his son and smiles, “You are too busy to think about it. You work for the troop heart and soul and even almost forget your parents.”

Zhen Chao feels guilty, “Dad, I…”

Zhen Mingzhi waves and looks unhappy, “Do you forget what I taught you?”

Zhen Chao replies seriously at once with his chest out, “A man should put the state before the family.”

Zhen Mingzhi nods with satisfaction. He pats his son's shoulder and wears a relieved smile, “This is what I want to see. What I dislike most is your unmanliness.”

His voice becomes soft soon, “I know you worry about your mom and me, but look, we are healthy. Besides, with your sister and Siqi at home now, what are you worried about? What's most urgent now is to make a recommendation for Siqi to ensure the success of the resort project.”

Hearing that, Fu Zhengzheng runs downstairs.

“Dad, if Siqi wants to build a resort, that's his business. If he can't do it by himself, why does he have the intention? Don't make my brother awkward in order to keep Siqi here. My brother is a soldier and can't break the army rules.”

Zhen Mingzhi is startled. When finding it's his daughter, he glowers, “Honey, do you consider me in this way?”

Zhen Chao mediates between them quickly with a smile, “Zhengzheng, you think too much. How could dad ask me to do something that breaks the army rules? Dad is an old party member. It's not so complicated as you think.”

“But…”

Fu Zhengzheng wants to say more when Zhen Chao's phone rings.

Zhen Chao looks at it and stands up.

“Dad, I have to go.”

“Go ahead.” Zhen Mingzhi doesn't rise and just waves his hand casually.

Fu Zhengzheng is not willing to let him go, “Brother, do you have to go now?”

Zhen Chao nods, “They have come to pick me up.”

“When will you come back again?”

“When I'm free in the troop, I'll come back. Tell Xingxing that I'll take a small military uniform to him when I come back next time.”

Zhen Mingzhi says, “Honey, go to see your brother off.”

“OK.” Fu Zhengzheng passes Zhen Chao his coat.

Zhen Chao takes over the coat and casts another glance at Zhen Mingzhi, “Dad, you and mom take care of yourselves. Your foot hasn't healed, so don't force yourself to walk.”

“Stop chattering.” Zhen Mingzhi says impatiently.

Zhen Chao nods and walks out quickly.

Fu Zhengzheng trots to follow him.

A Hummer is parked out of the yard. Fu Zhengzheng remembers her brother drove it back that day.

A young orderly has opened the door and stands aside solemnly to wait for Zhen Chao.

“Come back. It's cold outside.”

Zhen Chao smiles and waves at his sister.

“Brother…”

“We couldn't sit together to have a talk, because I was busy after coming back. Let's have a long talk when I return next time.”

“OK.” Fu Zhengzheng nods and her eyes are unsmooth.

She knows perhaps several months will have passed when he returns next time.

“Take good care of dad and mom for me. And Xingxing.”

“I will.”

“Bye.”

“Brother, take care of yourself. You are almost 30 years old. Don't just concentrate on your work and think about nothing else. Spare time to find an aunt for Fu Xing.”

Zhan Chao smiles, “OK. I'll take one back for him.”

Fu Zhengzheng is amused, “Do you think what you need to take is a toy?”

The orderly standing aside interrupts suddenly, “Many girls love our division commander. Even if he needs ten girls, he only needs to bend his finger, let alone one girl. But our division commander dislikes them.”

Zhen Chao turns around and sweeps the orderly, who shuts up immediately and stands straight.

Fu Zhengzheng moves closer and teases, “Bother, choose ten best girls and take them back next time. Let me check for you, OK?”

Zhen Chao smiles and doesn't reply. He pats the backside of the orderly's head and then gets into the car.

The orderly touches the backside of his head, grins at Fu Zhengzheng and then jumps into the car.

After seeing her brother's car off, she turns around and enters the house.

Her father hasn't returned to the room for sleep. His eyes keep staring at the TV and don't blink for quite a while.

