Is Rapunzel afraid that they can't see
If the child is related to the prince, then can Rapunzel see that he can never see the prince? !
This was the first thing that popped into Tangning's mind. He quickly lowered his head and asked Little Lettuce, "Little Lettuce, tell me, what are you afraid of?"
"Can you see him?!"
"Tell me, where is he? Please tell me quickly!"
Little Lettuce buried his face in Tangning's arms. No matter how Tangning tried to coax him, he refused to raise his head to speak. In addition, Little Lettuce was not a talkative person, so even if he could initiate a conversation with Tangning, he would not be able to do so.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Si Tai glanced at the visitor and shouted to Tangning, "Dad! It looks like Xie Yunting's mother is here!"
Someone from the Xie family is coming
How could it be? Didn't he ask Xie Yunting not to tell the Xie family that he had a child
Wait, now the media has exposed all his affairs, and Xie’s family will know about it by watching the news.
Tangning was panicking for a moment, not knowing what to do. Before she even opened the door, Xie's mother called. Tangning picked up the phone and heard Xie's mother's gentle voice: "Ningning, Auntie is here to see you."
Little Lettuce was still sobbing, and Xie's mother had obviously caught the sound. She smiled and said, "Come and see our little baby Ningning."
"Open the door?" Si Tai mouthed.
Tang Ning was very worried about what Xie's mother would do to Little Lettuce, but then Tang Ning realized that it was not a question of whether he could stop her, because Xie's mother used some methods to open the door directly and walked into the house calmly.
Mother Xie's hair has turned a little gray, but she has not dyed it. Her face retains the signs of natural aging. She is in her sixties but can still wear a cheongsam, and her every move is elegant and calm.
The moment Xie's mother came in, the little lettuce, who had been coaxed with great difficulty, suddenly started crying loudly. He cried so hard that his voice almost broke. Tang Ning hurriedly patted the little lettuce on the back and stared at Xie's mother with extreme vigilance.
Tang Ning did not forget that little Xie Yunting's ideal was to become like his parents, and Xie's mother was definitely not just a full-time worker.
Lin Yun, Zhou Kang and Li Haoyuan all stood in front of Tang Ning. They surrounded Tang Ning and used their bodies to form a barrier, trying to prevent Xie's mother from getting close.
"I just came to see the children." Xie's mother sighed.
Tang Ning took a step back slowly. He felt that the temperature around him seemed to have dropped by several degrees. It was as if a chill had invaded the space they were in.
Little Lettuce had stopped crying and was shaking wildly in Tangning's arms.
"Auntie, Rapunzel is afraid of meeting strangers..." Tangning was worried that Xie's mother was the one who would eventually lose her child. He took a few steps back and found himself standing against a wall with no way to retreat.
Some players were extremely nervous. They felt a lot of pressure from the seemingly harmless Aunt Xie.
Mrs. Xie did not continue to approach Tang Ning. Instead, she sat on the sofa, crossed her legs leisurely, and did not look at Tang Ning and the others. She just sat on the sofa and stared at a certain point in the void.
After a while, she suddenly said, "You kids, do you know why you have been seeing all kinds of dirty things since you were little?"
The players looked at each other, not understanding why Xie's mother brought this up.
Of course, they are players, and those ghosts are obstacles to them in this copy.
However, Xie's mother seemed to have another logical explanation in her eyes. She whispered, "Every year when the gates of hell open, hundreds of ghosts will come to the human world. If some ghosts don't go back when the gates of hell close, they will stay in the human world. People born on the ghost festival are called heavenly fetuses."
"We were born as celestial beings, but unfortunately, we were born in a ghost hospital. Since we were born, we have been exposed to those things."
As Xie's mother spoke, she suddenly took out a pack of cigarettes from her embroidery bag. She took out a thin ladies' cigarette, put it in her mouth, then took out a box of matches and lit the cigarette for herself.
Tang Ning had never seen this side of Xie's mother, and in fact he really didn't understand her.
Mother Xie took a deep breath, and she puffed out smoke quietly, "Ningning, the child you are holding in your arms now is a celestial fetus, but he did not come from a human belly. He was sent to you by hundreds of ghosts. This kind of child will not live to adulthood. He will come to the human world once and then go back.
"If you take good care of it, it will protect you. If you don't take good care of it..." Mother Xie shook off the ashes from her cigarette, raised her eyes to look at the lettuce in Tangning's arms, and said calmly, "It's ready to eat."
eat
"Eat it, and you'll be a ghost from now on, and it'll be a human."
The little lettuce in Tangning's arms started to tremble even more violently, which made Tangning worried and he wanted to comfort the little lettuce. However, when Tangning looked at the little lettuce's face, he was stunned.
Because at this time, Lettuce was laughing.
He laughed so hard that his whole body was shaking.
He had just been hiding in Tang Ning's arms and laughing!
This realization gave Tang Ning goose bumps all over his body, and his spine and head went numb.
Mother Xie stood up from the sofa and slowly walked towards Tangning, "Give me the child. I won't let it get hurt."
Little Lettuce grabbed Tangning's clothes. Bai Heiming stared at Tangning intently. There was no smile on his face, nor was there crying. He just stared at Tangning expressionlessly.
