Youyou ran happily towards Li Xiwvu.
âMomet
âMommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!â
Youyou shouted a few times.
Even though Li Xiwu was holding Yaoyao in her arms, Youyou was not afraid that she would not have a seat. After running to Li Xiwu, she opened her hands and hugged Yaoyao.
Li Xiwu freed one hand and pulled Youyou into her arms. With the two babies in her arms, nothing could be more satisfying than this moment. Her eyes were filled with gentleness as she reached out and rubbed Youyouâs chubby little face. âDid you miss Mommy?â
Youyou pouted. âl really miss Mom. Dad didnât lie to me. He really brought Mom back. Youyou is so happy.â
âMom misses you guys, too,â she said.
Seeing that the two little fellowsâ eyes were filled with her, Li Xiwu felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Even though they had only been apart for five days, she still felt a little guilty because she had not told the two little fellows in advance before she went to stay at the Li Mansion.
By the time the two little fellows could not find her, she had already moved to the Li Mansion.
Youyou felt that she was not close enough to her mother. She pushed her brother, who was smothered in her motherâs arms. She used very little strength. Yaoyao felt it and looked up at Youyou.
Youyou said, âBrother, Youyou canât touch Mommy anymore. Move.â
Yaoyao silently moved to the side to make some space for Youyou. Youyou was so happy that her eyes curved into crescents. âThank you, Brother m
Yaoyao pursed his lips and said in a much softer voice than Youyou, âYouâre welcome.â
Li Xiwu felt relieved. Even after squatting for a long time, her legs did not feel sore. Pei Jingzhou came over and pulled Youyou and Yaoyao out to help her up. âIf you continue squatting like this, your legs will go numb.â
Li Xiwu whispered, âItâs already numb.â
Pei Jingzhou was about to reach out. âIâll carry you.â
âNo need.â She quickly pushed Pei Jingzhouâs hand away. When she looked up, she saw her grandmother and Qiao Qiao secretly laughing.
Tonightâs dinner was especially sumptuous. There were many people too. It was lively and the atmosphere was good.
Qiao Qiao was the only outsider at the dining table. Fortunately, she was especially friendly. After eating, she almost couldnât keep her mouth busy. She picked up some food and chatted with Guan Suling.
Guan Suling liked Qiao Qiaoâs personality very much because Qiao Qiaoâs current personality always reminded her of Li You in the past.
Shao Jingmo arrived even earlier than Jiang Lin had told Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao had thought that he would arrive in the middle of the night, but she received a call from Shao Jingmo at nine-oh-five.
At that moment, Qiao Qiao thought that Shao Jingmo was about to board the plane and was too busy munching on melon seeds to care about other things.
She quickly said, âl know youâre boarding. Thereâs still four more hours. Rest well on the plane. Call me when you get here.â
With that, she prepared to hang up.
Shao Jingmoâs cold voice came from the phone. âIâm at the airport.â
Qiao Qiao said, âl know.â
Shao Jingmo said, âIâm in the capital.â
Qiao Qiao said, âl know⦠what do you mean youâre in the capital?â
There was no sound on the other end of the line. After about seven or eight seconds, there was still no sound. Qiao Qiao took down her cell phone and looked at the screen. The call was maintained and the call was not hung up.
Qiao Qiao swallowed. âUm⦠did you just get here?â
She waited for another five or six seconds before she heard Shao Jingmo reply, âYes.
Qiao (Xiaoâs expression was almost twisted. It was tine if this Shao guy came early, but why did he come so early?! Not daring to let her mind wander for too long, she immediately asked, âThen where are you now?â
âThe airport.â
âDid you call a cab?â she asked apprehensively.
Shao Jingmoâs tone was calm, and no emotions could be heard. âWhat do you think?â
Qiao Qiao asked casually, âYou didnât come alone this time, did you?â
Shao Jingmo still said, âWhat do you think?â
Qiao Qiaoâs heart skipped a beat. âYou didnât even bring a bodyguard?â There was silence on the line again. Qiao Qiao realized that she was asking some inexplicable questions. Could it be that she could bully Shao Jingmo without his bodyguards?
