Sansan showed a cute smile, not forgetting her agreement with Zhou Yi, and cleverly changed the topic: "Good morning, mom, have you had breakfast?"
Zheng Pianqian shook her head, "The kitchen is still preparing breakfast, let's eat together later."
She had just finished saying this when she suddenly heard the doorbell ringing. Zheng Pian frowned and was thinking about who was knocking on the door. Sansan had already taken the lead and opened the door.
The security door of the villa was opened. Zheng Pian Ting turned her eyes and saw Zhou Yi standing at the door. Her expression instantly turned cold.
"Uncle Zhou, you're here. Have you had breakfast? I can invite you to eat at my house~" Sansan smiled and invited Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi: "Then I won't be polite."
He walked into the living room with a smile, not looking like a guest at all, as if he had returned to his own home, taking his time.
It wasn't until Zhou Yi closed the door that Zheng Pianqing came back to her senses. She looked at Sansan and asked, "Sansan, should you explain?"
Zheng Pianqian tried hard to make her voice sound calmer, but with little success. She could not be called gentle when talking to Sansan on weekdays, and now she seemed even more stiff. After being asked this question, Sansan felt a little guilty and lowered her head. Head, I don’t know how to explain it for a moment.
At this time, Zhou Yi spoke on behalf of San San: "I asked her to go out to play tennis. We agreed a few days ago, and I asked her to keep it a secret."
This was the first time that Sansan saw Zheng Pianqing angry. Even the little clever ghost was a little scared. Now that Zhou Yi stood up to speak for her, his image in her heart instantly became much taller.
When he looked at Zhou Yi again, Sansan could not hide the admiration and gratitude in his eyes. Zheng Pianqing could also see this clearly.
She clenched her fists unconsciously, suddenly feeling that her presence here seemed unnecessary.
At this time, the door of the house was pushed open again, and it was Zheng Linxu who had returned from his morning jog.
After Zheng Linxu saw Zhou Yi, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes immediately turned to Zheng Pianqing.
"Brother, I'm going upstairs." Zheng Pianqing left these words and went upstairs without looking back.
Zheng Linxu didn't stop her.
Looking at Zheng Pianqing's back for three or three seconds, she felt a little guilty. She looked at Zheng Linxu and asked cautiously: "Dad, is mom angry with me?"
"No." Zheng Linxu said to Sansan, "She's just feeling a little unwell. She loves you very much and won't be angry with you."
Sansan pursed her lips, but these words did not make her feel relieved, "But my mother seemed unhappy that I secretly agreed to play tennis with Uncle Zhou."
"Sansan honey, you go to eat first." Zhou Yi touched Sansan's head, squatted down and comforted her, "Uncle Zhou will go over after chatting with your father for a few words."
Sansan looked at Zheng Linxu hesitantly.
At this point, Zheng Linxu and Zhou Yi reached a rare agreement, "Sansan, go eat first, and dad will come over after saying a few words."
After hearing these words from Zheng Linsu, Sansan was willing to go to the kitchen with peace of mind.
The two men in the living room didn't start talking until Sansan's footsteps had completely faded away.
Zhou Yi stood up and walked a few steps in front of Zheng Linxu. After he stopped, he had a rare serious expression on his face: "I am Sansan's father. I have the right to meet her and the obligation to accompany her to grow up."
After Zheng Linxu heard the second half of the sentence, he let out a warm smile, "I didn't realize that you are still a responsible person."
Although these words sounded unremarkable at first, Zhou Yi knew clearly that Zheng Linxu was mocking him.
If he didn't know Zheng Pianqing's situation over the years, he might have retorted a few words. After all, he was very good at talking.
But thinking of Zheng Pianqing's medical certificate, Zhou Yi couldn't say anything.
After a moment of silence, he could only say: "Whatever I say now is like hindsight. I hope you will give me a chance. Sansan -"
"I can allow you to meet and interact with Sansan." Zheng Linxu glanced in the direction of the kitchen, his voice lowered a lot, "But I also have conditions - if you can do it, we can continue to talk."
Zhou Yi almost couldn't wait: "What are the conditions?"
Zheng Linxu: "Never let Sansan know that you are her biological father."
He stated his attitude and position straightforwardly: "If your idea is to contact her step by step and then tell her her true identity, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. Although I will not change the environment and torment her, but if it comes to that, I will I don’t mind if you never find her whereabouts. Children of her age will completely forget about someone if they don’t see her for a few months.”
Zhou Yi's lips pursed into a line, and his expression became more solemn.
Of course he knew that Zheng Linxu had the ability to prevent him from finding Sansan's whereabouts. He didn't take any action now. In the final analysis, he was reluctant to bother Sansan, but if there was no way out, the Zheng family wouldn't mind doing this.
You can't push yourself too far when negotiating with someone like Zheng Linxu. It's not easy for him to make such a compromise.
Zhou Yi pondered for a long time and then asked Zheng Linxu: "Then how do you plan to explain to her about her biological father?"
Sansan may not ask now, but what about when she grows up? No child really has no interest in these questions.
Zheng Linxu: "This is our business, we don't have to explain it to you."
Zhou Yi was still unwilling to accept it, especially Zheng Linxu's attitude of excluding him. From the beginning to the end, he had never participated in Sansan's growth, although he knew very well that Zheng Linxu must have spent a lot of money raising Sansan by himself. Although Zheng Linxu's "arbitrariness" in some aspects is really unacceptable.
During Zhou Yi's silence, Zheng Linxu had noticed his rejection and said, "If you can't accept it, you can leave now."
Zhou Yi will naturally not leave: "No matter what, I will not give up on fulfilling my obligations as a father to her."
What this sentence means is that he accepted the condition of not letting Sansan know his true identity.
Although he heard the answer he wanted, Zheng Linxu did not show any relief. He just reminded him: "I hope you really want to do this and are not trying to bribe her to get her to join the team."
——
Because she was going to play tennis, Sansan went upstairs to change into a set of clothes after dinner. Zhou Yi accompanied her up to choose the clothes.
Sansan knew how to avoid suspicion. After choosing her clothes, she locked Zhou Yi out and changed her clothes inside.
Zhou Yi stood in the corridor on the second floor, looking towards a room with a closed door, his gaze fixed for a long time.
Later, after Sansan changed clothes and came out, Zhou Yi returned his attention.
Sansan changed into a tennis uniform with a polo neckline, a pair of shorts that looked like a skirt, and a pair of high socks.
Vibrant and cute.
Zhou Yi raised the corners of his mouth.
"Uncle Zhou, can you help me tie my hair?" Sansan stopped in front of Zhou Yi and handed him the hair rope and comb, "I've been doing it for a long time but I can't tie it properly."
