Tao Zhiyao rushed to the school. From a distance, she saw Tao Xiaotao carrying a schoolbag and standing at the school gate with a calm expression. There were obviously so many children finishing get out of class at the same time, but in the vast sea of people, she saw Xiaotao at a glance. , as if standing out.
Tao Zhiyao was worried that he had waited too long, so she called his name and waved, and walked towards the crowd.
Tao Xiaotao had always kept a sullen face and lowered her head, saying nothing.
However, when he heard the familiar shout, he immediately raised his head, his eyes shining brightly.
"Mommy!" Tao Xiaotao raised a bright smile and waved to Tao Zhiyao.
Tao Zhiyao saw that he had noticed her, slowed down and walked towards him with a smile.
However, halfway through, Tao Zhiyao's expression changed a little. She was too far away just now, and she could only vaguely see a small figure next to Tao Xiaotao. At this time, she walked over and saw clearly that little figure.
The figure turned out to be the little girl they went to have dinner with Gong Ruocang that day. She remembered that her name was Lian'er, that she liked Xiao Tao very much, that she was Gong Ruocang's niece, and that she was extremely favored by him.
It was too late for Tao Zhiyao to hide. Lian'er had already looked at her slightly doubtfully, then looked at Tao Xiaotao, and asked innocently: "Brother Xiaotao, is that aunt your mommy?" Brother Xiaotao, isn't it?
Does he say that his mommy is very beautiful? Although he likes this aunt very much, she is really not beautiful, and is a bit ugly.
After he was so excited to see his mommy and shouted, he suddenly realized that the problem was that Tao Xiaotao had stopped talking at this time. He was not sure whether his mommy wanted to recognize him when he was around Lian'er. He was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to his mommy.
Trouble.
Just like that day in front of that uncle.
However, Tao Zhiyao, who originally wanted to escape, felt a pain in his heart when he saw Tao Xiaotao lowering his head and his eyes darkened instantly. He would never let Xiaotao be hurt like that by not recognizing him again.
Tao Zhiyao smiled slightly, walked over, hugged Tao Xiaotao, and said to the confused Lian'er: "Lian'er, long time no see. I am your brother Xiao Tao's mommy."
Upon hearing her words, Tao Xiaotao, who originally thought that she had said something wrong to make her mother angry, immediately raised her head and looked at her ecstatically.
Tao Zhiyao rubbed his hair, kissed his forehead, and whispered: "Baby, Mommy will never deny you again. My baby, forgive Mommy." Tao Zhiyao hugged Xiao Tao,
Her heart was filled with warmth, her baby was so sensible that she felt that she was not a competent mother.
Tao Xiaotao threw herself into Tao Zhiyao's arms, buried her head in her arms, took a few deep breaths of the familiar light fragrance, and said: "As long as Mommy doesn't dislike Xiaotao for causing trouble to Mommy, then
Okay. Mommy is the best in Xiao Tao’s eyes."
Tao Zhiyao glanced at Lian'er, whose eyes were twinkling and excited, and said softly: "Lian'er, promise Auntie, don't tell anyone what happened today. I'll just treat it as you and Brother Xiaotao, and
Is the agreement between the aunts good?" Actually, what Tao Zhiyao wanted to say was that she should not tell her uncle, but the child's curiosity is too strong, and there will be countless reasons for her to answer, so she
Just say it directly and don't say anything to anyone.
Lian'er nodded vigorously and said: "Hmm, Lian'er must keep it a secret. If you don't believe me, we'll keep it secret. But, auntie also has to promise me something." Lian'er's face turned red, feeling a little embarrassed.
"What's the matter?" Tao Zhiyao also sincerely liked this little girl. She was so cute, like a doll.
Lian'er crossed her fingers and pinched it here and there as a habit, and finally glanced at Tao Xiaotao secretly, and said shyly: "Auntie, will you promise me to let me play with brother Xiaotao?"
