After arriving at Blue Ocean Apartment, Zhuo Le helped Qiao Ran carry the two suitcases upstairs.
An An was already waiting in the new house. When he saw his mother, he rushed towards her and hung herself up with both hands.
Qiao Ran squatted down, let him hook his neck, and then picked him up.
"An'an, are you good when I'm not here?" She reached out and tapped his little nose.
"Mommy, I'm the most well-behaved. Great, starting from today, I'm going to live with Mommy." Qiao Ze'an gave Qiao Ran a big kiss on the cheek.
Zhuo Le came over and said in a dissatisfied voice, "Why, isn't it good to live with me? I treat you with good food and drinks every day, and I also play games with you. Aren't you happy?"
"Luanluanluo." Qiao Ze'an made a face towards Zhuo Le, "I want my mother to hug me."
"Oh, no matter how old you are, you still need to be hugged by your mother." Zhuo Le rolled his eyes.
Qiao Ran hugged Qiao Ze'an and sat on the sofa. She stroked his soft hair and felt her heart soften. After all, An An was still a child and needed more company. She no longer had a father, and as a mother, she also
Failure to fulfill one's responsibilities.
Thinking of this, she inevitably felt depressed. She couldn't help but hug An An tighter.
After hugging him for a long time, Qiao Ze'an got up early because he had to move today. After nestling in Qiao Ran's comfortable arms for a while, he actually fell asleep.
Qiao Ran glanced down and his eyes became gentler.
She reached out her hand, touched his soft little face, and kissed his forehead gently.
Then, she carried him to the room, put him on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.
"This child didn't even eat lunch and fell asleep." She sighed.
"It's okay, sister. Look, An An has already eaten a bunch of snacks. He won't be hungry." Zhuo Le pointed to the snack packaging bag on the dining table that was torn open by Qiao Ze'an.
"You dote on him too much. Don't buy him some snacks. It's hard for you. I'm still a big boy, and you have to help me take care of An An and cook three meals a day for him." Qiao Ran apologized.
"You know, you know, who said I'm still a boy? Sister, if you say that, I'm going to be angry. Although my actual age is a bit younger, my mental age is no better than..." He wanted to say,
His mental age is no younger than Zuo Chenye, but he suddenly stopped talking. Damn it, why would he compare himself with Zuo Chenye? Humph.
"You've worked hard for a while, go and rest for a while. I'll make you a delicious lunch today."
Qiao Ran said as he walked into the kitchen.
She opened the refrigerator and found everything in it. She had to admire Zhuo Le's thoughtfulness.
Soon, she prepared three dishes and one soup, leaving a portion for An An.
She and Zhuo Le had lunch together for the rest.
"Sister, the food you cook is absolutely amazing. No matter how good the restaurant is, it can't compare to what you cook." Zhuo Le praised while eating.
"Okay, stop bragging. It's not your first time eating it." Qiao Ran glared at him, "Have you put honey in your mouth recently? You're becoming more and more talkative."
"Hehe." Zhuo Le smiled. In fact, he was afraid that she would be unhappy, so he tried his best to make her happy.
After returning to the capital, he could feel that although she didn't say it on the surface, she was always worried.
He knew that these must be related to Zuo Chenye.
After all, she suffered a lot of harm in the past, and as time goes by, these harms still exist and cannot be erased.
After eating, Zhuo Le took a nap on the sofa for a while.
Qiao Ran used this time to pack all the luggage he had brought.
Re-categorize the previous items and place them.
With everything taken care of from top to bottom, the new apartment finally looks like home.
She sat down and rested for a while.
At this time, Zhuo Le also woke up. He woke up, glanced at the room, and asked, "An An is not awake yet?"
Qiao Ran shook his head, "Maybe he was too tired. He didn't wake up. I went in to pack my things and didn't wake him up."
"Oh, maybe we have to move. He was so excited that he didn't sleep well for two consecutive nights. It's okay, let him sleep." Zhuo Le said.
"Well, I'll make food for him again tonight." Qiao Ran glanced at the food left for An An on the dining table. It was already afternoon.
Zhuo Le looked at the time and said, "Sister, let's check the recent bill from QR Company. After checking the bill, I'll go back first."
"good."
Qiao Ran responded and then opened his laptop.
The two checked the bill.
Once you start working, time always flies by.
Unexpectedly, the sky outside turned dark.
Qiao Ran rubbed his sore neck, "That's it. It's getting late, you should go back."
"Well." Zhuo Le stood up, packed up his computer, and picked up his briefcase, "Sister, we have a rest tomorrow. You can take An An to have some fun. We'll meet in the office of Yunding Building the day after tomorrow."
"good."
After Qiao Ran sent Zhuo Le away, she sat down and took another look at the bill.
Her recent income has been good and she is very satisfied.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
She murmured, "Did Zhuo Le forget to take something?"
She stepped forward to open the door, without looking at the peephole, and opened the door directly, "Why are you..."
Before she finished speaking, she was stunned on the spot when she saw the person coming.
It turned out to be Zuo Chenye!
For a moment, she had the illusion that she was still living in a hotel.
She turned around subconsciously and looked behind her. Yes, she was in Lanhai Apartment. But how could the person in front of her be Zuo Chenye?
"Hello neighbor, I would like to ask you to borrow a kettle."
Zuo Chenye pretended not to see her clearly at first, and then he pretended to be surprised, "Miss Qiao, why is it you? You live here too? You said you were going to move in the morning, and you just moved here? What a coincidence?"
Although he knew that his acting skills were poor and his excuses were even worse, he still had to pretend.
Qiao Ran's jaw almost dropped in shock.
"How will you be here?"
"I have been living here. A few days ago, I stayed in the hotel because it was convenient for meetings. Blue Ocean Apartment is a real estate under my name, Miss Qiao, didn't you know?"
Zuo Chenye crossed his arms across his chest and took time to admire her shocked, angry and cute expression.
"I......"
Damn it, how did she know?
There are too many real estate properties in his name. You can find his property wherever you want to live.
At this time, An An was awakened by the movement outside the door.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out of the room.
She shouted in a sweet voice, "Mommy, I'm awake. Mommy, what are you doing?"
Qiao Ran felt a chill on her back. It was over. She had forgotten that An An was still there.
