At the beginning of the lanterns, when I arrived at the wooden garden, the sky was already as thick as thick ink.

Haicheng in late autumn, everywhere is already cool, a rain that fell the night before, and now the temperature is still damp.

Driving the car, through the open window, in addition to smelling the fresh air blowing in the evening breeze, you can also see the fireworks on the other side of the riverbank, lighting up a large area of the night sky.

The little girl was very excited, and her little hand fell on her skirt and pulled hard.

The big black and white eyes were extremely clear at the moment, looking out the window at the busy traffic, revealing a little excitement.

"Mommy, when will Uncle Lu come?"

Su Ni lowered her head, but she was a little unconvinced. Originally, she also sent a message to Lu Changming, and it also showed that she had read it, so she thought she had received it.

Lu Changming didn't care much about anything else, but it was impossible not to worry about Su Miaomiao.

But now looking at the watch on the wrist, it's not early.

"Don't be happy, Miao Miao's birthday is coming. ”

After all, Rise, who was far away in London, had already sent her a video hours before, and was yelling that she would be the last one to wish her a happy birthday.

But she is in Haicheng now, the wife just said that her birthday will not be celebrated in more than three hours.

"I'll give him a call and ask, let's have something to eat first. ”

Su Ni got up and waved to call the waiter.

But the little girl refused.

She was actually hungry, but when she heard Su Ni's words, she immediately shook her head, her little face was full of seriousness, "No, you have to wait for Uncle Lu." ”

He also waved his hand at Su Ni, as if to catch someone's up, "Mommy, go and call." ”

Su Ni nodded, walked to the side and dialed the phone.

No response.

The sound of "doodoo" rang for a long time, but it was never connected.

She stood not far away, leaning against the wall, the bonsai next to her hiding the emotions on her face, but no matter what, she sank because of this indifferent beep.

A minute later no one answered, and the formulaic voice was playing, and the solemnity pressed silently into her heart.

After a while, Su Ni lowered her eyes indifferently, but inadvertently saw the little man standing next to the seat and looking this way.

The balls that she had tied up made her little face more rounded, her little hands clenched tightly on the seat, and she leaned out half of her body to look at her, but her clear eyes kept blinking.

It seems to be a silent urging.

Just saw Su Ni looking back at her quickly, so he immediately smiled and retracted his head.

For a while, the smile on Su Ni's face was a little stiff, and he looked at the villain who stuck out his tongue and hid back, and his heart was indescribably bored.

I dialed the phone again, but it was still not answered.

She had no choice but to walk out with her phone in her hands.

"Ah, is Uncle Lu coming?"

The little girl came over in a hurry, her long eyelashes blinking like a thin fan.

The light falling overhead hit the top, adding a layer of shadow.

It just covered her glasses frames, but even so, i] couldn't hide the anticipation in her eyes.

Su Ni sat opposite her, tidied up her somewhat messy collar, and said softly, "Not yet." He said let's eat first, and when he comes, we'll cut the cake together, what do you think?"

"Hmmm......"

Su Miao pursed her lips, and the smile on her face faded suddenly.

Naturally, she wanted to eat with Uncle Lu the most, and her big eyes turned around a few times, and finally landed on the smiling face of the grandmother.

So he shrugged, "Okay, everyone's hungry." ”

"Mommy, it's my birthday today, can I eat a grilled chicken wing?"

Su Ni nodded, finally relieved.

The waiter soon came over, knew that she was on her birthday, and specially prepared a box of ice cream for the little pot friend.

The little girl was very happy, and she also knew that Su Ni had ordered the cake and fireworks early in the morning, just waiting to celebrate her birthday, and she would not refuse at this time.

So he responded seriously and ordered his favorite side dishes.

Grandma smiled casually again, but when the little girl was ordering, she looked at Su Ni without a trace, "Can he come?"

Su Ni was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect her grandmother to see that her expression was wrong.

"I'll ask later. ”

After eating a meal, she had something on her mind, so naturally she didn't eat very happily. But Su Miaomiao, who is a little birthday star, is indescribably happy.

Su Ni had tried her best to slow down the pace, but she still ended the dinner in half an hour.

After wiping her mouth clean, the little girl lay on the table again and leaned in the direction of Su Ni, "Why hasn't Uncle Lu come yet?" ”

"I think it's going to be soon, I urged him. ”

Su Ni said and secretly sent a message on her mobile phone again.

After a while, I finally got a response.

"The meeting is not over yet. ”

She stared at the phone screen in disbelief.

I had to take a deep breath, my fingers fell on my head, and I slowly typed down a few words, "How long will it take?"

This time, I didn't get a reply so quickly.

She pinched her phone and locked her eyes on the delicate little girl.

Although Su Miaomiao is young, she can also observe words and feelings.

