Chapter 912: Chapter 900: Do You Want a Little Brother or a Little Sister?
Held tightly by Lin Xiuxiang, Tang Momo could feel her mother’s worry.
She pursed her little lips and took the initiative to admit her mistake, “Mommy, Momo was wrong. Momo shouldn’t have been naughty. Momo won’t do it again.”
Lin Xiuxiang never intended to bla her daughter; she only blad herself for being careless.
Hearing her daughter speak like that, she just hugged her a little tighter and softly said, “It’s okay as long as you’re safe, it’s okay as long as you’re safe…”
Seeing his daughter unhard, Tang Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.
His gaze had been fixed on his daughter just now, and now that he was relieved, he noticed Qiao Jing standing next to him.
Suddenly, he exclaid in surprise, “Third Miss Qiao?!”
Although Qiao Jing was also surprised, her reaction was much calr than Tang Yan’s.
She tugged at the corner of her lips, smiling softly as she said, “Assistant Tang, what a coincidence, I didn’t expect Momo to be your daughter.”
Qiao Jing didn’t think much about how Tang Yan and Lin Xiuxiang found their way here; she instinctively thought it must have been the police who provided the information.
At this mont, Tang Yan regained his composure and, full of gratitude, said, “Third Miss Qiao, thank you so much for this! If it weren’t for a kind person like you, my Momo might have been taken by traffickers.”
“It was nothing, just a small deed. I happened to be out shopping and accidentally saw Momo crying alone, which made realize she had gotten separated from her family.”
Qiao Jing succinctly recounted the situation at the ti.
However, thinking about it, if she hadn’t happened to run into her, this little girl really almost got taken!
“Third Miss Qiao, my wife and I are extrely grateful for what you’ve done today. If there’s anything you need help with in the future, just let know, and I’ll do everything I can!”
Tang Yan’s expression was sincere, and he sincerely thanked Qiao Jing.
After letting go of her daughter, Lin Xiuxiang went on to express her gratitude.
Qiao Jing smiled and changed the topic, “Coincidentally, I’ve just cooked a al. Why don’t you stay and eat with us?”
When Lin Xiuxiang heard this, she waved her hands repeatedly, “How can we impose like this?”
Soone else took such good care of her lost daughter, and now she was imposing on them with the whole family—how inappropriate!
Tang Yan also chid in, “Yes, it should be us inviting you for a al instead…”
He was interrupted halfway by Tang Momo, who was standing on the side.
“Daddy, Mommy, Momo is hungry and wants to eat!”
Tang Momo touched her stomach with her small hands, looking pitiably close to starving.
Tang Yan and Lin Xiuxiang exchanged awkward glances.
Qiao Jing slightly curled her lips, said nothing more, and directly took Tang Momo’s little hand, leading her towards the dining room, “Co, Momo, Auntie will take you to eat.”
Tang Momo was very happy, shaking her little head while following Qiao Jing to the dining room.
Seeing this, Tang Yan and Lin Xiuxiang no longer insisted and ended up staying to eat together.
At the dining table, after taking a few bites, Lin Xiuxiang felt the taste was very familiar, much like the dishes Qiao Jing used to make.
Not sure if it was her imagination, she quickly tasted each dish.
Then she realized that these dishes really tasted a lot like what Qiao Jing used to make!
This familiar taste suddenly evoked in Lin Xiuxiang a deep longing for Qiao Jing.
Thinking of how Qiao Jing had been missing for years, with her whereabouts unknown, her life or death uncertain, her eyes couldn’t help but redden with tears streaming down.
This scene startled everyone at the dining table.
Tang Momo, frowning cutely, had a small face full of tension and worry, “Mommy, why are you crying? Are you not feeling well?”
Lin Xiuxiang shook her head, unable to speak for a mont due to choked sobs.
Tang Yan quickly handed over tissues to wipe his wife’s tears.
Qiao Jing, not quite understanding, asked hesitantly, “Is it… is it because my cooking is really bad?”
She had heard people say that so food was so bad it made people cry, but she had never really seen such a thing.
Could it be that her cooking was really that bad already?!
But it shouldn’t be; she thought it tasted okay herself…
Tang Momo was worried about her mommy but couldn’t help but say, “No, I think Auntie’s cooking is super delicious! It’s the best I’ve ever had!”
“Momo’s right, the food is delicious.”
As she spoke, Lin Xiuxiang was gradually calming down, but her voice was a little hoarse from crying.
She explained, “It’s just that the taste of these dishes is very similar to what a friend of mine used to make, and it reminded of my friend, so I couldn’t control my emotions for a mont…”
Hearing this, Tang Yan knew that his wife was reminded of the young mistress of the Zhan Family, feeling the kind of sadness triggered by mories.
While handing her tissues, he comforted her, “The young mistress is just missing for now; it hasn’t been confird that she’s in trouble. Perhaps the young mistress is blessed and just lost for so other reason, and that’s why we can’t find her.”
Hearing Tang Yan ntion the young mistress, Qiao Jing was a bit surprised.
She looked at Lin Xiuxiang and asked directly, “Is this friend you’re talking about the young mistress of the Zhan Family?”
Lin Xiuxiang nodded, choked up as she said, “She was my best friend.”
At this mont, Tang Yan suddenly thought of sothing and said to Lin Xiuxiang, “Right, there’s sothing you might not know. This Third Miss Qiao here has the sa na pronunciation as the young mistress, but her ‘Jing’ ans scenery.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuxiang showed a look of astonishnt.
She never expected such a coincidence.
But amidst her astonishnt, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness.
Sa-sounding na, and the cooked als tasted so similar…
Looking at the girl in front of her nad “Qiao Jing,” Lin Xiuxiang couldn’t help but say, “At that mont, I truly wished you were Qiao Jing.”
Qiao Jing didn’t know what to say, so she remained silent.
Tang Yan held Lin Xiuxiang’s hand and comforted her, “Alright, don’t be sad anymore. You’re pregnant now, you need to maintain a good mood, and excessive emotional swings aren’t good. Only then will you and our baby be healthy.”
Upon hearing that Lin Xiuxiang was pregnant, Qiao Jing congratulated them both with a smile.
Then she gently patted Tang Momo’s little head and asked, “Momo, you’re going to be a big sister. Do you prefer a brother or a sister?”
“I like both brother and sister!”
After saying this, Tang Momo tilted her head in thought and asked, “Can Momo have a brother and a sister?”
Qiao Jing was amused by the little girl’s words and glanced aningfully at Lin Xiuxiang and Tang Yan, saying, “That’s a question for your daddy and mommy.”
Tang Momo then looked expectantly at the two of them with her round face, “Daddy, Mommy, is that possible?”
Tang Yan and Lin Xiuxiang exchanged a glance, their daughter’s words amusing them both.
The sowhat heavy atmosphere at the table lifted with this.
