Seeing her sister's sudden dejected expression, Ruan Huaizhu quickly said, "Second sister, don't worry, I believe your husband will be back soon."
"Um."
Ruan Qingling nodded, but there was still no news of Song Shiting.
...
All the exams are over, and I'm just waiting to see the results in a few days.
Just as Ruan Qingling was about to come out with her books, she saw Lu Hongming hurriedly walk in from outside, looking somewhat disheveled.
She intended to pretend she didn't see him and walk past, but Lu Hongming stopped anyway.
It's been a long time since I've seen Ruan Qingling.
Lu Hongming asked, "How have you been lately?"
I suddenly asked myself, "How have I been lately?"
Ruan Qingling nodded and said, "It's alright."
Lu Hongming paused for two seconds, then asked, "Haven't you heard from him yet?"
Ruan Qingling knew he was referring to Song Shiting.
She smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect you to care about this too."
Lu Hongming hadn't expected that Ruan Qingling would so easily steer the conversation in his direction.
He still said, "Yes, I've been following your situation recently."
This was a rather blunt remark, and Ruan Qingling didn't want to respond to it.
Just then, she saw Song Jie who had come to pick her up.
"I have to go now."
She nodded slightly, her gaze fixed on Song Jie in the distance.
Song Jie smiled and called out, "Sister-in-law."
Ruan Qingling slowly walked over. Song Jie said, "Sister-in-law, don't rush. Mom said you might be out of class soon, so she asked me to come and check on you and pick you up from school."
Worried that Ruan Qingling might not want to go back, Lin Yufang specially asked her to come and pick her up.
Ruan Qingling said, "Okay, but I need to go buy some things first. Also, all my clothes are at home."
I was originally planning to take Yaya there tomorrow!
Song Jie said, "Mom went to pick up Ya Ya this afternoon because she was worried that Ya Ya wouldn't see you tonight, so she brought Ya Ya over as well. Don't worry, everything at home is arranged properly, including your clothes, which the housekeeper has packed and delivered to you."
Ruan Qingling nodded and said, "Actually, I can go back and pack it slowly."
Song Jie reached out and put her arm around Ruan Qingling's wrist, saying, "Sister-in-law, we're all family. Whether you live at your parents' house or your husband's house, everyone will care about you. Mom has decided to quit her job and go home to take care of her granddaughter."
Ruan Qingling smiled slightly and asked, "Is that what Mom is planning?"
"Yes, she said that she can't take care of her family while she's at work, and Yaya is so big now, she wants to spend more time with her."
Ruan Qingling disagreed, and it seemed she needed to find a time to talk to her mother-in-law.
When they arrived at the Song family home, Lin Yufang had already returned.
Ya Ya was also brought over.
Upon seeing Ruan Qingling, she immediately ran over.
Wearing too many layers is like rolling a landmine on the ground.
"Mom, you're here..."
Ruan Qingling nodded and wanted to pick up Ya Ya, but Song Jie stopped her: "Let me hold Ya Ya."
Ya Ya is dressed too warmly now. Ruan Qingling is pregnant, so holding Ya Ya at this time might be very stressful.
Ya Ya wanted her mother to hold her and struggled against Song Jie.
Lin Yufang quickly said, "Mommy has a younger brother and sister in her belly. She can't be Yaya's mommy now. Once the younger brother and sister are born, she can hold Yaya."
Ya Ya looked puzzled: "Why can't Mom hug me if she has a younger brother or sister?"
Ruan Qingling smiled at Ya Ya and said, "It's not because Mommy is pregnant that I can't hold Ya Ya, but because the weather is cold now and we're all wearing a lot of clothes. Now that Ya Ya is heavier, Mommy can't hold her anymore."
How can you tell a child that you can't hold her because you're pregnant? She'll think that since her mother has a younger brother, her sister doesn't want her anymore.
This is a false signal and can cause psychological panic in children.
Sure enough, Ya Ya understood immediately and nodded obediently: "Then I don't want Mommy to carry me anymore, I'll walk by myself."
Lin Yufang praised Yaya for being well-behaved.
There was still no news of Song Shiting until New Year's Eve.
Tonight, Ruan Qingling is spending the Lunar New Year at the Song family's house with Ya Ya.
She stayed at the Song family's house for about ten days, and Lin Yufang was very considerate to her, doing everything she was supposed to do for her. She was very grateful.
But no matter how much her family treated her well, it couldn't compare to her longing for Song Shiting.
She didn't know why her longing for him had grown so intense. Song Shiting had been missing for more than two months, but there was still no news of him.
As Song Jie walked out, she saw Ruan Qingling looking up at the silent sky.
Song Jie asked, "Sister-in-law, are you outside?"
Ruan Qingling glanced back at her and nodded slightly.
In order to prevent Ruan Qingling and Ya Ya from feeling too lonely here, Song Jie did not go back to her husband's family home for the New Year, which caused a conflict between Du Lin and her.
She didn't care; in his opinion, a family that didn't respect him was worse than no family at all.
"Come inside, it's too cold outside. Ya Ya is getting her New Year's money, and she's so happy about it."
Ruan Qingling nodded.
Just as she was about to turn around, Ruan Huaizhu and the others came over.
Ruan Qingling not spending the Lunar New Year at home was also a great regret for them.
After all, Ruan Qingling had never spent a New Year at home or had a reunion dinner with her family. Originally, Song Ji planned to let Ruan Qingling go back this time.
However, the Song family wanted Ruan Qingling to spend the New Year here.
Moreover, this was Ruan Qingling's first time having a family reunion dinner at her husband's family home, so both sides attached great importance to it.
In the end, Ruan Qingling stayed at the Song family's house. She wasn't in the mood to offer suggestions, otherwise she would have suggested that both families go out to eat together.
