Mom, I want to go home...
When Yan Ruyi saw these words, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
Only then did she realize how much harm her previous words to Zi Yao had caused to Xiao Bao.
If he wasn't extremely sad, he wouldn't have written such helpless words.
They kept saying that they loved Xiaobao the most, but they couldn't even give him a home.
Xiaobao didn't even feel a sense of belonging here from the beginning to the end.
He was at home, but he was saying that he wanted to go home...
Guan Ziyao's attention was all on the word "mother". She thought that this woman and Xiaobao were just familiar with each other at most, but she didn't expect that Xiaobao had already reached the point of recognizing this woman as his mother!
No, she had to speed up!
Ning Xi didn't want to get involved in this muddy water on an occasion like today. She had originally planned to leave after pacifying the little kid, but now, she had completely changed her mind.
Taking advantage of this occasion today, she wanted to make sure that no one would ever look down on the little bun again.
Even if she and Lu Tingxiao would not have a smooth future, she hoped that the little boy would be fine even without her.
So, Ning Xi calmed down her emotions and said to the little bun in an unusually gentle tone, "Be good, baby, this is your home. Besides, today is Grandpa's birthday. We specially prepared a great birthday gift for Grandpa. Have you forgotten?"
The little bun didn't react after hearing this, but just hugged Ning Xi tighter with his little hands.
"Can I accompany you to give the gift to Grandpa later?" Ning Xi said again.
After hearing this, Xiao Bao finally rubbed Ning Xi's shoulder with very small movements and nodded in agreement.
He wanted to go home. Home was where Xiaoxi's mother was.
After comforting the little one, Ning Xi looked at the two elders and said in a worried tone, "Xiaobao may have been outside just now. His body is very cold. I'm afraid he has caught a cold. It would be best if he could take a hot bath quickly..."
Yan Ruyi hurriedly said, "Then come inside! Don't stand in the yard!"
Lu Chongshan had already made preparations to let Xiaobao and Ning Xi leave, but he didn't expect that Xiaobao was willing to stay, so he immediately let the two of them in.
As long as Xiaobao was willing to stay, he would indulge that woman even if she wanted to use the little bun to show up at the birthday party.
In the banquet hall in front, the guests had been waiting for too long and had already started to whisper and discuss. Seeing that Xiaobao's condition was stable, Lu Chongshan hurriedly went to the front with Yan Ruyi to greet the guests.
"Sorry, sorry, I kept you waiting! Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my birthday party..."
"Mr. Lu, you are too polite!"
"It is our honor to be invited by you!"
Lu Chongshan greeted him politely, and everyone congratulated him warmly on his birthday. On the surface, there was nothing unusual, but as soon as they turned around, they couldn't help but speculate secretly.
"What do you think of what happened tonight?"
"It's said that Madam Lu's beloved necklace was lost... But, just a necklace is lost, does it require several owners to disappear for most of the night?"
"Could it be that the young prince of the Lu family is ill again..."
"It's probably true. The Lu family is so unlucky that they have only one child, and he turned out to be a fool!"
"Haha, the Lu family is so big now, how could they not have some secrets? I'm afraid the retribution will come to their descendants..."
