Chapter 325 - The Original Home (1/2)

”Uncle, the other Uncle had disappeared.” Rainy pointed weirdly to the place empty space where Du Jingtang had stood earlier.

”No matter. He will be back in a while.” Gao Yi rubbed her head. They could only stand and wait for the Uncle who had vanished.

Soon, a gust of wind blew at them. Du Jingtang showed up as though he was presenting them with treasures. Both his hands were full of lollipops. His forehead was covered in sweat, but his smile was exceptionally dashing.

”Rainy, look. I've bought you so many sweets. Come and collect them.” Du Jingtang stretched his hands outwards and opened his hands, showing Rainy all the lollipops that he was holding.

Rainy blinked her long eyelashes as she looked at Gao Yi. ”Can I take them?”

”As long as you like it. Uncle wanted you to have them. If you don't, he will be sad.” Gao Yi said as he met Du Jingtang's appreciative eyes. That's right. If she didn't want those lollipops, he would truly be heartbroken and guilty to death.

Rainy thought for a moment and reached out her hand to take three lollipops. Then, she leaned back into Gao Yi's arms.

”Rainy, I have so many. You are only taking three?” Du Jingtang offered both his hands again as he asked her, not understanding. Was it because her hands were too small, and she couldn't take them all?

Rainy put the other two lollipops in Gao Yi's hand. ”I have one, Mommy has one, and Uncle has one. It's enough.”

She cocked her head to one side. Nothing was amiss.

”Uncle said not to eat too many sweets, or my teeth will fall.”

Gao Yi rewarded her with a pinch on her nose while Du Jingtang, who was standing by their side, became flabbergasted. It was too easy to satisfy this child.

”Jingtang, what are you doing here? I have been searching high and low for you.” Song Wan finally found Du Jingtang. How could this boy disappear with a word? She had to search for him while carrying a bunch of things.

”Oh, I've almost forgotten.” Du Jingtang slapped his forehead. He had forgotten that he came with his aunt. Song Wan walked up from behind him, looking breathless.

”Sorry, Auntie. I met a friend and lost track of time.” He felt so embarrassed that he was grabbing a bunch of his hair with one hand and the other hand still on his forehead. He wondered if he could count a person whom he had only met twice a friend.

”Friend?” Song Wan was holding a few bags, but it wasn't as many as Du Jingtang. All the weight was crushing down on him. She did not understand. Who was the friend he was talking about?

”It's her.” He reached out his hand and pointed towards Gao Yi.

”Oh, it's a man.” Song Wan nodded.

Du Jingtang was speechless.

His face crumpled. ”Auntie, I don't mean the man. It was the little cutie in his arms.”

”Cutie?” Song Wan stared weirdly at the man who had his back facing her. Was there a 'cutie' in his arms?

When he heard someone talking about him, Gao Yi turned around; and Song Wan finally noticed Rainy whom he was carrying.

The child had a beautiful and red face—shaped like an apple, and she was holding a lollipop.

In an instant, Song Wan's heart melted; and she started to smile gently. That was truly a cutie. The child was too adorable.

”Auntie, is she cute?” Du Jingtang asked proudly as though Rainy was his daughter.

”Yes, very cute.” Song Wan's eyes never left the child who was in Gao Yi's arms. The little cutie had very nice features. She had red lips and white teeth. However, Song Wan glanced quickly at Gao Yi. The man had nice features too even if he wasn't as handsome as her son, Chu Lui. He had indescribable ease and peace about him.
