841 Yousre More Important than the Child 6 (2/2)
The weather in Beijing had been warming up over the past few days. Sitting in the passenger seat, Song Qingchun felt rather cooped up, so she rolled down the window to let fresh air in.
The road they were on was quite congested. The car halted and moved for about half an hour before the traffic cleared. Song Qingchun noticed that Su Zhinian's car was moving outside of the city. Song Qingchun was curious about where their destination was. Her lips moved several times, aiming to ask Su Zhinian, but eventually, she chose to silence herself.
Su Zhinian's car drove stably on the road. Song Qingchun, who didn't get much sleep the previous night, leaned against the car seat and inevitably fell asleep.
Through the rear-view mirror, Su Zhinian glanced at Song Qingchun. He reached over to lower the back of her seat to make her more comfortable. Song Qingchun opened her blurry eyes to look at Su Zhinian as he did so before she slowly returned to her dreams.
When Song Qingchun woke up, Su Zhinian's car was slowing down. Apparently, they had reached their destination. Song Qingchun leaned up in her seat to look out the window. Other than an unadorned steel gate, there was no sign in sight. She frowned in confusion before turning around to ask Su Zhinian, ”We're here?”
”Yes.” Su Zhinian parked the car and pushed the door open. He got down first before walking around the car to get the door for Song Qingchun. Song Qingchun hesitated before she unbucked the seatbelt and got out, holding her purse.
Su Zhinian didn't explain himself but pulled Song Qingchun along as he headed toward the steel gate.
There was no bell, so Su Zhinian used his hands to shake the gate heavily for a while until it clanged. About five minutes later, a middle-aged woman ran over to open the gate for them.
Su Zhinian had probably talked to the middle-aged woman on the phone already. After giving her his name, the woman welcomed them in kindly and enthusiastically.
After walking through the gate, they took a turn, and Song Qingchun saw a sizeable patio. There were seven to eight children absorbed in various activities; the eldest among them was about seven and the youngest about two.
