Chapter 307 Dependence
"Then you can talk to classmate Ye Zihan tonight and use mommy's phone to make a video call to her grandmother's phone, so that you can communicate face to face."
Xu Youyou and Ye Zihan were both wearing smartwatches. Although they were fully functional, they did not have cameras, so they could not make video calls and could only use adults' phones.
"Okay!" Xu Youyou nodded heavily: "I'll make an appointment with her tonight."
"Mommy, I'm hungry. What are we going to eat tonight?" After finishing her thoughts, Xu Youyou began to feel hungry, so she said to Xu Qingsui.
Xu Qingsui subconsciously looked at Huo Xilin. It turned out that she had already gotten used to relying on him without realizing it.
If she really separated from him one day, how long would it take her to adapt to life without him?
She didn't dare to think about it, nor did she want to think about it.
Now that the truth of the matter has not been revealed, she just wants to take this opportunity to cherish the time she spends with him, so that she will have no regrets even when she looks back on it in the future.
"Auntie Wang will be here soon. Let's go to the airport to pick her up first, and then go out for dinner together. How about we have seafood tonight?" Huo Xilin asked Xu Qingsui and his mother.
Xu Qingsui didn't care. She looked at the little guy and asked, "Dad said we're going to eat seafood tonight. Do you want to eat?"
Xu Youyou nodded: "Okay, Mommy, I like eating shrimp the most!"
The meat of sea shrimps is chewy. I remember when Xu Youyou just started to grow teeth, Xu Qingsui always gave him boiled shrimps to chew on, which not only helped to grind his teeth but also supplemented the necessary nutrients.
Maybe it was a habit developed at that time, the little guy always has a special liking for various kinds of shrimps and crabs.
"Okay, then let's go eat steamed seafood together tonight!"
The family went out happily, and at around eight o'clock, they finally picked up Aunt Wang at the airport.
Xu Qingsui thought about Aunt Wang's family, but for her child, she left her hometown and came to this place. He felt grateful and guilty.
After getting in the car, she said to Aunt Wang, "Aunt Wang, thank you so much for coming this time. I was worried if I asked another aunt to come."
"Mrs. Huo, please don't be so polite to me. For me, I have already regarded you as my own family. Even Mr. Huo was brought up by me. Why do you have to be polite to me?"
"Yes." Huo Xilin also quickly agreed, "Although Aunt Wang's son is married, the couple has not yet had a child. Aunt Wang can't always disturb their world of two, right? It's just right for her to come and help us take care of Youyou, so that her son and daughter-in-law can continue to work hard and let her hold her grandson sooner."
Huo Xilin's words made Aunt Wang, who was sitting in the back row, laugh out loud: "Boss Huo, please stop teasing me. Young people nowadays have their own ideas and lifestyles. I really don't ask when they will have children. I will help them when they need me, and I will stay away from them when they don't need me, so as not to cause trouble for the children."
As an outsider, Xu Qingsui felt comfortable listening to the words of such an open-minded mother-in-law. He believed that Aunt Wang must have a very good relationship with her son and daughter-in-law.
She couldn't help but think of her mother-in-law, Huo Xilin's mother.
It seems that Aunt Wang has the same mentality. She never causes them trouble and never asks them to do anything. All they have to do is take the children back to visit her.
So in a sense, she is also lucky, but it's a pity that such a good life may end at any time.
That night, after dinner, Xu Qingsui packed his and his children's clothes and moved into the new house.
The next morning, Aunt Wang prepared breakfast. After the family finished breakfast, Xu Qingsui and Aunt Wang sent Xu Youyou to school together, and then she went to work.
The restoration work is very tedious. Although she only copied samples in the early stage, due to the special nature of the job, she often needs to work overtime. Many times she cannot go home until eleven or twelve o'clock. Huo Xilin will specially run to the museum to pick her up.
Time passed little by little in the busyness. Perhaps because she was too busy, she forgot to look up information about her parents' car accident.
"I'm going to the south in a few days. There's an important meeting where I must attend." Huo Xilin said to Xu Qingsui while sitting in the car.
"Well, work is important, you should go back." Xu Qingsui said sympathetically.
Although Huo Xilin arranged his work in the capital, the south is the headquarters of the Huo Group after all, and there are many things waiting for him to deal with when he returns. In order to stay here, he often holds video conferences in his study at night. Xu Qingsui knows all this.
She didn't want to see him working so hard, so she suggested, "I don't think it's good for you to run back and forth like this. Your workload is increasing. Why don't you go back? Aunt Wang is here to take care of me and the child. What else do you have to worry about?"
"I can handle all of these. As long as I can stay with you and the children, all the hardship is worth it." Huo Xilin said to Xu Qingsui with a smile.
"By the way, the Chinese New Year is only two or three months away. We will have our wedding next year. Have you decided where to take your wedding photos?"
Does time pass so quickly?
After Huo Xilin's reminder, Xu Qingsui was so frightened that he didn't know how to answer his question.
The wedding will be held next year. Holding a wedding means announcing their relationship to the world, and everything will become complicated by then.
If Yan Xisui and her son and parents had not been in a car accident, she would have had endless expectations for the wedding, but now she is left with only anxiety and fear.
Seeing Xu Qingsui remained silent and looked troubled, Huo Xilin asked worriedly, "What's wrong? You don't seem very happy about getting married? Even if you don't want to marry me, you've already married me. You're mine for life, don't even think about running away!"
He asserted his sovereignty in a joking tone.
"I'm just... a little nervous." Xu Qingsui made up an excuse and said perfunctorily.
Huo Xilin held the steering wheel with one hand, freed one hand to hold Xu Qingsui's hand, and gently comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"It's okay. There's still time. You can think about it slowly. When I'm free, we can make a plan together. My idea is that next spring, when the flowers are in bloom, it will be a good time to take wedding photos. By then, I will find a professional team and we can travel and take photos at the same time, leaving our footprints in all the most beautiful places at home and abroad."
It can be heard that he really put a lot of thought into this matter.
It would be a lie to say that he was not moved. Just by listening to it, Xu Qingsui felt an infinite yearning for it.