Tao Zhiyao glanced at Xiao Tao, who had a helpless expression and turned his head slightly unnaturally, and smiled softly: "Our Lian'er is so cute, of course he can play with brother Xiao Tao. When Auntie has time in the future,
You can also ask Xiao Tao to invite Lian'er to play at my house."
"Really?" Lian'er clapped her hands and jumped up happily, then eagerly stretched out her little hand in front of Tao Zhiyao, "Auntie, let's pull the hook."
Tao Zhiyao smiled helplessly and stretched out her hand to hook her up.
Lian'er said happily: "It won't change in a hundred years!"
Tao Zhiyao didn't know if she was delusional. She was not afraid of anything. Nothing could ever trouble her. Her precious son actually let out a long helpless sigh.
At this moment, an elegant and beautiful woman suddenly walked over from the opposite side. Seeing her, Lian'er immediately ran over excitedly, hugged her and said affectionately: "Mommy."
"Baby, have you waited a long time?" the woman asked softly.
Lian'er shook her head first, then turned around and introduced: "Mommy, that's the brother Xiaotao and his mommy I've been talking about."
Gong Ruoxia looked along Lian'er's finger, and happened to meet Tao Zhiyao's eyes, which were looking at her. The two of them nodded politely and smiled faintly. Two women with similar temperaments, excellent and quiet, secretly felt that they were in love with each other.
The opponent scored a point.
Gong Ruoxia looked at Tao Zhiyao. At first glance, it was indeed easy to be ignored by her old and ugly appearance and ignore her hidden temperament. But Gong Ruoxia did not ignore the innate cold temperament and nobility of this woman.
.
She was definitely not as simple as she seemed. Gong Rosaxia glanced at Tao Xiaotao. How could a woman who could give birth to and teach such an outstanding and intelligent son be ordinary? However, Gong Rosaxia had no interest in delving into other people's privacy.
, just a gentle smile.
"Baby, daddy is waiting for us over there. Let's go. Say goodbye to my brother and aunt." Gong Rosaxia and Xiao Lian'er said.
Lian'er immediately waved to them obediently and said in a sweet voice: "Brother Xiaotao, auntie, goodbye."
Tao Zhiyao smiled slightly and said, "Goodbye Lian'er."
Tao Zhiyao took Tao Xiaotao's hand, and the two left happily.
Taking Xiao Tao to a restaurant that looked pretty good, the mother and son decided to have a warm and happy family dinner.
After the two of them found a place to sit down, Tao Xiaotao couldn't wait to ask: "Mommy, why are you here today? Where is Aunt Xiaowu?"
After feeding Xiao Tao his favorite crispy corn, Tao Zhiyao paused again and again, and finally whispered guiltily: "Xiao Tao, your Aunt Xiao Wu is on a business trip to the United States in an emergency. It happened so urgently that she called
After calling me to inform me, she left. Aunt Xiaowu is gone and can't take care of you. Aunt Fox, Aunt Sable, Aunt Night Cat, whoever you like, Mommy asked them to take care of you."
Tao Xiaotao's eyes sank slightly and became dull. He suddenly hated himself for why he didn't grow up faster, why he became a burden to his mother, and why she had to worry about him while working outside.
After a long while, Tao Xiaotao said: "Mommy, I don't choose any of them. I'm at home alone and can take care of myself. Mommy doesn't have to worry."
Hearing his willful words, Tao Zhiyao put down the bowl, her face darkened, and she suddenly said angrily: "Why are you so ignorant? You are alone at home and you are so young. How can I trust you? Do you want Mommy?"
Do I worry about you every day so much that I can’t sleep or eat?!”
"It's not like that... Mommy..." Tao Xiaotao looked at Mommy who was a little angry, but more guilty and sad. She wanted to explain anxiously, but in the end, she couldn't say anything.
All kinds of men appear in Aunt Fox's house every day, and her life is also a bit decadent. She spends a lot of time and alcohol, catching up on announcements, shooting commercials, filming movies, attending cocktail parties... there are too many for her to care about at all.
