Xiao Bai rubbed at his palms uneasily before asking carefully, “Auntie, do you know my mummy?”
Qian Xun’s expression froze up as she looked at that antic.i.p.ating look on Xiao Bai’s face before replying coldly, “No.”
Instantly, Xiao Bai’s face was replaced with an expression of disappointment.
“Don’t you know who your mummy is?” When everyone spoke about how the mother of a grandson of the Lus was a mystery, Qian Xun had always thought that it was nothing but a rumor. But, could it be true? If so, how? Qian Xun could not make head or tails of it.
“I don’t know… I don’t think I have a mummy.” Xiao Bai’s face was entirely dejected right now.
“How could you have no mummy?” Qian Xun looked at him skeptically.
“Daddy said that I have no mummy.” Xiao Bai’s tone was quivering at this point, showing his misery as he played with his fingers with a lowered head.
Qian Xun was even more skeptical right now.
Wasn’t their relations.h.i.+p really good back then? And she was not dead either. If that were the case, why did Lu Yanzhi not marry her, and even told Xiao Bai that he had no mummy? This was way too strange. Just what happened?
She asked indifferently, “Then, does your daddy treat you well?”
“He loves me, but he’s a little too fierce at times, and loves to throw his temper and scold me out of nowhere.”
Qian Xun chuckled out. “Someone with a bad temper is really annoying, isn’t it?”
Agreeing to it wholeheartedly, Xiao Bai nodded his head continuously. The two of them looked at one another and laughed.
Looking at how Qian Xun was laughing and feeling as though she was liking him more, Xiao Bai remarked boldly, “Auntie, I’m hungry.”
Qian Xun checked out the time—it was almost 5pm, and time for dinner. Why was s.h.i.+ Guang not back yet?
She gave s.h.i.+ Guang a call, but the connection was hung on the other end. Before long, s.h.i.+ Guang texted.
Qian Xun stood up. “Your little auntie will need a little while more before she’s back.”
She headed into the kitchen and looked around—she had finished all the dishes earlier on, and there was only a little porridge left that was cold by now.
Forget it! It’s easier to just take him out to eat.
Qian Xun headed upstairs for a change of clothes, and after helping Xiao Bai wear a coat, she drove around to look for a Cantonese restaurant nearby. Children should not consume too much spicy food, and thus, Cantonese cuisine was the most suitable.
However, Xiao Bai said that he wanted to have hotpot. Qian Xun then booked a small room in a hotpot restaurant before texting the address to s.h.i.+ Guang and asking her to come pick Xiao Bai here after she was done.
The tables were really high, such that even when Xiao Bai sat on the chair, his short hands could barely reach the dishes and food. Noticing his small little actions, Qian Xun helped him take the food and even cooked them in the hotpot for him, asking him what he wanted.
Xiao Bai looked at her sweetly. “Auntie, actually, you’re quite nice!”
Qian Xun smiled before her expression darkened again. “Hadn’t you said that I was really annoying and was a bad woman the other time around?”
“Sorry, auntie!”
“Alright, alright… I’ll forgive you! What else do you want to eat?”
“Tofu, prawns, eggs…”
Even after both of them were about done, s.h.i.+ Guang had not arrived. But, before Qian Xun could even give her a text, she saw a notification of a headline flas.h.i.+ng on her phone screen.
Instantly, she clicked on it.
Attached was a picture that, despite being unclear, was enough to make out as her and Xiao Bai.