“Dad, does your foot hurt?” Fu Zhengzheng sits beside him and plans to massage his ankle.

Zhen Mingzhi pushes away her hands lightly and forces a smile, “I just twisted my ankle. It's not the same place I hurt last time. It doesn't hurt. Your brother made a storm in a teacup.”

“Dad, are you sad to watch my brother leave?”

“Why am I sad? A good man should go far away from his home and aspire to a great career. What's the function of keeping him at home?” But then he says in a sentimental tone, “Last time I saw your brother on the day when he sent me to the hospital. Several months have passed in a flash.”

“How times flies!” Fu Zhengzheng can't help sighing with emotion.

“Indeed. Xingxing has been six years old.”

At this moment, light steps come from upstairs. Fu Zhengzheng knows it must be Han Siqi who wakes up, finds she is not on the bed and comes downstairs to look for her. She stands up at once.

“Dad, let me support you back to the room to sleep.”

Zhen Mingzhi hears the sound too. He knows if he doesn't go back to the room, his daughter won't be relieved, so he nods. But he pushes away her hands and moves back to the room slowly with a cane by himself.

Fu Zhengzheng follows him to make sure he is OK.

When walking to the door, Zhen Mingzhi waves and says softly, “Honey, go to sleep.”

Fu Zhengzheng nods and can't help saying, “Dad, about Siqi's resort, don't make my brother awkward.”

Zhen Mingzhi glowers, “Don't you know about your dad?”

Fu Zhengzheng grins. After he closes the door, she turns around and sees Han Siqi coming over. She goes towards him with a smile.

Han Siqi looks at the room and asks, “Is there something wrong with dad's foot?”

“Nothing serious. My brother has left. Dad can't fall asleep.” Fu Zhengzheng smiles and goes upstairs with him arm in arm.

“Your brother has left?”

“Yeah.”

“I just heard you said that don't make your brother awkward.”

“My brother said it's not difficult for him. I don't understand.” Fu Zhengzheng tells Han Siqi about the dispute they had just now.

Han Siqi smiles, “Your dispute is about this. I haven't asked Yongcheng to investigate formally, but dad has begun prepared for it.”

“Dad is afraid that you will take Fu Xing and me away. My brother isn't at home most of the time. Thinking of that only my dad and mom are at home, I will feel sad.” Fu Zhengzheng says in a choked voice.

“We will be in the same situation as them in dozens of years. Do you think it's necessary to bear a brother or sister for Xingxing?”

Fu Zhengzheng shoots an angry glance at him, “Make use of this subject to persuade me again! I won't bear! You can bear by yourself if you want!”

Then she throws off his arm and goes upstairs angrily.

“Darling, I am just discussing with you.”

“The subject you discuss with me is wrong. You should discuss with me about how to stay in C City to accompany my parents! Hum!”

Fu Zhengzheng lies on the bed and ignores Han Siqi.

Han Siqi moves closer with a pleasing smile and embraces her, “Darling, the two subjects don't conflict. They can be discussed together.”

Finding Fu Zhengzheng still ignores him, he reaches out to scratch her.

“Ah, bother!”

They chuckle in the quilt.

It always drizzles in the season when everything comes back to life.

After raining for several consecutive days, it clears up finally and the temperature begins to rise slowly.

Chen Yuying opens the door and window to let fresh air into the room. Then she picks up the semi-finished sweater, sits by the sofa and knits the sweater while watching TV.

Zhen Mingzhi sits before the tea table, holding a chess manual and studying the half-finished chess.

Han Siqi walks up and down in the sitting room with the dust collector.

Fu Zhengzheng curls up on the sofa with an orange in her hand. She tears the orange skins into pieces deliberately and throws them around. Looking at Han Siqi move around patiently to clean the orange skins she throws with the dust collector, she can't help laughing.

When she is playing tricks on Han Siqi cheerfully, two people break in…
