Chapter 8: A Long-Lost Hug
An Jingluo was a little unrecognizable, but she was sure that the villain in front of her was Zuo Zuo, especially the face that looked like Jiang Li and the eyes that looked like herself.
One big and one small just looked at each other.
wanted to hug him, kiss him and was afraid of scaring him, so she could only try to suppress the desire to rush over and hold him in her arms, she pretended to walk over briskly and squatted in front of him: "Hello, my name is... Ann Whale Fall, what's your name? ”
"My name is Jianghuai Zuo, you can call me Zuozuo." Jiang Huaizuo rarely talks to strangers, let alone tells others his nickname, but the aunt in front of him makes him feel kind, wants to tell her his name, wants to get close to her, and even wants to get into her arms.
He didn't know how he could be like this, and he didn't even want Aunt Zhang Qian, who was often by his father's side, to hug her.
An Jingluo greedily looked up and down at the little man who was thinking about him, from the hair to the soles of his feet, eager to take a magnifying glass to observe and see how time had changed him.
The little fleshy face is still bulging, but it has vaguely shown a smooth outline, a small nose full of lines and a pink little mouth, and Jiang Li's flat chin has seen the prototype, and her baby has really grown up!
"Aunt An..." Zuo Zuo was a little shy by her, and he wanted her to stop looking at him. I think he's usually a cool little handsome guy, why isn't he cool at all today?
"Zuo Zuo, are you uncomfortable?" An Jingluo was startled by his reddish apple face, and hurriedly put her hand on his forehead to measure the temperature, and her body temperature was normal, before she put the heart that had been raised in her throat back to its place.
"No, I'm not uncomfortable." He lowered his head and made a small voice, and his hand unconsciously pulled the hem of An Whale's clothes, this small action of dependence made An Whale a little teary-eyed.
"Zuo Zuo, can I hug you?"
Jiang Huaizuo stretched out his little hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her father said that if there were people around him who were crying, he would help them wipe away the tears and give them a hug, so that they would not cry.
He stretched out his short arms and wrapped his arms around Ann's neck, shaking it gently as if comfortingly. An Whale was stunned for a moment, and hugged the fragrant and soft little guy in his arms tightly, as if hugging the whole world.
Her baby is really so gentle, and she is really growing up well!
At the same time, the sadness of the heart is like a tumbling soda, gurgling out, washing the heart again, and finally leaving only bitterness. Especially when I think of him being sick and not accompanying him, seeing other children in his mother's arms, his lost expression, and missing the bits and pieces of his growth, the guilt reaches its peak.
Zuo Zuo, you can rest assured, no matter how difficult it is, your mother will always be by your side in the future.
"Left, go home." The low voice suddenly sounded, An Whale was shocked, looked up at Jiang Li who was leaning at the staircase, and looked at her with a mocking face.
Jiang Huaizuo slowly let go of her neck and broke out of her arms slightly, although he didn't want to let go, but his father was more important, and it was a big deal that he would often come to the company to see this aunt in the future. Thinking like this, his tangled little face smiled again, "Goodbye, Auntie." He waved at her and turned to run towards Jiang Li.
Looking at the small figure that was getting farther and farther away from her, An Jingluo felt her heart tighten, as if she was being grabbed hard, she had difficulty breathing in pain, and instinctively reached out to grab it, but she just raised her hand weakly, what qualifications does she have now?
When she turned to leave, Jiang Li deliberately glanced at An Whale Luo, she was sad, very good, this is what she wants. In fact, he deliberately asked Ji Beiran to come to the company with her at the beginning, and he had a business talk with Ji Beiran, just to perform with her.
He asked Chen Tezhu to take Zuo Zuo from kindergarten to the company in advance, knowing that An Whale landed on the rooftop, and deliberately created this encounter, An Whale's performance made him very satisfied, this is just the beginning, and then he will let her love and beg!
But the abnormality of the left left made him a little unexpected.
"Dad, is that aunt an employee of your company just now?" The child leaned on his shoulder and whispered.
"No, she's a partner in the company."
"Will she come often?" Close to his ears, the voice is soft and glutinous, and the rising tail sound is like a coquette.
Jiang Li turned his head slightly when he heard this, the child was not the same as usual. Usually educates him to be a little man, not allowed to be squeamish, plus he is busy with work, and he rarely has parent-child time, so the number of times he sees such a soft and cute child is only a handful, and his heart has softened.
"No, it won't." Watching the child's face fall visibly with the naked eye, Jiang Li teased him: "You like her?" ”
Who knew that the child would not hide his emotions at all, and he looked unhappy just now, but when he heard this, he immediately froze, and his little face became red, and then he buried his face in Jiang Li's arms, and hummed very unnaturally.
Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he saw his reaction, a child who was only four years old knew what liking was?
Zuo Zuo's face flushed with his laughter, and he puffed out his cheeks and said seriously: "Dad, I'm four years old and I know what liking is." Just like Feifei likes Kiki in kindergarten, so he always sticks to Kiki and gives Kiki all the delicious and fun things, and other children bully Kiki, so he protects Kiki. ”
"Then how do you like Auntie?" Jiang Li asked him patiently, enjoying a rare parent-child time.
