Xiaoqiao had just sent her mother-in-law out when she felt a fresh softness pouncing on her.
"Mommy, Mommy, where did you go? Xiao Nian thought you had disappeared!"
The baby's voice was hoarse, as if he would start crying if he didn't see her again soon.
"Mommy just stepped out for a moment! Baby, you're awake! Did you sleep well last night?"
"Mmm! Mommy soft! Today I want to sleep with Mommy too, and tomorrow, and the day after..."
The baby's dependency had given Xiaoqiao the first sense of being needed in three years, filling her heart with fulfillment and sweetness.
Hearing footsteps behind her, Xiaoqiao turned around.
"It's me."
Xiaoqiao hurriedly greeted, "Mr. Ren, good morning."
"Morning."
The baby looked up happily, "Daddy, good morning!"
"Mmm." Gu Hangshen went over to pick him up and then looked at Xiaoqiao, "Could I invite you to lunch as a thank you for taking care of Xiao Nian?"
