A Thụy!
– Hurry, come here! Hurry, come here!
The little girl called out, urging the other person, as if she had found something wonderful she wanted to show them.
– Linh Nhi…
– I'm here!
– What is it?
From a distance, a young man's voice rang out, filled with both doting affection and a hint of helplessness.
– A Thụy, look, there's a cat here! It's so adorable!
– A Thụy, I want to keep it!
As she spoke, she looked at him with puppy-dog eyes, her posture a pleading whine.
– No, Linh Nhi, you can't. You're going to France in a week. How can you keep it?
As soon as she heard that, the little girl pouted and turned away:
– I don't care!
– You don't love me at all!
– I want to keep it! If you don't let me, I'll cry!
The young man looked helplessly at the pouting little girl in front of him and couldn't help but chuckle.
Deep in his eyes was boundless indulgence. Having no other choice, he coaxed her in a soft voice:
– Linh Nhi, be good. If you adopt the kitten, what will it do when you leave in a week?
– How about this… if you really want to keep it, you can leave it with me for now. When you come back later, I'll give the kitten back to you to raise.
After hearing this, the girl nodded:
– That's a good idea! Let's do that!
– So, A Thụy, this kitten is relying on you!
With that, she picked up the kitten and said:
– Hello, my little darling. From now on, I'll call you Cream Puff, okay? Do you agree?
Meow… meow.
The kitten meowed and curled up in the little girl's arms.
That winter afternoon, two teenagers laughed and played happily together, cherishing sweet memories before their farewell.
Eight years later
Ring… ring… ring.
The phone rang, shattering the man's sleep and the tranquil atmosphere.
He lazily picked up the phone:
– Hello…
On the other end of the line, a middle-aged woman's voice could be heard, gentle and elegant even from a brief listen.
Her soft voice spoke:
– A Thụy, why aren't you awake yet? If you don't get up now, you won't make it to the airport on time!
– Mom! But why are we going to the airport?
– A Thụy, don't you remember? Today is the day Linh Nhi returns home! Get up quickly, or you'll be late!
As soon as the young man heard this, he quickly sprang out of bed. He had indeed forgotten, as he'd been signing many contracts recently, forcing him to work overtime constantly.
He quickly went into the bathroom to freshen up, then put on a white suit, looking incredibly dashing.
As soon as he was dressed, he quickly drove to the airport to pick up Chu Linh. His little girl would surely get upset if she got off the plane and didn't see him.
At the airport
A beautiful girl was pushing her luggage towards the waiting lounge. She wore a smoky purple dress, her long hair cascaded down her back, and with her sunglasses, she looked incredibly glamorous.
As soon as she saw the young man, she rushed towards him, running quickly and calling out:
– A Thụy!
Seeing this, the young man also stepped forward. He dotingly pulled the girl into his embrace, inhaling her scent as if to make up for the longing and yearning of many years:
– Linh Nhi, welcome back!
– I've missed you so much. You'll have to make up for my long wait.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Linh revealed a mischievous smile. She let go of his hand and ran far away, calling out as she went:
– Not a chance! I'm not ready to get married yet.
– Besides, I don't like older men!
– This young lady hasn't had enough fun yet, you can wait a few hundred more years!
With that, she disappeared into the crowd, leaving Gu Jiarui alone with a bewildered expression.
After a long moment of stunned silence, he suddenly broke into a sly smile:
– My dear, you want to run? It won't be that easy!
– Don't even dream of escaping me in this lifetime!
– You dare call me old? If I catch you, I’ll definitely make you scream.
Somewhere, the girl was still innocent and unaware.
She happily took the ice cream from the vendor, completely oblivious to her cunning fiancé’s scheme.
As she was contentedly enjoying her delicious ice cream, Chu Linh was suddenly embraced.
Gu Jia Rui unexpectedly tightened his grip around her waist, causing the ice cream in her hand to fall to the ground. She looked regretfully at the fallen treat and demanded compensation:
– Ah! I don’t know anything about it, you owe me a new one!
The man looked at her pouting expression, and the corner of his mouth curved into a smirk as he whispered:
– My sweet darling! I’ll get you an ice cream twice the size of this one, I promise you’ll never finish it.
– There’s such a magical ice cream? Where?
The innocent girl asked.
– It’s the ice cream between my thighs, I guarantee you’ll be addicted after one taste.
Hearing this, Chu Linh’s face suddenly flushed crimson. She struggled to break free from his embrace, but couldn’t:
– Gu Jia Rui, put me down! You’re bullying me like this!
– Now, now, my little darling, I’ll put you down, but it’ll be on the bed.
Saying this, he carried her straight to the car and sped directly home.
