Taotao heard the sound of the door closing again, opened her eyes, endured the restlessness in her heart, and waited for a while before climbing out of bed.
He gently opened the bedroom door and glanced at the living room. No one was there.
His dad must have gone to bed.
Taotao smiled mischievously. Mu Shaoling refused to let Sister Nianmu move in with her, so he went to find her by himself.
Since they were all in the same hotel anyway, it didn't count as running away from home.
Thinking about it, Taotao walked to the door and looked at the locked door. He jumped a few times before opening the door, and then walked out without thinking.
Mu Shaoling was in the bedroom, heard the sound of the door opening, and opened his eyes.
He was not asleep yet, and the bedroom door was not closed, so he could wake up with the slightest sound.
Taotao walked to the elevator door and pressed the elevator button. After a while, the elevator slowly opened. The elevator attendant standing inside saw him and asked with a smile: "Kid, why are you alone? Where are your parents?"
The other person spoke in English, but Taotao answered without any pressure. He blinked and said in fluent English: "Auntie, I want to find my mother."
Seeing how well-behaved and cute he was, the elevator attendant felt soft and asked, "Which guest room are you from? Isn't your mother in the guest room?"
"My mother is in room 1218." Taotao reported Nian Mu's room number. If he didn't say so, the elevator attendant might not pay attention to him.
"Twelfth floor? Then why are you on the 18th floor?" The elevator attendant is not that easy to fool. If you don't have a room card, you can't wander around the floors. What's more, he is still wearing pajamas.
"Because my father lives in the guest room on the 18th floor." Taotao glanced back and did not see Mu Shaoling. Feeling a little relieved, he continued: "My parents had a quarrel today, so the two of them
We live in separate rooms, auntie, I can’t sleep without my mother coaxing me."
Seeing the grievances written on his lovely face, the elevator attendant thought that it must be caused by the adults' emotional disharmony. He sighed and said, "Okay, come in quickly and I will take you to find your mother."
"Auntie, you are so kind." Taotao immediately walked into the elevator. Watching the elevator attendant press the button for the twelfth floor, a victorious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He knew that no matter which country he was from, he could not refuse the request of a child who was always pitiful and acting aggrieved.
The elevator attendant touched his head and said, "You're so good."
Mu Shaoling walked out of the corner, still wearing pajamas. As soon as Taotao opened the door and went out, he knew what the child was going to do.
He watched the numbers on the elevator going down. When it reached the twelfth floor, it stopped and it showed maintenance. He felt relieved and called Dong Zijun, "He has reached the twelfth floor."
Since Taotao wanted to find Nianmu secretly, he let him go. As long as Dong Zijun took a look to see if he had entered Nianmu's room, he would feel relieved.
"Okay, boss, I'm going to pay attention now." Dong Zijun's guest room is right next to Nian Mu. As long as he pays attention, he can hear it.
After the elevator reached the twelfth floor, Taotao thanked the elevator attendant, "Thank you, auntie. I don't have any money, so I'll ask dad to give it to you tomorrow."
"You're welcome." Seeing that he was so sensible and well-behaved, the elevator attendant was worried about him walking around the hotel floor alone, so he stopped the elevator and said, "Come on, I'll take you to your mother's guest room."
"Thank you, Auntie." Taotao nodded.
The elevator attendant took Taotao's hand and walked to room 1218 and pressed the doorbell.
Before Nianmu could rest, she heard the doorbell. She was alert and saw a woman with a foreign face through the peephole. She seemed to be dressed as an elevator attendant, so she felt relieved and opened the door.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" Her door was chained, so she wasn't afraid that women would rush in directly.
"Hello, your child is looking for you." The elevator attendant said with a smile.
"Child?" Nian Mu was confused. Just when he was about to say that he had no children, he heard Taotao's voice, "Sister, wuwuwu, I'm here to find you."
She untied the chain, opened the door, and looked at the child at the door. It was indeed Taotao.
"Why are you here?" Nian Mu asked confused, and looked around again, but did not see Mu Shaoling.
"I'm here to find you." Taotao walked in with a smile, then changed the language and thanked the elevator attendant outside the door: "Thank you, aunt, this is my mother."
When Nianmu heard him calling her mother, her thoughts suddenly surged in her heart, and her eyes became inexplicably moist.
She really wanted to selfishly possess this title and let Taotao call her mom a few more times.
"You're welcome, madam. I hope you can reconcile with your husband as soon as possible. The child is innocent." The elevator attendant said with a smile and turned to leave.
Nianmu closed the door in confusion. It was strange enough that Taotao called her mother, but what about her husband?
"Taotao, why are you here?" She locked the door, squatted down, and looked at the child seriously.
"Sister, if dad doesn't let you move upstairs, I will come downstairs to find you." Taotao said.
"What does mother mean? And, my husband? When did I have a husband?" Nian Mu continued to pursue his words.
Taotao blushed. He didn't expect his lie to be exposed so quickly. He touched the back of his head and told the reason why he tricked the elevator attendant into letting him get in the elevator.
After hearing this, Nianmu was speechless.
I have to say that Taotao is a very smart child, but this smartness is used in the wrong place.
What if the elevator attendant is a bad person, or if the elevator attendant is someone arranged by Abep, and a person like Taotao runs in front of him, the consequences will be really disastrous.
Even though this hotel is very high-end and has a good security system, she doesn't dare to take it lightly for a moment.
This is not a country, and Mu Shaoling does not have that much power. If something happens, it may be difficult for them to escape intact, so she has to be more cautious.
Nian Mu didn't say anything, and Taotao twirled her fingers uneasily, fearing that she would think he was a bad boy and not like him.
He explained: "Sister, I didn't mean it, but I just want to live with you. Dad's suite has two rooms. I asked you to move in, but he said no, so I..."
Nian Mu knew that the child did this all because he liked himself.
As a mother, she was naturally very happy that her son liked her, so she was not angry. She said: "Your father and I are a superior and a subordinate. In such a relationship, we should not live in the same guest room.