Go to him, and he has long been accustomed to living a peaceful and peaceful life with his mother, and he really doesn't like that kind of lifestyle. There is also the sable aunt, who is a weird medical wizard and a workaholic. She lives directly in
In the hospital, and her room was full of various organ specimens, he was lying alone on the sofa outside the room, unable to sleep. And the night owl aunt was very approachable and had no quirks, but she
He is an archaeological madman. One moment he is visiting the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, and the next he is visiting the Egyptian pyramids. He doesn't care about him at all. He really doesn't want to trouble them and become a burden to them.
It makes Mommy worried. He would rather stay at home alone and wait for Mommy quietly.
Lowering her head, Tao Xiaotao whispered: "Mommy, I'm sorry..." I'm sorry for being a burden to you, I'm sorry for making you give so much love, I'm sorry for making you worry about me all the time...
Tao Zhiyao regretted it as soon as she shouted it out.
She just heard him say that he wanted to be alone at home, so she was overly worried. It was her failure to take good care of Xiao Tao. It was not Xiao Tao's fault at all, but her fault.
Tao Zhiyao's eyes were moist, and she moved slightly and said: "Baby, it was Mommy's fault just now. Baby is so considerate of Mommy, Mommy shouldn't be cruel to Baby. Mommy is just too worried about Baby." She naturally knew that Tao Xiaotao was there.
What to think.
Those three people, because they couldn't make Keith suspicious after she and Crow escaped, so they still can't escape from Keith's control. Because they have missions, they often can't help themselves and can't take care of Xiao Tao at all.
But come on, they can't refuse.
Even if it wasn't the three of them, Tao Zhiyao had to find someone she could trust to take care of Xiao Tao, otherwise, she would not be able to trust her.
Who to look for?
For so many years, she has lived anonymously and quietly, knowing only a few people. She can't find anyone she is particularly familiar with and trustworthy.
Tao Zhiyao's face froze slightly, and she thought again and again. Suddenly, a figure flashed in her mind.
That Brother Tong who still cared about her, worried about her, and beat her because of her murder! The only person she knew from the past. The Brother Tong who she believed in from the bottom of her heart without knowing why.
Thinking of this, Tao Zhiyao felt relieved, looked at Tao Xiaotao tenderly, touched his head, and said softly: "Baby, don't worry, Mommy has found a very gentle and amiable uncle for you, and asked him to take care of you.
OK?"
Seeing Tao Zhiyao's particularly expectant look, Tao Xiaotao knew he had to nod to reassure his mother.
Nodding obediently, Tao Xiaotao whispered: "Okay."
Tao Xiaotao looked at Mommy. She had worked so hard to raise him alone for so many years and was so tired. He felt so distressed.
He couldn't help but touch the necklace hanging around his neck.
Although Tao Xiaotao didn't say anything, in his heart, he had been longing to know who his father was, where he was, and why he didn't recognize him?
So... Tao Xiaotao glanced at Tao Zhiyao guiltily, wondering whether he should tell Mommy what he had done without authorization.
However, I have never heard mommy talk about daddy, so she must have something to hide.
Seeing his mother feeding him so tenderly, he suddenly didn't dare to say anything.
He was afraid that if he told Mommy that he had posted a photo of the necklace on the Internet without permission and sent a message looking for his father, Mommy would be so angry that she would not want him anymore.
It's okay, let him find his father first, let him see if that father is qualified, and then decide whether to take his father to see his mother.
Okay, that's it.
Although there was a trace of shame in her heart, Tao Xiaotao still did not say it out loud.
Gong Ruocang, who was watching a movie with Ye Yu in the cinema and endured his constant screaming and throwing himself into his arms, suddenly received an urgent call from Ye Lang. Gong Ruocang asked calmly: "What's wrong?
?”
Ye Lang couldn't wait to say: "Black Emperor! Long Yao has appeared!"
