Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Tilting her head, Xiao Liuliu faced her tiny fingers and replied, “Call Daddi along then, it wouldn’t be boring with three people around.”
Her daughter knew her the best.
She knew what to say.
Nian Xiaomu planted a kiss on Xiao Liuliu’s cheek and flagged a cab to take her back to the Yu Family villa.
She saw the butler waiting at the entrance the moment she got out of the car.
As Nian Xiaomu held onto Xiao Liuliu’s hand, the first thing she did was to glance behind the butler’s back nervously. When she did not see Yu Yuehan, she hesitated for a moment but did not ask him anything.
Instead, she held onto Xiao Liuliu’s hand and walked toward the living room naturally.
The moment Xiao Liuliu entered the living room and saw the toys on the coffee table, she rushed forward immediately; carrying a pile of models on her hand, she pestered Nian Xiaomu to piece them together with her.
Nian Xiaomu did not say anything and sat down on the sofa to piece the model with Xiao Liuliu. Even though she was physically there making the model, she did not fully put her heart into doing the activity.
When she had not seen Yu Yuehan after searching the living room, she subconsciously shifted her gaze toward the direction of the staircase landing.
She remembered that whenever Xiao Liuliu was back in the past, Yu Yuehan would still especially head downstairs no wonder how busy he was; he would kiss and hug his little princess before he returned to the study room to complete his work.
Why was there no sound of activity today?
Could it be that he was severely ill and could not get up from bed?
Nian Xiaomu felt a little jittery when she thought of this.
As she stared at Xiao Liuliu, who was concentrating on playing with her toys, she let out two coughs.
Xiao Liuliu did not react.
The said tacit understanding of a mother and daughter had met with a crisis here.
Instead, the butler could not take it any longer when he heard that she was dry coughing incessantly and went forward to ask, “Miss Nian, is your throat feeling uncomfortable? Do you need me to boil a bowl of pear soup for you?”
“…”
Just when she was about to reject his offer, the butler turned around and walked toward the kitchen.
It was too late to regret it.
As Nian Xiaomu leaned closer to Xiao Liuliu, she took the model from her hands. Then, she grabbed onto her tiny shoulder and squatted down to talk to her.
“Xiao Liuliu, don’t you think that it’s boring to piece the model with the two of us?”
“Is it boring? Nah, Xiao Liuliu is very happy to play with Mommi” Xiao Liuliu replied in a childish voice.
“…”
The tacit understanding of both mother and daughter met with yet another crisis again.
Nian Xiaomu was stunned by her reply and remained silent for a while. As she took a glance at the complex model before her, her eyes suddenly lit up and she pointed to the toughest one. “But this is too difficult, Mummy does not know how to piece it together. How?”
“No worries, Xiao Liuliu knows how to do it, Xiao Liuliu can teach you!” As the squishy little ball spoke, she had already grabbed the model over and started to piece it together with all seriousness.
“…”
Nian Xiaomu stared at the complex model. When she saw that the three-year-old child seemed to be piecing it together with minimum effort, her hopes were instantly dashed.
Xiao Liuliu, you know too much…
As Nian Xiaomu could not find an excuse to head upstairs, she could only squat on the sofa obediently and accompany Xiao Liuliu while she pieced the model together.
She had picked the toughest one as if she was torturing herself.
She finally finished piecing the model together after a whole deal of effort.
Without warning, Xiao Liuliu, who had totally forgotten Yu Yuehan earlier on, suddenly seemed to have thought of him now as she hugged the completed model and sprinted upstairs.
She was even shouting excitedly, “I wanna show it to Daddi. Mommi and Xiao Liuliu are the best!”
“…”
Nian Xiaomu stayed rooted on the sofa as she watched her soft and squishy figure disappear on the staircase landing.
She snapped back to her senses and stood up as well. Then, she shouted out in an exceptionally loud voice.
“Xiao Liuliu, slow down, don’t fall down!”
As she raised her eyebrows, she hid the smile at the corner of her lips and dashed upstairs!
