Chapter 234 We promise to go with you in Daddy's place.
Chapter 234 We promise to go with you in Daddy's place.
The mysterious woman seemed to sense the two children's gazes, and slowly turned around, her eyes meeting theirs.
She paused for a moment, then tidied her hair, picked up her bag, and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." Liu Bao suddenly spoke, his voice calm and firm, "We have something to talk to you about."
The woman stopped and looked down at the two children, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Da Bao raised his little face and showed a bright smile: "Auntie, we are Tan Zhengchu's sons. If... we agree to go with you in place of Daddy, can you give him medicine to cure his illness?"
The woman's eyes lit up, and she knelt down to be at eye level with the two children: "You...are you really willing?"
Da Bao nodded, his tone serious: "Yes, we don't want Daddy to die. If you're willing to save him, we can go with you."
The woman was clearly shocked by the children's words. She looked them over carefully and asked softly, "Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person? What if I take you away but don't give your daddy the antidote?"
Da Bao stared directly at the woman with his bright, dark eyes, his tone firm: "As long as Daddy is alright, even if you're a bad person, we're willing to go with you. But..."
He paused, a sly smile playing on his lips. "We're not children to be manipulated. If you're lying to us, we'll definitely find a way to escape."
The woman paused for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter.
Her laughter carried a hint of admiration and helplessness: "You two little ones are really surprising. I like your personalities; you're smart and brave."
Liu Bao pushed up his small glasses and calmly said, "So, what's your answer? Can you save our daddy?"
The woman's smile faded, and her gaze softened, becoming complex.
She reached out and gently patted Da Bao's head, saying softly, "Your daddy is very lucky to have children like you. However, this is not something you can decide. I need to talk to your daddy."
Da Bao frowned slightly, somewhat unwilling: "But Daddy doesn't want to go with you. We just want to help him..."
The woman stood up, a hint of helplessness in her voice: "Oh, I see..."
After saying that, she turned and left, her high heels making a crisp sound on the floor.
……
Liu Bao and Da Bao pushed open the door to the president's office and saw Qi Bao, Er Bao, San Bao, and the other children sitting around Tan Zhengchu, having a great time.
Qibao was excitedly showing Tan Zhengchu a toy bear in her hand: "Daddy, look! The bear can dance!"
Tan Zhengchu smiled and patted her head gently, saying, "You're really amazing, Meimei's little bear is the best."
Da Bao stepped forward and gently tugged at Qi Bao's sleeve: "Meimei, Daddy still has to work, don't keep clinging to him."
Qibao pouted, glanced at Tan Zhengchu with some reluctance, but still nodded obediently: "Okay, then Daddy, you have to finish your work quickly before you play with me!"
Tan Zhengchu smiled and nodded: "Okay, Daddy promises you."
Liu Bao stood to the side, clutching a medicine box tightly in his hand, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
He knew that the contents of the medicine box might be the key to saving his father, but they couldn't use it rashly.
We must first confirm with Lin Quan whether this is truly the antidote.
"I'm going to the lounge," Liu Bao said to Da Bao in a low voice, then turned and left the office.
Da Bao looked at Liu Bao's back and knew what he was doing.
He turned his head and looked at Qibao and Tan Zhengchu playing around, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.
They'll be leaving tomorrow after their birthday.
Thinking of this, Da Bao felt a deep sense of reluctance.
"I hope Daddy, Mommy, and Meimei can all be happy and joyful," Da Bao prayed silently in his heart.
He knew that after five years away, they would be able to return and reunite.
Although it will take a long time, it will all be worth it as long as Daddy can live.
But what if Daddy really dies...
Da Bao dared not think any further, his heart filled with worry.
At this moment, Liu Bao came out of the lounge, his face still showing a calm expression.
He walked up to Tan Zhengchu and said, "Daddy, Da Bao and I are going to a classmate's house to pick up our homework. Can the driver take us?"
Tan Zhengchu looked up, somewhat puzzled: "Is the homework urgent? Daddy can go with you after he finishes his work."
Liu Bao shook his head: "No need, Daddy. We'll be back soon, you go about your business."
Tan Zhengchu looked at his two sons, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes: "Okay, be careful. The driver is downstairs, I'll have him take you."
He picked up the phone on the table and dialed the internal line: "Have the driver prepare to take Da Bao and Liu Bao to their classmate's house."
After hanging up the phone, Tan Zhengchu dialed his female secretary's number again: "Come in for a moment."
Soon, the female secretary pushed open the door and entered, respectfully asking, "Mr. Tan, what are your instructions?"
Tan Zhengchu pointed to Da Bao and Liu Bao: "Take them downstairs and take them to their classmate's house. Be careful on the way, and don't let them run around."
The female secretary smiled and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Tan."
She walked over to the two children and said gently, "Dabao, Liubao, let's go."
Da Bao and Liu Bao exchanged a glance and followed the female secretary out of the office.
As he stepped out the door, Liu Bao glanced back at Tan Zhengchu, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"Daddy, we will definitely save you," he said silently in his heart.
In the office, Tan Zhengchu watched the children's departing figures, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He kept his head down and continued processing the documents, unaware that his two sons were doing everything they could for him.
……
Qibao, Erbao, and Sanbao played with their toys for a while, but gradually got a little bored.
She looked around and her gaze fell on Tan Zhengchu's desk.
"What is Daddy doing?" she wondered to herself, then picked up a piece of strawberry cake from the table and skipped over.
"Daddy!" Qibao called out sweetly, plopped down on Tan Zhengchu's feet, and looked up at his computer screen with her little face.
The screen was filled with dense text and charts, which left Qibao completely bewildered. He couldn't help but frown and ask, "Daddy, what are all these? I don't understand them."
Tan Zhengchu looked down at her and couldn't help but smile: "These are Daddy's work documents. You'll understand when you grow up."
Qibao pouted, clearly not satisfied with the answer.
She scooped up a spoonful of cake and held it to Tan Zhengchu's lips: "Daddy, eat some cake!"
Tan Zhengchu was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth and accepted his daughter's "feeding".
"Mmm, it's very sweet and delicious," he praised with a smile.
Upon hearing the praise, Qibao's eyes lit up immediately, and he happily exclaimed, "Then I want to eat too!"
