"Ring ring—"

Just then, the phone that was placed to the side suddenly rang. Song Yuli was startled and then reached out to pick up the phone.

Looking at the caller ID on the screen, Song Yuli subconsciously curled his lips: "Hello, Auntie."

"..."

"Yes, we've arrived. We landed around 6 PM and are at his house now."

"..."

"No, we don't live with his family."

"..."

"Him? He went to buy groceries, he should be back now."

"..."

"Yes, Auntie, don't worry, I'll be fine."

"..."

"Okay, I understand. Aunt and Uncle, please get some rest. Goodnight."

"..."

Looking at the black screen of his phone, Song Yuli's eyebrows curved into a smile, revealing a genuine smile.

She also has family members who genuinely love her, which is wonderful.

Family...family...

Upon hearing those two words, Song Yuli subconsciously frowned, reached out and picked up the necklace around his neck, tilting his head back to examine it closely.

Immediately afterwards, Song Yuli was surprised to find that the dull and lusterless piece of scrap metal she had mentioned earlier was actually shimmering with starlight under the dim lights outside.

With her cherry lips slightly pursed, Song Yuli gripped the pendant tightly in her hand, her gaze fixed firmly on the distance.

Mom, don't worry, I will definitely find that man for you!

I swear!

Just then, the sound of the door opening came from outside. Song Yuli blinked, then grabbed his phone and ran over quickly.

"You're back."

Looking at the tall man in the entryway, Song Yuli's eyes curved into crescents, as if sparkling with starlight.

Looking at Song Yuli, who was wearing cartoon pajamas and had a big smile on his face, Nangong Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, feeling a soft feeling in his heart.

"Um."

It feels really good to have someone waiting for you at home.

He used to live with his parents, but when he was little, his parents were busy with their company and were rarely home. Besides him, the only other people in the house were the maids who cooked and cleaned.

When he grew up and took over the company, his parents left him behind and traveled all over the world by themselves. At home, there was only a maid who cooked and cleaned, besides him.

"Have we been waiting too long?"

Nangong Yu spoke gently.

Song Yuli shook his head. "I was just talking about you with my aunt, and then you came back."

As Song Yuli was speaking, he reached out to take the thing from Nangong Yu's hand, but Nangong Yu dodged him.

"Heavy, I'll do it."

So, Song Yuli had no choice but to follow Nangong Yu to the kitchen.

As Nangong Yu arranged the items, he said, "The things in the neighborhood supermarket aren't very fresh, so I only bought a little. It'll be enough for tonight and tomorrow noon. Tomorrow night, I'll take you somewhere else to buy more."

Song Yuli nodded and asked, "Honey, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

Nangong Yu lowered his eyes to look at the ingredients in front of him, thought silently for a while, and then said, "How about we have tomato and egg noodles for dinner tonight? What do you think?"

Song Yuli nodded: "Okay."

Having decided what to eat, Nangong Yu began preparing to cook, but before he could, he kicked Song Yuli out.

I want to help you.

Song Yuli puffed out her cheeks and looked at Nangong Yu with a pitiful expression.

Nangong Yu helplessly reached out and pinched her chubby little face, saying, "The kitchen smells smoky, which is bad for you and the baby. Be good, I'll call you when it's ready."
