Before long, Lin Qing informed me that the owner of the car was Dongfang Ling.
"Okay, I got it."
So it turned out that Bai Qingzhu was quite close to Dongfang Ling.
Dongfang Ling, while not very concerned about the kindergarten, had heard it was considered the best in Royal City. She hadn't been impressed, making me guess that it would be hard to find a suitable one.
"Otherwise, why don't you find a private tutor for Miaomiao?"
Given Miaomiao's intelligence, I estimated that even if she went to kindergarten, she wouldn't blend in with the other kids.
"I just hope she can be like any other child."
Bai Qingzhu didn't expect her to learn much at kindergarten.
"Alright then!"
Dongfang Ling always turned soft when it came to Miaomiao's matters.
But, she truly loved the little one!
Fortunately, Heaven favors the diligent. We visited another international kindergarten. While it lacked in some aspects compared to the previous one, it was still quite good.
Most importantly, Miaomiao liked it.
Just then, Bai Qingzhu's phone rang. It was the same person who had contacted her earlier.
"Miss Bai, may I ask if you've returned to the country?"
"Yes, I've come back and can schedule a time for the old lady."
The man on the other end became excited, "Great, great! Miss Bai, when are you available?"
"Is it serious? If it can't wait, I can also make time this afternoon."
"That would be perfect."
Bai Qingzhu arranged a time with him.
After hanging up, Miaomiao said unhappily, "Mommy, you have to go to work just after returning home, didn't we plan to go buy a car together?"
She gently stroked her head, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection, then squatted down to explain, "A doctor's heart is a parent's heart. Since Mommy does this work, I can't ignore a patient in need. Miaomiao, I hope you can understand Mommy."
Miaomiao had heard such words too many times to count, but every time Mommy really had time, she would spend it with her.
"Okay, fine, I'll let you go."
Bai Qingzhu smiled and kissed her forehead, "Baby, Mommy loves you."
"Miaomiao loves Mommy too."
Dongfang Ling shook his head helplessly, "You're really something, right back to work as soon as you return. You're such a workaholic."
"By the way, I haven't asked how Uncle and Auntie Dongfang are doing. Do they need me to come over and check on them?"
"They're doing well. Let me tell you, my grandparents also said that if anyone feels unwell, they'll definitely come to you. You can't even run away if you wanted to."
Bai Qingzhu couldn't help but laugh, "Well, I don't want to run away. Don't worry!"
Then we parted ways, and she arrived early at the agreed-upon location.
Bai Qingzhu hadn't expected that standing there, she would see someone familiar—Xiao Yeli.
Her breath seemed to stop. When she had left five years ago, she hadn't told him. Coming back this time, she knew she would definitely see him again, but hadn't expected it would be so soon.
Still unsure of what courage she would use to face him, she had imagined all kinds of scenarios in her mind. But before she could take a step forward, another person got out of the car—it was Xia Xiaoxiao.
Instinctively, she stepped aside a little.
Then the two of them walked into the hotel very affectionately and began to kiss passionately as if no one else was around.
It was becoming quite difficult for her to breathe.
Five years had passed, and she had never expected that their reunion would be under such circumstances. It was understandable that Xiao Yeli would have a girlfriend; no one could wait five years for someone.
But why did it have to be Xia Xiaoxiao?
