The fingertips that brushed against his son's cheek trembled slightly.
Bao Jinghan's eyes were filled with traces of surprise, but his eyes were as gentle as before.
"dad……"
Mengbao stubbornly handed the phone to Bo Jinghan. Although there was no expression on his face, his persistence and determination were enough to feel from his actions.
Bo Jinghan, who had been looking for him for a long time, never expected that this child would be hiding here and calling... Lu Yan!
But she was not very surprised, she just narrowed her eyes slightly, reached out to take the phone, and pulled the child into her arms.
"Hello? Lu Yan?"
"Well...it's me."
Hearing Lu Yan's response, Bo Jinghan was patting the child's back.
After a few seconds of silence, she rubbed her cheek against her son's cheek affectionately, thinking quickly in her mind for a moment, and became polite as usual.
"I'm sorry, I left my phone behind and it was taken away by Jingjing... Did it disturb your work?"
"No, it happened to be lunch break, so Jingjing's call came just in time. By the way, I chatted with him a lot, and I promised him that our family would go out together on the weekend! Tangtang Jingjing, you, and me."
"..."
Bo Jinghan opened his mouth slightly, but suddenly he seemed to lose his voice.
Our family?
Our family...
Our family!
…
These four words kept swirling in my ears.
It wasn't until Jingjing's childish voice came that she was brought back to her thoughts.
"Mommy...looking for...brother..."
"Oh, okay, mommy will take you to find your brother!"
Patting Jingjing's back gently, Bo Jinghan loosened his fingers on the phone slightly and explained in a low voice to Lu Yan on the other end of the phone.
"Sorry, Lu Yan, we'll talk about this later. Jingjing wants to go find Tangtang, so I'll take him there first."
After a pause, before Lu Yan could answer, she handed the phone to her son's ear: "Quietly, say goodbye to daddy!"
Although Jingjing is young, the Bo family's education is absolutely meticulous when it comes to politeness.
When the phone was placed close to her cheek, Jingjing pursed her lips slightly and opened her pink mouth.
Whispering, seemingly with a lot of determination, Bao Jinghan uttered four consecutive words in his surprised and slightly excited eyes -
"Goodbye, Dad..."
He made the last sound of the word "see" extra long, which sounded weird.
But in the hearts of Lu Yan and Bo Jinghan, it turned into a tangled ribbon, wrapping around their hearts bit by bit.
"Be good, honey! We'll see you tonight..."

When Ji Yueze pushed the door open and walked in, he happened to hear Lu Yan call out "Good boy" in an unprecedentedly gentle voice that could almost squeeze out water.
His eyes trembled suddenly, and he stared at Lu Yan as if he was seeing a ghost.
The shrewd eyes hidden behind the lenses were shining brightly. When Lu Yan put down his phone, he looked at him.
And just for a moment.
He happened to catch the tenderness in Lu Yan's eyes that had not yet been concealed.
This... this guy must be evil!
"Here we go, come in and sit down."
After suppressing his emotions, Lu Yan spoke as usual, greeting Ji Yueze and Qiao Shukuang who followed him through the door.
"Lu Yan, are you... okay?"
When Ji Yueze walked in, he asked worriedly before he sat down.
But before the words could be heard, Qiao Shukuang, who closed the door, spoke immediately.
"Mr. Lu, which darling are you calling? Hurry up and confess, if it weren't for our sister-in-law, I would immediately inform you and take credit!"
