Chapter 262: Disputes
Du Zeming, who was walking behind Lin Qingrou and Du Lin, didn't know what the mother and son were talking about, and Lin Qingrou was amused by Du Lin's words and laughed happily, as if she had said something that made her feel very useful.
At this time, Du Zeming's mobile phone had already recorded several missed calls from Liu Anfei, but he ignored them all. He just wants to accompany Du Lin to spend a happy Children's Day today. Perhaps, he himself also enjoyed the warm time of this real family of three in front of him.
"I'm going out to dinner with Linlin, are you coming?" Lin Qingrou suddenly turned around and asked Du Zeming.
Du Zeming muttered a few words in his heart, what is this called, when will it be your turn to decide this kind of thing? Although he was a little unhappy in his heart, Du Zeming still hummed, and naturally followed the mother and son to the outside of the school.
Because she was worried that if she went too far, it would be late to send Du Lin back to school, so Lin Qingrou still decided to find a restaurant near the school to eat. Du Zeming felt that he had promised Du Lin to take him to a seafood dinner, so he had some disagreements with Lin Qingrou on this matter.
However, in the end, Du Lin still supported his mother's opinion, saying that his parents had not eaten with him at school, so he thought his mother's idea was also good. So Du Zeming couldn't say anything more, after all, today was his son's holiday, and it was okay for him to go back to everything.
Lin Qingrou found a Thai restaurant that looked like it was newly opened, so that Du Lin could also eat relatively good seafood, and the restaurant was relatively close to the school, which really killed two birds with one stone.
To Zeming frowned when he stepped into the restaurant, which didn't seem to him to be in the limelight, and he even doubted that the Thai food in their restaurant was really authentic. He also didn't like the shabby dΓ©cor of the Thai restaurant.
However, Lin Qingrou turned a blind eye to these problems, as if she didn't care about them at all. In fact, for Lin Qingrou, there is no need to deliberately pay attention to those so-called pomp, luxury and the like, as long as Du Lin feels happy, it is fine.
This is one of the reasons why Lin Qingrou and Du Zeming have never been able to fit each other, their thoughts and behaviors are very different, and this difference cannot be changed overnight.
What's more, Du Zeming never felt that he needed to change anything, he has always lived in the center of attention, and the praise and envy he has received have been countless so far.
Lin Qingrou ordered pineapple seafood fried rice, Thai baked scallops, secret tom yum gam shrimp soup, steamed lime squid and other unique flavor dishes of this Thai restaurant, in fact, it can be regarded as satisfying Du Lin's small wish to eat seafood to the greatest extent.
While waiting for the meal to be served, a family of three walked into this Thai restaurant, and it turned out to be a classmate in Du Lin's school. So the two families greeted each other, and a few words of greeting were inevitable.
It's just that the couple seems to have a strange look in their eyes when they see Lin Qingrou. Although this tiny expression was difficult to detect, Du Zeming already knew it, and even he could probably understand what the reason for their surprise was.
You don't have to think about it in detail, the person who takes care of Du Lin at school on weekdays is Liu Anfei, so her appearance rate in front of Du Lin's classmates and parents is very high. So what the couple is suspicious about now is nothing more than the identity relationship between Lin Qingrou and Liu Anfei.
At this time, Liu Anfei's phone called again, and Du Zeming hung up the phone directly with some impatience. Could it be that she completely forgot about the things in Linlin's school today?
Du Zeming was very dissatisfied in his heart, he felt that this was Liu Anfei's serious dereliction of duty. But he thought about it again, Du Lin is not Liu Anfei's child after all, and she can do those things on weekdays with all her heart, and sometimes she will inevitably be negligent.
A true mother is irreplaceable. Du Zeming looked at Lin Qingrou, who was sitting opposite, and thought of this sentence in his heart. After finally dealing with the parents of the classmates they happened to meet, Lin Qingrou and Du Zeming felt a little relieved.
Because it's been a long time since the two of them have appeared in front of someone else as a couple, a relationship that has made them both tired and disappointed, and now it is also stressful for them. Even if it's just pretending in front of others.
However, the next Thai meal finally went well, and the chef's skills were not as bad as Du Zeming feared. And Du Lin has always been smiling and looking very happy.
As long as Du Lin feels happy, then Lin Qingrou is naturally in a good mood. Seeing Lin Qingrou and Du Lin talking and laughing, Du Zeming was a little stunned, the Lin Qingrou he knew before, it was difficult to find such a happy smile on his face.
