C165 (1/2)
”Auntie, Zichen came to pick you up.” Tao Tian knew that Auntie Zhong's heart was filled with desire as he smiled and said to her.
”Really?” Auntie Zhong didn't expect that Lei Caichen would come to pick her up. For a moment, she even felt overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. She nervously tugged at the corner of her shirt, afraid that she would lose her composure.
”Auntie, you're already very beautiful, you don't need to dress up anymore. Otherwise, others won't be able to tell which one of us is An Xin's mother.” Tao Tian said with a smile as he embraced Auntie Zhong's shoulder from behind.
Auntie Zhong did have a kind of beauty that made the siblings feel close and familiar with her.
”Look at what you're saying, I'm already old.” Tao Tian's praise was quite good.
”Let's go, I've already prepared everything. I've even installed a box of Mango Fruits for Ann to eat if she's thirsty.” As Auntie Zhong spoke, she picked up the mango that had been neatly cut and put into a container beside the dining table and said to Tao Tian.
”As expected of Auntie.” Tao Tian said in admiration.
”Let's go.” The three of them laughed and chatted as they got into the car.
Lei Zichen got into the driver's seat and adjusted the angle of the rear view mirror just enough to reflect the face of Tao Tian, who was sitting in the back.
The car drove very slowly, and the two women in the back made his heart warm at every moment. Needless to say, Tao Tian's warm and considerate treatment of him by this woman, whom he had met by chance, really made him appreciate the care and concern of a female elder that he had lost for a long time, and even that of his mother. However, he knew that this happiness would not end just like this, so he wanted to cherish it even more.
”Ah, Zichen. You sure are familiar with this path. You must have come quite often, right?” Auntie Zhong leaned her head out of the back seat and asked with a smile.
”Haha, that's right, Auntie, I really do it once a day.” Lei Zichen also replied with a smile.
”Ah, An Xin, I think this young man is pretty good.” Auntie Zhong purposefully reminded Tao Tian. Both of them purposely ignored the 'fiancee' that Lei Zichen mentioned as if he was a character that had never appeared before.
”Auntie …” Tao Tian somewhat embarrassedly lowered his head.
”No matter what kind of relationship you two have, auntie knows. Auntie is experienced, and An Xin is a good child. If you don't seize this opportunity, you might get snatched away by someone else.” Auntie Zhong's head was still pointed in Lei Zichen's direction as she commented loudly.
”Auntie, don't worry. I'm working hard too, haha.” Lei Zichen didn't show any embarrassment nor did he get angry. Instead, he just laughed out loud.
”That's it, as expected of you …” Auntie Zhong almost said the three words ”my son” out of excitement.
Fortunately, before she could say anything, Auntie Zhong hurriedly stopped herself and looked at Tao Tian with a flushed face.
Tao Tian also had a vigilant face as he secretly shook Auntie Zhong's hand below.
”As expected of what? Auntie, you're not done yet. ” Lei Zichen curiously asked when he saw Auntie Zhong abruptly stop her words.
”No ….” ”Nothing much, I just wanted to say that as expected of Mayor Lei Dong from our Yan City.” Auntie Zhong whispered.
”Haha, auntie, look at what you're saying.” Lei Zichen smiled. He had heard this kind of praise too many times.
”Alright, beauties, we're here.” Lei Zichen said as he turned the corner.
”Got it, handsome brother.” Tao Tian patted Lei Zichen on the back, then walked out of the car while hugging the figurine.
”Let me do it.” Seeing Tao Tian's petite body carrying so many things, Lei Zichen hurriedly locked his car and rushed over, wrapping everything in his arms.
Tao Yao smiled as she looked at Lei Zichen. When she once decided to marry him, she knew that she had already found someone who was willing to treat her sincerely. There was no need for her to be nervous.
It was just that the heavens did not do as she wished, and in the end, they were still separated. However, at this very moment, she knew that this feeling had returned to her side once more. Ever since she was kidnapped and he appeared in time to save her, every step she took, her heart was filled with contradictions. But now, she understood her own heart more and more clearly. He had so many questions to ask her, and she was the same.
As they walked in front of the kindergarten's entrance, a few parents were already walking in.
The three of them followed the stream of people and headed inside.
”Yo, we haven't had lunch yet.” Lei Zichen suddenly remembered someone saying loudly.
”Shh, lower your voice,” Tao said, tugging at his shirt. ”On Family Day, kindergartens provide lunch to let parents know how their children usually eat at school.” Tao Tian softly explained.
”Ah, so that's how it is.” Even though Lei Zichen was the president of a powerful family who had participated in countless meetings of different sizes, he had never once made him feel this proud from the bottom of his heart, making him feel that he was a truly successful person, that he was unwilling to exchange any of his wealth for any of the other treasures. Although it had not yet been confirmed by Tao Tian personally, he had already treated An An as his own child, he knew that Tao Tian's heart had always had him, she firmly believed in him.
”Stupid.” Tao Tian curled his lips. There was a feeling in his heart that no matter how long it took since he had seen each other, he would never feel unfamiliar with each other.
”That can't be blamed on me. I don't have any experience.” Lei Zichen shrugged and said helplessly.
”Alright, stop bullshitting. Hurry up and see where An An is,” Tao Tian patted Lei Zichen's shoulder before hurriedly searching the classroom for her precious little figure.
”Oh right, why hasn't big brother arrived yet?” Tao Tian furrowed his brows and said, ”Quickly, let me call him and ask him.” As he spoke, he picked up the phone and dialed a series of numbers.
