Dai Xilin said guiltily.
"Sigh, I didn't spend enough time with her when she was little, and now that she's grown up, she doesn't tell us many things anymore."
"We are such a failure as parents."
Yanluo comforted her.
"Don't feel guilty. Jiajing understands you. You've worked so hard to give her a better life."
The more Yanluo spoke, the more distressed Dai Xilin felt.
Over the years, we have indeed spent very little time with our daughter. Sometimes, her father and I don't come back for holidays.
Even on Lu Jiajing's birthday, the two of them might not come back.
Dai Xilin has been struggling with whether her decision to reduce the time she spends with her children in order to pursue her career and dreams was the right one.
It's all her father's fault. If he hadn't always supported her, she would have had time to spend with her daughter.
Just kidding, just kidding.
But this is ultimately a difficult problem, and no matter how it is solved, there will always be regrets.
It's a pity that the couple didn't choose to have children.
Lu Jiajing was listening to Tu Luoxue explain the function problem to her.
"nice girl."
Hearing the familiar call, Lu Jiajing subconsciously looked up and saw her mother, whom she hadn't seen for more than two months.
"Mother!"
"You're back?"
Lu Jiajing rushed into Dai Xilin's arms and nuzzled her mother affectionately.
Dai Xilin affectionately stroked her daughter's head.
"Yes, Mom's work has temporarily come down, and she'll come back to be with you as soon as possible."
"Your aunt said you were at your classmate's house, but it turned out to be just across the street, so your mom came to look for you."
Tu Luoxue stepped forward and greeted them.
"Hello, Auntie, I'm Jing'er's classmate, Tu Luoxue."
"It's a pleasure to meet you. You are even more beautiful and elegant than in the photos."
Dai Xilin has seen many beautiful girls over the years, but she has never seen a girl as stunningly beautiful as Tu Luoxue with such an ethereal quality.
Dai Xilin smiled.
"Hello, Xuexue, you must be the mixed-race classmate Jiajing mentioned to me, right? You're so beautiful, just like a doll."
"Does Jiajing from our family often cause you trouble?"
Tu Luoxue shook her head and said seriously.
"Jing'er is a very good person. You and Uncle have done a great job in raising her. I am honored to be friends with Jing'er."
Dai Xilin became more and more satisfied with Tu Luoxue; such a perfect child was a rare sight.
Separating her daughter, Dai Xilin tenderly tidied Lu Jiajing's hair.
"Honey, are you and Xuexue doing your homework?"
Lu Jiajing nodded.
"Rest this afternoon, and Mom will take you out to play, okay?"
Lu Jiajing hesitated for a moment and looked at Tu Luoxue.
Tu Luoxue smiled sweetly.
"Have fun with Auntie."
Lu Jiajing nodded, took her mother's hand, and went home to pack their things before going out to play.
Yan Luo and Tu Luoxue watched Lu Jiajing and Dai Xilin leave.
Yan Luo patted Tu Luoxue's head.
"Does Xue'er want to go out and play?"
Tu Luoxue shook her head.
"I don't really want to. I want to sleep for a while. Will you stay with me?"
Yan Luo smiled indulgently.
"good."
The two lay on the same bed for the first time in a long time, and Tu Luoxue quickly fell asleep.
She clung tightly to Yanluo's clothes like an insecure kitten.
After seeing that Tu Luoxue had fallen asleep, Yan Luo gently freed herself, covered the girl with a blanket, and left the room.
Tu Yier was also taking a nap. Su Qing, who had rewarded Yan Luo last night, slept with the little one.
Chi Miaomiao, Tu Keke, and Xu Rongyue, two girls, sat on the carpet watching anime, while Bai Ningbing quietly read a book.
Yan Luo moved closer to Bai Ningbing and took her delicate, white hand, which was as white as mutton fat jade, in his own hands.
Bai Ningbing rolled her eyes at Yan Luo and continued reading her book.
