Xu Wan was unaware of the conversation between the two. After hanging up the phone, she went into Xiao Jinqi's ward, carefully looked around the ward, made a list of the things she wanted to buy on her phone, and then took Xiao Jinqi out.
Xu Wan drove herself. She arranged for Xiao Jinqi to sit in the back seat, fastened her seatbelt, and specifically instructed her not to unfasten it while the car was in motion.
The car drove from St. He's Hospital all the way to the bustling commercial street.
After arriving at their destination, Xu Wan and Xiao Jinqi discussed it and decided to have a meal first, and then go shopping after they had eaten.
Xu Wan didn't know what the child liked to eat, so she decided to take her to a Pizza Hut that all children love.
She led Xiao Jinqi through the bustling shopping mall. Xiao Jinqi looked left and right and couldn't help but exclaim, "Aunt Xu, I... I wish I could borrow another pair of eyes!"
"Borrow my eyes?"
Xu Wan was stunned, not knowing what the child wanted to say.
Xiao Jinqi took her hand and said in a very serious tone, "Because this place is so beautiful! I feel like I can't see it all with just one pair of eyes, so I want to borrow another pair to look at it!"
Xu Wan slowed down her pace. "Don't rush, take your time. It's okay if you don't finish today. Auntie can bring you again next time."
She could completely understand Xiao Jinqi's feelings.
When she first came to Beicheng, she was shocked by the bustling city, the busy streets, and the dazzling array of goods.
She had imagined the outside world was vast, but she never expected it to be like this.
Even though the Beginning of Autumn has just passed in August, the weather is still terribly hot.
Fearing that Jinqi would suffer from heatstroke, Xu Wan suggested, "Jinqi, there's a light and music fountain over there. It only turns on after sunset. I'll take you to eat first, and it'll be on around the time we finish eating and shopping."
"good!!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinqi immediately jumped up with joy.
Xu Wan and Xiao Jinqi had just entered the mall where they were going to eat through the revolving door when Tang Lu walked towards them.
Tang Lu walked over with a smile and asked, "Xu Wan, is this the little girl you were talking about earlier?"
“Yes.” Xu Wan lowered her head and introduced to Xiao Jinqi, “Jinqi, this is my college classmate, Tang Lu.”
"Aunt Xu, this aunt is so fair-skinned and beautiful!" After praising Tang Lu, Xiao Jinqi paused and then said, "Hey, Auntie has a scar on her arm just like mine. Did Daddy hit her there too?"
Tang Lu has now moved out of the marital home and returned to her parents' house.
There were no new injuries on her body; the scars from the old injuries her husband had inflicted had fallen off, leaving only traces.
Tang Lu then noticed the injuries on the little girl's limbs and showed a look of heartache.
Xu Wan squatted down and said to Xiao Jinqi, "Aunt Tang's injuries are all old, just like yours. Neither of you will have any new injuries in the future."
Xiao Jinqi looked bewildered.
Tang Lu was truly grateful to Xu Wan.
She looked at the children and asked, "Where are you all going?"
Xu Wan pointed to a shop next door, "I'll take her to eat at Pizza Hut over there."
"Let's eat together then, I haven't eaten either," Tang Lu asked Xiao Jinqi, looking down at her. "May I eat with you guys?"
Xiao Jinqi looked at Xu Wan.
Xu Wan naturally agreed.
The three of them went into the restaurant together.
Xu Wan ordered chicken wings, pasta, juice, and pizza for Xiao Jinqi.
When the food arrived, Xiao Jinqi was initially hesitant to eat, but Xu Wan had to persuade her several times before she finally started eating.
Seeing that she was eating more and more, Xu Wan was afraid that she would burst her little belly, so she quickly persuaded her to stop.
After leaving the restaurant, Xiao Jinqi said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Aunt Xu, I really thought it was so delicious that I... I accidentally ate so much. I'm not shameless."
Seeing her like this, Xu Wan thought of herself when she was a child, and knelt down to hug her with heartache. "From now on, you will be able to eat your fill at every meal, so don't be afraid. You don't need to eat too much, or you will have health problems."
Xiao Jinqi nodded seriously.
Tang Lu also liked Xiao Jinqi and said with a smile, "Don't worry, if Aunt Xu doesn't have time, you can tell me what you want to eat and I'll take you there."
Xiao Jinqi looked at Tang Lu and gave her a sweet smile: "Pretty auntie, you're so nice."
Tang Lu was even happier when she heard this title.
To help Xiao Jinqi digest her food, Xu Wan and Tang Lu took the child directly to the children's clothing floor upstairs.
As soon as the three of them came up, Xiao Jinqi stared intently at the window of a maternity and baby store next door, and murmured two words—
"Mother."
