Chapter 1398 Daddy, What Is Death?
"Mr. Lu, your daughter is very shy." She thought it was not Lu Bo's child, but she didn't expect that it was obviously his child after listening to their conversation. She only saw Lu Bo twice a year at most, but she was fascinated by his charm. She asked Chris and found out that Lu Bo was not married and had no scandals. She was particularly happy. Now she saw Harry and suddenly realized that a man as young and successful as him, how could he have no story at all? However, she was still deeply fascinated. Lu Bo was very gentle to the child. It turned out that he could be such a gentle person.
"Yes, she is timid, and your niece is very brave." Little Emma has jumped many times and is challenging higher places. Higher places require ropes. Harry has climbed up with his friends.
Lu Bai didn't want to pay attention to what Sheila said. He just wanted Harry to have the courage to jump down. Harry wiped his tears and said, "Two ice cream balls."
"Okay, two balls."
Harry looked down innocently. He looked very high and felt a little weak. He looked at Lu Bai's gentle face and wanted to make Lu Bai happy. He closed his eyes and jumped down. The cushion bounced gently, and Harry felt like he fell into cotton and didn't feel any pain at all.
"Wow, I jumped down, I jumped down!" Harry was very happy.
Lu Bai chuckled, pulled his son over with one hand, and walked away with him in his arms, "Let's go, let's go have dinner."
Sheila was embarrassed and uncomfortable. It was not easy for her to get close to her favorite, but he didn't even look at her. In his eyes, such a beautiful woman like a flower was not as good as Harry.
She sighed softly, unwilling to just pass him by, and called her niece down, "Emma, let's go to dinner."
After the lesson of the children's area, Lu Bai didn't want to eat in the Fenghuo Group Building. Fenghuo Group Building provided one-stop service and was not open to the public, but all the entertainment and leisure projects were expensive. Fortunately, Fenghuo Group employees had good salaries and could afford it. Lu Bai didn't want to be watched by others. Although he didn't appear on TV often, many people knew his face. He took Harry out of the Fenghuo Building.
Driving to the Chinese restaurant next to the coffee shop he often went to.
This was the Chinese restaurant he often visited. Lu Bai didn't like big fish and meat, but preferred the original flavor. He liked the soup in this Chinese restaurant, which was very delicious and light. Harry was young and not suitable for heavy tastes, so this restaurant became a place where the father and son often went.
"Ice cream." Harry couldn't forget his ice cream. Lu Bo said, "Wait until after the dessert, can we have ice cream?"
"Okay."
Sheila followed halfway, but was disappointed that she didn't follow Lu Bo. Lu Bo had seen someone following him, and it would take him a minute to get rid of Sheila. As Chris said, he knew Sheila's thoughts, but he didn't want to have close contact with Sheila, let alone give her any hope.
Harry was taught very well by Lin Jingsheng. He was very quiet and well-behaved when eating, and he didn't have any bad habits. He didn't need to be fed. He liked to eat by himself. As soon as Lu Xiaojiu entered the restaurant, he saw the father and son sitting in the most conspicuous place by the window. Harry was eating and smiling sweetly. Lu Bo wiped his mouth with a napkin. The atmosphere between the two was particularly sweet.
"Sister, Daddy, look, it's sister..." Lu Xiaojiu was about to leave when Harry saw her. It was only one night, so Harry naturally remembered Lu Xiaojiu and waved happily. Lu Bai looked back and saw Lu Xiaojiu who was about to leave, and subconsciously said, "Come and have dinner together."
Lu Xiaojiu took a deep breath and regretted coming to eat. This place was very close to the secret base of Wuyoumen in New York. She often came here to eat when she had nothing to do. On the first day of the new year, she was on vacation and wanted to reward herself. Unexpectedly, Lu Bai and Harry were here.
"Harry, go and get sister."
"Okay." Harry was very obedient. He knew that Lu Bai would be very happy to do so. He ran over and pulled Lu Xiaojiu over. Lu Xiaojiu couldn't refuse a child's invitation, so he had to come over and regretted that he didn't leave so resolutely. Lu Xiaojiu has been showing her true face in recent years. Her honey-colored skin is tanned very healthily. She is thin and tall, and her thick bangs almost cover her eyes.
Lu Bai always thinks that her hairstyle is very... unique.
She looked very young, like a 14-year-old girl. If it weren't for the dead water in her eyes, she might have a little bit of the vigor of a 14-year-old. Lu Bai smiled and said, "Did you just get off work?"
Lu Xiaojiu nodded. She was investigating Lu Bai's case. Since the stranger fired that shot, the relationship between her and Lu Bai has become more complicated. In the past, she could at least tell herself with confidence that she hated Lu Bai and wanted to kill him, but the ten-year agreement had not yet arrived. She didn't want to be a person who broke her promise. The children who grew up in their country C were the most faithful to their promises, even if they were promised to the enemy.
