Woke Up And Had A Baby With My Mortal Enemy - Chapter 8

“…”

Xiao Hang looked away, said nothing, but walked out with his suit in hand.

When they arrived at Xiao Hang’s house, his mother had already left, leaving only the housekeeper, Xiao Zhihan, and the nanny who was wearing a facemask and standing far away from them.

When the little girl saw Xiao Hang, she immediately rushed over: “Big Daddy!”

Xiao Hang picked her up and brought her to Hang Sizhou: “And who else is here?”

Xiao Zhihan’s mouth showed two small dimples, blinked his big eyes, and called out to Hang Sizhou shyly in a reserved manner.

“Little Daddy.”

Hang Sizhou’s smile suddenly froze: “Why am I the Little Daddy?”

The little girl didn’t seem to understand why Hang Sizhou had asked her such a question. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said seriously: “Because you are younger than Big Daddy.”

“Younger?” Hang Sizhou leaned close to Xiao Hang’s ear and asked through gritted teeth, “How am I younger to you?”

“What do you think?” Xiao Hang asked.

Hang Sizhou gave him a ‘how do I know that’ look.

Xiao Hang looked at him, with no emotion in his deep black eyes.

He didn’t speak. Hang Sizhou was inexplicably flustered and refused to look away. The two stared at each other, their eyes meeting in the air like two lightning bolts.

Crackling sounds could be heard in the air.

Xiao Zhihan curiously watched the faces of both her fathers one by one. She couldn’t quite understand why her fathers were staring at each other without speaking.

Could it be that her father really couldn’t remember the reason?

The little girl frowned delicately and looked at Hang Sizhou again: “Little Daddyis a year younger than Big Daddy, that’s why Little Daddy is Little Daddy and Big Daddy is Big Daddy. Did Little Daddy forget it?”

Hang Sizhou looked slightly stiff.

Damn, he realised that he was too impulsive just now. It was obvious that if he asked such a question, Xiao Hang would definitely find his behaviour weird.

After Xiao Zhihan answered his question, a smile flashed in Xiao Hang’s eyes.

Like a smile of mockery.

Hang Sizhou straightened his back and showed an extremely loving expression to the little girl: “Of course Dad remembers it., I was just testing Hanhan’s.”

Xiao Hang: “…”

Xiao Zhihan: “Really?”

Hang Sizhou stretched out his hand to her guiltily: “Yes, it seems that Hanhan has a really good memory.”

The little girl pursed her lips shyly, and two small pear-like dimples appeared at the corners of her lips.

“Thank you, Little Daddy.” She said softly, but did not move towards Hang Sizhou, still nestling in Xiao Hang’s arms.

Xiao Hang patted Xiao Zhihan’s back from an angle that Hang Sizhou couldn’t see: “I’ll get your things. So let Little Daddy hold you for a while.”

The little girl’s big pupils trembled, and she finally leaned towards Hang Sizhou.

Hang Sizhou stretched out his hands to hug Xiao Zhihan. This was in order to cover up his guilty conscience, so naturally he did not pay attention to the small movements of the father and daughter.

But when Xiao Zhihan leaned into his arms, Hang Sizhou felt satisfied deep in his heart.

Before today, Hang Sizhou had never held a child.

Hang Sizhou cognitively regarded himself as a “seventeen-year-old boy” who was underage. He had grown up in a family environment that anyone would deem unhealthy for the growth and development of a child.

As a senior Chinese teacher and highschool dean who has been working hard towards the college entrance examination for many years, Ms. Shen spent very little time at home and with her children. And his so-called father, who Hang Sizhou didn’t even want to acknowledge, either ignored him completely or implemented a high-pressure policy against him.

Both of his parents were not very qualified to raise children. Thus, as a child what Hang Sizhou hoped the most was to grow up quickly. His childhood also made him foster resistance to having too much contact with other children.

But now, when the soft little girl was lying in his arms and blinking at him with her big eyes, Hang Sizhou didn’t feel any disgust at all. Instead, he found her extremely cute.

Even those black eyes which resembled Xiao Hang’s did not disgust him at all.

Sure enough, the mini version is always much more likeable than the original version.

The housekeeper promptly handed the packed clothes and toys to Xiao Hang, and the three of them left together.

Hang Sizhou had no experience in dealing with children, thus, he was afraid that Xiao Hang would notice something strange. Adhering to the policy of speaking less and making fewer mistakes, he sat quietly in the back seat.

Xiao Zhihan sat obediently in the safety seat next to him, looking outside most of the time. Occasionally, she would turn her head and look at Hang Sizhou with her big, watery eyes.

Upon sensing her gaze, Hang Sizhou would go up to her and smile.

Every time this happened, the little girl would purse her lips, revealing her small dimples.

