If I had known Mingsi was waiting for me at home, I should have come back earlier, or even called her, so that she wouldn't have to wait for me until this time.
I explained softly, "I went out to eat with a friend after get off work, and it took a while. Next time, don't wait for me and go to bed early."
Mingsi shook his head stubbornly, "That won't do. I have to see you get home safely before I can sleep peacefully."
She held my hand and looked at me with concern, which warmed my heart.
This kind of concern and care is maternal love, and it is the long-lost warmth that Mingsi brings me.
"By the way, I asked the kitchen to stew some bird's nest. You can eat a few bites before going to sleep." Mingsi was very caring towards me and ordered the servants to bring out the bird's nest.
She also specifically asked the servant to send a portion to Tang Jun, and then accompanied me to eat bird's nest in the living room.
After taking two bites, the servant came down from upstairs carrying the bird's nest, and the bird's nest in his hand was untouched.
"Madam, the young lady must have fallen asleep. I knocked on the door but no one answered."
Mingsi glanced upstairs with some worry and muttered, "Why did you go to bed so early today?"
"Maybe I'm too tired." She asked herself and answered, then turned to me and asked, "Xiao Shan, how are you feeling at the company recently? Is the workload too intense? Don't get too tired."
I shook my head and forced a reassuring smile, "It's okay, I'm not tired."
I was eating bird's nest when Mingsi looked at me and sighed softly, "Actually, Mom doesn't have high expectations for you and Junjun, and I don't want you to become strong women. Mom just hopes that you are healthy and have a husband who loves you in the future. That's enough."
Mingsi's love is very simple, and in Mingsi's eyes, both Tang Jun and I are her daughters and she treats us the same.
I understood Mingsi's feelings, smiled brightly, and comforted her: "Don't worry, we will all be fine."
Mingsi and I were chatting idly, and Mingsi mentioned Cai Ya inadvertently.
"Cai Ya has been working in the company for so many years and is considered the backbone of the company. With her in Beijing, your father and I can feel more at ease."
I couldn't help but think of the moment I heard Cai Ya talking on the phone in the restroom, and casually asked, "Aunt Cai is so good at work, surely it's because she has a strong family to support her, right?"
Ming Si sighed, "Not really. It's a shame, Cai Ya is a good person, but she never found a good man. She and her husband divorced a long time ago."
I was shocked. Who was she talking to so intimately on the phone in the bathroom? Could it be just Cai Ya's boyfriend?
But Cai Ya clearly told him to take good care of their daughter. They are not married but they already have a child?
Although this kind of thinking is open, it is nothing in today's society.
I asked casually, "Cai Ya is about your age, so her child should be about the same age as mine, right?"
"Cai Ya has no children." Mingsi's words stunned me.
She said sympathetically, "The reason Cai Ya's husband divorced her was because Cai Ya had been childless for many years. How could she possibly have a child?"
I was stunned. Cai Ya had been childless for many years, so it was probably because she was infertile.
But what about that child?
I felt something was wrong, but then I changed my mind and convinced myself.
Cai Ya has been divorced for many years, so it is normal for her to fall in love. Maybe it is because her boyfriend has a child.
