When she looked up at Gu Yao, Gu Yao's expression was a little strange.
He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and reached out his hand.
"Give it to me, I'll take care of it."
Zhou Chunhua refused without even thinking about it.
After all, Gu Yao had helped her many times along the way.
She wouldn't dare trouble Gu Yao with something as trivial as running errands.
"It's alright. I can do it myself. I've already caused you too much trouble these past few days."
Gu Yao raised an eyebrow and turned his head away.
Although she didn't say anything, she seemed unhappy.
"Um... what do you want for dinner tonight? I've been away from home for a few days, so the fridge must be empty. See if there's anything you'd like to eat. I'll buy some groceries on the way home and cook it for you when we get there."
"Okay, let's go to the supermarket now."
She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Gu Yao respond.
With a weight lifted from her heart, Zhou Chunhua glanced at Zhang Xiaonuan, then looked down at the little bundle of joy nestled in her arms.
"Then... what about them?"
Zhang Xiaonuan's current situation makes it unsuitable for her to be alone with Wu Jing, let alone take care of the child on her own.
Especially after she woke up, she still didn't know which personality she was.
Give Lulu to her... Don't harm the child.
Perhaps because this child was the same age as Nini when she went missing, she would always unconsciously think about the child.
Now that Gu Yao has moved in to stay here, there is no extra space in the house for the mother and daughter to live in.
"I'll arrange it."
After Gu Yao finished speaking, he started the car.
Once inside the city, Gu Yao drove towards the law firm.
When the car was two blocks away from the law firm, Gu Yao parked it on the side of the road.
Zhou Chunhua looked outside and was surprised to see Minister Wen!
"What are you doing...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yaoren had already gotten out of the car.
After talking with Wenyu for a while, he opened the back door.
Wen Yu crouched down and came in to help Zhang Xiaonuan.
Their eyes met, and Wen Yu looked embarrassed, while she looked even more at a loss for words.
He could only awkwardly greet her, "Minister Wen, it's been a long time."
After Wen Yu nodded, he lifted Zhang Xiaonuan up with one hand and took out a handful of lollipops from his pocket with the other and gave them to Zhang Lulu.
"Little sister, today you and your mother are going to your uncle's house. Your uncle has lots of delicious candies."
Looking at Wen Yu's stiff smile, Zhou Chunhua inexplicably felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he were a bad uncle trying to deceive children.
Sure enough, Lulu only glanced at Wenyu before hugging her tightly and bursting into tears.
Wen Yu looked at her, at a loss for what to do.
Zhou Chunhua quickly reassured Lulu, "Lulu, be good. Uncle isn't a bad person. Uncle is just helping me take care of you and Mom. You go play at Uncle's house first, and I'll come pick you and Mom up after I finish my business, and then take you home, okay?"
Little Lulu has a pair of big, watery eyes.
Sapphire-like pupils, soaked in tears.
"Really?"
She quickly picked up a lollipop, unwrapped it, and put it in Lulu's mouth.
Kids are much easier to coax when there's candy.
The little one smacked twice and immediately stopped crying.
She kissed the little one on the cheek and instructed, "Lulu is the only one who can take care of Mommy now, so you must take good care of Mommy."
"Okay. Lulu will definitely take good care of Mom. Grandma, you must finish your business quickly and come pick Lulu and Mom up from home. Let's pinky swear."
The little guy sticks out his short, chubby little finger.
Zhou Chunhua's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Holding back her tears, she extended her little finger and made a pinky promise with the little one before handing her over to Wenyu.
After Wen Yu took the person away, Gu Yao returned to his car.
"Don't worry. Wenyu is the most suitable person for judging people. I've also explained Zhang Xiaonuan's situation to him."
After saying that, Gu Yao started the car.
The apartment is quite far from the lawyer's office, but you'll pass a large shopping mall along the way.
She was grateful that the person had gone to so much trouble, spending both time and money to help her.
So he suggested, "We'll pass by Walmart on the way, let's stop there and buy something."
"good."
After responding, Gu Yao drove the car toward Walmart.
More than ten minutes later, they entered the supermarket.
Zhou Chunhua habitually reached for the cart.
As soon as she turned around, Gu Yao snatched the car from her hands.
"I...I'll do it."
"How can you pick out vegetables while pushing a cart? I'll push, you pick out the vegetables." After saying that, Gu Yao pushed the shopping cart forward.
She quickly chased after him.
Looking at Gu Yao's straight back, she couldn't help but think of the past.
Over the years, she has long been accustomed to shopping alone at the supermarket, then carrying heavy bags of things a long way home.
Actually, it wasn't like this when they first got married. Back then, Liao Nanxing would occasionally accompany her to the supermarket to shop.
But Liao Nanxing never helped her push the cart.
At most, I would just follow along, looking around here and there.
He would occasionally stop to pick out some things for himself.
As for picking and weighing vegetables, Liao Nanxing never even lifted a finger.
It was as if those things would dirty his hands.
That's ridiculous. He didn't seem to mind the food being dirty when he was eating it.
Unable to hold back, she dug up her past self and berated her again.
Upon arriving at the vegetable section, Gu Yao slowed his pace and walked naturally beside her.
She would stop to pick out vegetables, and Gu Yao would wait beside her.
Occasionally, when she couldn't reach something, Gu Yao would reach out and get it for her so she could choose.
"Is there anything you can't eat, or anything you don't like to eat?" Zhou Chunhua asked.
Gu Yao pulled over a bag, opened it, and filled it with vegetables for her.
“I’m not a picky eater. Just buy whatever you like, our tastes are quite similar.”
"good."
After buying the vegetables, she turned around and went to the seafood section.
She remembered that the last time Gu Yao treated her to dinner, it was at a seafood restaurant.
Gu Yao must really like seafood.
To thank Gu Yao, Zhou Chunhua went all out this time, buying some rather expensive items.
In the past, she would have bought a fish or a pound of bamboo shrimp at most.
"Look, is there anything else you'd like to eat?"
"It's gone."
"Okay. Let's go home then. I'll call Nana on the way and tell her to come home early today."
Zhou Chunhua was about to take the seafood to be weighed when Gu Yao said, "I'll go."
He pushed the cart toward the weighing platform.
She quickly chased after him.
The weighing area was still in the vegetable section.
By this time, a long queue had already formed at the weighing platform.
The reason was that the person in front of them who was buying vegetables got into an argument with the sales assistant in charge of the vegetable section because of a dispute over picking vegetable leaves.
"What's wrong with picking a couple of vegetable leaves? The leaves are rotten like this, and you still want to sell them for money? Are you crazy for money? Why don't you just rob someone!"
Zhou Chunhua stood on tiptoe and peeked over there, only to see a middle-aged woman carrying a child on her back suddenly slam a bag of vegetables onto the vegetable shelf.
How could that profile be her?
