Chapter 775: Chapter 775: If you like someone, you will speak sweetly
Rong Yan rubbed his little head, knowing that this was a sign of his affection for someone, as the little guy’s mouth tended to be especially sweet when he liked someone. Of course, in the opposite scenario, his mouth could also be particularly unkind.
“Goodbye.” No woman can resist designer brands, just as no woman can resist a cute child with good looks and a sweet mouth. Even a strong woman like Estelle couldn’t resist, showing a rare smile, her eyes curling as she said, “Come and play again next time, aunty will have candy and milk ready for you.”
“Thank you, pretty aunty.” Li Duidui’s mouth was as sweet as if it had been smeared with honey, obedient and sweet, going straight to the heart.
Estelle was so charmed that she wished she could take him home to play for a couple of days, “No need to thank me, alright now, obediently follow your mother. Remember not to run around and make your mother worry, she was almost in tears when she called me about you disappearing. There are many bad people outside, and it’s easy for you to get hurt if you are alone.”
Li Duidui turned his head and looked up at Rong Yan, his eyes seemingly asking if she had almost been in tears earlier. Compressing his lips, he turned his gaze back to Estelle and nodded solemnly, “I understand, Mrs. Estelle, I won’t do it again.”
“As long as you understand, that’s good, sweetie.” Estelle had never met a child as well-behaved as him. Compared to the little tomboy at her home who was like a Demon King, he was a completely different style, “It’s okay to make mistakes occasionally, your mum won’t be angry with you. Go on.”
Rong Yan watched Little Baby nod obediently, without a hint of impatience, and smiled to Estelle, “Estelle, it seems that my Duidui really likes you.”
If it were someone else lecturing the little guy, even if he didn’t say anything, he definitely wouldn’t take it seriously. But just now, the little guy was clearly taking it in.
“I like him too. You may as well just give me your son to be my child.” She blurted out a joke in her relaxed state, but then she realized she might have gone too far with her joke.
Li Duidui was not only Rong Yan’s son but also Mr. Li’s son. Coveting that man’s son was purely a suicidal act of overreaching.
She immediately corrected herself, “Don’t take it to heart; I was just joking.”
Rong Yan wasn’t one to quibble over minor matters. She didn’t even notice anything wrong with Estelle’s words and took it as a joke between friends, “No worries, I remember Mrs. Estelle’s daughter is about the same age as Duidui. We should bring them out to play together when we have time.”
“That would be nice.” Estelle flipped through her schedule and said, “Once you finish the AQ finals, I’ll arrange for you to have ten days off. We’ll see if we can find some time to play. It’s been a long time since I took my daughter to the amusement park.”
Her job seemed glamorous, but she was constantly busy like a spinning top, hardly finding time to rest. She rarely had the opportunity to accompany her daughter.
And then, not long after giving birth to her daughter, she divorced her ex-husband. Now her child was being looked after by her parents, and she had also hired a nanny.
She knew none of these could compare to a mother’s companionship with her child, but she just couldn’t manage to make time for her child like Rong Yan did.
As a result, her daughter had grown quite distant from her.
“OK.” Rong Yan didn’t know what Estelle was lost in thought about and after agreeing, she glanced at the watch on her wrist. There were 15 minutes left. She lifted her head and said to Estelle, “Mrs. Estelle, then I should head off.”
