After breakfast, Zizai, holding the hand of Xiaoxiao who was still not very steady on her feet, accompanied Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao out the door with her grandparents.
Zhu Qianying assumed they were seeing her off to the car, but unexpectedly, Zizai first put Xiaoxiao into the car, and then climbed into the car himself.
Seeing Zhu Qianying standing outside the car, he raised his little hand towards her, "Mommy, hurry up and get in the car, aren't you in a hurry?"
Zhu Qianying shook her head, smiled at her two children, and bent down to get into the car.
Then, Yan Shao sat in the passenger seat, and Yan Bo and his wife also got into the car.
Zhu Qianying was a little speechless. Looking at the family members sitting in front and behind her, she thought the send-off was a bit too much.
"Dad, Mom, I'm not going away for long, just half a month, you don't need to see me off!"
While the driver wasn't driving, Zhu Qianying tried to persuade the elderly couple to get off the bus with their son and daughter.
Besides not wanting her parents and children to travel back and forth, Zhu Qianying was also afraid that she would be reluctant to part with her beloved son and daughter.
After all, this was the first time she had left her son and daughter behind to travel far away since her daughter was born.
Grandma Yan reached out to comfort her granddaughter, who was struggling to sit in the baby seat, "Anyway, we have nothing else to do, so let's just take Xiaoxiao to the airport to see airplanes."
Madam Yan's reason was rather far-fetched, but Zhu Qianying couldn't refute it. "Alright then..."
The driver seemed to be driving particularly slowly today, or perhaps he was deliberately driving slowly so that Zhu Qianying could spend more time with the child.
The car arrived at the airport with only about an hour left before the plane's takeoff.
Zhu Qianying hurriedly got out of the car and entered the hall with her family. Yan Shao asked the driver to take the luggage to get the boarding pass and check the luggage in.
Zhu Qianying held Xiaoxiao in her arms, rubbing her face against hers repeatedly. The closer it got to the time of separation, the more reluctant she became.
He secretly vowed that after this trip, he would never again accept a cooperation project that required going abroad, in the near future.
The driver quickly returned with the boarding pass, which Yan Shao took from him. He then put his arm around Zhu Qianying and said, "Let's go, we're going to be late."
Zhu Qianying hummed in agreement, but couldn't bear to hand Xiaoxiao over to anyone.
When they reached the security checkpoint, she gave Xiaoxiao a few big kisses, then looked at the little girl with red eyes and said, "Baby, miss Mommy!"
At times like these, she comes to realize even more deeply that between mothers and children, it is always the mother who needs the child more.
Xiao Xiao blinked at her, seemingly not understanding why her mother would say such a thing. She glanced at Zhu Qianying, then grabbed her shoulder with one hand and excitedly raised her other little hand, making a flying gesture.
"Feifei... Feifei!"
Zhu Qianying kissed her twice more and promised, "Okay, next time Mommy will take Xiaoxiao flying with me!"
With little time left, Zhu Qianying had no choice but to put Xiaoxiao in Yan Shao's arms and then extend her hand to him.
"Give me your boarding pass!"
With one arm around Xiao Xiao, Yan Shao handed the boarding pass to Zhu Qianying with the other.
"Dad, Mom, you go back now. I'll call you as soon as I get off the plane!"
After saying goodbye to Yan Bo and his wife, Zhu Qianying kissed her daughter and son on the cheek, and finally kissed Yan Shao on the cheek before turning around and walking towards the security check line.
She never looked back along the way, because she was afraid that if she did, she wouldn't be able to leave.
She had tried leaving her son to work when he was just a few months old before, but at most they were separated for a day or two. She had never been separated for such a long time as this time.
Moreover, it seems that this little girl, Xiaoxiao, is someone she worries about more than Zizai.
The line in front was gradually shortening, and Zhu Qianying could feel people catching up behind her, but she never looked back.
Until a small hand landed on her shoulder, and a familiar baby voice reached her ears.
"Mother……"
Zhu Qianying turned around abruptly and saw Yan Shao standing behind her, holding the smiling Xiao Xiao in his arms.
"Husband, what about you two?"
Zhu Qianying glanced at Yan Shao, Zizai standing beside him, and Yan Bo and his wife standing behind him with a puzzled look.
"Mommy, we're going on vacation!" Zizai reported to her with a smile, his bright eyes sparkling with a mischievous grin.
Zhu Qianying glanced at Yan Shao, who looked calm and composed, and then at her son. She vaguely understood something.
"Your vacation spot doesn't happen to be in the same place as mine, does it?"
Yan Shao smiled, raised his hand to pinch her cheek, and said affectionately, "Of course we'll stay in the same place. Seeing how reluctant you are to leave us, how could we bear to leave you alone? Right, Xiao Xiao?"
Little Xiao didn't understand what her father meant. She just instinctively nodded and hummed in response, reaching out her hands to Zhu Qianying, "Hug... Mommy... hug!"
Tears welled in Zhu Qianying's eyes. She sniffed a few times, then smiled and raised her hand to take the little girl.
"Okay! Mommy, give me a hug!"
After passing through security, Xiaoxiao refused to be carried anymore and insisted on walking with her brother. Yan Bo and his wife followed behind the siblings, while Yan Shao, holding Zhu Qianying's hand, lagged behind.
Seeing her children and the two elders walk a little further away, Zhu Qianying couldn't help but lift her foot and gently kick Yan Shao, cursing under her breath.
"You're really something, keeping this from me for so long!"
Yan Shao tightened his grip on her hand, his smiling eyes fixed on her, but he remained silent.
He didn't defend himself, nor did he say much.
Zhu Qianying felt a little embarrassed by his gaze. Although she was no longer a little girl, she still felt somewhat uneasy whenever she met Young Master Yan's bright and focused eyes.
Or, to be more precise, I guess I'm a little shy.
In particular, now, in public like this, he stared at her so openly and affectionately, without batting an eye, that she felt an urge to crawl into a hole and disappear.
As Yan Shao watched Zhu Qianying's ears gradually turn red, the smile on his lips grew wider and wider.
Seeing that Zhu Qianying was about to get angry and embarrassed, Yan Shao leaned close to her ear and whispered.
"To be honest, would you really be so eager and meticulous in bribing me?"
Yan Shao's words were extremely ambiguous. After hearing them, Zhu Qianying's ears turned even redder. If it weren't for the fact that they were in a public place, she probably would have given Yan Shao a good beating.
However, this doesn't mean she can't retaliate.
During the rest of the flight, Young Master Yan was neglected. At first, no one noticed, but eventually, even the little girl Xiao Xiao sensed something was wrong. When Zhu Qianying was holding her, she actually said something to Zhu Qianying.
"Daddy...Daddy, you're bad...bad..."
Zhu Qianying didn't even glance at Yan Shao, only focusing on playing with Xiao Xiao.
At first, Zizai was quite sympathetic to his father, but later, for some reason, he turned against him.
"Daddy, why don't you switch seats with someone else? Mommy doesn't like you!"
