"That's it..." Jing slightly believed it, his voice full of disappointment.
"Yes, yes!" Haiyue answered Jinglue's words not very smoothly, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She took a deep breath and put on an awkward smile, "No, if you don't believe it, you can
Ask Grandpa Li..."
Hearing Haiyue's words, Jinglue turned around without saying a word, stretched out his finger to the sea, and asked Butler Li who was standing there, "Grandpa Li, is my father really going there on a business trip?" [
"Yes, yes, young master..." In order not to make Jing Lue sad, Butler Li, who is the worst at lying, had to tell lies against his will, "Young master, I went on a business trip to the other side of the sea. There is no phone there..."
When he mentioned the word "young master", Butler Li's voice trembled slightly uncontrollably. Fortunately, Jing Lue was only a child and could not hear the subtle changes in the adult's tone.
"Then - when dad comes back, will he come back from there too?" Jinglue asked Butler Li.
"Huh?" Butler Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, "Yes, young master, the young master will be back from the other side of the sea by then."
Butler Li's voice is now very natural, not as astringent as before.
Jinglue asked a few more questions, and after getting satisfactory answers one by one, he stopped bothering Butler Li and turned to look at Haiyue, with a very determined expression on his face.
Although Haiyue couldn't see the expression on Jinglue's face clearly, she could feel from her son's tense body what decision he was making at the moment.
So Haiyue asked softly, "What's wrong with Jinglue? Do you have any more questions you want to ask?"
"Mom!" Jing Lue stared at the sparkling sea and clenched his fists, "I have decided!"
"Decided?" Haiyue couldn't understand for a moment why Jinglue was acting like this and what he had decided. She could only look at Jinglue in shock, waiting for his answer.
