Chapter 215 Reunion at the Airport, His Eyes Reddened
However, just as she was about to carry her daughter into the house, the little baby in her arms nuzzled against her neck affectionately.
Jiang Qin paused, somewhat amused, but her eyes showed more of her mother's tenderness.
"What's wrong, Sweetie? Is there something you want to tell Mommy?"
"Mommy~" Sweetie's coquettishness came effortlessly. Although she was only two and a half years old, her voice carried a hint of adult melancholy.
"Last night, Mommy video-chatted with Auntie, and Auntie said she was going back to China. After Auntie goes back to China, will Sweetie never see Auntie again?"
Jiang Qin was taken aback and was about to say no when Tian Tian's cute little face fell first.
Her long, slightly curled, thick eyelashes drooped down, and her chubby little face looked rather sad.
"Mommy, Sweetie wants to go back to China with you too... That way, we can see Auntie every day, and Mommy and Auntie can both spend time with Sweetie! Or, Mommy, could you please let Auntie not go back to China?"
Sweetie looked up and met Jiang Qin's eyes, her beautiful, big, dark eyes looking pitiful.
Jiang Qin's heart was melting, but these words... truly left her both amused and exasperated.
Adults' life and work matters are naturally difficult to explain to a two-and-a-half-year-old child.
Moreover, Su Lejia's return to China this time was not only for work-related matters, but mainly to prepare for her wedding with Zhou Junxuan, as well as to inspect and decorate their marital home in Beijing.
From campus to workplace, Su Lejia and Zhou Junxuan have maintained a very good relationship over the years, truly deserving the description of being inseparable. Therefore, they are now able to enter the hall of marriage and will continue to walk hand in hand for the rest of their lives.
Jiang Qin was genuinely happy for the two of them, especially for her best friend.
After all, it was a relationship that had lasted for seven years.
Having gone through marriage, Jiang Qin knows how precious this relationship is.
A wedding is a big event, one she has never had, but she sincerely hopes her best friend can have a grand and perfect wedding.
In addition, she has not been disturbed at all while abroad for the past three years.
She increasingly felt that person was truly like a grain of sand in the long river of her life, blown away by time.
Therefore, she has been pushing forward with the matter of returning to China ever since she learned that Su Lejia was going to return.
However, due to the special circumstances at the time, it was a fake death. Although she had asked the old lady a few days ago and learned that because Huo Sili did not believe she was dead, her household registration had not been cancelled and everything was still normal.
But, after all, it was a fake death.
Now that she has a daughter, Jiang Qin naturally has to be even more careful.
Although all the documents were complete, there was always a fear of something going wrong when going in and out. In short, "coming back from the dead" was not an easy thing.
"Sweetie, Mommy needs to think about this before I can agree to it. Please give Mommy some time, okay?"
Jiang Qin didn't want to be a mother who didn't keep her word; she would never promise something she couldn't do in advance.
Sweetie looked at Jiang Qin with her beautiful big eyes. After a second and a half, she seemed to see Jiang Qin's dilemma and obediently nodded her chin, "Okay."
Jiang Qin thought it was over, but after Tian Tian finished speaking, she leaned closer to her.
Jiang Qin assumed that her daughter had something else to say to her, so she naturally lowered her head to listen.
Haw!
A sweet, soft kiss landed on her cheek.
Sweetie: "I knew it! Mommy's the best!"
I get the familiar "nice guy" card at least seven times a week.
Jiang Qin was both amused and exasperated, but she was ultimately quite swayed by this approach.
She gently rubbed her daughter's soft cheek, then carried Tian Tian back into the house.
"Mommy has finished her work for today. Sweetie, would you like Mommy to tell you a story or play a game with you?"
"Tell me a story!" Sweetie replied with a smile. She loved listening to her mother tell stories, but she didn't really like games.
"Okay, then Mom will tell Tian Tian a story, and after the story is finished, Mom and Tian Tian will have dinner together."
"Mmm!" Sweetie smiled and nodded obediently in Jiang Qin's arms.
Every child has their own talents, and Jiang Qin never deliberately guides her daughter to develop in any particular direction.
As long as it doesn't involve dangerous behavior or violate local laws and regulations, she will accompany her daughter to try anything she wants.
In this nurturing environment, Sweetie lives up to her name, and every day of her life is sweet.