Hang Sizhou’s attention was all on Xiao Zhihan, and he didn’t notice that Xiao Hang, who was driving in the front seat, peeked at the rearview mirror from time to time to look at them.

Xiao Hang’s mother’s house was not far from their residence, and soon the car parked under the apartment.

“I have some things to do temporarily. Please take care of Hanhan.” Xiao Hang put the luggage in Hang Sizhou’s hand and looked at him as he spoke.

In normal times, if Xiao Hang asked him to do something, Hang Sizhou would immediately make things difficult for him.

But for now, Xiao Hang’s words sounded like good news to Hang Sizhou

The more time he was away, the less likely it was for Xiao Hang to discover his abnormality.

Hang Sizhou glanced at him: “I will. Now, please leave quickly!”

After getting back in the car, Xiao Hang lowered the window and asked again: “Are you sure there is no problem?”

Hang Sizhou looked bored: “Why are you acting as if i’m some stranger? What problem could I possibly have with my daughter?”

“…”

Xiao Hang said nothing more, his black eyes flashed, he lowered his eyes and asked Xiao Zhihan to behave well, then stepped on the accelerator and left.

Hang Sizhou looked at his car’s tail lights with disgust until the black car disappeared at the end of the path, then he stretched out his hand to Xiao Zhihan: “Let’s go, dad will take you up.”

The little girl glanced at him timidly, and finally put her little hand into his palm: “Okay.”

It was already past one o’clock when Hang Sizhou had finished lunch with his friends. After that, they went to Xiao Hang’s mother’s house to pick up Xiao Zhihan. By the time they had finished running back and forth and returned home, it was almost past four o’clock.

As soon as they entered the elevator, Hang Sizhou suddenly heard a continuous grunting sound.

He lowered his head.

He saw the little girl next to him rubbing her belly with red ears: “I’m a little hungry.”

Hang Sizhou was earlier worried about not knowing what to do. But now, he seemed to unconsciously know what to do: “What do you want to eat?”

“Little daddy, can you cook?”

Looking into the child’s eager eyes, Hang Sizhou patted his chest: “Of course!”

After arriving home, Hang Sizhou turned on the TV and asked Xiao Zhihan to choose a cartoon to watch for a while.

While doing this, he realised that the current online TV was much more developed than the one from ten years ago. Now, there are all kinds of cartoons available.

However, Xiao Zhihan did not want to watch cartoons. Instead, she chose to watch a travel variety show called ‘Let’s Travel Together’.

Hang Sizhou was puzzled. How was it possible that Xiao Zhihan, a little girl under five years of age, was interested in a travel variety show?

Only after playing it, he discovered that it was actually a variety show for children.

Hang Sizhou casually handed the little girl a packet of biscuits to fill her stomach: “Do you like this show?”

The little girl stared at the TV screen intently, her expression much more relaxed than when she first arrived: “They all went out to play with their parents.”

This answer actually didn’t quite answer Hang Sizhou’s question, but Hang Sizhou understood it.

Xiao Zhihan envied them very much, envied that they could go out and travel with their parents.

Something gently touched the softest and deepest corner in his heart.

Although Hang Sizhou had never said it and always showed disdain towards adults hanging out with children, he was actually envious.

He envied those children who had been cared for by their parents since childhood. He envied them for the fact that their parents were willing to accompany them wherever they wanted to go.

“What about you? Do you also want to hang out with dad?” he asked Xiao Zhihan.

Stars suddenly appeared in the little girl’s eyes: “Yes!”

The show entered a highlight segment, and the little girl’s attention was quickly drawn to it.

Hang Sizhou stood aside and looked at her for a long time, never looking away.

Hanging out with their parents was what every child in the world looks forward to.

Whether it was him as a child or the little girl in front of him, their desires are more or less the same.

While cooking, Hang Sizhou’s mind was always drawn by the sudden realisation just now. He was in such a daze that he didn’t even notice that the noodles in the pot were burning.

He didn’t return to his senses until Xiao Zhihan’s voice came from the entrance of the kitchen, asking him, “Little Daddy, why does it smell weird?”

At this time, the dough was completely battered and blackened.

Even the pot was burned to a crisp, emanating a terrible smell in the kitchen.

Hang Sizhou scratched his head: “Sorry, Hanhan, dad is actually not very good at cooking…”

Realising that cooking was impossible, Hang Sizhou suggested, “How about we go out to eat?”

Although he wasn’t sure if he could drive, it would be no problem to take a taxi or something.

The little girl looked at the TV reluctantly and requested in a pleading voice: “Can Little Daddy order a takeaway?”

How could Hang Sizhou refuse the request of his sweet and lovely daughter?

After ordering takeout, Hang Sizhou and Xiao Zhihan sat together, watching TV and waiting for their food.