Taking advantage of Du Zeming's time to pay, Du Lin whispered to Lin Qingrou: "Mommy, can you lend me a little money?" β
Lin Qingrou smiled after hearing this, and didn't know why this little guy suddenly wanted to ask her to borrow money.
Lin Qingrou asked softly, "Linlin, what do you want money for?" β
Du Lin flashed a pair of clear big eyes and replied, "Mommy, our teacher said that when it comes to Father's Day, we should prepare a gift for Dad." But Linlin didn't know what gift to give. β
Lin Qingrou realized that it would be Father's Day in ten days, and the child originally wanted to prepare a Father's Day gift for Du Zeming. She couldn't help but feel that this child was becoming more and more sensible now, and he seemed to be a little small, but he always felt as if he had grown up a lot every time she saw him.
So Lin Qingrou said to Du Lin: "Linlin, as long as it is a gift from Linlin, Dad will definitely like it." And the gift doesn't have to be expensive, as long as it is made by Linlin himself, it will definitely make Dad extra happy, because it is the most unique gift in the world. β
Du Lin was very happy after hearing this, and said with his hands dancing: "Then Linlin will be a unique gift in the world." β
At this time, Du Zelin had just come back from buying the order, and when Du Lin saw his father coming back, he suddenly changed back to his original appearance, with a mysterious expression on his face. Du Zeming looked at Du Lin and felt as if he was hiding something from him.
"What's wrong, Linlin? Are you hiding something from your father? Du Zeming asked.
Du Lin shook his head vigorously, this innocent and cute expression almost softened Lin Qingrou's heart. In the end, it was Lin Qingrou who helped Du Lin cover up the past, this is the child's heart for his father, it is better not to let Du Zeming know so early.
Waiting for a family of three to come out of the Thai restaurant, Lin Qingrou and Du Zeming took Du Lin's little hand left and right and sent him back to school. Although Du Lin was a little reluctant, under the persuasion of Lin Qingrou and Du Zeming, he finally returned to school obediently.
Lin Qingrou and Du Zelin walked out of the school gate side by side with their backs to the twilight, and at this time they looked talented and girly, like a very good young couple. From time to time, some passers-by will cast a concerned gaze.
"I don't think I can put Linlin in a boarding school like this anymore." Lin Qingrou couldn't help but say it in the end.
Du Zeming stopped his progress and turned to look at Lin Qingrou. What he saw was the worry and unwillingness in the eyes of a mother, and this kind of emotion appeared on Lin Qingrou's face, which was much more familiar to Du Zeming, compared to those smiles that bloomed.
Lin Qingrou continued: "I think Lin Lin is so pitiful like this, he is so young, he has to endure the pain of living separately from his family, don't you think this kind of thing should end here?" β
Du Zeming was a little confused by Lin Qingrou's question. In fact, when Li Shujun proposed to send Du Lin to this boarding school, he was also very opposed to such an approach.
It's just that Du Zeming was still suffering from the truth of his life experience at that time, and there was really no one in the family who could fully take care of Du Lin's life and study, so he reluctantly agreed to Li Shujun's approach.
At this time, Du Zeming had no choice but to reply: "You think this is not good, but I think Linlin has become more independent and sensible than before because of his life in boarding school, what's the problem?" β
Lin Qingrou knew early on that Du Zeming would definitely explain like this, so she immediately retorted: "Won't Linlin learn to be independent and sensible at home?" These are just excuses, you don't have time to take care of Linlin, so you push him into the school. He didn't like boarding school at all, it was too early for him. β
Du Zeming said with a straight face: "Then what do you want to tell me?" β
Speaking of which, in fact, the two of them have already guessed each other's thoughts, which is an extremely rare tacit understanding between the two of them, but the root cause is still based on each other's contradictions.
Lin Qingrou's face was full of fear, she looked at Du Zeming and said: "I must take Linlin out of school, if as a parent, you can't give your child a warm family life, and even give very little affection, then what qualifications do you have to stand in front of your child!" β
Du Hongming didn't know when he started to like Lin Qingrou, when he first met Lin Qingrou, he just regarded this girl who always needed his help as a friend or sister worth befriending.
But this kind of emotion slowly fermented in his heart, and imperceptibly spread to the tide, which made him think about it day and night, and it became a lingering emotion.
