He Jiuniang knew that Gou'er was still traumatized by what happened with Lu Baichuan last time, which was why he was so attached to his parents. This was also a way for a child to show concern for adults.
"Don't worry, Father and Mother will definitely come back safely."
He Jiuniang hugged the dog, her voice exceptionally gentle.
The dog nodded and didn't say anything more.
He really wanted to go with his parents, but he knew they weren't going for fun; they were going to take care of important matters. All he could do was not cause them any trouble and wait for them to come back at home.
"Sweetie, don't miss us at home. Just focus on your studies with your older brothers and sisters. We'll take you to Beijing for fun sometime, okay?"
He Jiuniang noticed his low spirits and gently comforted him.
"Yes! I will definitely study hard."
The dog nodded; he would be an obedient child.
Lu Baichuan noticed that every time he went out, it was his wife who was soothing the children. As the father, he didn't know what to say and felt a little guilty. So he said, "When Daddy comes back, I'll take you riding horses!"
He Jiuniang: ...
Dog: ...
He Jiuniang rolled her eyes. What I'm saying is, can we get a new cake painting?
This precious, tender moment was ruined by this silly man.
Seeing his wife roll her eyes, Lu Baichuan, unaware of his mistake, innocently asked, "What's wrong?"
He said the same thing before, and his wife and son were very happy. Why is it different this time?
He Jiuniang ignored him, hugged her son tightly, and said, "Let's ignore him and go to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow!"
The dog chuckled in response and obediently closed its eyes in He Jiuniang's arms.
My father and mother are both doing well, and I hope their family can stay together forever.
Oh, it would be even better if there was a little sister too!
Soon, the dog fell asleep. Lu Baichuan carried him to the other side, then snuggled up next to He Jiuniang, asking with a wronged expression, "Wife, why were you unhappy just now?"
What do you think?
He Jiuniang was also a little sleepy, her voice was languid, and she seemed very unwilling to pay attention to him.
"I really don't know, honey, please tell me, I'll change!"
He's not very good at interacting with children, and he knows he's letting his dog down, so he's been trying to learn.
Now that a problem has been discovered, it's natural to ask questions to clarify the situation and prevent it from happening again in the future.
He Jiuniang was only willing to talk to him because of his good attitude, so she said, "Every time you go out, you tell the child you're going to ride a big horse. Once or twice is fine, the child will look forward to it, but if you say it every time, the child will lose interest in your reward and naturally won't do what you ask. Think about it carefully, when you said these things to your son before, didn't he happily agree and say that he would definitely be obedient? But tonight he didn't say anything. This will make the son feel that his father doesn't care about him anymore and is always using this kind of excuse to brush him off."
"Oh, I see. No wonder he seemed a little unhappy. I won't say that next time."
Lu Baichuan smiled kindly, his hand under the covers reaching out to hug his wife.
"Stop bothering me, our son is still here, we have to travel tomorrow, go to sleep!"
He Jiuniang pushed his hand away, looking quite disgusted.
Lu Baichuan: ...
Didn't we already say we were going by that big mechanical bird? Of course we can leave tonight. We'll be there in no time, so what's the rush?
But though he thought this in his heart, he didn't dare say it aloud and whispered, "I'll just hold you and not do anything else."
He Jiuniang opened one eye to look at him and said lazily, "Whatever."
Lu Baichuan was finally able to hold his wife and go to sleep.
I was originally thinking of doing something naughty, but seeing how quickly my wife reacted, I immediately chickened out. I'd better behave myself, or I'll get kicked off the bed again soon.
The next morning, the couple personally took Gou'er and the others to the academy for class, mainly to take care of Gou'er's feelings.
This time, Lu Baichuan was smarter and said, "Stay home and wait for me and Mother to come back. When I return, I will test your martial arts skills. If you pass the test, I will teach you a new sword technique."
Upon hearing this, not only Gou'er, but the other kids also had their eyes sparkling.
"good!"
He Jiuniang smiled with satisfaction, thinking that Lu Baichuan had performed very well.
Then she'll give him a big gift later.
On the bus, Gou'er was still a pitiful little boy who couldn't bear to part with his parents, but when they arrived at the academy gate, Gou'er refused to let Lu Baichuan and his wife get out of the bus no matter what.
He felt that he was already grown up, and it was embarrassing that his parents still sent him to the academy. He must not let his teachers and classmates know.
Seeing her son's face turn red with anxiety, He Jiuniang found him incredibly adorable. If they weren't outside, she would definitely have gone up and pinched his cheeks.
"Alright, Mommy won't tease you anymore, go on your way!"
He Jiuniang rubbed his little head and told him to get off the car quickly.
The dog didn't get out of the car and leave immediately. Instead, it ran over and kissed He Jiuniang on the cheek before preparing to run away.
"And what about me?"
Lu Baichuan grabbed him, saying, "You brat, you can't show favoritism!"
The dog then kissed him on the cheek before happily following his brothers into the academy.
When I got home, I was inevitably given a lecture.
Of course, this time it was Sun who was giving them instructions.
The old lady prepared a lot of dry food for them to eat on the road, and made them take everything with them, as if they were not going on business, but on vacation.
Looking at the pile of luggage in the yard, He Jiuniang almost wanted to tell her the truth, but fortunately she held back.
"The world is not peaceful, so please be careful on the road! You two are both stubborn, but don't be reckless if you encounter danger. Don't forget that the dog is waiting for you to come back!"
As she spoke, Sun's voice choked with emotion. She recalled the time she saw her third son off when he left home years ago, and how he had been gone for so many years.
Although her son and daughter-in-law are very capable now, they also have many enemies. They have only just dealt with the Tan family, and there are still countless people who hold a grudge against them. What if they are plotted against?
"Understood. We value our lives, so please don't worry. We'll be back soon after we've dealt with things in the capital!"
He Jiuniang knew that he was worried about their safety, so she didn't tease him, but responded gently instead.
Lu Baichuan echoed his sentiments, and the two of them finally got rid of their pile of luggage and rode away on horseback.
Although they set off at midday, the two calmly entered the deep mountains. Finding a clearing, He Jiuniang took out a helicopter from her spatial storage, jumped on first, and then gestured to Lu Baichuan with her chin: "Come on up!"
Lu Baichuan was shocked. In broad daylight, he was going to sit on this thing. Wasn't his wife worried about being recognized?
