After that, the two continued to eat, but each other clearly realized that the other did not eat much because neither of them had an appetite.
After lunch, Cheng Nuo and He Jiayi went to the yard to sit and chat. Because the topic of conversation became more relaxed, their moods relaxed a lot and their moods were obviously much better.
It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that He Jiayi received a call from Ouyang Ruize and knew that Ouyang Ruize was ready to go home after finishing his work. He Jiayi said goodbye to her aunt and left Lishui Bay, preparing to go home.
After Cheng Nuo saw He Jiayi off, he quickly took out his cell phone and called He Zikai.
"Hello, Nuo'er." He Zikai quickly answered the phone.
"Ah Kai, where are you?" Cheng Nuo asked hurriedly.
"I just left He Yi and was going to pick up Xiaomei from school," He Zikai replied, but hearing the urgency in the little woman's voice, he asked worriedly, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"No," Cheng Nuo replied. He controlled his emotions for a moment, thought quickly in his mind, and said, "Then you go pick up Xiaomei. Bai Jing and I will go pick up Lichen and Xiaoxi. Remember to pick up Xiaomei."
Finally, go home early, I have something to tell you."
Hearing Nuo'er say something was wrong, He Zikai became a little anxious and worried, and asked, "What's the matter? Can't you tell me now?"
Cheng Nuo thought about it and decided not to say it on the phone because this matter was very important to him, and he was sure that if he told Ah Kai, it would also be very important to Ah Kai, so he
Or should I tell Ah Kai face to face and discuss with Ah Kai what to do?
Ah Kai loves his niece Jiayi, and he loves and cares about her equally. He and Ah Kai will attach great importance to Jiayi's affairs and care about her.
"It's Jiayi's business, Ah Kai. I'll tell you when you come back. I'm not... in a hurry." Cheng Nuo said that Jiayi had already said that at noon, so she shouldn't be in a hurry, so she was a little later.
Tell Ah Kai that nothing happened.
When He Zikai heard Nuo'er's words, he had thoughts and guesses in his mind, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "Well, let's wait until I get home. When you and Bai Jing pick up Lichen and Xiaoxi, please pay attention to safety on the road."
"Well, you too..."
Just after Cheng Nuo hung up the phone, he saw Bai Jing coming out of the villa and walking towards him.
Because he had just sent Jiayi away, he was standing at the door of the courtyard calling Ah Kai and had not returned to the villa yet.
Bai Jing walked up to his wife and said politely, "Madam, it's already past four o'clock. We need to clean up and go pick up the young master and the little princess from school."
"Well, I'll go upstairs and change some clothes, and then we'll go out."
Bai Jing nodded.
…
Cheng Nuo and Bai Jing arrived at the gate of the kindergarten. It was still some time before school was over. They waited at the gate of the kindergarten for a while before school was over.
After receiving Lichen and Xiaoxi, Cheng Nuo did not talk to the children as affectionately as usual. He just said to the children, "Let's get in the car and go home."
"Yeah." He Xiaoxi responded, but found that something was wrong with her mother's mood.
He Lichen had also discovered it a long time ago, but he didn't say anything when he saw that his mother seemed unhappy.
Back in the car, Bai Jing drove, while Cheng Nuo and the children sat in the back seat.
He Xiaoxi always stayed by Mommy's side, holding Mommy's hand.
Although He Lichen was not tired of looking at Mommy, he kept looking at Mommy's face, filled with all kinds of worries and speculations in his heart.
Cheng Nuo didn't realize that his son was looking at him at first. After talking to his youngest daughter, he accidentally looked at his son and found that his son was looking at him seriously. Cheng Nuo was suddenly startled.
"Lichen, what's wrong?" Cheng Nuo asked hurriedly, worried about what happened to the child.
He Lichen did not answer Mommy's words immediately. He thought about it and said, "Mommy, are you unhappy?"
"No, Mommy has nothing to be unhappy about." Cheng Nuo replied. Facing the two children, of course he had nothing to be unhappy about. They were so well-behaved, so he didn't have to worry about them. What could he be unhappy about?
"But you are different today than usual. When you saw us just now, you didn't smile happily or kiss us. You just hugged Xiaoxi and me." He Lichen said truthfully.
When He Xiaoxi heard what Li Chen said, he also said, "Yes, Mommy, you are really different today."
Only then did Cheng Nuo realize that his emotions had been discovered by the children, but he had never cared about it. Because he didn't care, he couldn't control his emotions or calm down his expression.
Even though he knew it was too late to control his emotions, Cheng Nuo still tried to control it. He did not smile and talk to the children, but his tone softened a lot, "Lichen, Xiaoxi, although your observations are not wrong, Mommy
It’s indeed different from usual, but there’s nothing unhappy about Mommy.”
Naturally, we cannot tell the children about Jiayi, so we can only communicate with them as easily as possible to let them put down their worries.
"Compared with your sister and your father, you are all very good. What can Mummy be unhappy about?" Cheng Nuo asked back, but then said, "Mummy is just bored at home. Today
When I saw you, I was a little tired, so I acted a little depressed. These mommies didn't even notice, but you two smart little guys discovered it."
Hearing what Mommy said, He Lichen and He Xiaoxi no longer worried. After all, the child's world is very simple, and they fully understand their mother's feelings.
"Well," He Xiaoxi nodded happily, because Mommy wasn't unhappy, so he wouldn't be unhappy either, but he added, "Mommy, you definitely didn't have a lunch break today, right?"
"Yes, my Xiaoxi is really smart." Cheng Nuo answered his daughter.
"Hehe." He Xiaoxi chuckled.
"Mommy, you should go to bed early tonight." He Lichen also said with concern.
"Yes, Mommy remembers it." Cheng Nuo answered his son again.
The atmosphere in the car got better. After that, Cheng Nuo and the children chatted happily. Bai Jing also chatted occasionally. He Lichen and He Xiaoxi were very happy.
When Cheng Nuo and the children returned home, He Zikai and Xiao Mei were already there.
He Lichen and He Xiaoxi ran to Dad, said hello to Dad, and then followed their sister to play in the living room.
He Zikai walked up to Cheng Nuo, stretched out his hand naturally, grabbed Cheng Nuo's waist, looked at her tenderly, and said, "I told you on the phone before that you told me something about Jiayi, what's the matter?"
Cheng Nuo looked at the child not far away, then looked at He Zikai and replied, "Let's go upstairs and talk." (To be continued)
