Chapter 994: I Got It
Song Yao could guess what the little fellow was thinking, so she asked, “You’re thinking of getting takeaway for Mama but are afraid Papa will scold you?”
Tuan Tuan nodded, gazing at Song Yao with his large watery eyes.
“Then just get the takeaway. We won’t tell Papa and Mama that you were the one who bought the takeaway. Just say…” Song Yao looked at Cen Mo. “Let’s tell Papa and Mama a white lie, okay? Just say Uncle bought it for you, but you know Papa is trying to get you to lose weight, so you didn’t eat it and left it for Mama. Okay?”
But Mama said good kids didn’t lie…
Tuan Tuan had an internal struggle.
“Not wanting to tell a white lie means Tuan Tuan is a good kid. Never mind…” Song Yao reached out to stroke Tuan Tuan on his furry head and said, “You can tell the truth too. Just pin the blame on your uncle, say it was Uncle who insisted you eat it! Or say Aunt insisted on coming here to eat! It wasn’t Tuan Tuan who said you wanted to come here anyway… so this isn’t considered lying!”
Cen Mo was rendered speechless.
“Then… say Tuan Tuan only… ate one slice!” Tuan Tuan stuck up one chubby finger earnestly.
Song Yao smiled and extended her little finger. “Okay, Tuan Tuan only ate one slice! Let’s hook little fingers. This is a little secret between Uncle, Aunt, and Tuan Tuan. No one is to say anything!”
Tuan Tuan thought about it, then solemnly extended his chubby hand and hooked little fingers with Song Yao.
“Seal the promise with a stamp, to remain unchanged for a century!” Song Yao recited a slogan she used to say as a kid to her little friends.
Tuan Tuan turned around and looked at Cen Mo, then stuck up his little finger, waiting for Cen Mo to hook his finger with him!
Cen Mo was rendered speechless.
So childish…
Song Yao cast a meaningful glance towards Cen Mo, as if asking him if he still wanted to get closer to Tuan Tuan.
Cen Mo sighed, then extended his little finger and, with a grim face, hooked fingers with an earnest Tuan Tuan. “Seal the promise with a stamp, to remain unchanged for a century!”
Although the little fellow couldn’t speak eloquently, he recited what he just learned pretty well.
Cen Mo smiled and stroked the little one on his head. He then the staff to bring some pizza for Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an before taking Tuan Tuan home.
Saihand, who was summoned home for no reason, had been waiting there, confused, for he had no idea what had happened.
When he asked the servants, they had no idea either. They only said that Cen Mo and Song Yao took Tuan Tuan to the mall to buy a school bag.
Previously, Saihand had already reached the filming location. Little Lu said that Mr. Fu had given him the day off. Saihand very happily wanted to treat Little Lu to a meal, to extend the hospitality of a host. The duo was on the way to the restaurant when Saihand was summoned home with a phone call. He had no choice but to dump Little Lu by the roadside apologetically.
It was only when Saihand received a call from his subordinate, saying Cen Mo wanted to make sure that Su Huan couldn’t return to China, that he managed to guess that the urgency of this matter had something to do with Song Yao.
In the past, Saihand had helped Cen Mo handle Su Huan’s matters. More accurately speaking, the Su family’s affairs…
At the time, Cen Mo had his eye on Song Yao and wanted to force her to comply. Other than messing with Song Yao’s work matters and people around her, he also fixed the Su family!
Saihand, who had been waiting for Cen Mo at home, saw Cen Mo and Song Yao walking in with Tuan Tuan, so he quickly went up. “Sir… what instructions do you have for me?”
“Let’s talk later…” Cen Mo casually handed the pizza to a servant, then turned to look at Song Yao. “Help Tuan Tuan place the items in his luggage into the backpack!”
Song Yao nodded. “Okay…”
“Let’s go, Tuan Tuan!” Song Yao extended a hand to Tuan Tuan.
The little fellow held Song Yao’s index finger and jubilantly went upstairs with Song Yao.
Cen Mo stared at Song Yao and Tuan Tuan’s back views, his gaze distant…
Only once Song Yao and Tuan Tuan’s back views disappeared from sight did Saihand ask in a hushed voice, “Sir?”
Cen Mo walked towards the door with both hands in his pockets, and Saihand followed closely behind.
“That fellow called Su Huan, go check on the reason he’s anxious to go back home. Within two hours!” Cen Mo said at the door.
Saihand nodded. “Okay, Sir!”
“Also…” Cen Mo turned his head sideways and whispered something in Saihand’s ear.
Saihand was a little surprised, but he still instantly nodded. “I got it, Sir!”
After Saihand left, Cen Mo took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. With one hand in his pocket, he took a deep puff and exhaled white smoke, then bit the cigarette and took out the wallet from his pocket, opening it. Through the white smoke, he stared at the photo of Su Huan and Song Yao, a cold look in his eyes.
Cen Mo had always known Song Yao was a smart girl!
Although he was tickled by Song Yao’s “l.u.s.t at first sight,” he still disliked the fact that Song Yao didn’t mention the wallet…
He disliked that, until now… that Su Huan still dared to have designs on Song Yao!
Since this Su Huan fellow was seeking death, Cen Mo didn’t mind sending him on his way.
He took out the photo of Song Yao and Su Huan from the wallet and tore it from the middle, leaving only Song Yao’s half, which he slipped into his pocket. He tore the other half with Su Huan into shreds and tossed it into the trashcan at the entryway together with the wallet. After, he went to wash his hands in the bathroom with an indifferent gaze.
Song Yao and Tuan Tuan were squatting before Tuan Tuan’s luggage. She was listening to Tuan Tuan introduce his clothes to her when she heard Cen Mo opening the door…
It was time for Song Yao’s afternoon nap. Cen Mo asked Song Yao to go have her nap, while he kept Tuan Tuan company!
Since she got pregnant, Cen Mo designated time for Song Yao to rest. Apart from sudden incidents or if they had guests at home, for the sake of the baby in her tummy, Song Yao cooperated with the rest time Cen Mo arranged for her.
After Song Yao exited Tuan Tuan’s room and closed the door, she saw the female bodyguard who stood at the top of the stairs. She looked uneasy.
Seeing Song Yao come out, the female bodyguard took two steps towards her. She seemed like she had something to say but had difficulty saying it…
Song Yao knitted her brows. She recalled the wallet she handed to the female bodyguard, which she asked her to throw away for her, and began walking towards her. “Is something the matter?”
“Madam, the wallet you asked me to throw away, Sir knows about it… Sir has taken it away!” The female bodyguard apologized to Song Yao uneasily. “Sorry, Madam, I couldn’t throw it away in time. But I didn’t say anything extra. Your conversation with that man, I told Sir I heard nothing…”
Song Yao’s heart skipped a beat. Recalling the photo, she felt uneasy.
For her conversation with Su Huan, there really wasn’t anything to hide from Cen Mo. It would have been better if the female bodyguard had simply said it. Her not saying a word about it… would be terrible!
“I got it, never mind… you can go and rest first!” Song Yao said distractedly.
Seeing that something wasn’t quite right with Song Yao’s expression, the female bodyguard was a little worried. She hesitantly walked downstairs…
“Wait!” Song Yao suddenly called after her.
“Madam, what orders do you have for me?” the female bodyguard asked.
