Ning Xiang didn't go look for Dad in his office; instead, he waited in the car with Grandma and saw Liu Zheng coming to pick up her car. He slid out of the car and rushed towards her, like a little meatball bumping into her and hugging her legs.
"Mom! Xiangxiang missed you so much!" Ning Xiang tilted up his little head, his face brimming with a smile that was both shy and eager.
Every time she saw Ning Xiang, Ruan Liuzheng's heart softened instantaneously, and she squatted down to cradle his little face. "Xiangxiang, are you here to pick up Dad?"
"Yes!" Ning Xiang nodded, "and to pick up Mom!"
"To pick me up?" She felt a slight surprise.
"Yep!" Ning Xiang nodded vigorously again. "Mom, Dad said you agreed to go with me to buy a puppy, right?"
So that was it...
"Yes!" She had indeed promised, just without specifying when to go. Since Ning Xiang was there, she couldn't bear to let him down.
