Wen Shu rushed out like a madwoman; almost forty minutes had passed!
As soon as she left, Li Duo stood up.
He reached out and grabbed the half-written piece of paper from the table, then chased after her, yelling, "Wen Shu, you stop right there!"
Wen Shu was lucky; when she arrived at the entrance, she saw someone just getting out of a taxi. She rushed over and opened the car door, "Driver, to XX Kindergarten!"
When Wen Shu arrived at the kindergarten gate, the bus in front of the gate had already driven away.
A lone little figure, carrying a small backpack stuffed with snacks, stood in the open space in front of the kindergarten.
The gatekeeper stood not far away, neither daring to approach nor leave.
Wen Shu stopped in her tracks. "Meatball!"
Wen Rou Rou pursed her lips, looked up at Wen Shu, two big tears welling up in her eyes, and said aggrievedly, "Shu Shu, the big car drove away!"
Wen Shu felt a sharp pain in her heart. She walked over and pulled him into her arms. "I'm sorry, Shu Shu is late."
As soon as Wen Rou Rou was in her arms, she suddenly burst into tears, "The teacher said... without Shu Shu to take me, I can't go... Waaaaah..."
Wen Shu sobbed, "I'm sorry, Rou Rou, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have broken my promise, I shouldn't have left Rou Rou at the company, I shouldn't have come back so late..."
"Waaaaah..."
Wen Shu hugged him tightly, "I'm sorry, it's all Shu Shu's fault!"
While crying, Wen Rou Rou wiped Wen Shu's tears with her little hands, saying, "I'm not angry."
"It's Shushu's fault that Rou Rou is angry. I wish Shushu had come back sooner."
Wen Shu reached out and picked him up tightly. "How about Shu Shu takes Rou Rou to the amusement park?"
Wen Rou Rou hugged Wen Shu's neck and obediently said, "I want to go home."
Li Duo sat in the car, staring at the figure on the field, and fell silent.
He glanced at the note in his hand, tore it into pieces, and got out of the car.
Wen Shu was holding Rou Rou, intending to take him back first, but when she turned around, she saw Li Duo.
Her face instantly turned cold. "President Li, is there any need to be in such a hurry? Don't worry, the Zhong family just paid you 230,000 yuan in compensation, and I will return it all to you. You don't need to worry that I will renege on my debt."
As she spoke, she hugged Wen Rourou and walked past him.
Li Duo took a step back and grabbed her.
"What else do you want to do?" Wen Shu lowered her voice, trying not to make Rou Rou think that she was arguing with him.
Li Duo forcibly took the warm, chubby baby from her arms. "You want to go on a picnic, right? I'll take you to catch up with the bus."
"President Li...give me back my child!"
Li Duo, however, took the child and went directly to ask the gatekeeper where the picnic was. Then he put Wen Rou Rou in the car and looked back at her: "Aren't you getting in the car?"
Wen Shu remained expressionless, showing no gratitude towards him.
She had figured out his tricks. If he hadn't deliberately made things difficult for them, they wouldn't have missed the bus at all. Why was he pretending to be a good person now?
Wen Rou Rou was still sobbing. He looked at Wen Shu with his big, teary eyes and looked at her obediently, "Shu Shu."
"If we don't get on the bus now, we'll really miss it." Li Duo got on the bus.
Wen Shu hesitated for a moment, then got into the car amidst Wen Rou Rou's expectant gaze.
Upon seeing this, Wen Rou Rou climbed into Wen Shu's arms and hugged her like a tree bear, resting her little face against her chest. She fell asleep shortly afterward.
Wen Shu carefully protected his feet without saying a word.
Li Duo handed the address for the outing to the driver, who quickly drove off.
"Contact the teacher and tell him your current address. There's a service area in between. Ask him to wait at the service area for a moment, and we might get there first."
Li Duo glanced at her.
Wen Shu's eyes were still red. After hearing her words, she took out her phone, protecting Wen Rou Rou with one hand, and left a message for the teacher with the other. The teacher quickly replied: The tour guide said that they would stop at the service area for fifteen minutes.
After Wen Shu relayed the message, he remained silent.
Li Duo spoke up: "I didn't know you were going on a picnic with this kid."
Wen Shu didn't speak or look at him.
Li Duo added, "Even if I tear up my resignation letter, it won't be approved."
Wen Shu ignored him; she had nothing to say to someone like him.
Li Duo knew she was still angry. "If you had said so earlier, there might not have been so much trouble."
Wen Shu sneered inwardly. He really knew how to find all sorts of excuses to absolve himself. How could someone like this be the boss of the Li Group?
"I didn't mean to force you to leave, don't misunderstand."
Wen Shu turned her head away, "Thank you, President Li, for your magnanimity and for not holding a grudge."
Li Duo frowned. "When you talk to people, you never look them in the eye. Don't you even know basic manners?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I'm just an ordinary citizen and I don't know those rules."
"Wen Shu, every word you say is sarcastic and sarcastic."
He now understands a little why Jingyu felt she was being provoked; with her acting like that, who would feel comfortable?
Wen Shu stared out the window without saying a word.
The hand that had been protecting Wenrourou quickly loosened its grip as her thoughts drifted away.
Li Duo felt something pressing against the outside of his thigh. Looking down, he saw that one of the little brat's shoes was pressed against his leg.
He frowned, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not reprimand him.
She's still angry. If he speaks now, she might just grab the child and get out of the car.
Li Duo pursed his lips and subtly moved to the side.
It's the first time I've ever ridden in my own car, and I feel so cramped.
He stepped aside, and the little guy's little foot followed suit, taking up such a large space with just one short leg.
He quickly looked up at Wen Shu, hoping she would notice that the little brat's feet were too much, but Wen Shu's gaze was fixed outside and she didn't notice at all.
Li Duo spoke again: "You'll be at work as usual next Monday. I've already spoken to Jin Chao, so today counts as you coming out on fieldwork with me."
"Mr. Li, you actually know why I can't find a job, right? You're just pretending not to know."
Li Duo paused, then remained silent.
"Back then, Miss Zhong was like a mad dog. She would do anything to force me to leave Beicheng. Even after I finally passed the interview, her phone call would follow immediately, and I would lose my chance."
"Actually, my position is dispensable to you. You're just using it to make it easier to do that kind of thing, aren't you?"
Li Duo lifted his eyelids and looked at her.
Wen Shu smiled and said, "But now that Miss Lin is back, whether I'm at the Li family or not, you'll still have reservations."
“I would be safer if I left the Li family. Besides, Miss Zhong is currently preoccupied with her own problems, so perhaps I can find a job.”
She finally looked at Li Duo, and seeing his unpleasant expression, continued, "Please don't misunderstand, I didn't suggest a pause. I was just thinking about our relationship from a longer-term perspective."
“There is a generation gap between us, haven’t you noticed? You are used to being immersed in your own way of thinking, while I have my own way of thinking, so we often can’t see eye to eye.”
Li Duo finally spoke: "Generation gap?!"
