"Cook, will Mommy really come back this time?"
She had cried countless times, but her voice was clearly hoarse.
The cook smiled kindly across her wrinkled face, gently stroking Li Jiujiu's head and chuckling softly.
"The cook has been with you for so long, young lady. When have you ever seen me lie to you? Don't worry, young lady. Miss Wanrou is just too busy outside. She's actually thinking about you all the time."
The cook's kind eyes were full of heartache for Li Jiujiu. She had watched Jiujiu grow up since she was a child, and she understood Jiujiu's thoughts better than anyone else.
Although Jiu Jiu appears strong, she is actually extremely dependent on family and love at heart.
Even though she used to say she didn't like her mother, she secretly longed to be back in her mother's arms.
Ever since Miss Wanrou personally cooked sweet taro and pork rib soup for Jiu Jiu, which Jiu Jiu spilled, Jiu Jiu has been blaming herself for it.
So from then on, Jiu Jiu would cook a bowl of sweet taro and pork rib soup almost every day, just waiting for Miss Wan Rou to come back.
If the mother and daughter can reconcile, then Jiu Jiu's taro and pork rib soup won't have been cooked in vain.
Li Jiujiu's round eyes were full of hope: "Really, cook?"
"Of course it's true. What mother in the world doesn't love her child? Besides, the little lady is so adorable..."
The cook's patient voice soothed Li Jiujiu's ears, and she felt the slight tension in her heart dissipate.

Over the past five years, her mother had explained countless times why she had left her in the Li family, so she naturally knew the whole story.
But because she hasn't been able to get over this hurdle in her heart for the past five years, she's just deceiving herself.
But Mommy is Mommy, the Mommy she loves and wants most...
Just then, steady footsteps sounded outside the hall.
Li Jiujiu's nerves immediately tensed up, her large, dark, bright eyes fixed nervously on the direction of the restaurant entrance.
A few seconds later, the restaurant door opened, revealing Gu Wanrou and Li Zhanfeng's faces.
In that instant, Li Jiujiu felt as if countless fireworks were exploding in her heart. She jumped off the children's chair and snuggled into Gu Wanrou's arms!
