Chapter 987: Are You Not Letting Me Go?
However, he had never wondered where his father was, much less his uncle.
The defeated Uncle Cen Mo nodded. “Then, Uncle will help you pack up. I’ll take the chance to teach you how to pack your luggage. Shall we take out everything first?”
The little fellow nodded. He lowered his head and, together with his uncle, took out all his things and put them on the bed.
Cen Mo moved the luggage aside and squatted down. He pointed at Tuan Tuan’s luggage and said, “Look, you don’t need to bring so many sets of pajamas…”
The little one nodded, then obediently walked to Cen Mo’s side. He hugged his knees to his chest and squatted down, watching as Cen Mo placed his things inside his luggage, learning earnestly.
“As for clothes, actually one set will be enough. Because Tuan Tuan’s clothes are at home, right?” Cen Mo set the sweater and jacket on the bed aside.
Tuan Tuan nodded once more. He thought about it, then looked at Cen Mo. “Pajamas… also have!”
Did he mean that he had his pajamas at home too?
“But Tuan Tuan needs to wear them when you sleep on the plane!” Cen Mo said to the child, understanding what Tuan Tuan meant.
Tuan Tuan nodded again.
Very soon, Cen Mo was done packing Tuan Tuan’s things. Originally, Tuan Tuan had thought there wasn’t enough s.p.a.ce in his luggage. But now, his items only occupied 1/4 of the luggage. He looked up at Cen Mo.
“Look, since you have so few things. Then… let’s change it to a backpack. Right, Tuan Tuan?”
The little fellow nodded, like a little chick pecking at rice. He bounced over to retrieve his little backpack.
Tuan Tuan’s backpack was a mini one, so it was a little hard to put in all his stuff.
Cen Mo thought about it, then called out, “Saihand…”
No one answered.
“Saihand…” Cen Mo stood up and shouted outside with a frown.
Still, no one answered. Cen Mo then recalled—right… Saihand had asked to go on leave today.
Turning around, Cen Mo saw that the little fellow was staring at him with his big black eyes. He said, “Uncle will take you to buy a backpack! Your backpack is too small and can’t contain your things!”
“Okay!” Tuan Tuan clapped his hands.
Cen Mo got someone to ask Song Yao if she would like to come along. Song Yao had long been bored stiff from staying at home. This time, thanks to Tuan Tuan, she was able to step out of the house, so she was more than happy to oblige.
Song Yao set down the book in her hands. After changing her clothes, she and Cen Mo took Tuan Tuan to the mall to buy a backpack.
When the child reached the amus.e.m.e.nt park and mall, which were connected, he couldn’t stop running around. With his speed, the pregnant Song Yao clearly couldn’t keep up.
Cen Mo settled Song Yao down at a cafe on the second floor and ordered some hot milk for her. He asked her to rest and think about what to eat. Later, after buying Tuan Tuan his backpack, he would take Song Yao and Tuan Tuan for a meal.
Song Yao nodded. After Cen Mo left with Tuan Tuan, she accidentally saw a baby accessories shop opposite the cafe.
Since becoming pregnant, Song Yao had basically never stepped out of the house, so she hadn’t had the opportunity to shop in a baby accessories shop. Now that she saw one, her heart softened instantly, giving her the urge to go over and take a look.
Before she could take a sip of the hot milk, she got up…
“Madam!” The female bodyguard went up and asked, looking like she was about to stop Song Yao, “Is Madam going to the bathroom?”
“No, I saw a baby accessories shop opposite. I want to go over and take a look…” When Song Yao said this, her smile had dimmed.
“Madam, please hold on. I’ll report to Sir first!” The female bodyguard then pressed the ear mic speaker and told the person on the other end to ask Sir if it was okay for Madam to go over and shop in a baby accessories shop.
Song Yao’s smile turned even fainter now. She slowly sat down, supporting herself against the coffee table. She held the hot gla.s.s of milk in her hand. Despite the hot sensation, she didn’t let go.
The female bodyguard got a reply, then turned around and said to Song Yao, “Madam, Sir said that you can go over…”
Song Yao smiled and nodded but remained seated and didn’t move.
“Madam? Are you still going to the baby accessories shop?” the female bodyguard asked uncertainly.
If Song Yao wanted to go, she had to send some people to check before letting Song Yao go over.
Song Yao lost the enthusiasm she had earlier. She remained seated and didn’t utter a sound. She raised her gla.s.s of milk and took a sip, saying nothing.
The bodyguard didn’t know what Song Yao meant by this. After some pondering, she pressed her ear mic and asked the bodyguard who was supposed to check the shop to come back.
Song Yao rapped against the table inconsistently. After taking a few sips of the milk, she set down the cup and got up…
“Madam?” the female bodyguard asked questioningly.
“Are you not letting me go to the baby accessories shop?” Song Yao asked.
“Of course you can!” The female bodyguard was aware that Song Yao was deliberately making things difficult for her, so her countenance wasn’t too good.
The female bodyguard immediately arranged for someone to check the baby accessories shop.
On the way to the baby accessories shop, Song Yao sighed, then said to her, “Sorry, I wasn’t deliberately making things difficult for you. I just don’t like the feeling of having to obtain permission in everything I do!”
The female bodyguard looked at Song Yao, who had both hands in her pockets, shocked. “Sorry, Madam, it’s my responsibility. If it caused you any unpleasantness, I’m truly sorry!”
“Mm! I know you’re just doing your job, hence the apology!” Song Yao sighed again, feeling that her life was bitter. Why did everyone around her have low EQ? She said, “Next time, let’s change the way we interact, shall we? I’ll tell you if I’m going anywhere, and you can ask Sir, just tell me to wait a while. Don’t keep saying things like you need to ask Sir first. This makes me feel that without his permission, I’m not allowed to go anywhere. Okay?”
The female bodyguard looked confused.
“I’m his wife, not his convict. Although I know he’s concerned about me because I’m pregnant, I don’t like this feeling, can you understand?” Song Yao’s expression was sincere.
The female bodyguard nodded. “Okay, Madam…”
After the conversation, Song Yao entered the baby accessories shop and saw those pretty little shoes and clothes. She was a little tired and didn’t feel like walking. The sales a.s.sistant could tell that Song Yao was a rich man’s wife from her clothes. Seeing the bodyguard by her side, she was even more sure. She hurriedly went up. “h.e.l.lo, Madam, how can I help you?”
“Sorry, I want to look at things a baby would need. I don’t know such things well!”
Song Yao had a blissful glow on her face when she spoke. The experienced sales a.s.sistant could tell that Song Yao was buying for her own baby, so she quickly said, “Congrats! It’s like this… when the little angel is born, there are many things needed. What have you already purchased for your angel who is about to arrive?”
