Xu Wan was surprised. She wanted to take the call and ask the man what he thought, but Xiao Xiao had already hung up.
When she returned the phone to Xu Wan, her chubby little face couldn't hide her happiness. "Mommy, Daddy said he'll come to see my performance on Children's Day! I'll definitely practice hard so that when Daddy comes, I can make him proud to have a daughter like me."
The child speaks slowly, but tries his best to express each word clearly.
Xu Wan held her daughter in her arms and told her, "Every parent loves their child. No matter what you do, you will always shine in your parents' eyes. You will always be your parents' pride."
"Really?" Xiaoxiao's long eyelashes fluttered as she tilted her head and asked, "If that's the case... why hasn't Dad come to see me for so long..."
The child's mood was undeniably low when the topic was brought up.
Xu Wan gently patted her daughter's arm. "About this... Mom hasn't seen Dad for a long time either, but Mom believes Dad didn't want to be away from Xiaoxiao for so long. He has his own reasons. When you see Dad, can you ask him yourself?"
Xiaoxiao has always been an obedient child.
She seemed to understand, but nodded seriously anyway: "Okay then."

After dropping Xiaoxiao off at home, Xu Wan changed her clothes, touched up her makeup a little, and hurriedly went out.
Xu Wan had never heard of the restaurant that Jiang Tingzhou had booked before.
Lu drove the car into a narrow alley that could only accommodate one car at a time.
Looking at the old walls on both sides, which were only a dozen centimeters away from the car doors, Xu Wan couldn't help but ask, "Is the restaurant inside? Should I just walk in?"
At this distance, even if a bicycle comes from the opposite direction, it would be difficult for them to pass each other.
Lu Wei replied, "We'll be there soon."
Xu Wan could only sit there quietly.
The car traveled at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour for about 10 minutes before finally reaching the end of the road.
Xu Wan never expected that the end of this road would not be another road, but an iron gate.
The car stopped at the entrance, and the iron gate slowly opened, revealing a road leading to the underground parking garage.
Lu drove the car in.
The underground parking lot was very large, but it was empty except for seven or eight cars parked in one corner. Each car was covered with a car cover, but judging from the models, each one should be a luxury sports car worth a lot of money.
Besides that, there was the black Mercedes-Benz van that Jiang Tingzhou had just been riding in.
As Xu Wan approached, the car door slowly opened, the driver set up the ramp, and Jiang Tingzhou maneuvered the wheelchair to slowly get out of the car.
Upon seeing the woman who had changed out of her business attire and into a skirt, the man couldn't help but chuckle and said, "This skirt suits you very well."
Xu Wan originally wanted to go around to the back of the man's wheelchair and help him push it, but the man took her hand first.
Before Xu Wan could speak, the man said, "I want to hold your hand. I can control the wheelchair myself."
Xu Wan was led by the man to the door of the private room.
After reading through the messages, she finally understood why Ling Ya had asked that question in the message earlier.
This restaurant offers unparalleled privacy and boasts understated yet luxurious decor, setting it apart from ordinary dining venues and making it more like a place where business leaders discuss in-depth collaborations.
Lingya has not arrived yet.
After entering the private room, Xu Wan found a sofa to sit down before looking at the man and saying, "Should I excuse myself for a bit, and come out after you've met with Mom?"
The mother and son haven't seen each other for a long time, so they must want some alone time.
“You’re not an outsider, there’s no need to avoid me.” The man held her hand the whole time. “However, rather than you avoiding me first, it would be better if I did. You and your mother talk first, and I’ll come over when you mention me.”
While the two were still discussing, a waiter came in and said, "Sir, Ms. Ling's car has entered the underground parking lot and will arrive at the private room in about five minutes."
Lingya has arrived.
