Chapter 328 Looking for the Heart-Stirring Moment
"Dad, Mom, what are you doing?" Xiaomai pushed the door open.
"Come, Xiaomai, Mom was just looking for you. Look, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were born safely and are already two months old. You, too, have completed the confinement period and are in good health. Mom is relieved and it's time for you to go back." Mother Lu said, touching her daughter's head.
"Mom, can't you stay a little longer? I can't bear to leave you." Xiaomai couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard that they were to be separated again. This was the longest time she had lived with her parents. She truly felt that a child with a mother is a treasure. Now that she has become a mother, she can better understand the bitterness her parents went through during the years when they lost her. Fortunately, God opened his eyes and let them reunite. She is reluctant to part every time.
"Child, your father's company has been handed over to someone else for such a long time, and he also needs to rest. Besides, we are not far away. If you miss your parents, you can fly there in two hours." Lu's mother was reluctant to leave her daughter, especially her two little grandchildren, but there was nothing she could do as she had a lot of things to do in Lin City.
"Okay then! When are you leaving? I'll take you there."
"The plane tickets have been booked for tomorrow," said Father Lu.
"Ah, so anxious! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Silly child, it doesn't matter whether you tell me earlier or later. I wanted to tell you last night, but you and Xiao Ting didn't come home all night, so I can only tell you today!" said Father Lu.
"Oh"
"By the way, Xiaomai, what do you want to talk to us about?" Mother Lu suddenly thought that her daughter came here on her own initiative, so there must be something wrong.
"It's nothing! I just want to tell you that my sister-in-law is pregnant." Xiaomai said with a smile.
"What do you mean? They are together?" Mother Lu asked happily.
"Not really, but my brother came over yesterday and stayed at Youyou's place." Xiaomai said slyly.
"This kid looks quite sultry, but his shamelessness is inherited from your father."
"Hey, hey, hey, can't you save some face for your husband in front of your daughter?" Father Lu said helplessly to his wife.
"What's the use of that thing? Only a daughter-in-law is useful! Husband, our son has finally found his true love, Xiaomai! You should usually say a few good words for your brother in front of Youyou."
"Don't worry! I'm anxious to have a sister-in-law too."
"Okay, okay, now that you and your sister have found a good home, your parents can rest assured."
The three of them chatted for a while, and then Xiaomai went downstairs and asked the kitchen to make more dishes that her parents liked for dinner. She thought about it and decided to do it herself! Then she rolled up her sleeves, tied on her apron and started working in the kitchen.
When Xiaomai thought that her parents would be back tomorrow, she thought about making more delicious food for them. Unexpectedly, she accidentally made a full banquet, a table full of delicious food. Aunt Li and the maids in the kitchen were dumbfounded. The young lady was so amazing, she was a multi-star chef!
As soon as He Lingting came downstairs, he was attracted by the aroma of food from the restaurant. He looked at the food on the table and his appetite was aroused. Did the family change the cook? He turned his head and looked towards the kitchen. It turned out that his little wife was washing her hands and cooking soup.
He stood at the door of the restaurant, looking at Xiaomai thoughtfully. Could it be that her cooking skills attracted me? He looked at the little girl, and every move she made exuded a charming aura, which made his heart surge and he wanted to get closer.
Xiaomai finished the last dish and said to Aunt Li, "It's finally done. I haven't cooked for a long time and I'm a little rusty now."
"Young Madam, please put it down! We will clean up the rest. Go and ask the young masters to taste your cooking. They will definitely be full." Aunt Li said, taking the spatula from Xiaomai's hand.
Xiaomai didn't bother to be polite and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Li." Then she took off her apron, washed her hands, lowered her head, and walked out while tidying up her clothes.
"Ah! Why are you here?" Xiaomai bumped into He Lingting's arms again.
"Don't you look at the road when you walk?" He Lingting asked while rubbing her forehead with his hand.
"No way? Why are you always standing at the door?"
"I'm here to eat." He Lingting's indifferent words left Xiaomai speechless. Come on, he is always right.
"Oh, then I'll go call my parents to come down for dinner. You can eat first if you're hungry!"
"No need, I'll wait for you." No matter how much He Lingting did his own thing, he still knew the table manners. How could he have the nerve to eat first when his elders hadn't come to the table?
Xiaomai called Father and Mother Lu over. Father Lu looked at the delicious food on the table and said in surprise, "Wow! What day is it today? Such a rich feast."
Mother Lu also looked at the two of them curiously.
"Two things. First, Mom and Dad, thank you for your hard work for taking care of your daughter these days! You are going back tomorrow, and I want to cook a meal for you myself. Second, to celebrate uncle..." Xiaomai didn't want to make her parents worry, so she suddenly stopped talking.
"What's wrong with Xiao Ting?" Father Lu listened halfway and became anxious!
"Nothing, just celebrating." Xiaomai glanced at He Lingting and silently said in her heart, "Celebrating the uncle's new life!"
He Lingting looked at Xiaomai and could guess what Xiaomai was going to say. Perhaps, they already had a mutual understanding, which was why she was so attractive to him.
After everyone had dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Lu went to the child's room again. They would be leaving tomorrow, so they must hold their little grandson for a while longer tonight, because they would not be able to hold him when they go back.
Xiao Mai and He Lingting originally wanted to go and accompany the children, but then they thought, let's not disturb the grandparents and grandchildren, as they have plenty of time.
Xiaomai went straight back to her room, found the manuscript and started drawing again. He Lingting went to the study, looked at some documents, and then went back to his room.
Since He Lingting deleted some memories, he is attracted to Xiaomai and likes her. He cannot deceive himself, but he also feels sorry for the little girl. What did he forget? He has been looking for the moment when he fell in love with the little girl all day. He feels very moved but she is not the only one for him.
The night came so quickly. When He Lingting returned to the room, Xiaomai was sitting at the head of the bed reading a book. She heard the door open, put down the book, and said, "Honey, you're back. I'll run you a bath." As she said that, Xiaomai was about to get up.
He Lingting hurriedly stopped him, "It's always my job to run the bath water." After saying that, he walked straight into the bathroom and came out soon, "You go take a bath!"
Xiaomai's eyes were filled with tears. Although the uncle was a little colder, he was still as nice to her as always.
"What's wrong?" He Lingting asked when he saw Xiaomai's eyes turned red.
"It's okay. I'm touched."
"Silly girl, you are so touched now. Go and take a shower! The water will get cold soon."
The sudden tenderness made Xiaomai stunned. The uncle was back. She didn't move, not wanting to miss the expression on He Lingting's face. However, He Lingting frowned, bent down to pick up Xiaomai, leaned over and whispered, "I used to carry you there, why don't I take a shower with you!"
Xiaomai's face shrank and she buried herself in He Lingting's arms. His expression was still not gentle enough, but the words he said stirred Xiaomai's heartstrings just like before...
