"No, I will follow you until my children come back..." Huo Mian said firmly.
"Don't try to persuade me. The four of us have known each other for the longest time. Over the years, others don't know Xiaomian's temper, and you two don't know either," Qin Chu said.
Lingling Zhu nodded...
"I understand, then Xiaomian, you have to take care of yourself... If the child is not found, something will happen to you first..." Zhu Lingling was also extremely distressed.
"I'm fine, Lingling... I can still hold on." Huo Mian forced a smile.
On the way back when Gao Ran sent Zhu Lingling off, Zhu Lingling changed from her usual eighth-grandmother character and became extremely quiet.
"Wife... what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?" Gao Ran asked while driving.
"You still have to ask? Of course I feel uncomfortable..." Zhu Lingling pursed her lips.
"Still worried about the twins..."
"Nonsense, my future daughter-in-law is lost, can I not be anxious?"
"You really take it seriously. The child is so young and doesn't even know what a wife means... You are really enough..."
"What do you know? Our Boyuan likes Douding very much."
"Pfft... How old is your son? What are you talking about?" Gao Ran almost spit out blood.
"What I said is true, so take me home later and be careful... Don't let your son know the news that Douding is missing. If he knows, he will definitely be worried about not being able to eat or sleep well. When the time comes for kindergarten, I’m not even in the mood anymore…”
"As for that?" Gao Ran obviously didn't believe it.
"Just be careful and listen to whatever I tell you." Zhu Lingling rolled her eyes at Gao Ran.
The Gao family mansion.
When Lingling Zhu went back, her mother-in-law was watching TV with her grandson.
"Mom." They greeted each other.
"You're back... You're back just in time, so I can go..."
"Mom, you can leave after dinner. I bought vegetables." Zhu Lingling persuaded her to stay.
"If you don't want to eat, don't eat. Your dad is at home and hasn't eaten yet."
"Really, then let the driver send dad to have a bite too." Gao Ran suggested.
"No, your dad has become a vegetarian recently and he can't eat with you. My grandson is getting older now and needs to cook more meat. You should hurry up and get started. I'm going back."
Later, Gao Ran's mother was driven away by the driver.
"Then I'm going to cook. Are you eating at home?" Zhu Lingling glanced at Gao Ran and asked.
Gao Ran lowered his head and looked at his watch, "Can you finish it in half an hour? I have to go back to the city bureau to handle something in an hour."
"Then I'll make braised noodles."
After saying that, without waiting for Gao Ran to speak, Zhu Lingling took off her coat and carried the vegetables into the kitchen.
"Son, come here and call daddy." Gao Ran hooked his hand towards Gao Boyuan.
Unexpectedly, Gao Boyuan glanced at Gao Ran helplessly, "How old are you? Are you naive?"
"Ouch, let me tell you... your wings are hard now... dad doesn't like to scream anymore..." Gao Ran scolded.
"No, I mean, no matter what age it is now, who still calls me daddy."
"What's that called?" Gao Ran was startled.
"Of course it's daddy... Didn't you see that both Pudding and Douding call Uncle Qin daddy? Don't you think it's very foreign?"
Gao Ran shook his head. "do not think so."
"So, you are really behind the times. There is a classmate in my class who comes from a privileged family. I heard that my ancestors have Aisin Gioro blood."
"Hey, the royal family of the Qing Dynasty." Gao Ran interjected.
"That's right. That's why people call his father Ama. That's more fashionable..."
"Son... do you know about Douding?" Since Douding was mentioned, Gao Ran decided to test his son's reaction.
