Shang Xiaomo followed her into the Principal's office and found Qi Qi's report. After signing it and taking it for approval, this series of procedures was rather troublesome to handle, it would require at least two to three days for Shang Xiaomo to truly be Qi Qi's mother.
After Shang Xiaomo prepared all the materials the Principal wanted her to prepare, she gave all the remaining trifling matters to the Principal for her to handle.
Thinking to this point, Shang Xiaomo felt a little sad. The joy on her face was replaced by faint worry, and she strove hard to prevent herself from thinking about those unhappy things.
The moment Shang Xiaomo entered the canteen, she immediately saw Qi Qi who was obediently sitting on the table and eating lunch.
Before she could even call out to Qi Qi, Qi Qi had obviously seen her too. Her eyes showed signs of happiness, and she gave her a sweet smile before rushing over excitedly. She was overjoyed.
"Auntie Su, you're here." Qi Qi ran over to Shang Xiaomo's side and looked at her favorite aunt with her shiny black eyes.
"Mm, I came to see you. Are you happy?" Shang Xiaomo caught Qi Qi who was rushing over and carried him.
Shang Xiaomo lightly scratched Qi Qi's nose.
"Qi Qi, you can't call me Auntie Su anymore. I have a new name now, Shang Xiaomo.
Qi Qi opened her eyes wide, her eyes filled with suspicions, and she asked.
"Why?"
Shang Xiaomo said patiently: "Because Auntie found her family, I'm surnamed Shang."
Auntie has found her family, when will Qi Qi find her family? Qi Qi lowered her head, leaned on Shang Xiaomo's shoulder, and said while feeling a little wronged.
When Shang Xiaomo heard Qi Qi's obvious sobbing, her heart softened as she said this in a gentle tone.
"Actually, Qi Qi has already found it."
"Where? Where are Qi Qi's family members? " When Qi Qi, who was feeling low just a moment ago heard this, suddenly raised her head and looked at her with her bright eyes.
"Right here, I will be Qi Qi's mother from now on." Shang Xiaomo smiled gently at Qi Qi, and kissed Qi Qi with all her might on her smooth and white face.
"Really? Su … No, Auntie Shang, is what you said true? You want to be my mother? " Qi Qi felt that the most excited news was nothing more than this, so she asked again and again to confirm that what Shang Xiaomo said was true.
She secretly swore in her heart that in the future, she would not let Qi Qi suffer even the slightest bit of grievance. She would treat her well, and compensate her for all the motherly love she had lost over the years.
"I have a mother, I have a mother." Qi Qi did not feel Shang Xiaomo's sudden sadness, she was only immersed in the joy of having a mother.
"Then should I call you Auntie or Mom from now on?"
Qi Qi asked.
"Mom, of course." Shang Xiaomo replied.
After hearing the answer, Qi Qi's smile became even brighter. The laughter was like a string of silver bells hitting each other, creating a pleasant sound.
"Mom …" Mommy, can I tell this news to my friends? " Although Qi Qi liked it a lot …
Shang Xiaomo's face was still slightly red as she stuttered for Shang Xiaomo's mother.
Shang Xiaomo's heart trembled, she had waited so long for her mother to say those words, but now her daughter had opened her eyes wide and shouted out with incomparable sincerity.
She felt like crying. Her beautiful eyes were shining with tears as she spoke in a choked voice.
"Go."
She put Qi Qi down and started dancing with joy as she went to find her friends. She told them she had a mother, too.
As Shang Xiaomo watched from afar, for a moment, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
She stood there in a daze, watching Qi Qi and her playmates play and play without worry. She seemed to be infected by that pure happiness, and her two dimples gave birth to a faint smile.
After about an hour, the dean found Shang Xiaomo and told her that the approval procedures were still around two days away, meaning that Shang Xiaomo would not be able to bring Qi Qi away for the time being.
"Thank you, Principal." Shang Xiaomo sincerely thanked the Principal and on one hand, it was because the Principal took good care of her daughter.
How could the dean have known that there were so many twists and turns in the process? She felt extremely flattered. She had watched these children grow up, so finding a good family for them was something that she, as the dean, could do.
As for the young lady in front of her, she frequently came to the orphanage to visit Qi Qi, and she was extremely close to her, so when she asked to adopt her, she immediately agreed without thinking. The dean was very happy for Qi Qi.
Shang Xiaomo knew that she would only be able to bring Qi Qi in two days, and her heart was filled with unwillingness to part with her.
But because of these rules, she couldn't do that.
She looked at Qi Qi who was far away, and then turned around and said to the Principal in a soft voice.
Dean, Qi Qi just called me Mama, can you let me take Qi Qi away today? I want to understand her better so that she can get used to the new environment.
"This... "Sure." Initially, she could not take away before the approval procedures arrive, but Shang Xiaomo's love for Qi Qi had already been seen by everyone, so the Principal decided to make an exception for her.
Shang Xiaomo waved to Qi Qi, who was playing happily, and called her. Hearing the voice, Qi Qi bade farewell to her friends and ran to her side.
"Mother Principal is the best, then I will leave with Qi Qi. Goodbye."
"Goodbye." Qi Qi imitated Shang Xiaomo's actions and said to the Principal sweetly.
Shang Xiaomo bid farewell to the welfare home, pulled Qi Qi's hand, hailed a taxi, and went back to the Shang clan.
