Chapter 638: Chapter 638: Intentions, More Important

Luo Yifan was marveling at the little boy’s extensive knowledge, but when he caught onto his last line, he couldn’t help but laugh.

"Baby boy, do you know who your daddy is?"

The wife of L City’s mysterious tycoon, Yan Han, doesn’t have money to buy Hetian Jade? In that case, he, being an unassuming businessman, most certainly can’t afford it either.

"I know, Yan Han!"

However, whether the Young Master’s awareness merely lies in knowing the name, or if it encompasses a deeper understanding, was unclear.

Nevertheless, Luo Yifan didn’t think he ought to be probing so deeply with a child who wasn’t even five years old. Kids should retain some innocence and childlike joy, as Chen Jing said.

If he perceives his parents as ordinary people just like everyone else, there is no harm in that.

Although the Young Master exudes wealth and status, the things he wore and used didn’t differ much from a child of an average well-off family. His lifestyle and temperament exhibited no trace of the spoiled and prideful attitude that usually comes with being a rich child.

It’s clear that Zhu Qianying didn’t bring him up as a wealthy man’s child.

From this, one could infer that the living conditions of the grandparents and the grandson during those years abroad couldn’t be considered affluent at all.

"Baby boy’s daddy is a very successful man. Do you know that?" Luo Yifan attempted to explain Yan Han from another perspective, aiming to steer clear of issues related to money.

"Of course, I know! My daddy, Uncle Ji, and my aunt’s husband are all very successful and powerful men!"

Brimming with pride, the baby boy moved a bit closer to Luo Yifan and said, "Actually, my mommy doesn’t want to spend the money..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yifan understood that the baby boy was aware of everything.

This included the fact that he was the child of a wealthy family and that his mommy wasn’t making purchases not because she didn’t have money, but because she was unwilling to spend it.

"So, I have to work hard to make money in the future. I will buy all the things that mommy likes but is unwilling to buy to give to her."

Having finished expressing his ambitious goals, the baby boy turned around and ran in the direction of the kitchen. Evidently, he wasn’t the least bit interested in Luo Yifan’s gift.

Luo Yifan wondered whether he rejected the jade pendant because it was too expensive, or simply because he had no interest in it.

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Luo Yifan couldn’t help but smile helplessly.

Rather than gauging the mind of a 5-year-old child with an adult’s mentality, buying a lollipop for the baby boy, just like he did for Beibei and Guoguo, might have been a better choice. Perhaps, that would have been more to his liking.

Having had these thoughts, Luo Yifan stood up and headed towards the door, as he remembered there was a candy shop nearby.

Zhu Qianying, checking her bills at the cash counter, smiled at him but didn’t ask about his destination nor did she try to stop him from going out.

Watching him cross the street, she concluded that he did not intend to leave. After all, his laptop was still on the table.

Only when Zhu Qianying’s attention left Luo Yifan did she remember an important question.

"Xiao Ya, who went to pick up Xiaolu today?"

"It’s Xiao Tao. He’s always the one who picks her up." Xiao Ya was taking orders from the customers, but she still managed to respond to Zhu Qianying’s question.

"Why hasn’t he returned yet?"

Zhu Qianying started to feel anxious. Looking at her wristwatch, she asked, "By this time, Xiaolu is usually doing her homework in here, isn’t she?"

Xiaolu attended a public school, which ended one period earlier than the school of the baby boy. Also, Xiaolu lived closer to the restaurant. Usually, by the time the baby boy arrived home from school, Xiaolu had already finished most of her homework.

"Xiao Tao called a while ago and said that the school was hosting some dignitaries today. The kids had to line up on the playground to receive them. So, it’s going to be later than usual."

Zhu Qianying furrowed her eyebrows. It seems like the school was using the kids for show again.

At this late hour, aren’t they concerned about the kids getting hungry?

Zhu Qianying looked around the restaurant. It wasn’t overwhelmingly busy, the staff could manage it.

"I will go to check it out and return soon!" After saying this, Zhu Qianying walked over to the refrigerator. She took out a carton of milk and noticed various types of fruit puddings inside. Thinking back, they must have been made by her mother for the two little ones.

Zhu Qianying took a pudding to give to Xiaolu later to stave off her hunger.

The restaurant was only about a five-minute walk away from the school. Instead of driving, Zhu Qianying, accompanied by her bodyguard, decided to walk to the school.

Before she reached the school gate, she could already hear the bustling noise of children. It looked like the school day had finally ended.

No sooner had she thought this, than she spotted a familiar little figure hop-skip into view. It was none other than Xiaolu.

"Auntie Ying Zi, why are you here?"

Seeing her from afar, Xiaolu seemed delighted. She dropped her bag, rushed towards Zhu Qianying and began to hop around her.

Since the Bai Shao father-daughter duo wasn’t around, Xiaolu had become more reliant on Zhu Qianying these past few days. Soon after Xiaolu got into bed after her bath at first, she fell asleep just like the baby boy. But over the past couple of days, Zhu Qianying had to tell her several stories before she gradually fell asleep.

As it seems, Xiaolu was missing her mommy and grandpa, but she didn’t want to trouble anyone by talking about it.

"I came to pick you up! Here, Grandmother made this especially for you guys."

For this sensible little girl, Zhu Qianying felt helpless yet full of sympathy.

All she could do was pray silently every day, hoping that the Bai Shao father-daughter duo would return safely soon.

"Thank you, Auntie Ying Zi! Can I eat it now?"

Zhu Qianying gently touched her head and said, "Yes, you can. What grandmother made is nutritious because she used milk and fresh fruits."

Eagerly, Xiaolu took a small spoon and had a few bites, before she spoke with her cheeks stuffed.

"Don’t worry, Auntie Ying Zi. I won’t buy food from those unlicensed stalls."

The girl was indeed bright. As soon as Zhu Qianying gave a hint, Xiaolu immediately understood what she meant.

She wasn’t blaming Zhu Qianying for being cautious. Zhu Qianying was just afraid that her carelessness might cause unnecessary harm to Xiaolu.

"Yes, you are such a good girl." Zhu Qianying looked at the extremely satisfied girl, "Why were you released from school so late today? Did your teacher make you stay after school?"

Zhu Qianying asked this knowingly.

"Not at all! Our class always performs the best. How could we be asked to stay after school? Some big tycoons seemed to have donated money to build a new campus. So, we were asked to form a line to welcome them."

What Xiaolu said was almost the same as what Xiao Ya had told her. Only then was Zhu Qianying able to heave a sigh of relief.

"From now on, carry a box of milk to school with you. If there are any special events in the afternoon and you feel hungry, you will have something to eat."

The little girl was nodding vigorously while eating. In this respect, she was very similar to the baby boy.

Neither she nor the baby boy ever liked to trouble adults.