The child really bit his chubby fingers and thought about it seriously, Jiang Li didn't urge him, to be honest, he was also a little looking forward to the child's answer.
"I will give my favorite superman toy and my favorite custard bun to my aunt, and when my aunt cries, she will give her a hug like a man, and find out the bad guys who bully her, remember it if I can't beat it now, and I must be angry for my aunt when I grow up in the future."
Jiang Li stretched out a finger when he saw him say a reason, and the smile and love seemed to be squeezed by the corners of his crooked eyes, and he rushed to his face.
The first time Zhang Qian saw Jiang Li like this, she was stunned at the door.
It turns out that he can also laugh, not the kind of perfunctory and polite laughter, but the kind of laughter that is genuine and joyful from the heart.
Glancing at the figure at the door, Jiang Li put away his smile and returned to his expressionless face: "Something?" ”
Zhang Qian was very unhappy, why couldn't she have the man in front of her? Have his laugh, his people and his heart? From childhood to adulthood, as long as she wants something, there is nothing she can't get, including Jiang Li, let's see.
"I can't come to you if it's okay." She walked up to him coquettishly and stretched out her hand to Zuozuo, "Long time no see, Zuozuo, come, Auntie hug." ”
Jiang Huaizuo moved his body reluctantly, he didn't like Aunt Zhang to hug her, although she was very beautiful and good to her father and him, but she just didn't like it, and she didn't want her father to like it. As for why he didn't like it, maybe she was too fragrant, so he unconsciously sneezed at her.
Zhang Qian stood in place awkwardly, Jiang Li saw his son's hesitation, so he patted his little head: "You go outside to find Uncle Chen for a snack first, and Dad will take you to a big meal later." ”
After seeing the little back disappear at the door, Jiang Li retracted his gaze: "What's the matter?" ”
Seeing his cold tone, Zhang Qian pouted and complained: "When can you treat me like you did to Zuozuo, even if you don't have half of it." ”
Jiang Li didn't seem to hear her speak, and went straight to her to take off her blazer: "It's okay, I'll go first." ”
"Hey, something, why are you in a hurry, I really don't have any patience at all." The last sentence is a complaint that falls in the throat, "Do you want to come to my manor to play this weekend, my dad invited a celebrity chef from France, and the foie gras is super good, you must try it." ”
Jiang Li looked at her with great interest, couldn't arouse the slightest interest, and picked up his coat again, intending to refuse.
"Jiang Li, you can also take Zuo Zuo with you, it just so happens that there is a playground in the manor, he definitely likes it." Zhang Qian saw that his face was not good, and she was afraid that he would refuse, so she moved Jiang Huaizuo out.
"No, I'm going to take Zuo Zuo home to see his grandparents on the weekend, and I'm not available." He walked out of the office without looking back.
Zhang Qian was very angry, and she had nowhere to vent, so she picked up the phone angrily, and as soon as she was connected, her tears instantly burst out: "Dad, Jiang Li bullied me again......"
Jiang Li took Zuo Zuo to sit down at the hot pot restaurant and order a good dish, the mobile phone rang, looking at Mr. Zhang who was remarked on the screen, his head swelled and hurt, and it was estimated that Zhang Qian had sued again. If it is an ordinary partner, it will be forgotten, in addition to being a partner or a friend of his father for many years, he can't pretend that he didn't hear the mobile phone ringing in this relationship.
"Hey, Uncle Zhang." Taking a deep breath, he answered the phone.
"Xiao Jiang, are you busy? The old man didn't bother you, did he? The other party's voice sounded very gentle.
"No, I'm eating hot pot with Zuozuo, is there anything wrong with Uncle Zhang's call?" I hope it's not a matter of urging him and Zhang Qian to settle down quickly.
"I haven't seen that kid on Zuozuo for a long time, and I have time to bring him to the house to sit." He paused, "Xiao Jiang, Zuo Zuo is also getting older, you didn't think about finding him a mother?" I know that I shouldn't ask you about this, but you also know Qian'er's thoughts about you, since I saw you back to China, I told me every day that I wanted to marry you, that child is stubborn, you have always been salty to her, and she has not given up. I have a daughter, and everything will be hers in the future, you think about it. ”
Jiang Li's head hurt even more, he didn't like Zhang Qian, he always regarded her as the daughter of his father's friend, saying that his friends were a little reluctant, but the parents of both sides always put the two together, he usually used the excuse of being busy with work, and pushed the party they arranged as much as he could, but Zhang Qian always went to the company to find him when he had something to do, which made him speechless and helpless.
Just as he was about to speak, a voice came from the other end of the phone: "Don't answer me in a hurry, I heard that you are going back to see your parents this weekend, that's right, I'll contact Lao Jiang and your family of four to come to me, and let Qian'er send you the address tomorrow, that's all." ”
Listening to the beep on the mobile phone, Jiang Li raked his hair irritably, this time he must take advantage of the fact that everyone is explaining things clearly, but what if he can't say it clearly?
He looked at Zuozuo, who was sitting in the child seat and eating around the rice pocket, and his mind was as happy as when he mentioned the fall of the whale. In case you can't tell, let's find him a new mother!
