Chapter 515: Cute Baby Divine Assistance
Although she said she wasn’t heartbroken, Li Duidui wasn’t reassured at all. Suddenly, thinking of something, he said to Rong Yan, “Mom, can we go to grandma’s house for dinner tonight?”
“Hmm?” Rong Yan didn’t expect him to bring this up suddenly and was caught off guard.
Li Duidui’s thoughts were simple; he just wanted to find a mother for his own mom, and grandma was the perfect candidate! Blinking his grape-like big eyes, with an innocent face and steady heart, he came up with an excuse Rong Yan couldn’t refuse, “Grandma’s back has been hurting so much recently, I’ve seen her several times quietly rubbing her back. And the doctor uncle checked grandma’s back, but it wasn’t effective. Mom, aren’t you good at acupuncture? Every time I am in severe pain, the pain goes away after mom sticks needles in me. Can you do acupuncture for grandma too, so she won’t be in pain anymore?”
Mrs. Lin’s back pain? Rong Yan genuinely didn’t know about this. However, she believed Little Baby was not the type to lie. Since he said so, even if the situation wasn’t as serious, the back pain must be true and not fabricated.
“Is it very serious?”
Li Duidui didn’t hesitate to nod, “Grandma is in pain, she has been hurting during the days she took me out.”
Li Shengxiao was also aware of Lin Zhiya’s back pain. He knew that Lin Zhiya’s back problem was not severe; it was just an age-related issue everyone would have. However, he didn’t have any intention of explaining this to Rong Yan, quietly waiting for the reaction of the small woman kneeling on the ground.
Rong Yan pursed her lips and a look of hesitation flashed across her melon-seed-shaped face. But in the blink of an eye, her hesitation turned into a decision. Letting go of the little guy, she stood up and said to the tall man, “Li Shengxiao, how about I visit your house tonight?”
Rong Yan suddenly found her wrist seized, flustered for a moment, she responded helplessly, “Sure. I’m worried about Mrs. Lin, so it’s better to go and have a look. But before we go, you’ll have to accompany me to the mall to buy some gifts, then we can go.”
After all, she was now his girlfriend and nominally his secret wife. Since she was going to visit, she couldn’t be as informal as the last time.
Gift-giving is a basic courtesy.
It’s just that she was too poor, with only a little over a thousand yuan in her account, what could she buy?
Rong Yan was considering whether to borrow some money from Gu Linxi to tide her over when she heard the man’s husky voice say, “You don’t need to bring gifts, she will already be very happy with your visit. Besides, she has everything she needs and isn’t lacking anything!”
Rong Yan gave him a sideways glance, then went to fetch her bag, “It’s Mrs. Lin who doesn’t lack anything, but it’s basic courtesy for me to bring gifts when visiting an elder. Alright, since we’re going, I’ll bring the acupuncture needles. Think about what you want to bring, or else let’s head out early.”
Li Shengxiao watched her busy herself and felt his heart suddenly filled. He took his gaze back and told Gu Ming to take good care of Baby.
Then he went inside to make a phone call.
Half an hour later, Rong Yan had packed everything, changed her clothes, and tied her hair into a ponytail. Full of energy, she took Little Baby and got into the car.
Li Shengxiao was already in the car waiting for them. Seeing them climb in, he handed something to Rong Yan.
“What’s this?” Rong Yan closed the car door after getting in and subconsciously took the box, opened it, and found it contained an expensive pearl necklace.
The distinguished man lightly said, “You mentioned bringing a gift for my mom, let’s use this.”