It's gloomy outside; it looks like it's going to rain tonight.
It started raining around 3 p.m.
The heavy rain came in a hurry, but it didn't leave in a hurry.
Tu Luoxue woke up after a short nap and found that Yan Luo was not beside her, which made her a little angry.
He needs to be taught a lesson.
Tu Luoxue went to the bathroom in the master bedroom to use the toilet, and then left the master bedroom.
It's pouring rain outside; this kind of weather is perfect for staying indoors.
Tu Yier and her aunt were still sleeping.
Tu Luoxue sat down next to Yan Luo.
A comb appeared out of thin air in Yan Luo's hand, and she gently combed Tu Luoxue's hair.
"Should I tie it up?"
Tu Luoxue shook her head.
"It's okay, it's not hot."
Looking at the weather outside, Tu Luoxue was a little worried.
"I wonder if Jing'er will be able to have a good time with her mother, the rain is quite heavy."
Just as I finished speaking, the doorbell rang.
Yanluo came to the door with an umbrella, and Lu Jiajing, who was soaked by the rain, was standing outside.
Yanluo hurriedly opened the door and brought Lu Jiajing back into the house.
Seeing that Lu Jiajing was soaking wet, Tu Luoxue rushed to the bathroom cabinet, grabbed a large towel, and then rushed downstairs.
A large towel was placed over the girl's body. Lu Jiajing could no longer suppress her emotions and hugged Tu Luoxue, crying bitterly.
"Xue'er—"
Tu Luoxue hugged Lu Jiajing tenderly and asked her gently.
"What's wrong, Jing'er? Why are you crying and coming back in the rain?"
Lu Jiajing choked up as she recounted the reason.
I went out with my mom in the afternoon and had afternoon tea at a coffee shop.
Dai Xilin received a call from the studio saying that there was a problem with the design drawings and that she urgently needed to go back and deal with it in person.
Lu Jiajing, being sensible, told Dai Xilin to go back.
Dai Xilin could only apologize profusely to her daughter before driving back to her studio.
Lu Jiajing stood outside the coffee shop, her mood plummeting, and then the heavy rain began to fall.
The girl walked back step by step, lost in thought.
When she walked back, only she knew whether the water on her face was tears or rain.
Tu Luoxue took Lu Jiajing to take a hot bath to avoid catching a cold.
Chi Miaomiao took Lu Jiajing's pajamas from the room, put them in the bathroom, and then returned to the small living room.
She said indignantly, "Is work really more important than children?"
"How often do you come back, and why is it like this? How heartbroken Jing'er must be."
Chi Miaomiao sat down next to Yan Luo and pinched Yan Luo's thigh.
Yan Luo didn't feel anything, but she could sense that Chi Miaomiao was angry with Lu Jiajing.
Lu Jiajing is a very good girl.
She is very sensible and well-behaved.
But what child is sensible from the very beginning?
It's just that the environment or a certain event shaped a sensible child.
The sensible child doesn't get candy.
If Lu Jiajing had pleaded with Dai Xilin to stay, whether Dai Xilin would have stayed is another question entirely.
Perhaps, like most parents, he would scold Lu Jiajing before leaving.
Ironically, Lu Jiajing's decision to allow her mother to leave was the greatest harm she could do to herself.
Lu Jiajing's desire was simple: just her parents' company.
Over the years, she had long since gotten used to it.
Tu Luoxue pulled Lu Jiajing out of the bathroom; Lu Jiajing had already calmed down.
Tu Keke, carrying a hairdryer, accompanied her two older sisters back to their room along with Xu Rongyue.
Yan Luo sighed, went downstairs and boiled some brown sugar ginger soup to help Lu Jiajing dispel the cold and warm her stomach.
Chi Miaomiao escorted her into the room.
Yanluo isn't very good at handling such situations, which is when the all-powerful Teacher Miaomiao comes to the rescue.