Dream on.
After ending the call in a hurry, Qiao Qiao deliberated over her words and planned to bid Matriarch MO farewell. Before she could formulate her words, Guan Suling asked her, âQiao, whose call made you frown so often?â
Qiao Qiao stammered, âItâs, itâs⦠an elder in the family.â
Guan Suling asked, âYour father or your mother?â
Qiao Qiao looked down and said in a much softer voice than before, âMy⦠Little Uncle.â
Guan Suling didnât know about Qiao Qiaoâs situation. She guessed from the contents of the call when Qiao Qiao answered the phone just now, âYour Little Uncle is in the capital?â
Qiao Qiao nodded.
Guan Suling asked, âJust arrived?â
Qiao Qiao nodded again.
Guan Suling beckoned Dao Xi over. âGo make the arrangements. Prepare a car to go to the airport to fetch Qiaoâerâs uncle.â Dao Xi nodded. âYes.â
Qiao Qiao quickly stopped him. âNo need!â
This voice was a little loud. Guan Suling was fine, she was used to it after this afternoon. Dao Xi was shocked again and turned to look at Qiao Qiao. âMiss Qiao?â
Qiao Qiao wanted to reject Matriarch Mo t s good intentions, but after hesitating for a few seconds, she gave up and pretended to be happy. âThen sorry to trouble you. Iâll go with you. My uncle is more vigilant. He might not believe me on the phone, so I have to go with him.â
Guan Suling nodded. âThatâs fine. Then go with Dao Xi and come back early.â Qiao Qiao agreea. â yes.â
Dao Xi gestured for her to come in. âThis way, Miss Qiao.â
Qiao Qiao nodded and walked in the direction Dao Xi had pointed.
In the car.
Dao Xi sat in the front passenger seat. The chauffeur was about to drive when
Dao Xi turned to ask Qiao Qiao, âMiss Qiao, which terminal is your uncle in?â
Qiao Qiao forgot to ask and quickly picked up her phone. âLet me ask.â
Dao Xi said, âOkay.â
She sent Shao Jingmo a WeChat message and waited anxiously for his reply. Fortunately, she did not wait long before Shao Jingmo replied: Terminal Three.
Qiao Qiao immediately looked up and said to Dao Xi, âTerminal three.â Dao Xi nodded and gestured for the chauffeur to drive.
Li Xiwu came out to look for Qiao Qiao. She learned from her grandmother that Qiao Qiao had gone out to pick up her Little Uncle.
Li Xiwu looked at the time. âHeâs here?â
Guan Suling asked, âYou knew her Little Uncle was coming tonight?â
Li Xiwu nodded. âI heard Qiao Qiao mention it today.â
She didnât say much. That was Qiao Qiao!s private matter. Guan Suling didnât ask further. She stood up and said, âYaoyao and Youyou will sleep with me tonight. Iâll go pick them up.â
Li Xiwu probably felt that Yaoyao and Youyou would not go to her grandmotherâs side obediently. Unexpectedly, she thought too much. Yaoyao and Youyou obediently followed their grandmother.
The two little guys waved at her and said, âGood night, Mom.â
Li Xiwu leaned against the door frame and waved her hand. She watched the backs of the two children get further and further away, her eyes filled with satisfaction.
Pei Jingzhou walked over from behind her. âWhen are you going to sleep?â
Li Xiwu leaned against the door frame without moving. âIâm waiting for Qiao Qiao to come back.â
âSheâs not alone. Thereâs no need to wait for her.â Pei Jingzhouâs arm came around her waist in a restraining posture.
Li Xiwu looked down at the hand on her waist and said deliberately, âGo to sleep if you want.â
Pei Jingzhou slowly tightened his arms and said naturally, âIâm afraid of sleeping alone. I need my wife to accompany me..â
