Ch.103 We’re Family (1)

Lin Yueqi didn’t think that Lu Ting and little bun still found her despite moving from A City to B City, even into this desolate and remote neighborhood.

They haven’t seen each other for two months. Lu Ting had dark circles under his eyes and his face had sunken a bit; he even got skinnier, dispirited. He looked devastated, probably the result of being both the mother and father for the past two months. He didn’t sleep that well.

Little bun hadn’t seen her mother for two months or so, so she was holding onto her clothes right now, refusing to let go. The little girl’s tears constantly flowed down her face, but she tightly pursed her lips and held in her cries. He lifted the back of her hand and constantly wiped the tears falling down her face.

Lin Yueqi felt horrible. She kneeled down and wiped the little bun’s tears. “Wah. Sister bun, don’t cry. Who said I don’t want you? Didn’t I say I’ll be back in at most a year?”

The little girl hugged her neck while she was at it and buried her face into Lin Yueqi’s armpit. With a sobbing tone, “Mommy, don’t think about escaping again.”

“I didn’t…”

The moment she finished her words, the tall man standing by the door looked down at her and said faintly, “In the two months that you were gone, I invited Aunt Li to A City. If it weren’t for her, I probably wouldn’t be able to handle this little thing. After you left, she refused to let anyone sleep with her. Sometimes, she covered her head with the blankets in the middle of the night and cried softly. In the morning when she woke up, she would always ask when her mommy would come back.”

Lin Yueqi didn’t think that her note would hurt little bun that much. She really underestimated her feelings for her.

She didn’t know a lot of things actually.

Ever since little bun could remember things, Lin Yueqi had been working hard in the entertainment circle. She rarely came home even on holidays.

Since she started dreaming, she dreamed of her mother leaving or abandoning her…whenever she woke up, her heart ached so badly that she couldn’t breathe. She was scared of her grandmother asking her why she was crying, so she curled up into a ball under the covers and secretly cried.

Lin Yueqi carried the little child. While patting her back, she coaxed in a low voice, “Sister bun, Qiqi is wrong. Qiqi shouldn’t have left you. Can you stop crying?”

“Okay…” Little bun wiped her tears and snots on Lin Yueqi’s shoulders. She choked out, “Okay…if little bun doesn’t cry, Qiqi won’t leave?”

“Yes.” Lin Yueqi lifted two fingers and swore, facing the ceiling. “I swear and promise that this won’t happen again in the future. If it happens again…then I won’t be able to open my own supermarket!”

The little chubby girl lifted her chubby palm as well. “Promise.”

Lin Yueqi also lifted her palm and gently touched the little bun’s chubby palm. “I promise! Even four Lu Tings can’t break my promise.”

The little girl also knitted her brows tightly and said seriously, “Promise! Even four daddies can’t break my promise.”

The neglected Lu Ting at the door was speechless. It seemed like he was always a supporting role and was invisible in front of the daughter and mother.

However, he gladly accepted this.

Lin Yueqi hugged the little chubby girl for a while before hurriedly shoving her to Lu Ting’s arms after her arms became sore. She pointed at the bedroom and said, “There’s no place to put the sofa in the living room. You guys can sit on the bed in my bedroom. I’m going to pour a glass of water for you guys.”

Lu Ting and little bun just noticed that Lin Yueqi had changed a lot. There was no sofa in the living room because the space was taken up by the exercise machines.
