After dinner, Uncle De told Xiang Zhilan that he had bought plane tickets and would be returning to his hometown the next day.
Xiang Zhilan already knew about this beforehand. Originally, after Luo Zhenxian's death, Uncle De had no obligation to serve her anymore.
Uncle De was very sentimental, and seeing that the two children were still young, he took care of them for an extra six months in New Zealand.
Uncle De's children had been urging him to return home and enjoy his retirement in his hometown, but he was always worried about his two children.
Xiang Zhilan was very grateful for his care all along. She was a little sad to part ways like this, but she wholeheartedly agreed that it was a good thing for him to return to his hometown to retire.
"I feel relieved that Hengheng and the others have their grandparents here." Uncle De was very reluctant to part with them, but his son had also given him a grandson. The young couple were busy with work, and he should go back to help take care of his grandson.
"Well, my parents are retired anyway, so I can ask them to help take care of them while I'm working. Besides, they can start kindergarten in another year," Xiang Zhilan said, trying to reassure him.
Uncle De glanced back at Luo Che, who was playing with the two children in the living room, then turned back to Zhi Lan and said in a low voice, "Miss, I see that Young Master Luo cares a lot about Hengheng and Xiao Kui. Why don't you reconsider? Not only do the children need someone to take care of them, but you also need someone to take care of you. Before the Master passed away, you were the one he was most worried about."
"Yes, I will think about it carefully." Xiang Zhilan had no choice but to agree, after all, it was all for her own good.
Uncle De saw that she was just going through the motions, sighed softly, and turned to go out to the living room to play with the children.
After washing the dishes, Xiang Zhilan realized a serious problem. Uncle De was gone, and now only she and Luo Che were left in the house. Although there were two children, it was still awkward to live like this, and Luo Che hadn't given up on his feelings for her.
Or they could move back to their parents' place and let Luo Che live in this house. But if they did that, Shen Muzhi would immediately know that everything she said today was a lie.
Xiang Zhilan poured herself a glass of water, took a sip, and was truly caught in a dilemma.
As Luo Che played with the child, he turned his head to look at Zhi Lan. She seemed to be deep in thought. Was it because she had seen her ex-husband?
Everyone in the room had their own thoughts.
The next day, they first took Uncle De to the airport, and then went from the airport to Xiang's parents' place.
Luo Che only saw them off to the outside of the residential area and did not go in with them. He had to go to school to register first today.
Xiang Zhilan led the two little ones into the house, and the two elders were overjoyed, each holding one of them.
Xiang Zhilan used to talk to the children about their maternal grandparents and even showed them photos, so they weren't shy at all and naturally became close to the two elderly people.
After dinner, we naturally stayed overnight.
Xiang Zhilan's room only had a single bed, but fortunately, her parents had prepared a bed for her in advance.
After putting the two children to sleep, Xiang's mother held Zhi Lan's hand and chatted on the sofa, undoubtedly asking about her plans after returning.
"I want to open a photography studio." Xiang Zhilan is a very organized person. If her pregnancy hadn't interrupted her plans, she would have had her own photography studio long ago.
“That’s good. You’ve always wanted your own studio, so you don’t have to worry about the kids. Your dad and I are quite idle after we retired, and we were just worried about having nothing to do. You can leave the kids here when you go to work.” Of course, Xiang’s mother originally wanted them to live here, but the house was really too small. It was fine for a few days, but it wouldn’t be convenient for them to stay long-term. There was no place to even put the kids’ toys.
