Little Momo quickly pulled his sister and dashed upstairs.
"Mommy, I really am at home. If you don’t believe me, open the door and see!"
After saying this, he hung up the phone and then ran back to knock on the door.
Fortunately, he made it back in time, otherwise, he would have been caught red-handed by Mommy!
As soon as Lu Wanwan opened the door, indeed she saw the two little ones standing outside.
She looked at them suspiciously, "Where did you run off to?"
"Went down to buy snacks!" Little Momo answered straightforwardly.
Little Youyou remained silent.
There had been occasions in the past when the two gave different stories, so she decided to let her brother handle everything.
"Where are the cookies?"
Lu Wanwan crossed her arms and squinted her eyes, sizing them up.
"Momo, why is your hair..."
"Mommy, I borrowed some props from the neighbor uncle this afternoon to see if I could look even cooler!"
To minimize the chance of being recognized by Mommy at the scene, they had not only changed clothes but even hairstyles.
Little Momo had specially used some hair gel to make a trendy hairstyle, intending to wash it out when he got back, but he hadn’t had the chance.
Luckily, they had changed out of their little jackets and everything inside Brother Deng’s car.
"Oh, did Youyou fall down?" Lu Wanwan finally noticed the scrape on Little Youyou’s leg, reddened over a large area.
Little Youyou quickly seized the opportunity and ran up to hug her leg, whimpering, "Mommy, I fell down just now, and it really hurts!"
Lu Wanwan felt distressed. "Come inside quickly; Mommy will put some medicine on you."
By evening, the day’s events were smoothly glossed over, and Lu Wanwan did not ask any more questions.
Before going to sleep, Little Youyou clung to her phone and pondered. Eventually, she sent a text to her uncle.
"Uncle, do you miss me even a little bit?"
After sending it, she was so nervous!
Her brother had told her not to send any messages, but she couldn’t help herself.
After a while, a message that had been edited countless times before being sent arrived on her phone.
"Lu Ziyou little friend, don’t lie to me next time."
"Ah!" Little Youyou almost screamed. Uncle had actually figured out who she was.
"Did you see a bug?" came her brother’s voice from below.
Little Youyou immediately pressed her phone tight under the covers, "No, Brother, go to sleep. I’m just warming up my voice."
"Uncle, how did you know my name?"
She edited this message several times as well.
"At this time, you should be asleep. Make sure Mommy gets up for work tomorrow and isn’t late."
Little Youyou really wanted to say, Uncle, how do you know my mommy?
But since Uncle told her to sleep, she decided to be a good girl and go to bed.
So she just replied with a "Good night," received a "Good night" back from Uncle, and then happily drifted into dreamland.
Lu Wanwan rushed to MG bright and early for some sudden meeting.
After she left, a car quietly pulled up to the entrance of the apartment complex.
The man in the car was busily dealing with work, occasionally glancing outside.
Zhao Chen couldn’t help but say to his boss, who had pushed off the morning meeting and moved his work to the car, "President Gu, I will keep an eye out for you."
Gu Annan frowned, giving him a look of none of your business.
After a while, he put his work aside.
Lu Wanwan was simply worried that he would take the children away; perhaps no matter what he did, she would perceive it as trying to take the kids away.
He didn’t plan to scare them, he just wanted to slowly become a part of their lives.
"President Gu, they’re coming out!"
Hearing Zhao Chen’s voice, Gu Annan lifted his head.
He found himself somewhat nervous, unable to predict what his presence as a father meant to the two children.
