The apple in Little Fatty Rong Rui’s hand, half-eaten, fell to the ground.
Seeing Rong Rui’s reaction, Zhang Lan sighed inwardly.
In recent years, Tang Ruan seldom ca here to see Rong Rui. In the past, she would visit once or twice a year, but for the past two years, she hadn’t appeared at all.
If not for the living expenses and salary regularly deposited into her account every six months, Zhang Lan would have thought she planned on abandoning Rong Rui.
Moreover, there weren’t any photos of Tang Ruan in the house, so it was no wonder the little guy didn’t recognize his "biological mom."
Zhang Lan approached, crouching down to be eye-level with the dazed Rong Rui, "Little Rui, it’s mommy."
Rong Rui just stared at Tang Ruan, his soft little face sowhat pale.
"Little Rui, go to your mom, okay?" Zhang Lan knew of Rong Rui’s longing for a "mother," so seeing him frozen in place with no expression, she couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious and urged him.
Rong Rui furrowed his small brows, stubbornly standing still.
"Little Rui..."
"Aunt Zhang, I want to be alone with Little Rui for a while." Tang Ruan spoke again.
Zhang Lan was taken aback, looking at Tang Ruan.
Tang Ruan showed no expression, just as she had every ti Zhang Lan had seen her before.
Thinking that the "mother and son" hadn’t t in a long ti, they needed so ti alone to communicate their feelings and get familiar with each other.
Zhang Lan withdrew her gaze, looked at Rong Rui for a few more seconds with concern, then stood up and carried Tang Ruan’s suitcase upstairs.
Tang Ruan took two steps closer to Rong Rui, looking down at him from above, "Don’t recognize ?"
Rong Rui clenched his small fists, his big eyes clearly red, but his little appearance was stubborn.
Tang Ruan squinted her eyes.
Isn’t he quite like Tang Yige in this way?
A flash of coldness quickly appeared in her eyes, and Tang Ruan reached out to Rong Rui, "Co, let’s sit on the sofa."
Rong Rui glanced at her hand and didn’t extend his own, pursing his small pink lips as he turned and walked towards the sofa.
Tang Ruan raised an eyebrow and gave a sinister smile, casually strolling over.
By the ti Tang Ruan got there, Rong Rui was already seated on the sofa.
Tang Ruan sat next to him, "These years, mommy has been quite busy working hard to provide for you, so I’ve had less ti to visit you. You won’t bla mommy, right?"
Although Tang Ruan said this, her tone was indifferent and dismissive.
Rong Rui gave her a sideways glance and remained silent.
Tang Ruan lowered her head to look at him, her gaze tracing from his clearly spirited eyebrows to his eyes, a faint smile curling on her lips, "But it won’t be like that anymore. Mommy will take you with her."
"..." Rong Rui looked at her surprised, "You want to take with you?"
Tang Ruan gazed at him, the curve of her lips deepened, but her eyes held no hint of mirth, as she gently stroked Rong Rui’s head, "Mm, happy?"
Rong Rui pursed his lips tightly, "Why?"
"Why? You’re my son, I’m your mommy, I want to be with you every day, see you every day," Tang Ruan said.
Rong Rui fixed his gaze on her eyes, "Where are you taking ?"
"Mm..." Tang Ruan thought for a mont, "Back ho."
Back ho?
Rong Rui’s eyes lit up, "Is it to China?"
Tang Ruan nodded.
"Really?"
If it was really to China, he could see Little Gege, how wonderful!
Rong Rui’s eyes sparkled, "Then what about Aunt Zhang? Will she co with us?"
"If she’s willing. After all, you’re used to Aunt Zhang taking care of you, it would be best if she returned with us," Tang Ruan said.
"Aunt Zhang will definitely be willing," Rong Rui said.
Tang Ruan raised her eyebrows without saying anything.
After that, the living room fell silent.
Tang Ruan didn’t speak, and neither did Rong Rui.
He kept looking at Tang Ruan with his big eyes filled with a hint of doubt.
As if he didn’t believe that she was his mother.
About ten minutes later, Tang Ruan turned her head, her gaze falling once more on Rong Rui’s chubby little face, "We’ll stay in France for a while now, I want to rest for a bit, and then we’ll head back together."
"...Can’t we go right away?" Rong Rui asked with so disappointnt.
Tang Ruan’s eyes flickered with surprise, perhaps finding Rong Rui’s enthusiasm and eagerness unexpected. After a while, Tang Ruan said, "Mm, I want to rest for a bit. It’s been exhausting these past few years."
Exhausting?
Rong Rui looked at her.
She had just said that these years, she was busy working to support him, so busy that she didn’t have ti to visit him.
If there wasn’t even ti to call him because she was working all the ti, it was indeed quite exhausting.
So, Rong Rui nodded, "Alright."
Tang Ruan reached out again to stroke Rong Rui’s head, "Mommy’s going upstairs to take a nap first, call when dinner’s ready, okay?"
"...Mm," Rong Rui said.
Tang Ruan gave him a smile, lazily rising from the sofa and heading upstairs.
