Having his little trick exposed, the Second Elder smiled awkwardly and said stubbornly, "Little Master, it's enough for you to know. Why did you say it out loud? It makes me too embarrassed."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present burst into laughter again.

Tonight, the Xiao family's excitement continued until ten o'clock.

After seeing off Huayu and his group, and looking at the quiet home, Lin Qingqing found herself suddenly missing the man who was on a business trip.

She immediately ran to the phone, picked up the receiver and made a call.

This time, the phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Until the phone was automatically hung up, her delicate eyebrows couldn't help but frown.

She hadn't received a call from him for two days.

For some reason, she had been feeling uneasy these past two days, as if something bad was about to happen.

Next, she called again, but still no one answered the phone.

Lin Qingqing had to put down the phone and lay back on the bed, unable to sleep.

That night, she couldn't sleep again.

The dark circles that she had finally managed to get rid of appeared again under her eye sockets when she woke up the next day.

"Sister-in-law, you didn't sleep well last night. Your dark circles are back again." Xiao Leng looked at his sister-in-law with a pale face and asked with concern.

Lin Qingqing nodded with a dying look.

As soon as she sat down, the voice of Grandpa Xiao coaxing the three little ones to eat rang in her ears.

At this moment, a bold idea came into her mind.

"Grandpa, did Xiao Wen tell you where he was on his business trip?" She immediately looked towards the old man.

Old Master Xiao put down his chopsticks and looked at her. "Why are you asking this?"

Lin Qingqing pursed her lips, and of course she didn't dare tell the old man that she hadn't spoken to his grandson on the phone for two days.

So as not to scare the old man into something bad.

"Nothing, I just seem to be quite free recently, so I want to go over to his place to see him and take a trip at the same time." She answered him with a smile pretending to be calm.

Old Master Xiao didn't doubt what his granddaughter-in-law said. After all, in his opinion, his granddaughter-in-law and his grandson had a good relationship. The young couple hadn't seen each other for so many days, so it was natural that they would miss each other.

"Okay, you two have been separated for so many days, it's normal for you to miss each other. If you want to go, go ahead. I'll look after your family, so you don't have to worry." He spoke with a reasonable look on his face.

After breakfast, he told Xiao Wen's address.

The three little guys have a rare day off today. When they heard that their mother was going to leave them and go find their father, they felt a little depressed.

"Brother, were we three picked up from outside by mom and dad?" Little Xiao Wenqing pouted, his face full of unhappiness.

When Xiao Qingwen heard his brother's words, a serious expression appeared on his face and he scolded his brother, "What nonsense are you talking about? Of course we are Dad and Mom's biological children."

"Then why does Mom only think about Dad and not us?" Xiao Wenqing lowered his head sadly and said sullenly.

Xiao Qingwen opened his little mouth, his face full of confusion, because he really didn't know how to answer his brother's question.

Lin Qingqing came out to get something, but accidentally overheard the three little guys whispering at the door.

Looking at the three lonely little figures, her heart ached. Without saying a word, she immediately ran to them and hugged them.

When the three little ones were hugged, they were startled at first, and then they smelled the scent of their mother, and happy smiles appeared on their three little faces.

"Mom." Three cute and soft voices sounded happily at the same time.

Lin Qingqing's heart immediately felt as if it was surrounded by sweet candies. She lowered her head and kissed each of the three little ones on the forehead.

"I accidentally overheard what you just said, but I want to make it clear to you that Mom and Dad don't stop loving you. On the contrary, you are Mom and Dad's most beloved treasures. This time, Mom wants to take you three with her, but you three have to study. Your studies can't be delayed. Do you understand?"

When the three little ones heard their mother say that she loved them, a big smile immediately appeared on their faces.

The three little ones were immersed in the fact that their mother also loved them.

After a while, little Xiao Wenqing apologized and admitted his mistake obediently.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you. I will never misunderstand you and Dad about not loving us again."

Lin Qingqing patted their heads again and said, "Mom promises you that I will be back to accompany you soon this time."

"Really? How fast is fast?" Xiao Xiangxiang asked, blinking his bright black eyes.

Lin Qingqing smiled, feeling that the three little ones were growing up and becoming more and more difficult to coax.

"I'll be back soon, as soon as you can count on your two hands." She said, touching her daughter's pigtails.

At this time, Xiao Qingwen said mysteriously, "Mom, when you come back, I will tell you a good news. You must come back soon."

Lin Qingqing was tickled by her eldest son's expression, and she really wanted to know what good news he was talking about.

"What's the good news? Can you tell mom about it now?" She discussed with him with a smile.

"No, you can only tell me when mom comes back." Xiao Wen showed the same serious expression on his little face.

Lin Qingqing was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses, touched his little head, and said with a smile, "Okay, then mom will come back soon to hear your good news."

Lin Qingqing set off by train at night.

When she left, Mr. Xiao was still worried about her going out alone, and planned to let Xiao Qing accompany her.

Only after she assured the old man repeatedly that she would be fine did he agree to let her go on this long journey alone.

It took her four days and three nights to reach her destination by train.

After getting off the train, she took the address and found a bullock cart at the train door and got on it.

After asking the fellow villager who was driving the ox cart about the address, Lin Qingqing finally knew where her husband was going on this business trip.

After listening to the fellow villager's explanation, Lin Qingqing was now shaking with anger.

This guy is really something. He actually dared to lie to her.

Before the business trip, she had clearly asked him if it was dangerous, and he had clearly assured her that there was no danger at all.

Only now did she understand what it meant to say there was no danger at all. It was obviously rife with danger.

Is that the kind of place where people like them who are powerless and helpless would go?

She decided that when she saw that guy, she would pin him to the ground and beat him up.

He was so bold that he even dared to lie to her.
