Su Qing affectionately nuzzled Yan Luo's face.
"Good boy, get up quickly."
Yanluo buried her head in Su Qing's arms.
The voice was muffled.
"Call me 'husband brother' and give me a kiss, and I'll get up."
Su Qing pouted.
"How old are you? Why are you still acting like a child?"
Su Qing cupped Yan Luo's face in her hands and gently kissed his lips.
They kissed for a short while before separating.
Su Qing met Yan Luo's gaze with eyes full of love.
"Husband, brother."
Yan Luo was completely stunned.
Su Qing called out several more times.
As if struck by Cupid's arrow, Yan Luo cupped Su Qing's face and kissed her.
"Qingqing, how can you be so cute?"
I love you so much.
Su Qing smiled and patted Yan Luo's head.
"Me too."
In the midst of ordinary days, two loving hearts draw closer and merge.
"Stop making a fuss. Xue'er just said that Jingjing's parents are coming over."
"I'll leave it to you to handle."
Yan Luo immediately stood up, stood at attention, her eyes firm, and saluted with her right hand.
"Yes, Commander Su!"
Su Qing also got out of bed and saluted Yan Luo.
"Charge!! Brave warriors!!"
Lu Zhiyuan and Dai Xilin arrived at the house.
Yanluo received the two on the first floor.
It was exactly 10 p.m.
Looking into the room from the doorway, Dai Xilin saw only a bulging blanket.
Tu Luoxue stood to the side.
"Auntie, don't worry, Jing'er's temperature has returned to normal, she's just asleep."
Dai Xilin forced a smile.
"Then let her sleep well."
Downstairs, Yan Luo was entertaining Lu Jiajing's father, Lu Zhiyuan.
Because there were many girls upstairs, Lu Zhiyuan did not choose to go upstairs, but instead asked his wife to check on their daughter.
Seeing his wife come down, Lu Zhiyuan stood up, his face filled with barely concealed anxiety.
"How about it?"
Dai Xilin gave Lu Zhiyuan a reassuring smile.
"It's nothing, he just fell asleep."
Tu Luoxue followed behind Dai Xilin. Dai Xilin sat down next to her husband, while Tu Luoxue sat down next to Yanluo.
Yanluo used tweezers to bring two cups of tea to Lu Zhiyuan and Dai Xilin.
"Lu Sheng, Jia Jing's mother, have some tea."
Lu Zhiyuan nodded, looking at Yan Luo with gratitude.
"Yansheng, thank you so much for taking care of Jiajing all this time. Her mother and I are busy and rarely home, so we rarely take care of her."
Lu Zhiyuan is, after all, the most capable real estate developer in Guangzhou, and his ability to judge people is impeccable.
The young man in front of me looks very young, yet he possesses such a detached and otherworldly air about him.
When Lu Zhiyuan's gaze met Yan Luo's, the depth in Yan Luo's eyes was unfathomable to the middle-aged man.
Yanluo gestured for the couple to drink tea again, and then picked up her own teacup.
The tea was a little hot, so Yanlu blew on it to cool it down.
Tu Luoxue's movements were synchronized with Yan Luo's; they blew on the tea together and drank it together.
They then poured a little tea from the bottom of the cup onto the wooden tea tray before setting the cup down.
Yanluo picked up the cups from the two of them and said.
"Mr. Lu, don't be so polite. My child is friends with Jiajing, and we're neighbors too. It's no trouble for me to take care of her."
Lu Zhiyuan chuckled a few times and looked at Tu Luoxue.
"Luo Xue is very beautiful, like a fairy in a storybook. Thank you for taking care of Jia Jing."
Tu Luoxue responded with a smile.
"Uncle, you're too kind. It's my honor to have a friend like Jingjing."
Dai Xilin became more and more satisfied with Tu Luoxue. Why was her own daughter?
I wonder which rascal will end up with such a pretty girl.
"Uncle and Aunt, you should pay more attention to Jingjing."
“I understand that you are all busy with work, but I still hope that you can spend more time with her.”
Tu Luoxue looked intently at Lu Zhiyuan and Dai Xilin with her amber eyes.
Lu Zhiyuan lowered his head in remorse.
Dai Xilin's eyes immediately dimmed.
Yanlu rinsed the teacups with hot water, poured two cups of fresh tea, and placed them in front of the couple.
(Normally, it doesn't need cleaning; the person making the tea will hand over the cup to the other person. Anyway, I always rinse it with hot water when I make tea because I'm a bit of a germaphobe.)
“Lu Sheng, Jia Jing’s mother.”
"What your child has always wanted is your company. You have missed too much. Now that your child is grown up, it's not too late."
"You should all show her more care and concern."
Lu Zhiyuan wiped his face with his hand.
“I understand, I need to be more careful in the future. My wife and I missed out on the most important years of our child’s life.”
“I even have to send my assistant to the parent-teacher conferences. I’m such a failure as a father.”
Dai Xilin remained silent, her mind filled with images of how she had neglected her daughter.
This doesn't mean they don't love their children; it just means they neglect them in order to provide them with better material conditions.
While pursuing their dreams and careers, they can create a better environment for their children.
Lu Zhiyuan and Dai Xilin were not at fault.
It's not too late; everything can still be made up for.
After leaving Yanluo's house, Lu Zhiyuan took his wife's hand and walked towards their home across the street.
"Honey, let's cancel tomorrow's plans and take Jing'er out to play. She has to go back to school the day after tomorrow."
Lu Zhiyuan inquired about Dai Xilin's opinion.
Dai Xilin nodded without hesitation.
"Okay, let's go home, take a shower, and go to sleep. We'll get up early tomorrow."
Yanluo watched the two figures disappear into the distance, a smile playing on her lips as she walked into the courtyard and closed the large iron gate.
Back in the living room on the first floor, Lu Jiajing and Tu Luoxue were sitting on the sofa.
"Jing'er, you're not asleep?"
Yan Luo discovered Lu Jiajing.
Chi Miaomiao took the baby to bed, and Su Qing, Bai Ningbing, and Tu Keke also went downstairs.
Lu Jiajing scratched her head and chuckled.
"I woke up when my mother arrived, but I resisted the urge to get up."
Lu Jiajing was excited about her parents' arrival, but at the same time, a sense of grievance welled up in her heart.
Yanluo's words kept echoing in her mind.
“With me, you don’t need to be so sensible. Just be yourself.”
So, feeling wronged, Lu Jiajing acted a little willfully and didn't get up immediately.
In Lu Jiajing's heart, she has always understood and tolerated her parents.
Yanluo sat down with a smile and began to tidy up the tea tray.
Su Qing sat down next to Lu Jiajing.
"Jingjing, is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Lu Jiajing shook her head and took Su Qing's hand.
"I'm alright now, Sister Qing."
Su Qing nodded and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Lu Jiajing's eyes darted around, and she said shyly.
"A little."
Su Qing smiled and patted Lu Jiajing's head.
"Where are Coco and Xue'er?"
Tu Keke ate, of course, but Tu Luoxue didn't eat much for dinner either.
"Then let's cook some noodles."
Bai Ningbing also got up with Su Qing.
"I'll help you."
The two women walked hand in hand toward the kitchen.
Yanluo watched the two beauties' retreating figures and thought to himself, "How wonderful."
Seeing that Yan Luo was staring at Su Qing and Bai Ningbing, Tu Luoxue squeezed closer to Yan Luo out of jealousy.
Lu Jiajing looked at Yan Luo and Tu Luoxue with great interest.
Xuexue is so cute when she's jealous!
I'm going to really rough her up when she goes to sleep!
Hehehehe—