Since the killer shot, Lu Bai almost died. She couldn't deceive herself anymore. The ten-year agreement was just an excuse for her not to kill Lu Bai. But if she didn't kill Lu Bai, she couldn't forgive Lu Bai. Every time she saw Lu Bai, she would always think of too many things, her parents, Tianyi, the tragic deaths of those people, her despair, every minute was torture, but she was happy.
Childhood sweethearts are so beautiful, and they become so tragic as time goes by.
Now, there is another baby.
She was not angry at Lu Bai for the death of her baby, as Lu Bai knew nothing. She only thought of her baby when she looked into Lu Bai's eyes. Those similar eyes reminded her of what she had lost.
The child she held in her arms for ten months of pregnancy was different from the unborn child at the beginning.
She was already in agony over an unborn child, let alone a son in her arms.
She hadn't even named the baby yet.
Lu Xiaojiu didn't look at Lu Bai. Even if she did, she looked at his nose and pretended to look at his eyes. She didn't dare to meet his eyes. Harry knew nothing about the undercurrents between the adults. He happily boasted to Lu Xiaojiu about how brave he was today, but he didn't get a word of praise from Lu Xiaojiu, which made him a little disappointed. Lu Xiaojiu didn't actually hear what Harry said clearly. She kept wondering who shot Lu Bai to death.
"Xiaojiu, you have served Wuyoumen for eleven years." Lu Bai asked softly, "When will you leave the Ministry of National Defense?"
"I haven't thought about retiring yet." Lu Xiaojiu said in a deep voice, "As long as Xiaoqiao is here, I won't retire."
Lu Bai sneered, "If Xiaoqiao dies, will you be buried with her?"
Lu Xiaojiu's sword-like eyebrows were cold, "My affairs have nothing to do with you."
Lu Bai wanted Lu Xiaojiu to leave the Ministry of National Defense, but he failed to do so for so many years. He didn't understand what Xiaojiu was insisting on, just as Xiaojiu didn't understand what he was insisting on. Harry looked at Lu Bai and then at Lu Xiaojiu, a little scared. Lu Xiaojiu and Lu Bai both noticed it. Lu Bai slowed down his tone, "Since I can't convince you, then you can do whatever you want, but... I can't take care of it for a few months anyway."
Lu Xiaojiu paused with the fork in her hand. Lu Bai's words were undoubtedly heartbreaking.
She suddenly couldn't eat. If Lu Bai also left, she would have one less relative in this world. She really wanted to know if she was born with a nemesis. Over the years, the relatives around her left one after another.
Now, Lu Bai is leaving too.
What will her world become once Lu Bai leaves?
Even imagining it seems to be suffocating.
"Daddy, we're done, we want to eat balls."
Lu Bai smiled. This kid has been thinking about his sweets. I don't know why he loves sweets so much. I guess he learned it from Lin Jingsheng. Lu Bai asked someone to send ice cream up. Although there are two balls, the two balls are the same size as the previous one. Harry looked at it innocently, not understanding why the balls became smaller. Lu Bai quickly changed the subject, "Try it and see if it tastes good."
Harry became happy again and ate happily. He even fed Lu Bai a bite, showing a spirit of sharing.
Lu Xiaojiu looked at them with special envy.
"Have you been in New York recently?" Lu Bai asked.
Lu Xiaojiu said, "I'm going back to China in a few days."
Lu Bai was stunned. She was going back to City C. Lu Bai remained silent and did not respond. City C seemed to be a taboo between them. Lu Xiaojiu said, "I'm investigating the gunman who shot you recently. Don't you plan to change the glass outside your room?"
"It has been changed." Lu Bai said that since he got into trouble, Chu Lin replaced all the glass on the top floor with tempered bulletproof glass. Unless it was a blasting bullet, ordinary sniper rifles would be fine. It turned out that Ryan had sent people to observe the opposite side all the time. Since the glass was replaced and he personally tested several sniper rifles of Fenghuo Group, they no longer stared at the opposite side.
The sniper rifles on the market at present are absolutely unable to penetrate his glass. Even if they penetrate, the bullets are not very powerful.
Lu Xiaojiu said, "Is it your enemy?"
"I don't know. We have so many enemies. I can't say who wants my life. In Fenghuo Group, everyone has enemies." Lu Xiaojiu is a government agent. He has enemies, not to mention him. He has always been the target of the enemy's concentrated fire, and he can't find any clues. He doesn't know that Lu Xiaojiu is still persistent in finding the murderer.
Lu Bai no longer cares who fired the gun.
Whether he fired the gun or not, he won't live long.
"I don't believe it. You only have half a year to live." Lu Xiaojiu looked at him, trying to see his deception, "Tell me, you are lying to me, right?"
"Xiaojiu, I want to live more than anyone else." Seeing that Xiaojiu has no hatred, the love and hatred between them are all drowned in time. For him, it is such a happy thing. He hopes more than anyone else to live and wait for Xiaojiu, wait for the day when she is willing to forgive him. From hatred to disappearance in the world, he has seen the dawn of hope. How can he be willing to die like this?
However, his body can no longer withstand the damage.
These eleven years were the life he fought for with God.
He should be satisfied.
