"No, I didn’t drink, I’m not drunk!" She shook her head in his arms, "Who said I’m drunk?"
"Fine, you’re not drunk!" Lu Beichen gently patted her back, "Then why are you upset? Did you drink because you’re upset?"
As soon as Lu Beichen asked, she suddenly froze in his arms, then looked up and started crying, her head tilted back, her quiet sobs seemed to release emotions suppressed for a long time, uncontrollable.
Lu Beichen had never seen her cry so intensely!
He was at a loss for what to do!
Li Yi, who was driving, also paused his hand, and Shen Congling said nervously, "Every time Sister Tongtong gets drunk, she talks a lot, but after she finishes, she falls deeply asleep. It’s the first time I’ve seen her cry so sadly!"
Was it her first time seeing this too?!
Ji Niandong was still crying in sobs, tears rolling down her cheeks, landing one by one on Lu Beichen’s hands, as if his hands were burning.
He had seen this kind of crying before!
The last time, it was his son!
This time, it was his wife!
Lu Beichen finally let out a trembling sigh, held her tightly, one hand on the back of her head, the other gently stroking her hair, comforting her like a child, "Don’t be sad! We won’t look for those we don’t want to find! I will always be by your side, and so will Nian Nian!"
"Really?" she said in a choked voice, broken by sobs, "Little Uncle will never leave me? Won’t suddenly disappear? Won’t make me unable to find you? You’ll always be by my side, right?"
"Yes, I promise, I will always be by your side. Whenever you need me, I will appear before you immediately!" he softly assured her, "Nian Nian will always be by your side as well!"
"You’re lying! Didn’t you promise to reunite Nian Nian with his biological mother? Then you’ll be with them, right?" she cried even harder.
Shen Congling couldn’t hold back anymore and was about to speak, but Li Yi covered her mouth to stop her.
Lu Beichen chuckled softly, "You are Mrs. Lu, if there’s a reunion, it will be our reunion! Nian Nian won’t leave you either; you forgot, you just witnessed his growth yesterday. He’s still waiting at home for you to come back, isn’t he?"
"Really?" She buried her head in his arms.
Lu Beichen nodded, "When have I ever lied to you?"
"You once lied to me that Nian Nian likes fried eggs!"
Even drunk, she remembered so clearly?!
"He did like them, but after having them too much, he got tired of them, so he doesn’t like them anymore!"
"Okay!" she obediently responded, lying on his shoulder, gradually stopping her tears, but still sniffling from crying so hard earlier.
Lu Beichen’s heart ached with pain too, unbearably upset!
He tilted his head to kiss her hair, then closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, "Li Yi, find out what exactly happened today!"
"Yes, Boss!" He had never seen the Boss so careful, so anxious before!
"I didn’t realize Sister Tongtong had been through so much! Brother-in-law, who exactly is Little Overlord’s mom? When his biological mother returns, will you really not abandon my Sister Tongtong?" Shen Congling asked with a frown.
"Don’t talk nonsense!" Li Yi immediately interrupted her.
