After Jing Li finished speaking, she didn't stay any longer, nodded slightly to Mu Qian and Huo Qiran, and ran away while hugging the little girl who was still staring at Huo Qiran.
This time the little girl was naturally unhappy and started to cry.
Jing Li ran back to the door of the store and met the manager walking out of it. She quickly put the child down and listened to the manager's low-pitched scolding while hurriedly putting on her headgear.
But just as she put the little girl down, the little girl suddenly ran towards Huo Qiran again.
Jing Li instantly became panicked and embarrassed. The hood she had just put on suddenly fell off again. She didn't care to pick it up and reached out to grab the little girl. The manager behind her suddenly looked even more ugly...
Seeing the chaotic situation over there, Mu Qian turned her head and glanced at Huo Qiran and said, "It seems that you can't go shopping with me for the time being. Why don't you take the kids with you soon?"
Huo Qiran reached out and hugged Mu Qian, and then walked towards Jing Li's direction.
Mu Qian looked at his back and shrugged helplessly - who made her son a warm man since he was a child? Under such circumstances, he couldn't leave anyway.
Mu Qian didn't stay long, turned around and went to find something to do by herself.
When Jing Li was in a hurry, a pair of long legs appeared in front of her. Immediately afterwards, Xi Xi was picked up by the owner of the long legs.
Huo Qiran held the little girl in his arms and looked at her calmly, "Don't you only have half an hour of work left? Anyway, I'm fine. I'll help you look after your niece first. You go about your own business first. I'll return her to you after get off work. for you."
Hearing this, Jing Li only had time to hesitate for a few seconds before she nodded hurriedly, "Then I'll leave it to you. There is a cafe downstairs. You can go there and sit and rest for a while. Xixi is very well-behaved. She doesn't
It’s going to be noisy, please.”
Huo Qiran responded, and then said: "Then I will wait for you in the coffee shop and won't leave. If you come over and don't see us, it may be that you left temporarily. Don't worry, I will bring her back."
Listening to his detailed explanation, Jing Li nodded repeatedly, touched Xi Xi's face and told her to be obedient, and then turned around and returned to her work station.
Huo Qiran didn't expect that he would suddenly have such a task when he was shopping with Mu Qian. Fortunately, it was not difficult for him. He hugged the little girl and talked to her while going downstairs.
About forty minutes later, Jing Li, who had changed into casual clothes but was still sweating profusely, hurried to the coffee shop on the first floor. At first glance, she did not see Huo Qiran and Xi Xi.
When she raised her eyes again, she saw Huo Qiran waving to her through the floor-to-ceiling glass on the lawn outside the cafe.
Jing Li hurriedly walked outside, only to see Xi Xi standing at Huo Qiran's feet, staring intently at the children performing a show in front of her, not even noticing her coming.
"Thank you." As soon as she walked in front of Huo Qiran, Jing Li hurriedly thanked you, "I'm really troubling you."
"It's okay." Huo Qiran smiled, "Xi Xi wanted to eat cake just now. I wasn't sure if she had any allergens and didn't dare to buy it for her, so I took her out to play. She is really well-behaved and easy to take care of.
"
Jing Li saw that the little girl was looking at her seriously, so she didn't call her. When she turned around and saw Huo Qiran's empty hands, she couldn't help but said, "Why didn't you buy a drink? Let me treat you. What do you want to drink?"
"No, I'm not thirsty either." He looked at the sweat on her forehead and said, "Would you like to go in and blow on the air conditioner for a while? Anyway, I'm fine. I can help you look after Xi Xi for a while."
"No, no," Jing Li said repeatedly, "It's almost time for us to go back. Thank you so much for today."
"You have said thank you so many times, and I don't even know how to respond to you." Huo Qiran smiled slightly and said, "It's just a small favor. How can classmates be so polite?"
Jing Li pursed her lips and smiled, paused, then raised her eyes to look at him again, "By the way, where are you going to school now? England or the United States?"
"Tongda, Electrical Engineering." Huo Qiran replied calmly, and then looked at her again, "What about you?"
Jing Li seemed to have not heard his question, her eyes widened slightly, "Are you at Tongda University? I thought you would definitely go abroad!"
"Originally we had this plan." Huo Qiran smiled lightly, "But my sister refused to let me go, so she stayed."
Jing Li didn't seem to expect this to be the reason. After being surprised, she quickly laughed and said, "That's good too. Being with family is also important."
Huo Qiran did not ask about her current situation anymore, but instead asked: "Why did you take Xi Xi to work part-time? Isn't there anyone at home to take care of her?"
"Yes." Jing Li replied, "But I'm not free today, so I have no choice but to leave it to me."
Huo Qiran nodded and was about to say something else. Suddenly a balloon exploded not far from Xi Xi. Xi Xi was startled and turned around and shouted: "Auntie!"
Jing Li bent down and picked her up skillfully. Before she had time to comfort her, Xi Xi had already seen Huo Qiran again and stretched out her hand to him again, "Dad!"
Jing Li was really embarrassed and looked at Huo Qiran and laughed sheepishly.
Huo Qiran didn't seem to take it seriously, but was a little curious, "What kind of address does she have?"
"It's not the first time she calls a good-looking boy daddy when she sees him." Jingli seemed even more embarrassed when she said it, "Xi Xi, this is brother Huo Qiran, don't call him random..."
Xi Xi didn't know if she understood, but she still tried her best to lean into Huo Qiran's arms and shouted confidently: "Dad!"
When Huo Qiran wanted to reach out to help her again, Jing Li took a step back slightly and smiled at him again, "She's always like this, I hope you don't mind. Then I won't delay you any longer, let's go back first?"
After hearing this, Huo Qiran didn't say anything else. He just nodded calmly. Just when he was about to say goodbye, he suddenly remembered something, "Would you like to add your contact information?"
Jing Li paused for a moment, then quickly reported her mobile phone number.
Huo Qiran didn't expect that she would give her mobile phone number, but he still saved the number in his mobile phone and called her.
A cell phone ringtone soon came from her backpack, and Jing Li said, "Okay, I have your number now too. Then...goodbye."
"goodbye."
Jing Li asked Xi Xi to make a goodbye gesture to Huo Qiran, and then ignored Xi Xi's awkward struggle and strode away with Xi Xi in her arms.
Huo Qiran stood there, watching the two people disappear, and then looked down at the number on his phone.
There were some weird things in this, but she didn't want to talk about it, and it was inconvenient for him to ask more questions.
