Chu He hesitated for a moment before saying, “You should know my contact details! When their relatives arrive, help me tell them that Sheng’er is at my house, don’t worry about the child, I will take good care of her! They can take the child home after they have settled their funeral matters, there’s no hurry.”
“Sure.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Gu Jinglian and Butler Fu turned around when Chu He came out through the doorway. They saw that her rather grave expression, which probably confirmed their guess.
“Have you ascertained?”
“Yes, it’s confirmed, it’s Sheng’er’s mother.”
“Oh dear, what do we do now? Sheng’er is expecting her mother to come take her home! What a pity…” Butler Fu felt very regretful and deeply sympathetic. He was also very fond of the well-behaved and sensible Sheng’er, and thinking of how she had lost her parents at such a young age made him all the more emotional!
Chu He said, “We’ll apply for leave tomorrow for Baby Chu and Sheng’er. Let’s keep this news from them before Sheng’er’s relatives come to take her home.”
She had no idea how she should inform the girl about this matter. How would such a young child be able to come to terms with the fact that her parents had died in a car accident!
It was already one in the morning by the time they got home. Chu He walked into the room and saw that the two kids were still sleeping soundly, so she quietly left.
Baby Chu only woke up in the morning and saw that Sheng’er was curled up like a little kitten, breathing quietly. He instinctively reached out and gently pinched her cheeks. Then holding back his laughter, he continued looking at her, fascinated!
Sheng’er is so cute!
The more Baby Chu looked at her, the more he liked her. He could not help leaning over and planting a kiss on her forehead.
Even though his movements were light, it startled her.
Sheng’er had not yet opened her eyes, but her brows were slightly furrowed. She stretched out her tiny hand and gently rubbed her eyes before slowly opening them. When she saw Baby Chu lying prone, with his chin resting on his hands, she smiled brightly.
“Morning, Baby Chu!”
“Good morning, Sheng’er!”
The two little guys looked at each other and grinned.
Butler Fu walked into the room bringing a fresh change of clothes. Sheng’er did not bring any clothes to change into, so Butler Fu dressed her in Baby Chu’s clothes.
The good thing was that she was a child, so she did not kick up a fuss about it. Apart from the sleeves and pants being too long, Baby Chu’s clothes fit her rather well.
After the two boys had finished their breakfast, Butler Fu told them that the kindergarten was on holiday and it would be closed for two days. He said that he would take them to the amusement park.
Baby Chu was naturally very excited when he heard this, but Sheng’er was a little conflicted and asked timidly, “Has Mommy not come to take me home?”
“Uh…”
Sheng’er’s heart sank. A day had passed and her parents still had not come for her. Could it be that they had abandoned her? The little girl was very sensitive, and indeed, a day had passed without any news. Sheng’er was naturally anxious!
Butler Fu reassured her again. “Your auntie has already gone to look for your mother! Perhaps, when you come back from the amusement park, your mother will be waiting to take you home!”
“Really?” Sheng’er naturally believed his words, so that put her in a better mood.
After breakfast, Butler Fu took the two kids to the amusement park.
However, the fact was that it wasn’t a holiday at the kindergarten.
Chu He had applied for leave and gone to the kindergarten.. She contacted the form teacher and spoke to her about this matter.
