When Xu Mo received Lu Qing's call, he was also very surprised. After what happened earlier, his opinion of Lu Qing had changed by a lot.
However, to be honest, he only had Ning Xiaoxiao's relationship with Lu Qing. The relationship between Lu Qing and Ning Xiaoxiao had turned icy over the past few days. Naturally, it would not intersect with his.
He picked up the call, but there was no sound coming from the other side of the phone for a long time. Xu Mo fed it for a few times before hearing Lu Qing's voice.
In Xu Mo's memories, Lu Qing's voice was always like ice. There wasn't much temperature, nor was there much fluctuation. Most of the successful people liked to remain emotionless.
Today, Lu Qing's voice was exceptionally low and hoarse. Although it was still the same as before, without much change in his emotions, it was no longer as cold as it was in the past.
"Go to the south side of the city and take a look?"
Ever since Xu Mo had taken over the Xu family, Ning Xiaoxiao had not come looking for him for a long time. Everyone had misunderstood that Ning Xiaoxiao was a willful and unruly person, but only Xu Mo knew how empathetic she was.
The Xu family was not his ideal home. Since he was not good at managing his business, Ning Xiaoxiao no longer bothered with him.
However, based on his understanding of Ning Xiaoxiao, he must have brought little bun with him to the south side of the city.
The phrase 'South of the city' was heard by Lu Qing. He had never known that Ning Xiaoxiao would have a house in the South of the city.
Xu Mo's phone once again rang with a long silence. The two of them then fell silent. In the end, Xu Mo really couldn't stand such silence and hung up the phone.
Lu Qing looked at the garden, and heard the sound of the hanging sticks hanging by his ear. It turned out that all these years, he had been in the wrong.
"Mommy, I want to go out and play!"
Since Ning Xiaoxiao did not work that day, the little bun's fever had abated a bit. He quickly regained his usual prideful appearance.
He had just posted a piece of Fever Paste and was already jumping around in the living room.
Ning Xiaoxiao rarely visited this house in the south of the city, let alone the little bun. Thus, the little bun became spirited and started to properly tour around the house.
Ning Xiaoxiao met Lu Qing when she was 18 years old. She also received this house when she was 18 years old. This was the only inheritance that Shao Qiyu had left her.
The style of the house was simple, but everything had been bought according to the things she loved most when she was young.
For example, the tatami on the balcony and the small table on the tatami were the things that Ning Xiaoxiao had said to Shao Qiyu countless times when she was young.
This was also the reason why Ning Xiaoxiao rarely came to the south side of the city. The moment she stepped into this room, her mark would be everywhere, even though she did not have Shao Qiyu's aura.
Ning Xiaoxiao was holding the porridge she wanted to give to little bun in her hands. Looking at the little bun jumping around on the tatami, her mind wandered back to her childhood.
When Shao Qiyu was still here, she would always ask Ning Xiaoxiao if she had any boys she liked. Every time, Ning Xiaoxiao would blush and bury herself in the blanket.
Later on, he finally had a boy he liked, but his mother was no longer there. She and Lu Qing had been married for so many years.
Lu Qing had never asked about his mother, and he himself had never brought Lu Qing to see his mother.
Now that he thought about it, his marriage was truly hilarious. It didn't have any intimacy, but more like a lonely couple living together.
"Can I?"
The little bun's words pulled Ning Xiaoxiao back to her thoughts. Her marriage with Lu Qing was undoubtedly a failure, but in a failed marriage, the little bun was her only gain.
"Of course you can!"
The little bun had already lost his fever. Moreover, based on his active personality, he would definitely go play around everywhere.
In the future, she and little bun would have to live in the apartments in the south of the city most of the time. Therefore, it wasn't bad for her to bring little bun along and familiarize herself with the surrounding environment.
Ning Xiaoxiao readily agreed to the little bun's request, and the mother and son quickly went downstairs.
There wasn't much food left in the apartment. Ning Xiaoxiao and little bun planned to make a trip to the supermarket first. The little bun that entered the supermarket didn't look like a sick child at all.
He looked around to see if anything was wrong.
The mother and son were happily shopping in the supermarket and didn't know that someone was looking for them. They hadn't slept for the whole night and had almost overturned An Hai.
Two people carrying large bags came out of the supermarket. They saw a man standing not too far away from the supermarket.
When the mother and son saw Lu Qing, they were both stunned on the spot. Lu Qing also just stood there, looking at his wife and son.
The little bun was the first to react and ran into his father's embrace. After hugging the little bun, Lu Qing looked straight at Ning Xiaoxiao.
Seeing Lu Qing, Ning Xiaoxiao was a little taken aback. After all, she had hidden herself well in the southern part of the city.
However, upon confirming that it was Lu Qing himself, Ning Xiaoxiao reacted quickly. It was likely that Xu Mo had told him.
Lu Qing gave Ning Xiaoxiao a deep look before striding over to hug her.
Lu Qing's hands were very long, and he used a lot of strength when he was hugging Ning Xiaoxiao. Very soon, she felt that she was unable to breathe.
However, Lu Qing did not seem to have the intention of letting go. Ning Xiaoxiao could not help but pat his back, indicating that he should let go.
Lu Qing probably wanted to move her as well. Instead, he tightened his grip and stuck his mouth close to Ning Xiaoxiao's ear.
"You don't understand, you don't understand!"
Lu Qing said 'you don't understand', and Ning Xiaoxiao did not understand the meaning behind his sudden action. She only knew that she could no longer breathe.
Ning Xiaoxiao didn't understand, but Lu Qing understood the feeling of having lost something.
Love had been the condiment of his life, and he had thought that people like him did not need love.
It was only when Ning Xiaoxiao appeared again and again in his life, breaking the rules he believed in time and time again, that Lu Qing finally realized how childish he used to be.
If he could reverse the flow of time now, he would definitely ask Ning Xiaoxiao to dance the first time he saw her.
He would lightly leave a kiss on her forehead, a sincere kiss, not because she was Ning Weishan's daughter.
He would pacify his little bride before the wedding. He would let her wear the most beautiful wedding dress and marry him peacefully instead of wearing simple jeans and completing the marriage that left people at a loss to laugh or to cry.
However, the passage of time was something that no one was able to reverse. The only thing he could do now was to properly love her for the rest of the time.
The confused Ning Xiaoxiao pushed Lu Qing away. It was unknown what kind of crazy behavior this person had.
Lu Qing was pushed back by Ning Xiaoxiao's immense strength, but he acted as if nothing had happened. A brilliant smile appeared on his face as he continued to hug Ning Xiaoxiao.
