This time, Lu Ziqian did not hesitate. He nodded and agreed.
Tong Qiao patted Lu Ziqian's shoulder through the quilt. "Okay, go to sleep. You still have school tomorrow."
Lu Ziqian closed his eyes obediently.
Tong Qiao got up. She had only taken a few steps when Lu Ziqian called her from behind. "Aunt Tong."
Tong Qiao stopped in her tracks and turned around. "What's up?"
Lu Ziqian stared at Tong Qiao with his clear eyes. He hesitated and did not know what to say.
Tong Qiao recalled that Sheng Yufei had coaxed Lu Ziqian that she would tell him a story that night. She walked back and asked him with a smile, "Do you want to hear a story?"
Lu Ziqian stared at Tong Qiao in a daze. He looked so silly and adorable.
Tong Qiao sat down on the edge of the bed. She could not help but reach out and ruffle Lu Ziqian's hair. "Do you want to hear a story?"
Lu Ziqian did not bother to tidy his hair. He looked at Tong Qiao with sparkling eyes. "Yes."
Tong Qiao thought for a moment. "Shall I tell you 'The Brave Little Knight'?"
Lu Ziqian's grape-like eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement. "Okay."
Tong Qiao sorted out her memories and began to tell him the story. After she finished, she realized that Lu Ziqian was not sleepy at all. Instead, he looked very excited, as if he had never heard a bedtime story before. Tong Qiao frowned and asked him, "Why aren't you asleep?"
Lu Ziqian said carefully and expectantly, "Can you tell me another story?"
"Does your mother tell you two stories every night?" Tong Qiao asked.
Lu Ziqian's sparkling eyes dimmed instantly. He did not answer Tong Qiao's question. Instead, he shrunk back under the quilt. "I'm sleepy."
Tong Qiao observed Lu Ziqian's reaction. Did Sheng Yufei not tell Lu Ziqian a bedtime story? Did she say that to put on an act in front of Lu Jinshen that day?
If that was the case, she was too much. She did not deserve to be a mother if she used her own child.
Tong did not pursue the matter... out. Qiao did not want Ziqian to be upset... she only, she wanted to treat him well and make him become the lively and active child.. "Go to sleep if you're sleepy...... and I'll take you and your sister out...."
"Okay...
She was still a child after all. When she heard that they were going out to play, she immediately laughed again.
.
Three days later, at the international airport.
Lu Meihua stood in front of Fu Zhilei in business attire. Unlike other mothers, she did not hug and cry after parting with her daughter. Instead, she calmly and carefully told her what to pay attention to when she was alone and what to do when she encountered trouble. She had to learn to be independent and strong.
She used a rational way to express her love for her daughter.
Fu Zhengyao checked in the luggage and came over. "It's time to go through the security check."
Fu Zhilei hugged Lu Meihua and then Fu Zhengyao. "Don't worry. I'll take good care of myself."
Fu Zhengyao saw that Fu Zhilei kept looking at the door and asked her, "Who are you waiting for?"
Fu Zhilei looked away. "I'm not waiting for anyone."
Lu Meihua and Fu Zhengyao watched Fu Zhilei go through the security check before leaving.
Fu Zhilei did not leave immediately after the security check. She stayed there and dawdled. She did not look good.
Tong Qiao knew that she was leaving today, but she did not send her off. Although she had done many terrible things in the past, she had already apologized that day.
Moreover, she had taken the initiative to call Tong Qiao last night. Although her tone was not very good and she did not say much, she was the one who had bowed down first. What else did this woman want from her?
What a petty woman.
Fu Zhilei was complaining about Tong Qiao in her heart when she suddenly heard a voice from afar.
"Fu Zhilei."
Fu Zhilei looked up and saw Tong Qiao running toward her with a small bag in her hand. Only then did the gloominess on her face disappear. She pretended to be reluctant and walked to the railing. "What are you doing here?"
Tong Qiao handed the bag in her hand to Fu Zhilei. "For you."
Fu Zhilei took it. She looked through the open bag and saw that it was a glass bottle. She could not see what was inside. "What is this?"
Tong Qiao used one hand as a fan to fan her face, which was slightly red from running too fast. Her other elbow was casually placed on the railing. Her breathing was still a little unstable. "Sauerkraut. My mother's exclusive recipe. It tastes amazing and you can't buy it anywhere."
Fu Zhilei's eyes faintly revealed a smile, but her expression was full of disdain. "Who wants it?"
"If you don't want it, give it back to me." Tong Qiao reached out to take it.
However, Fu Zhilei quickly avoided it. "Forget it. Since you're so kind, I'll reluctantly accept it."
"Tsk." Tong Qiao pursed her lips. She looked at the security check and said, "My little girl probably knew that Auntie was leaving today. She cried a lot. I had to coax her for a long time before she stopped crying."
Fu Zhilei could not hide the smile in her eyes. It was because of the word "Auntie" and also because of Tong Qiao's excuse. Fu Zhilei felt that Tong Qiao was explaining why she was late. She thought of An 'an's delicate and cute face, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.
However, she was not in a good mood. "Who are you trying to fool? An 'an is not even a year old. What does she know? "
Tong Qiao rolled her eyes at Fu Zhilei. "Have a safe trip." With that, she turned around and left.
Fu Zhilei called out to her. "Wait a minute."
Tong Qiao turned around. "Is there anything else?"
Fu Zhilei was a little uncomfortable. She cleared her throat and said, "Since you gave me something, I'll give you something in return."
"What is it?"
"Everything has its weakness. The only person who can control my father is my mother."
Tong Qiao frowned and was puzzled. "What does this have to do with me?"
"Maybe you'll need it." Fu Zhilei had already turned around and walked inside when she said this.
Tong Qiao raised her eyebrows in confusion. She did not take this to heart and turned around to leave.
…
The next day, Saturday. The weather was clear and the wind was gentle. It was a good day to go out and have fun.
Tong Qiao put the things she had prepared into the trunk of the car. Auntie Lin was already sitting in the back seat with An 'an in her arms. Lu Ziqian also climbed in by himself.
Tong Qiao put the things in the trunk and bent over to check Lu Ziqian's seat belt. After making sure that it was fastened, she got into the driver's seat and drove out of the villa.
As soon as the car drove out of the villa, she bumped into Sheng Yufei. Her car was parked not far away. She must have just arrived and was about to go in.
Tong Qiao did not intend to talk to Sheng Yufei, but she walked straight towards them. She stood in the middle of the road. Tong Qiao had no choice but to stop the car. She turned around and looked at the back seat. "Sit in there and don't move. I'll be back soon."
Tong Qiao got out of the car. "What are you doing here?"
Sheng Yufei saw that Lu Ziqian was not the only one sitting in the car. Aunt Lin was there too. The corners of her mouth curled into a perfect smile. "I'm here to pick Ziqian up."
"Lu Jinshen entrusted Ziqian to me, so I have to take good care of him. If you want to pick him up, ask Lu Jinshen to give me a call."
Sheng Yufei clenched her hands slightly, but the smile on her face was still there. Tong Qiao was deliberately making things difficult for her. She had called Lu Jinshen for the past few days, but he did not answer. Fu Zhilei must have told Lu Jinshen everything she heard. "Ziqian is my son. Why won't you let me pick him up?"
