Listening to his daughter's sleep talk, Ruan Bai couldn't help stretching out his hand, holding the soft little hand in his palm.

The little girl's hands were a little cold, so Ruan Bai wrapped her daughter's hands with his own and warmed her hands.

Maybe it was because my strength was a bit too heavy, so I let out a soft groan, and opened my confused eyes.

The little girl, who was half-sane, called out delicately, "Mom?"

Ruan Bai tucked up the quilt for her daughter, and said softly, "Woke up Ruan Ruan? It's still early, so you can sleep again."

Ruan Ruan rubbed his eyes with the other hand, and said expectantly: "Mom, is Dad back? I just dreamed about Dad. Dad brought a lot of toys to my brother and me. He also told us that we should Take us to Disneyland...Mom, Dad has been away on business for so long, when will he come back? I really miss Dad..."

The daughter's words made the corners of Ruan Bai's eyes sore and unbearable.

She stroked Ruanrou's little head, and said softly: "Dad will come back, as long as Ruanruan obediently eats every day, goes to school obediently, and obediently listens to mother's words, daddy will be back soon."

She didn't want to lie to her children either, but she couldn't face the sad news of Mu Shaoling's absence as an adult, let alone such a young child.

Sometimes white lies are necessary, but she really doesn't know how long this lie can last.

Mu Zhanbai woke up at some point, listening to the conversation between his mother and his sister, the boy kept staring at his mother with his beautiful eyes.

"Zhan Zhan, you're awake too? Mom, go and pour some warm water for you..." Ruan Bai sensed her son's gaze, her eyes flickered unconsciously, and got up to pour water for the children.

Zhan Zhan is more mature than his younger sister. He is not as easy to coax as the innocent Ruan Ruan. Every time she sees her son's eyes that seem to know everything, she feels a little embarrassed.

living room.

As soon as Ruan Bai finished pouring water in the living room, she was about to go up the stairs with a thermos, when she saw Zhan Zhan in cartoon pajamas, standing at the stairs and waiting for her.

"Why are you up? Go to bed quickly." Ruan Bai urged.

"Mom, I want to ask you a question." Mu Zhanbai stood upright like a young poplar, and his pair of peach-blossom eyes similar to Mu Shaoling stared right at Ruan Bai.

Ruan Bai put down his water glass, squatted down, and looked at his son at the same level.

She held her son's small body in her arms and said, "What does Zhan Zhan want to ask?"

The little guy seemed to hesitate for a moment, pursed his lips, and finally asked: "Mom, did something happen to Dad? Is he not coming back?"

Ruan Bai's heart suddenly tightened because of his son's words: "Zhan Zhan, why did you say that? Didn't Mom tell you that Dad just went abroad on business, because he wanted to develop a new market, so he was very nervous. Busy, wait..."

Mu Zhanbai bit his lips and interrupted Ruan Bai's words: "Mom, I heard you talking with Uncle Nangong a few days ago. Uncle Nangong said that something happened to Dad, and he hasn't found Dad yet... You can lie to my sister It is said that Dad is on a business trip, but I know that Dad is not on a business trip at all, something happened to him..."

Ruan Bai felt very uncomfortable. She didn't expect her son to know the truth a long time ago. Maybe he has been suppressing it in his heart. Today he couldn't hold it anymore, so he asked her for the truth.

Kissing Mu Zhanbai's little face, Ruan Bai endured his sadness and said to him: "It is true that something happened to your father, but mother believes that he must still be alive and live well in a corner of the world. Zhan Zhan, you want Believe in what mom says, and you have to trust dad even more. He is so powerful and almost omnipotent, how could he disappear so easily, right? Mom is too busy during this time, after a while, mom will take you to find dad, I Think, your father must be waiting for us somewhere..."

Mu Zhanbai looked at his mother's hopeful eyes, nodded, and hugged Ruan Bai's neck tightly: "Well, Mom, I believe your words, and I believe that Dad is still there. Although Dad is not at home now, I will take care of him. You and my sister, and our little brother... I believe that we and Dad will be reunited, that is... Mom, don't cry secretly in the middle of the night, okay? Zhan Zhan will feel distressed..."

"Okay, baby son." Ruan Bai hugged his son tightly and smiled with tears in his eyes.

Thank God for giving her this little warm boy, who gave her the courage and motivation to continue to live well when she was most desperate and helpless.

...

the next day.

Ruan Bai was woken up early in the morning by the phone ringing.

She answered the phone, and Mr. Mu asked her to take the three children back to the old house.

Mr. Mu's tone was very anxious, as if something important was about to happen.

Ruan Bai originally thought that it was because she brought the twins back to the villa and the old man missed his grandson so much, so he promised him to take them back when the children got up.

Because of Mu Shaoling's absence, Zhang Yali's attitude towards her was even worse. In addition, Zhang Yali had always stubbornly believed that Ruan Bai was the culprit of causing her son's accident, and she was even more cold-hearted towards her. Therefore, unless there is something important, , she seldom goes back to the old house.

Ruan Bai fell into deep thought. Due to various reasons, Mr. Mu rarely invited her back to the old house, but today, grandpa suddenly called urgently, and his tone was uncompromising. What's going on?

The driver of Mu's family came early to pick up Ruan Bai's mother and son.

After the two children woke up, Ruan Bai took them, and Xiao Taotao, who was sleeping soundly in the swaddling baby, back to the old house with the driver.

As soon as he walked into the living room of the old house, Ruan Bai felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

The living room was full of people, Mr. Mu who was sitting on the sofa, Zhang Yali who was dismissive, Cai Xiufen who was cold-eyed, and Mu Ruicheng who looked blank.

On the other end of the sofa, there were old master Lin, Secretary Lin and his wife, and even brothers and sisters Lin Lang and Lin Lin.

Ruan Bai held Xiao Taotao in his arms, his heart trembled, why are there so many people in the old house today?

Seeing Ruan Bai walk in, Secretary Lin and his wife were obviously excited.

Seeing Ruan Bai approaching, Old Master Mu waved to her kindly: "Xiao Bai is back? Come and sit down with Grandpa, let me see my little great-grandson..."

"Grandpa, why are there so many guests here today?" Ruan Bai held Taotao in his arms, and sat next to Mr. Mu nervously, completely confused about the situation in front of him.

Old man Mu didn't answer her, because he couldn't wait to see little Taotao. The old man's old hand wanted to touch Taotao in the swaddling baby, but when he saw the little guy sleeping soundly, he stopped abruptly, and turned to Looking at Ruan Bai with complicated eyes...
