"Little one, do you miss Mommy?"
Xiao Xiao didn't know or dare to be sure if she missed Zhu Qianying, but she was certain that she missed that little girl so much that her heart ached.
Is this simply the nature of maternal love?
"Mommy..." Just a few days ago, the little girl finally uttered her first two-syllable word, which was "Mommy".
The adorable baby's voice reached Zhu Qianying's ears, making her heart itch even more. "Baby, did you miss Mommy?"
"I was thinking about it..."
The little girl's aggrieved tone made Zhu Qianying wish she could fly to her daughter's side immediately and hug the soft little dumpling in her arms for a good cuddle.
Zhu Qianying didn't get any information from her children, and after hanging up the phone, she missed them even more.
After exiting the ring road, the car went directly onto the highway.
Zhu Qianying could only determine the direction but not the destination. She thought to herself, "Isn't this Young Master Yan a bit too mysterious? Is it really necessary?"
To stop herself from overthinking, Zhu Qianying simply closed her eyes and gently leaned on Chen Jing's shoulder to rest.
After closing my eyes, the outside world seemed to be shut out, and all I could hear was the screeching sound of tires speeding over the road.
Accompanied by the soft friction sounds, Zhu Qianying's mind raced through scenes of her past with Yan Shao, like a spinning wheel.
She still vividly remembers the amazing feeling she had when she climbed up the steep valley and her eyes met Yan Shao's.
The man I thought was aloof and unapproachable back then turned out to be a million times more gentle and considerate than that scumbag Takenozu after I tamed him.
Although she and he had been separated for five years, she believed that there would be many more five-year periods in the future, giving her and Yan Shao enough time to make up for the past loss and regret.
My thoughts raced along with the car, and before I knew it, the car had left the highway and soon turned onto another road.
As if sensing something, Zhu Qianying opened her eyes and looked ahead. What she saw was a vast expanse of azure sea.
However, this sea was clearly not the sea that Wanghaiju had seen.
Since no one was willing to reveal anything about the party when asked, Zhu Qianying stopped asking. She only got out of the car with her mother after the car drove straight along the road and stopped in front of the dock.
Zhu Qianying held onto the long hem of her wedding dress with one hand and looked up into the distance.
Logically speaking, since there is a dock here, there should be fishing boats docked. But strangely, not only are there no fishing boats here, but the only other thing in sight is their car and a few people.
Just as Zhu Qianying was puzzled, the sound of machinery came from behind the large group of reefs not far away.
Soon, she saw a red speedboat emerge from behind the reef, followed by two, three, four, five... a long line of speedboats sailing towards the dock in a grand procession.
Zhu Qianying immediately understood; presumably, this long line of speedboats was there to pick her up!
Soon, the image of the lead speedboat gradually became clear, and she could see clearly that the red was not the speedboat's own color, but rather the vibrant color displayed by the red roses that decorated the entire speedboat.
Tsk, this Young Master Yan, I rarely see him sending flowers, but at crucial moments like this, the flowers can pile up into a mountain.
For example, when he proposed to her on her birthday last year, he used thousands of roses. Rich people are indeed capricious!
As the speedboat drew closer, she could see a handsome man in a black tuxedo, holding a bouquet of flowers, slowly approaching her against the sea breeze.
And standing on his left and right were two little kids.
The slightly taller one was a boy, dressed in the same formal attire as the men, with a bow tie, and carrying a flower basket.
On the other side, a little boy was being led by a man. Like the boy, the little boy was carrying a flower basket in his other little hand.
The little girl was dressed in a small white off-the-shoulder wedding dress, her jet-black hair cascading over her shoulders, and an elegant floral wreath adorning her head. Upon closer inspection, it was easy to see that the little girl's floral wreath, hairstyle, and off-the-shoulder wedding dress were exactly the same as Zhu Qianying's.
Zhu Qianying stared at the three people from afar, her eyes gradually becoming blurry.
I want to have a boy who looks like me, and a girl who looks like you...
The boy is wearing a suit just like mine, and the girl is wearing a wedding dress just like yours...
These were all things the man had said to her.
Today, it has all come true...
Zhu Qianying tilted her head back slightly, blinked, and sniffed, trying her best to force back the tears welling up in her eyes.
The speedboat drew closer.
"Mommy! Mommy!"
Two little kids, one big and one small, shouted at her in unison.
Zhu Qianying held out her bouquet and waved to them, "Honey, I'm here!"
"Mommy, we've come to pick you up!" Zizai shouted loudly.
After Zizai finished yelling, the little girl's softer voice came through, "Mommy, answer the call!"
At this moment, Zhu Qianying wished she could grow wings and fly over there!
Realizing how pathetic she was, Zhu Qianying couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Standing beside her, Chen Jing glanced at her with satisfaction before turning her gaze toward the speedboat.
"Xiao Han is really dedicated, Ying'er, you must treat him well in the future!"
Zhu Qianying secretly rolled her eyes. "Mom, am I your daughter?"
Chen Jing smiled at her, "Of course you are my daughter, but Xiao Han is also my son. As his mother, I have to be fair and just."
Zhu Qianying clicked her tongue twice, "With a son-in-law, everything is perfect. Dad, you'd better watch out!"
Zhu Qianying, seemingly eager to stir up trouble, smiled as she looked at Luo Yifan standing behind Chen Jing.
Luo Yifan wore a look of utter despair. "It's no use me paying attention. Your mother always puts you guys, Daxian, and Xiaochang first. As for me, I've long been at the very back of the line. There's no point in protesting!"
Luo Yifan's depressed state made Zhu Qianying want to laugh.
Most loving couples are probably like this.
No matter what outrageous things one party does, the other party will only tell outsiders with such a helpless and depressed expression, but in private, they will still indulge the other party to continue to do whatever they want time and time again.
"Dad, Mom, you must continue to be as happy as you are now!"
Today is clearly just her wedding anniversary, but everything Yan Shao has created gives her the illusion that she has to explain everything to her family after getting married.
Chen Jing lovingly touched her face, "Silly girl, Mom will! You will too, and you will always be happy!"
Zhu Qianying's words and everything before her eyes gave Chen Jing the same illusion that she was marrying off her daughter today.
As the mother and daughter were talking, the long line of speedboats approached, getting closer and closer, with the lead one about to dock.
