Chapter 204: Picking Up
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang An paused for a moment. She carried Jiang Yu out of the cloakroom and placed her on the bed. When she saw Jiang Yu smiling and clapping, a trace of guilt flashed across her face. Ever since Jiang Yu called Zou Bai ‘daddy1 for the first time, her small mouth would occasionally call for ‘daddy’. Even Jiang Yi began to call for ‘daddy’.
Jiang Yu was very puzzled. Why could the small animals on television see their father every day, but she and her brother could not? So when she occasionally thought of it, she would shout.
At this moment, because of the children’s conscious actions, Jiang An began to doubt her decision to get a divorce. Because she could not tolerate it, Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi could only stay in this family without a father and an incomplete relationship. The children were still young, so they were just shouting. If they were older, would they blame her?
Jiang An’s emotions were complicated. She stroked Jiang Yu’s soft hair. For the first time, she was shaken in her determination to get a divorce.
Jiang An’s depressed mood did not last long before it was interrupted by the ringing of the phone. When Jiang An saw that it was an unfamiliar number, she picked up the call. “h.e.l.lo.”
Zou Bai’s voice came from the other end of the line. “An’an, I’m at your door. Bring Jiang Yu out.”
Jiang An looked puzzled. “Why are you here?!”
Zou Bai replied, “Aren’t you filming the advertis.e.m.e.nt today? I’ll pick you up.”
Jiang An looked at her daughter, who was looking up at her with sparkling eyes, and said, “Okay, wait a moment.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang An wanted to travel back to the second before she agreed. However, the words had already left her mouth. Jiang An closed her eyes and slapped her mouth.
“What’s that sound?” Zou Bai heard the slapping sound and asked with a slight frown.
Jiang An opened her eyes and immediately replied, “It’s nothing. I’ll pack my things now.”
Zou Bai said, “Take your time. You don’t have to rush.”
Jiang An hung up the phone and bent down to look into her daughter’s eyes. Looking at her ignorant and bright eyes, she smiled and reached out her index finger to gently tap Jiang Yu’s forehead. “You really have Mr. Zou’s heart. I don’t think he’s picking me up. He must be afraid that I won’t bring you along, so he specially came to pick you up.”
Jiang Yu didn’t understand, but that didn’t stop her from smiling back when she saw her mother’s smile. Her mouth was so wide that she could see a few white baby teeth popping out from her gums, making her look even more adorable.
Jiang An squatted down and looked at Jiang Yu. She said gently, “When you see Mr. Zou today, you’re not allowed to call him Daddy. Otherwise, I won’t bring you out anymore. Nod if you understand.”
Jiang Yu’s black eyes darted around. Jiang An didn’t know if she understood, but she saw Jiang Yu nod anyway.
Jiang An looked at Jiang Yu’s adorable face and couldn’t help but kiss her little face. Then, she turned around and called Aunt Sang, who was waiting at the door, in. “I’m going to take Jiang Yu out now. Take her to change and prepare the bag to go out. We’ll set off immediately.”
Aunt Sang quickly picked up Jiang Yu from the bed and said, “Okay, do you want me to get you something to eat?”
Jiang An quickly waved her hand. “No need.”
Jiang An quickly changed her clothes and did a simple skincare routine. She did not put on any makeup because she still had to put on makeup for the advertis.e.m.e.nt shoot when she arrived at the venue.
When Jiang An went downstairs, she saw that Aunt Sang had already packed her things in the baby-care bag and was carrying them on her back. Jiang Yu also sat in the pram and waited in the living room. She looked excited about going out. “Brother… go.”
Jiang An went forward to push the pram. She was a little surprised that her domineering daughter seemed to know how to take care of her brother recently. “It’s rare that you’re still thinking about your brother. He’s still sleeping. He won’t go today.”
When Jiang Yu heard the word “won’t go”, she frowned. However, when the pram left the small building’s door, she became excited again. She clapped twice and even turned to look at Jiang An. She stretched out her little finger and pointed in the direction of the Jiang family’s door, looking eager to see the outside world.
Jiang An had already told Li Mei yesterday that she was going to shoot an advertis.e.m.e.nt today, so she walked around the main building from the garden and went straight to the door.
When Zou Bai saw the mother and daughter, he got out of the driver’s seat and walked forward.
When Jiang Yu saw Zou Bai, she didn’t remember what Jiang An had told her previously. After all, she hadn’t completely understood what she had said just now.. When she saw the person she missed, she immediately greeted him warmly and loudly, “Daddy!”
