Chapter 33 - Teleportation? (1/2)
“Daddy and I will get you something nice to eat!”
He Yi became disconnected the moment she heard that. ‘What is going on?’
She looked up and rubbed her temples when the call was hung up before she could ask further. She looked at the time and realized that it was 12 p.m., it was indeed lunchtime.
She would have been so busy that she would forget about lunch if Bao Bao did not call her.
He Yi placed her phone down, stretched her body and gestured to Ji Xueshan.
Ji Xueshan walked over immediately and asked softly, “Sister He, do you want to pause the interview?”
He Yi nodded, she was actually satisfied with Ji Xueshan’s performance. She only listened to her orders instead of acting smart by giving her advice as to rest or drink more water as that would disrupt her work and waste her precious time.
On the other hand, Bao Bao did not think of those factors. He called her and came looking for her without even talk to her about it first.
She became embarrassed the moment she thought of his words during the call. ‘He can’t be serious!’
The interview was paused for a break from 1.30 p.m. and the interviewees who were in queue went out for lunch.
He Yi had to force herself to take this precious time off. She would never have wasted so much time for lunch if not for Bao Bao!
However, her restlessness from her previous night of insomnia and her work for the whole morning became insignificant when she thought of Bao Bao’s adorable little figure. She even felt joyful and excited to see him.
He Yi took a freshly brewed tea from Ji Xueshan as the room cleared and took a sip when someone knocked on the door.
“Come in, please.” He Yi did not even notice the warm trace of smile on eyes and lips.
The door opened and a good-looking pair walked in.
Yi Liangze had a Michelin restaurant take-out with him as he greeted politely, “Miss, your delivery’s here!”
He Yi almost spitted the tea from her mouth and coughed due to choking.
Failing to suppress her smile, Ji Xueshan patted He Yi’s back to comfort her before looking at Yi Liangze. “A delivery from Young Master Yi? That’d be expensive! Nobody can afford that!”
He Yi had to nod in agreement as Ji Xueshan’s words were exactly her thoughts. “Young Master Yi, you’re funny!”
“Aunt He, you must be hungry! Let’s eat!” said Bao Bao in his nasal voice as he ran to He Yi with his short legs.
He Yi could not help but stood up and bent over to carry the adorable boy.
The little guy was strong as a bull and it was a little difficult for He Yi to carry his weight. “Why are you looking for me all of a sudden?”
Bao Bao tilted his head and figured for a while before replying shyly, “I’ve missed you!”
He Yi’s heart turned mushy, she was uncertain as to whether she was delighted or sad to hear that. She caught Bao Bao’s tiny body in a tight embrace to fulfill her motherly instinctive needs.
She had been dying to hug Wan Wan throughout these years, she even dreamed about it, but it was destined to only be a dream! She was lucky to have Bao Bao to compensate for her regret before Wan Wan could return to her.
“Aunt He, you smell nice!” Bao Bao chuckled happily and announced to his father in a firm tone, “I like Aunt He!”
Bao Bao wanted to advise Yi Liangze to marry He Yi so that she could become Bao Bao’s mother and he would be able to request her for hugs, kisses and lift him up high every day! However, Yi Liangze had been telling him to be more subtle so that He Yi would not be overwhelmed.