After waiting for so long, Uncle Lu still didn't show up, and her mother's face became more and more ugly, she almost guessed that something was wrong.

So the smile that had been hanging on his little face couldn't be contained, he pursed his lips slightly, withdrew his little hand and put it in front of him, and sat there upright.

It seems that as long as she performs better, Lu Changming will appear.

Su Ni's heart was suddenly blocked by something, silently devouring her reason.

The phone vibrates just right.

She immediately connected.

"We are in the wooden garden, Lu Changming, you ......"

"Madam, it's me. ”

Zhou Yi's voice came out of it, and he looked into the conference room with some embarrassment, extremely cautious, "That, I haven't seen your news much, and it's supposed to pass anyway, but now I really can't help it." Do you want to change the time? ”

Have an appointment?

Su Ni wanted to ask who he was making an appointment with, and he didn't have time to connect to a phone.

But the remnants of the sanity finally grabbed her, and she was going to blurt it out. But when she raised her head, she saw the little girl's expectant eyes, as if she had been asking her when her Uncle Lu would arrive.

I had to press down on the emotions in my heart and take a few deep breaths, "It's still early, what time is it after he ends, maybe it's too late." ”

"Huh?"

Zhou Yi really didn't expect Su Ni to back down again and again, in his opinion, it was good that Su Ni could take the initiative to speak now, let alone prepare to wait all night in the wooden garden.

Suddenly speechless, hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking.

"I'm sorry, madam, the itinerary for today and tomorrow has been arranged. There's a business meeting tomorrow morning, I'm afraid ......"

"Do you have something very important? Why don't I ask for advice first. ”

Su Ni pursed her lips, and the grievances in her heart finally couldn't hold back anymore.

After a long time, she bit her lip, "It's important...... His daughter has a birthday, you ask if he comes. ”

Zhou Yi also seemed to hesitate.

There was silence for a moment, and then a voice came after a long time.

"That's right, ma'am, why don't you order a cake here and send it over. You play with the little lady first, and when you are free tomorrow, you will definitely make up for this birthday. ”

This is a reasonable explanation.

Su Ni only snorted, and a chill appeared in her heart.

"Since I can't come. ”

That's it.

She simply hung up the phone, and the phone was stuffed into her bag at random.

I can't tell you what the obscure emotions in my heart are.

I just felt that he probably never cared, otherwise how could he not take it to heart?

……

"Mommy?"

Raise your gaze and face Su Miaomiao.

The mother and daughter always have a good heart, and the little girl reacted almost as soon as she looked at Su Ni's expression, and immediately pursed her lips aggrievedly, and her little face collapsed, as if she was going to cry out the next moment.

"Aren't you coming?"

She opened her mouth suddenly, her voice delicate and delicate, but full of sobbing.

"Mommy, isn't Uncle Lu coming to celebrate Miao Miao's birthday?"

"Uncle Lu is very busy, he maybe, there is still work to be done. ”

Su Ni coaxed her carefully, and the thin sound fell on the little girl's ears, which was particularly soft and beautiful.

But Su Miaomiao couldn't listen to it now, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged, and when she saw that Su Ni was going to coax her, she waved her hands, "Didn't he know that today was Miao Miao's birthday?"

"He got it, I just told him. It's too late today, you know, Uncle Lu is busy. ”

She had just made it clear on the phone, but she still hadn't received a response.

Thinking about it, Lu Changming really couldn't pull away.

Or maybe he didn't even think about coming here from the beginning to the end.

He didn't pay attention to the time he was told in advance.

"Then let's go find him!"

The little girl suddenly jumped down from her seat, stood at the table and was about to go to La Su Ni, her little face was flushed, tears were already rolling in her eyes, and she looked at the bursts of Chu Chu pitiful.

Su Ni sat in the distance and did not move.

She stomped her feet, a little angry.

But there was no way, so I had to turn around and pull my grandmother, "Wife, can you take Miao Miao to find Uncle Lu?" He promised to help Miao Miao celebrate his birthday last time. ”

"It's so late, and my wife doesn't know the way. Why don't we go home first, maybe we will go to the house to find Miao Miao when your Uncle Lu is done." ”

"No......"

The little girl knew in her heart that thinking that Lu Changming would not appear at all, the tip of her nose was sour, and her tears fell to the ground with a "click".

She looked at Su Ni, her eyes were full of grief and sadness, her small palms were clenched into fists, and she stomped her feet hard.

Su Ni could almost see the accusation in her eyes, as if she was complaining about her, and her little heart was indignant.

At her age, she probably can't understand the word "busy", let alone the strange feelings between two adults.

Su Miaomiao felt from the bottom of her heart that Uncle Lu was good, good to her, good to Mommy.

Such a dad, why not?

She wiped her nose and muttered to Su Ni aggrievedly, "You said that you would help Miao Miao find her father today, Mommy, you liar!"
