Ning Jiang ordered a menu and said to Luo Hanshang: "After lunch, let the aunties rest. This afternoon, the kitchen has been contracted by me."
"Whatever, my only request is to have something to eat."
In the afternoon, Ning Jiang was busy to the point of being disoriented, cooking soup on one side and wrapping dumplings on the other.
After wrapping the dumplings, she also stir-fried a few dishes.
By the time Rolo finished his homework and was sent over by his aunt, she was already in the kitchen, having finished her lesson.
In order to not make Ning Jiang feel too awkward, Luo Hanshang pushed away his wine table with his brothers and stayed home, accompanying them to eat dinner.
Once Luo Luo had arrived, Ning Jiang ran out of the room.
She looked at him with a radiant smile, "Rolo, you must be hungry. Give me ten minutes, and we can start eating."
"Alright." Rolo smiled at her shyly.
Ning Jiang ran back to the kitchen and Luo Luo sat in the living room next to Luo Hanshang.
Luo Hanshang ruffled her hair and said: "My Luo Luo has grown up, now you know how to go down the stairs."
Luo Luo laughed, "I've grown up anyway."
"Since you gave my wife face, say it, this summer, where do you want to play, Second Uncle has decided."
"Anywhere?"
Luo Hanshang nodded: "Of course, as long as it's not a dangerous place."
"Then I'll keep it. I'll tell you when I think about it."
"Alright."
"Also …" Well, after dinner, can you avoid it for a little while? I have something to say to Second Aunt. "
Luo Hanshang was speechless, was he in the way?
"Can't you tell me first?"
"Of course not, this is our woman's secret."
Luo Hanshang laughed, what kind of woman was this?
"Oh yeah, Second Uncle, you and Second Aunt really haven't divorced, right?"
"Do you need the Second Uncle to give you your marriage certificate? Take it to the Civil Affairs Bureau to check if it's real or fake?"
"I'm not going. I believe in the Second Uncle."
Ning Jiang came out, "Two Young Masters and Young Miss of Luo Family, have come to eat."
They got up together and went to the table.
Rolo looked happier than last night.
"Wow, I've missed Second Aunt's dumplings for a long time."
Ning Jiang looked at her, Luo Luo's words moved her.
After she set up the tableware, the three of them had a very warm dinner.
After dinner, Luo Hanshang said to Ning Jiang: "I'm going out for a while, I have some matters to take care of.
"Got it, go ahead."
After Luo Hanshang left, Ning Jiang asked Luo Luo if she wanted to eat fruits, so she went to prepare some.
Luo Luo pulled Ning Jiang's hand, "Second Aunt, I want to bring you to a place."
"Now?"
"Mn, it's not far, it's inside the Luo Garden."
Ning Jiang stood up and allowed Luo Luo to pull her. After the two of them walked out of the Hanyi House, they passed through the pavilion in the front courtyard and arrived at Jade Wave Hall.
Lolo pulls her to a seat.
She took out a children's book from her schoolbag.
Ning Jiang looked at the book that had already turned yellow and pursed his lips: "That year, we didn't finish reading this book."
"Yes, after Second Aunt left, I never looked through this book again. At that time, there were many words that I could not recognize. Thus, the words on the painting were read to me by Second Aunt. Now, I miss listening to it. "
Ning Jiang looked at her with eyes full of love.
Luo Luo Luo smiled, flipping to the page they saw five years ago.
Time seemed to have returned to the past. Rolo pointed at the words on it and began to read.
Ning Jiang turned to look at Luo Luo Luo, his eyes turning red.
Rolo read it for a while and then cried.
Ning Jiang pulled her into his embrace from the side.
Luo Luo Luo held the book tightly and hugged Ning Jiang's waist, crying loudly in her arms.
"You promised me. You said that in the future, you would love me like your mother, but you still ran away. I missed you a lot every day, so I wanted to sleep with you on a thundery night. I think you can stay with me when you're sick. I want you to hold a parents' meeting for me and tell the teachers that you are my second aunt just like my mother. I want you to go golfing and swimming with me, and I also want you to take me to a cram class like other people's mothers … "
Ning Jiang closed her eyes, and her tears unobediently poured out. "Luo Luo, I'm sorry."
"Great Grandma said that from now on, you are my mother, but you left me. I'm very sad, I thought I was being naughty, and you don't like me anymore. You don't need me anymore."
Ning Jiang shook her head: "No, Second Aunt didn't leave you behind, and Second Aunt also really loved you a lot, but back then, Second Aunt also had to go through some hard work. Second Aunt really left because she had no other choice."
Rolo looked up at her, sobbing, "Then can you promise me you won't leave again? I don't want the mother like Second Aunt to disappear without a sound like last time, I want you to stay by my side."
Ning Jiang looked at Luo Luo Luo, what should she do.
Promise Rolo?
What if she went back on her word? Wasn't that going to hurt him again?
Luo Yuan said anxiously, "Second Aunt, why aren't you talking?"
"Luo Luo Luo, about the matter between your Second Uncle and I, I can't explain it clearly, we …"
"Aren't you husband and wife? You are not like my father and mother. You are all alive, so why can't you explain it clearly? "
Ning Jiang frowned, how could he talk about marriage and love with a child that was not even thirteen years old?
She thought for a moment, then lowered her head and said to Luo Luo Luo, "Second Aunt can promise you, but if I want to leave again one day, then I will definitely tell you, and …" No matter what kind of relationship I have with your Second Uncle, my love for you will never change. I will be your mother from now on, okay? "
Rolo was a little worried. "Second Aunt, you …" will they still be separated from my Second Uncle? "
Ning Jiang said: "Luo Luo, you are still young, you don't know what love is, your Second Uncle … He has someone he likes. "
"The person my Second Uncle likes is you."
Ning Jiang exhaled, "I like it... "It's not the same as love. With love, you can maintain a marriage."
"The person my Second Uncle loves is you," Luo Luo Luo nodded his head seriously, "Second Aunt, I know what love is, there are many people in my school who confess to me, but I don't want to be with them at all, so I know that when I don't like being with someone, it's not love at all. But my Second Uncle only wants to be with you, so he must love you a lot. "
Ning Jiang laughed speechlessly, this little girl …
"Second Aunt, don't laugh, I'm speaking the truth." Luo Luo Luo came out of Ning Jiang's embrace with a serious expression.
"The last time I was drunk, I overheard the two of them talking when Muzhi brought me back. Second Uncle really loves you, I didn't lie to you."
Ning Jiang looked at Luo Luo, and asked a moment later: "What did they say?"
