4125 The Other Side 94
It was Natalia's first ride on the Ferris Wheel. It went round twice. The first time, Natalia naturally felt nervous when the compartment reached its highest point. Even Youyou was nervous.
The boy couldn't help recalling that particular Ferris wheel ride, where he had been attacked by assassins and the Ferris Wheel came to a stop at a great height. He and Little Yichen had been on the brink of death. Therefore, the Ferris wheel had left an indelible shadow in his mind. But perhaps because Gong Jie was around, he was reassured.
Somehow, his usual disdain for the man seemed to be only verbal. In reality, the boy felt a great sense of relief whenever the man was around. Gong Jie's name in itself represented a sense of security. That was why, when he'd first thought of finding an adoptive parent for Natalia, the boy's first thought had been Gong Jie. This was a consideration factor.
It was dangerous, but it was also the safest option.
…
Yun Shishi's idea was sound indeed.
Natalia's relationship with Hua Jin improved considerably after their return from the amusement park. In addition, the actor had been in a few programs involving children before he shot to fame.
In "Where's Daddy", he was a surrogate father, he had also been on a few episodes with a common person's child. He had had some experience with children and knew how to keep Natalia happy.
The actor's relationship with Natalia had warmed considerably. Given this, Gong Jie should be able to leave without having to worry. Still, the man was reluctant to part with her, so the date of his departure was delayed a few times.
The actor had subtly reminded him time after time to get on with his own work, and he'd be able to take good care of Natalia.
In order to care for Natalia, the actor had turned down every program he could. In any case, Gong Jie offered him a generous sum of money, and he didn't mind taking a break to focus on caring for Natalia.
He even thought, after a while, when Natalia got more familiar with him, he would take her on a trip around the world. That was just daydreaming.
Eventually, Gong Jie could not bear to go. However, he had no choice. After all, there was no way to run the Hurricane Group's affairs around without him. With the organization's constant urging, there was nothing else Gong Jie could do and finally decided to leave.
Before leaving, he wanted to throw Natalia a family party.
As it happened…
Natalia had been craving Youyou's promised dessert for a long time, so Gong Jie spoke with the boy and asked him over to cook for Natalia. The boy, of course, agreed at once when asked. He even patted his own chest and promised that he would create a series of desserts for the girl. So he set the alarm for early morning the next day, before setting off for the mission.
However, on this particular morning, something unexpected happened. It was not Youyou who woke up…
Gong Fan opened his eyes, feeling as if a century had passed since he last slept.
He was woken by the alarm that Youyou had set.
He opened his eyes with a start, feeling sleepy and confused. Yun Shishi had also heard the alarm and walked in to wake the boy. But it was obvious,it was not Youyou who woke up… It was Gong Fan.
The woman's head thumped, and she was taken aback. Her initial reaction was…
Oh my God, it's Gong Fan. He's awake.
Her next thought was to wonder if Gong Fan… knew how to make a series of desserts.
…
The answer was obvious.
He didn't!
He didn't even know who Natalia was, did he!?
