“No, no.” Ding Lihua said firmly.
“You stay here and I’ll help you clean up.”Saying that, Ding Lihua quickly started helping Wang Shu tidy things up.
Wang Shu could only watch from the side, wanting to lend a hand but being stopped by Ding Lihua.Viendo que no quedaba otra opción, Wang Shu permaneció estático, mirando fijamente.Xiao Qi smiled and comforted her, saying, “It’s okay.
Let her do what she needs to.
She has been waiting for you to move in, so let her have something to do.”Hearing Xiao Qi say this, Wang Shu could only let Ding Lihua take charge.
After watching Ding Lihua busy herself cleaning everything up, she clapped her hands and said with a smile, “Done, everything is packed now.”Ding Lihua washed her hands and then took Wang Shu by the arm, saying, "Let’s go down to eat."Ding Lihua ignored Xiao Qi on the side completely, acting like a mother to Wang Shu.
This made Xiao Qi feel both amused and helpless.Hearing that Wang Shu had arrived, Xiao Zhan decided to join them for dinner at home as well.
When he saw Lu Qicheng appear in the house, Xia An was taken aback.
Lu Qicheng persistently sidled up to her and said, “Of course I came to pick you up.
Don’t you have any excuse not to go with me now?”“Yeah, mom,” Lu Cun’an also chimed in.
“You should come back home with us.”When Xia An heard this from Lu Cun’an, she smiled bitterly and bent down, saying to him, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely go, but not right now.”Looking at Lu Cun’an, she continued, "Think about it, Shuhua aunt just moved out.
Even if I want to leave, I need to notify Grandma and Grandpa first, don’t you think?"“Yeah...” Lu Cun’an looked up at his father.He initially didn't want to say anything, but seeing how persistent Lu Qicheng was, he finally decided to speak up for her sake.Looking at Lu Qicheng, he displayed a helpless expression.Xia An continued speaking to Lu Cun’an.
“So, I know you’re a sensible child.
Give me some time and don’t…
follow your father’s example.”“Then I’ll go find Xiaoxiao,” Lu Cun’an said as he completed his task and went off to find Xiaoxiao.Lu Qicheng looked dejected as he held onto Xia An, saying, “Anan, you promised that if Shuhua’s matter is resolved, we would go back...”“I did say that.
But…
” Xia An sighed and said, "Shuhua just moved out yesterday.
Grandma is still upset.
If I were to tell her now, she’ll be even more unhappy.
Can’t I have some time?”“Then how long will you need?” Lu Qicheng asked Xia An.“A week should suffice,” Xia An replied casually.“I’ll be on a business trip next week.
Once I return, don’t use any excuses anymore.” Lu Qicheng said unhappily."Don't worry," Xia An smiled and continued, "Then let's make this deal."Lu Qicheng looked displeased but knew the weight of Zhao Zhiping and his wife in Xia An’s heart, so he didn’t say more.The next morning, Xia An went to work at BM Company.