Tangning lowered her eyes and looked at Little Lettuce.
"Ningning, please give the child to me." said Xie's mother.
Tangning raised her head and looked at Xie's mother who was standing nearby, "Auntie, thank you."
Xie's mother smiled and said, "Silly child, what's the way to say thank you to your family?"
"At my age now, I can be a nanny a long time ago. I just want to help take care of the children at home—"
"Sorry, Auntie, I can't give him to you," Tangning refused.
"…Why?" Xie's mother asked puzzled.
"As a parent, if you can't teach your children well, then your children will eat you up." Tangning stroked the little lettuce head, "And I've said before, I will never abandon him."
"Li Haoyuan, Si Tai, show the guests out." Tang Ning said.
Li Haoyuan and Si Tai took a step forward, trying to escort Xie's mother away from the left and right. Tang Ning avoided the three people who were entangled with each other and carried little Rutabaga into the room upstairs. He closed the door. Little Rutabaga was still lying in Tang Ning's arms. He did not cry or make a fuss, but stared at Tang Ning intently.
Tangning looked at Little Lettuce very seriously. This time, he carefully examined Little Lettuce's face. She had double eyelids, a flat nose, thin lips, protruding ears, and fair skin. She looked like a cute and lovely child. "Little Lettuce, I apologize."
"I shouldn't treat you as a prince, I shouldn't treat you as a tool to find a prince."
From the moment he picked up the child, he was full of utilitarianism towards the child.
When he knew that Rapunzel was very afraid of the invisible existence, his first reaction was to ask Rapunzel about the location of that existence. He cared more about the prince than Rapunzel's emotions.
"It's my lettuce."
God gave me a child, and I didn't even have to take a test to be a parent, it was so easy.
Tangning hugged Little Lettuce tightly, "I'm so sorry."
I'm really sorry. I have always been responsible for their food, clothing, shelter and transportation, but I haven't given my children the love that a parent should give.
Just now, the little lettuce had been smiling so strangely in his arms, not because he was a fetus sent by hundreds of ghosts, but because he, as the little lettuce's parents, did not raise the child well.
The child in his arms was soft, and his voice was soft, and he whispered softly, "Dad."
…
Tang Ning began to raise her children seriously.
He sat on the sofa with Little Lettuce and watched together the various musical works he left in this world.
Ever since watching his first official concert, Little Lettuce has loved listening to Tangning sing. He would clap with his chubby little hands and sing along in a childish voice.
Tang Ning started to learn how to cook lettuces, which were old enough to eat vegetables. The first time she cooked, the taste was average, but the little lettuces enjoyed it very much and licked the bowl clean.
Tangning wore parent-child outfits and took Little Rapunzel home. He specially wore a mask and sunglasses. Although Tangning has retired from the entertainment industry, his influence is still there. Little Rapunzel insisted on wearing Tangning's sunglasses. The father and son walked together coolly. They went to the amusement park and the cinema together. Tangning also took Little Rapunzel back to his alma mater to take a look. Little Rapunzel had a lot of fun along the way.
Finally, Tang Ning wanted to take Xiao Lucai to meet Jiang Mianmian and Zhou Kang.
"Aunt Jiang and Uncle Zhou are both good friends of Dad. Whenever you see them, you must politely say, 'Hello, Aunt Jiang. I'm Little Lettuce.'" Tangning asked gently, "Did you remember that?"
Lettuce nodded vigorously and almost threw her sunglasses off her flat nose.
Tangning went to Jiang Mianmian's house first. Today was the weekend and Jiang Mianmian was at home. When Tangning knocked on the door, Jiang Mianmian was still wearing her pajamas. She looked at the cute little Lettuce with a surprised look on her face, "Why did you bring the child here?"
"Hello, Aunt Jiang. I'm Little Lettuce~" Little Lettuce took off her sunglasses and smiled brightly at Jiang Mianmian. She didn't look like Tangning, but when she smiled, she had a kind of pure flavor of Tangning.
"Alright, you've grown so big already." Jiang Mianmian wanted to hug Little Lettuce, and Little Lettuce excitedly hugged Jiang Mianmian's neck, "Tangning, look, you came here without even telling me. I didn't even prepare snacks for Little Lettuce."
"Huh?" Tangning was stunned for a moment, "I already told you in the group chat."
He specifically mentioned Jiang Mianmian in the group. During this period, everyone was chatting in the group, but Jiang Mianmian was online all the time without answering. If Zhou Kang had not met Jiang Mianmian once and confirmed that Jiang Mianmian was still alive, they would have suspected that Jiang Mianmian had an accident.
He brought Little Lettuce here today to find out what happened to Jiang Mianmian.
"Group?" Jiang Mianmian waved her hand. "I don't even check the group anymore. If I have something to say, I can just call or meet in person like we are doing now."
"Why aren't you checking the group?" Tangning asked curiously.
"When I get older, I don't like to use those social software anymore. I don't even check the group of my classmates or the university group."
Tangning suddenly felt something was wrong, "I said... our group of seven players."
Jiang Mianmian turned her head blankly, "What player group?"
