Tina brought Su Zhiqian in front of Ruan Bai. The two chatted in the office for a long time. They didn't know what they talked about, but Ruan Bai decided to go to the field to investigate the project that Su Zhiqian was optimistic about the next day.
...
night.
Ruan Bai returned home exhausted, but the moment she saw Taotao in the cradle, all exhaustion dissipated.
Tao Tao looks very much like Mu Shaoling, no matter his black grape-like eyes, tall nose, or pink mouth, they are all carved out of the same mold as his father.
And what the baby inherited from Ruan Bai was his long and dense eyelashes, as well as his translucent snow-white skin.
"Mom's little baby, are you well-behaved today? Do you miss your mother?" Ruan Bai took off his coat, gently carried Taotao out of the cradle, teased him, and asked the nanny by the way: "Taotao today Didn't make a fuss?"
"Yeah..." The baby seemed to be responding to Ruan Bai's words, grinning at her, spitting out a small string of milk bubbles.
"No, no, ma'am, your baby is so well-behaved. He didn't cry all day. He loves to laugh and obeys. He's really easy to take care of. It's so cute. To be honest, I After being a confinement wife for so many years, I have taken care of hundreds of babies, at least dozens, and I have never seen a baby who is as easy to take care of as Taotao."
Sister-in-law Lin looked at the loving interaction between mother and child, and replied with a smile.
She is telling the truth, the owner of this family, the mistress is beautiful and gentle, she has a very good attitude towards these aunts, and does not treat them as outsiders at all; while the little master is beautiful and cute, she has inherited the best genes of her parents , at first glance, people like it very much.
It's just that this family lacks a capable hostess, and sometimes they feel distressed when they see the hostess is busy like a spinning top every day.
Ruan Bai said to the confinement wife: "I'm busy with work these days, Taotao will trouble you."
Another confinement wife said in a rambling manner: "This is what we should do, ma'am. You should not work too hard and take care of your body. Women have just come out of confinement. If you make yourself too tired, Even if you are confinement, you will suffer from confinement disease... It would be great if the husband is still there, he is such a good man, no matter what, he is reluctant to let you suffer."
Sister-in-law Lin gave Sister-in-law Zhou a hard abduction with her elbow, and she suddenly realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said.
Before they came, they all had a general understanding of the family's situation. Looking into Ruan Bai's sad eyes, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly covered her mouth: "I'm sorry, ma'am, I..."
"It's okay, you guys prepare dinner first, I'll take Taotao to the garden for a stroll." Ruan Bai turned his back to them, endured the sadness in his eyes, hugged Taotao, and walked towards the garden.
Looking at the lonely and strong back of the hostess, the two confinement sisters looked at each other, sighed, and went about their own affairs.
Ruan Bai carried Taotao to the back garden.
The faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus is refreshing, and there are many autumn green plants planted in the garden, which are still blooming vigorously in this season.
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sea of flowers, refracting a dreamlike light, which makes people feel peaceful after seeing it.
Ruan Bai sat on a rattan chair in the middle of the garden, Taotao in his arms opened a pair of big round eyes, and looked at his mother with a smile.
From time to time, he spat out a few baby words, as if whispering to his mother: "Yeah... oh..."
Ruan Bai looked at the miniature version of his son's face, which resembled Mu Shaoling's, and couldn't help but kissed his delicate face, the tip of his nose was sore, "Baby, tell mom, when will dad come back?"
Perhaps feeling the mother's sad mood, the baby who always loves to laugh, couldn't help curling his mouth, looking like he was about to cry, suddenly in Ruan Bai's arms, he burst into tears: "Wow..."
Ruan Bai hurriedly suppressed his sadness, began to shake him, and coaxed Taotao gently: "Hey, don't cry, mom loves you..."
The little guy suddenly grinned happily, touching his mother's face with his chubby little hands, his "giggle" smile made people's hearts melt.
Although this child is only two months old, he is really a ghost, Ruan Bai thought in amazement.
At this moment, Ruan Bai's mobile phone on the table rang.
The nanny took her mobile phone to the garden and handed it to her: "Madam, the phone from the old house."
Ruan Bai took the phone and pressed the video call, and the image of Ruan Ruan crying came over: "Mom, you haven't seen me and brother for a week, we miss you so much, when will you come to see us? Dad is not here , does it mean that you don’t want me and my brother after you have a little brother?”
Ruan Bai's appearance of weeping like pear blossoms with rain made Ruan Bai very worried.
She handed Taotao to the nanny, motioned for her to take Taotao back to the room, and began to gently comfort her daughter: "Why, Mom has always loved you and brother very much, but it's just that I'm busy with work and don't have time to go to the house. Old house. When mom finishes her work tomorrow, I will pick you and brother home, okay?"
Because Ruan Bai was really busy during this time, Mr. Mu was afraid that she would not be able to take care of the three children alone, so he let the twins stay in the old house, and only asked her to take Taotao.
But children are still very sensitive after all. Their father never showed up, and their mother did not visit them in the old house. Coupled with the birth of Taotao, they felt that they were abandoned by their mother, and they felt very sad.
"Mom, my brother and I are waiting for you to pick us up. We miss our little brother very much. Let me and my brother have a look at Taotao..." Ruanrou looked at her mother in the video, but Taotao was alone, she was a little disappointed deflated mouth:
"My brother was taken down by my aunt to rest. When you go home tomorrow, you will see him naturally. Zhan Zhan, you have to take good care of your sister, and you have to listen to your grandfather at home, and don't be naughty, you know?" She asked Mu Zhanbai like this , Knowing that this son has always been a peace of mind, I am not too worried about him.
Mu Zhanbai put his hands in his pockets coolly: "I know, Mom, you don't have to worry about me and my sister, just take care of yourself."
After hanging up the video call, Ruan Bai felt tired.
She feels that she is not a qualified and competent mother and has not taken good care of her children, but because she has to take care of the baby Taotao, she has no way or energy to take care of her three children now.
She is really sorry for Zhan Zhan and Ruan Ruan brothers and sisters.
...
The next day, Ruan Bai took several manager-level subordinates to investigate the project team proposed by Su Zhiqian. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly met someone on the way.