Looking at her daughter's sunny and happy smile, Jiang Qin was very glad she made the decision back then and was quite satisfied with her current life.
As for the future, she doesn't want to think about it for now, because she has saved enough money, has a healthy body, and has been constantly enriching herself over the past three years. Right now, she just wants to live in the present.
Moreover, Jiang Qin knew very well that some things were beyond the control of an ordinary person like her.
As for those matters, all we can do is our best and leave the rest to fate.
So a week later, accompanied by Song Xinye and others, at the crowded airport, they spotted the familiar black Cullinan at the exit.
Jiang Qin was not surprised.
But the helplessness that suddenly welled up in my heart was undeniably real.
Before she boarded the plane, she contacted the old lady, thinking of coming back to visit her. The old lady said that she would never tell anyone about her return and told her to come back without worry.
But now.
Of course, it's also possible that Horstley tapped on Mrs. Horst's phone number.
In short, the reason for this is not important at the moment; what matters is how things have unfolded.
But that's not really that important; it's been three years.
Jiang Qin had no idea what Huo Sili was thinking, now that the child was two and a half years old.
But Jiang Qin knew very well that she had completely lost any interest in this man.
Even when she recalls the hurtful things he once said to her, she doesn't feel hurt at all.
"Mommy, is that the car that Auntie and Uncle drove to pick us up?"
In her arms, Tian Tian pointed to the black car at the door and asked in her clear, childlike voice.
Sweetie is only two and a half years old and doesn't have any interest in cars yet. In her eyes, cars are just for riding in, to save time and effort, so you don't have to walk when you sit in one.
She can avoid making her mother carry her so much, and she can easily go wherever she wants with her mother.
As for the brand and model, do they matter? They don't matter at all.
Of course, the main reason was that she heard her aunt and uncle pick them up in a big black car during the phone call.
Sweetie can tell the difference between a sedan and a truck. Look, isn't this car in front of her a perfect example?
Sweetie was sure she had guessed right.
But obviously, that car wasn't it. If it were, Su Lejia would be laughing in her sleep!
—Come on, good heavens, that's a Rolls-Royce Cullinan! And a top-of-the-line, modified one at that!
"Auntie!" Just then, Su Lejia appeared out of nowhere at the door.
Sweetie's eyes lit up, and she couldn't contain her excitement. She laughed and shouted loudly, trying to get down from Jiang Qin's arms and run over.
However, at that very moment, something strange seemed to happen.
"Mommy?" Sweetie turned to face Jiang Qin and noticed that Jiang Qin's expression was obviously wrong, and she could also feel it on her body—before, when she saw her aunt, Mommy would put her down and let her hug her aunt.
But now, Mommy seems to be holding her a little tighter!
Looking at my aunt again, her expression seemed off too.
Sweetie was confused and didn't understand what was going on.
The next second, I was even more stunned. This...this uncle is so handsome, even more handsome than my maternal uncle.
But did she recognize him? Why was he looking at her like that?
"Mommy... weird uncle." Sweetie was a little frightened and turned around to throw herself back into Jiang Qin's arms.
Jiang Qin gently patted Tian Tian's back to comfort her before turning her gaze to the man who had just gotten off the black Cullinan. After three years apart, he did feel unfamiliar, yet he was still a familiar face.
Her face was expressionless, and her voice was faint.
"Mr. Huo, it's been a long time."
Huo Sili's hands trembled at his sides as he struggled to suppress the urge to rush forward and embrace her tightly.
His gaze swept over Tian Tian again, then over Song Xinye who was following behind with his suitcase, and finally settled on Jiang Qin. His handsome, pale face suddenly reddened, and tears welled up in his eyes.
In fact, Huo Sili had anticipated this meeting many times, but when the day and this moment finally arrived...
He found himself unable to force a smile; his intense love was being suppressed, while the joy of regaining what he had lost was overwhelming.
But then she saw another man following behind her, and a little girl calling her "Mommy." Her jealousy flared uncontrollably, shattering into countless pieces.
Sensing the strange atmosphere, Tian Tian straightened up from Jiang Qin's arms, glanced at the strange uncle facing her mother, and became even more confused.
"Mommy," Tian Tian whispered in Jiang Qin's ear, "The uncle in front of you looks like he's crying?"
