Chapter 339: Years Pass by (Part )
Shen Zhaoli was so moved that he almost cried. He held Wen Jiao's hand and was about to say something when the door of the box was opened and little Bian Xiao came skipping in.
The little fellow blinked his big eyes, and when he saw Shen Zhaoli, he exclaimed in surprise, "What a handsome little uncle!"
Bian Xiao had met Shen Zhaoli before, but not many times, so it was impossible to leave a deep impression in the child's mind.
Shen Zhaoli was very pleased with Bian Xiao's heartfelt praise. This kid really has good taste and vision.
He smiled and waved at Bian Xiao, "Come here, let your uncle hug you and see how heavy you are!"
Bian Xiao then hugged his small schoolbag and threw himself into Shen Zhaoli's arms, "Uncle! I like you so much!"
Shen Jinci stood at the door, watching this scene and felt a headache.
It seemed like everyone was attracted by Bian Xiao's tricks. His younger brother was hugging Bian Xiao, smiling with a worthless look on his face.
"I like Xiaoxiao, too. Xiaoxiao, whatever you want, uncle will buy it for you!"
Another doting child.
Shen Jinci said coldly: "Don't spoil him."
Shen Zhaoli put Bian Xiao on his lap. He strongly disagreed with Shen Jinci's words, "Xiaoxiao is just a child. It's okay to spoil him a little. Brother, why are you so picky about a child? This is your son, just spoil him a little."
Shen Jinci sat down without saying a word and began to look at the menu.
He ordered a few more dishes, and Bian Yue finally arrived.
She was wearing a little too much today and had been running fast all the way here, so her little face was flushed.
She walked in from outside and saw that everyone had arrived. She was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry! Mom is late!"
Bian Xiao jumped up from Shen Zhaoli's arms like a spring, ran to Bian Yue, and hugged Bian Yue's legs, "Mom! Mom!"
She has such a baby voice and is so adorable.
Bian Yue's heart softened after being called, she bent down and kissed the little guy's face, and said, "I'm a little busy today, Xiaoxiao, can we eat the birthday cake first?"
Bian Xiao nodded obediently. In front of Bian Yue, he was particularly well-behaved. "Then I want to give the first piece to my mother!"
"Okay!" Bian Yue said with a smile, "Wait until Xiaoxiao makes a wish, and then Xiaoxiao will cut it for Mommy."
Bian Xiao said yes, and nodded his little head happily.
Bian Yue coaxed him into submission before sitting next to Shen Jinci.
The latter stood up, took the coat from her naturally, and asked softly, "Is the new cooperation difficult?"
"The conditions Lu Zhinian offered are very generous and not difficult, but there are too many interest chains involved, so we need to smooth them out." Bian Yue said this, smiled and looked at Shen Jinci, and said softly: "I have booked a flight to the north and will leave tomorrow."
Shen Jinci had a smile in his eyes, and he said, "Then let Bian Xiao live in Wen Jiao's house first."
Bian Yue nodded, leaned close to Shen Jinci's ear, and said in a low voice: "Thank you for your hard work during this period, Mr. Shen."
Shen Jinci's eyes were gentle. He looked at Bian Yue's serious expression, squeezed her palm, and said, "It's more important that Yueyue is happy."
After everyone celebrated Bian Xiao's birthday, the little guy was naturally taken home by Wen Jiao.
On the way, Bian Xiao sat between Wen Jiao and Shen Zhaoli and took out an English dictionary from his schoolbag.
Wen Jiao looked at Bian Xiao in shock and asked, "Xiao Xiao, when did you start watching this?"
Bian Xiao raised the dictionary and shook it proudly, "I have memorized all the words and sentences in it. Next time my mother goes abroad, I will go with her!" Shen Zhaoli smiled and looked at Bian Xiao leisurely, "Then why don't you go with her this time?"
"Dad has been busy these days, so I'll let him take care of mom for a while!" After saying that, Bian Xiao started looking through the dictionary.
Wen Jiao looked at Bian Xiao with a smile on her face, the love in her eyes was evident.
"Tomorrow, Auntie will ask Grandpa to prepare a lot of delicious food for Xiaoxiao. Is there anything Xiaoxiao would like to eat?"
The little guy shook his head and said in a baby voice, like a little adult: "I'm not picky about food! Xiaoxiao will eat whatever grandpa cooks!"
Wen Jiao said yes repeatedly, silently hoping in her heart that Bian Yue and Shen Jinci would not come back so soon, and that she could hug Bian Xiao more often. The little guy was so adorable!
It was late at night and when the car arrived at the door of the Wen family, Bian Xiao had already fallen asleep.
Shen Zhaoli carried Bian Xiao out of the car and put him in the guest room that had been prepared in advance.
Wen Yongwei had already fallen asleep. Wen Jiao followed behind Shen Zhaoli, walking lightly.
Wen Jiao didn't feel relieved until the little guy was safely put into the crib. She took a few photos of Bian Xiao's face, put him in the group of four, and typed a line of words.
——'The little one is asleep.'
Bian Yue quickly sent a little rabbit emoticon to indicate that she understood.
Wen Jiao put the phone back into his pocket, looked at Shen Zhaoli with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Are you tired? Go and have a rest first, I'll go see my dad."
"Okay, go ahead." Shen Zhaoli lowered his eyes, restrained his gaze, and showed no emotion. "Come back early to rest."
Wen Jiao agreed and left.
Wen Yongwei's room is next to the elevator, and given his current physical condition, it is quite difficult for him to go up and down the stairs.
Wen Jiao opened the door and walked in. There was still a faint smell of herbs in the room.
Wen Jiao sat down and held Wen Yongwei's hand. There were sour tears in her eyes. When Wen Yongwei slowly woke up, she had not had time to stop crying.
"Dad, you're awake." Wen Jiao quickly covered up and said with a smile, "I just got back. How are you feeling today? Are you feeling unwell?"
Wen Yongwei shook his head slowly. He looked at Wen Jiao with a loving smile in his eyes. "How come this kid came back with such a gloomy face after going out to play? Didn't he have fun?"
Wen Jiao shook her head quickly, her voice choked with sobs, and she smiled and said, "I'm not unhappy! By the way, Zhao Li is back too, haven't you been thinking about him? He took a flight the day before yesterday, and you were at the hospital for a checkup, so you didn't see him."
Wen Yongwei's smile deepened. He sighed and said, "Now that he's back, I feel relieved. Jiaojiao, Daddy is always worried that you can't take care of yourself."
"I'm not a child. I can take care of myself." Wen Jiao covered Wen Yongwei with a blanket and said with a smile, "Don't worry. I'm independent now."
Wen Yongwei nodded and said, "Okay, go and have a rest. Dad is going to sleep too."
Wen Jiao saw Wen Yongwei's glaring white hair under the soft yellow light.
He is really old.
This fact made Wen Jiao feel speechless and desperate.
Wen Jiao suppressed her grief and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go and rest then."
It was not until she walked back to the room that Wen Jiao finally relaxed and cried out loudly, covering her face.
The next moment, she felt someone hugging her gently. Shen Zhaoli's voice was gentle and patient. He said, "Don't be afraid. I'll take care of everything."
