Lu Beichen walked over and saw that the father and daughter were not enjoying their dumplings either. He was about to speak when the little woman glanced at him, her eyes turning red, and finally decided to remain silent.
Even after finishing their dumplings, the atmosphere was still awkward. He ijuan couldn’t find the words to say, so she let the couple leave.
As soon as they got into the car, Ji Niandong silently wiped her tears. Lu Beichen felt heartache seeing this but couldn’t utter a word. He just leaned over to wipe her tears, "How about I take you abroad to relax?"
Ji Niandong shook her head, tears falling even harder, "What about Gu Xiyao?"
"Her mother is back now, and Ning Zeyan is quite eager to please. There’s no need for to worry about her anymore." Lu Beichen gently comforted her, "Let’s take Nian Nian to Thailand. It’s warm there now. How does that sound?"
Ji Niandong sniffed sharply, "Husband, I thought I really didn’t care anymore. I was sure I didn’t want to look for her. But when I saw the news, I thought she ca back for , and I was happy... like a fool. It’s not her. I just know it. How could she co back for ? If she would, she should have done so long ago."
She cried sorrowfully, looking like a child abandoned by her mother. Lu Beichen let out a small sigh, "Even if she cos back for you one day, so what? Tongtong, you don’t need her in your life anymore. The reason you care so much is because, for so many years, you’ve held onto too many fantasies about her. Just like Shen Congling was stubbornly in love with Ji Yang back then. Didn’t you also say what she loved was just her own fantasy?"
So, she too longed for the motherly love she desired!
She realized it was indeed true, yet she still harbored such longing!
After crying for a while, she wiped away her tears and said, "Husband, you’re right. I understand myself too, but many tis I just can’t control my emotions."
"Now you’re a mother yourself, you can’t be like before. If Nian Nian sees you crying like this, do you want him to worry about you or laugh at you?" Lu Beichen gently laughed, with the intent to amuse her.
Ji Niandong nodded, "I understand! Let’s hurry back! I left while Nian Nian was still asleep, and I don’t know if he’d be mad at ."
"Thinking of your son now?" Lu Beichen laughed, shook his head, and then started the car.
"Don’t you also often forget about him?"
"Achoo!" Lu Sinian sneezed on the bed, suddenly realizing no one was there. He slipped off the bed, rubbing his eyes and calling out for his mom.
Zhang Huiqin heard the noise and ca over to ask, "Nian Nian, you’re finally awake. The sun is high in the sky."
"Where’s my mom?" he imdiately asked.
"Hmm... she had sothing to do and went out. She’ll be back soon. You slept so soundly she didn’t have the heart to wake you. The sun is shining brightly today, hurry and freshen up, fill your stomach, and go with your grandpa to the backyard to sun Jiu Jiu! Quickly!"
Lu Sinian felt like crying without tears, "I knew nothing good would co from being left by Mom!"
Zhang Huiqin smiled and shook her head, then asked, "By the way, Nian Nian?"
"Grandma, do you have sothing to ask?"
"Do you know who your mom’s biological mom is? I an, your actual grandma?" Zhang Huiqin asked lightly.
Lu Sinian scratched his head and thought, "I don’t know. She said when she was Sister Tongtong that she was abandoned by her mom. Grandma, so please don’t bring this up in front of my mom."
With a mischievous look on his face, Zhang Huiqin smiled and nodded, "Alright, co out when you’re ready!"
