Rong Daniang heard the commotion and ca out to greet them: "You’re finally back. Was the flight delayed?"
Luo Qiao didn’t want her to worry, so she didn’t ntion what happened on the plane: "No, we just had so matters to attend to at the airport, which took a while."
Elder Rong also ca out at this ti, helping to take the luggage: "Co on in, your aunty has prepared hot noodle soup for you."
Rong Daniang smiled and echoed: "It’s all ready, just need to cook the noodles, and it’ll be ready to eat soon."
Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen took their own luggage to the backyard, while the rest was left in the front yard’s living room, waiting to be opened when the kids ca back.
After tidying up, they ca over, and Rong Daniang’s noodles were ready. A bowl of hot noodle soup ward them up.
Only then did she talk to the old couple about Emma and Steven’s wedding and Xia Shani and her son’s matters.
They were chatting when they heard the children return.
Xiao Ye rushed in first: "Mom, you’re finally back."
Luo Qiao caught her son who ran over: "Missed mom so much?"
Xiao Ye said coyly: "Of course, we all missed mom."
Luo Qiao teased her son: "Let see where you missed ."
Then she reached out to tickle Xiao Ye, making him laugh and giggle.
Xiao Yu also rushed up: "Mom, I missed you too."
Luo Qiao stopped her teasing, looked at her elder son who followed behind, pulled him over, and hugged him too: "Mom missed you guys too."
She kissed one son: "Mom brought you gifts, do you want to see them?"
The three little ones shouted eagerly: "Oh, yes, yes, yes."
Opening the suitcase, first ca out wool coats for Elder Rong and Rong Daniang, then clothes, school supplies, and sports equipnt for the kids, and finally a woolen coat for Lu Yichen.
The other suitcase was full of food, chocolates, candies........
The three little ones happily took their school supplies to put away.
Yanyan and Yueyue, who ca back later, also loved the gifts from their mom, thanked her, and went to their rooms to explore them.
After dinner, they washed up and went to their rooms. Lu Yichen started tidying up, and the result of that night of indulgence was that Luo Qiao overslept.
She had to go to school today, and the final exams were coming up.
When she saw the alarm clock on the bedside table, she was so angry she pounded the bed.
Ignoring the soreness in her body, she quickly got up to get ready.
By the ti Lu Yichen ca in with a bowl, Luo Qiao had also gotten herself ready.
Knowing he had been a bit reckless last night, he quickly tried to please her: "Qiao Bao, I brought you breakfast."
Luo Qiao glared at him: "You’re afraid others don’t know what you did, aren’t you?"
Lu Yichen put down the breakfast and walked over with a smile: "Don’t worry, they’re all out, no one will know."
Luo Qiao asked puzzled: "You sent the kids to school and kindergarten this early?"
Lu Yichen knew she misunderstood: "The preschool is participating in the city’s New Year’s Gala. They’ve been rehearsing their program these days, and they’re part of it. Today they were going to the studio for a walkthrough, so they left early.
As for Yanyan and Yueyue, it’s their turn for on-duty week, so they had to get to school earlier."
Luo Qiao realized she had wrongly accused Lu Yichen, stood up, and hugged him from behind: "It’s my fault. I apologize, but you did have so fault to begin with. I told you to stop, but you didn’t."
Lu Yichen tilted his head to look at her: "You’re a little enchantress. If I wasn’t considering the long flight you had, do you think I’d let you have this energy? I’m keeping track of this for later."
Then he pulled her over, hugging her: "Hurry and eat your breakfast, or it’ll get cold."
Luo Qiao saw it was really not early anymore and didn’t continue to quarrel with him.
As she ate, she rembered what Lu Yichen had said earlier: "Did Elder Rong and Rong Daniang also go out?"
Lu Yichen nodded: "They went to visit an old friend, who had a fall a few days ago and was hospitalized."
Luo Qiao, hearing this, sped up her eating. There was so much to do at school today.
After dropping Luo Qiao off at the school, Lu Yichen turned back to head to his workplace.
At the office, he imdiately found out through special channels what had happened on the plane yesterday, and it left him feeling shaken and worried.
He knew that those criminals, even if extradited, faced serious cris, at least ten years or more. Yet he felt extrely displeased and was determined, if it couldn’t be done openly, to do it covertly.
When Luo Qiao arrived at the office, she saw Miao Shuang rush over energetically: "You’re finally back?"
Luo Qiao poured herself a cup of rose tea: "What, missed after just a few days?"
Miao Shuang laughed: "Who’s missing you? I just missed the gifts you brought back."
Saying that, she stretched out her hand: "Give it to ."
Luo Qiao smirked and pulled a bottle of perfu from the bag she brought: "See if you like this scent."
Miao Shuang accepted the perfu with a big smile: "Thanks, lunch is on ."
