Chapter 685: Chapter 685: The Unknown Future

"Can’t sleep..."

Mother and daughter looked at each other seriously, each taking in the other’s exhausted face.

"Ying’er, how should we explain this to Baby Boy later?"

Chen Jing thought, she and her eldest daughter, as adults, still found it hard to accept this reality. As for Baby Boy and Bai Xiaolu...

At this thought, Chen Jing sighed deeply.

"I don’t know too..."

Zhu Qianying was usually a person full of ideas, but this time, she also felt helpless.

Several times, she wanted to tell Baby Boy and Bai Xiaolu the truth, but seeing their happy and radiant smiles, she couldn’t bear to shatter their happiness and joy.

Never mind that then, since the separation was inevitable, so was the sorrow. Let them play to their hearts’ content and be as happy as possible until the very last moment.

At least, the two could continue to play happily together for a few more days.

Otherwise, shrouded by the gloom of separation, they could naturally no longer continue to play happily.

Mother and daughter silently prepared a extraordinarily lavish breakfast together. After it was ready, Chen Jing specially put many snacks that Xiaolu and Bai Shao liked into several large fresh-keeping boxes, preparing to let Bai Shao take them on the plane.

The seven members of the Yan Family and Bai Xiangdong’s grandfather, father, and son sat together around the table for breakfast, the adults forcing smiles, discussing something amid laughter.

Baby Boy and Bai Xiaolu, on the other hand, were still discussing the interesting things that happened at Ke Kai’s wedding the day before.

Halfway through breakfast, Bai Xiaolu suddenly stopped, propped her cheek, and asked Bai Shao, "Mommy, when can I go back to school?"

Bai Shao was startled and stammered out, unable to give an accurate answer.

Finally, it was Mr. Yan who took the reins, "You can wait a bit. When your grandfather can move around freely, you can go back to school, okay?"

Bai Xiaolu didn’t suspect him as she nodded and said okay, "Yes, when I go to school, I want to show them the photos of me in my little dress and suit yesterday. Let’s see if they dare to call me a tomboy again?"

Bai Xiaolu’s features were very beautiful and feminine but perhaps her personality was too much of a tomboy, which lead people to mistake her for one.

Hearing her daughter’s aggrieved words, Bai Shao turned her face and quietly wiped the corner of her eyes.

Zhu Qianying watched the scene before her, only hoping that the morning’s breakfast time could be extended indefinitely. But no matter how much she wished it to be, it still couldn’t extend indefinitely.

This breakfast took nearly an hour to finish. After that, Bai Shao and Zhu Qianying let the kids take Star to walk by the seaside.

Meanwhile, they, seizing the opportunity of the children’s absence, quickly put together the luggage for the family.

It was clear that Bai Shao knew that the chances of her leaving the Zong Family after this trip were minimal.

By ten or so, there was a loud noise outside. Zhu Qianying looked up and saw, through the floor-to-ceiling windows, a clear view of a helicopter hovering overhead in the garden, looking for a suitable place to land.

Mr. Yan went outside upon hearing the sound, standing in the lawn to direct the pilot on where to land.

Zhu Qianying and Bai Shao, who had already more or less finished packing, saw that the plane had landed and followed them outside.

Far away, a pair of old people could be seen exiting the helicopter.

They both looked to be in their fifties, and from far away, their compelling demeanor could already be felt.

Zhu Qianying had never met Mr and Mrs. Zong before, but their presence matched exceedingly with the description given by Mr. Yan.

She and Bai Shao walked side by side towards them, then heard Bai Shao nod and greet them, "Elder Zong, Mrs. Zong."

This pair of unfamiliar titles, not to mention Zhu Qianying, even Mr. Yan who was standing beside Mr. and Mrs. Zong, was taken aback.

However, Mr. and Mrs. Zong seemed unsurprised at her greeting, only nodding lightly to Bai Shao. Then, disregarding Bai Shao and Zhu Qianying, they looked around and asked, "Where is the little girl?"

Zhu Qianying felt nervous. This Mr. and Mrs. Zong were rather cold towards their friends, weren’t they?

If she remembered correctly, Mr. Yan had once said that before Zong Zhe and Bai Shao separated, Zong Zhe had already introduced Bai Shao to his parents. So the attitude of Mr. and Mrs. Zong right now, did it indicate they didn’t like Bai Shao?

Or, was it simply that they were accustomed to their lofty position, so therefore had a patronizing attitude towards everyone?

No matter which it was, Zhu Qianying felt a sense of unease.

Inwardly, she also started to worry about her friend and Xiaolu’s future.

"They went for a walk. They’ll probably be back soon. Elder Zong and Mrs. Zong, why don’t you have some tea inside first?"

As the host, Mr. Yan coolly invited the two in.

Only then did Zhu Qianying and Bai Shao go inside, ushering in Mr. and Mrs. Zong. While the servant was serving tea, Mr. Zong did not even touch the tea, but rather looked at the time and said coldly,

"What time is it? They’re still out for a walk. Mr. Yan, have someone find the little girl."

Zhu Qianying wondered if this Mr. Zong was eager to meet his granddaughter or if he was simply worrying that the more time passed, the more problems that could arise. Anyhow, she felt that this Mr. Zong was not a kind person and not to be messed with by ordinary people.

"Elder Zong, rest assured, Baby Boy and Xiaolu usually come back before eleven."

Because by that time, the two little boys would be hungry!

Mr. Yan’s thoughts were the same as Zhu Qianying and Bai Shao’s, all hoping to give the two children as much time to spend together as possible.

Mr. Zong furrowed his brows, preparing to say something when Mrs. Zong pulled his arm and smiled at Zhu Qianying and the others,

"Well then let’s wait for a while. After all, we’ve been waiting for so long now, a little more won’t hurt."

Zhu Qianying intuitively felt that there was more to Mrs. Zong’s words, and clearly, they were meant for her friend to hear.

She turned to look at her friend and saw that she was indifferently staring at the veranda, lost in thought.

Zhu Qianying felt her heart sinking, little by little.

At this moment, even if Mr. Yan had great abilities, he wouldn’t be able to keep Bai Shao and her daughter here.

Zhu Qianying was very clear about this.

"Mrs. Zong, I may have overstepped my boundaries earlier and for that, I apologize. As the temporary guardian, I must ensure Xiaolu’s safety."

Mr. Yan was apologizing for not letting Mr. and Mrs. Zong see Xiaolu earlier, at the same time trying to divert Mr. and Mrs. Zong’s attention to himself.

Even though he was a big man, he could still feel that Mr. and Mrs. Zong weren’t exactly friendly towards Bai Shao, even if his thoughts weren’t as detailed as Zhu Qianying’s.

Mr. Yan glanced at Zhu Qianying, his eyes meeting her anxious ones.

He could more or less guess what his wife was thinking at the moment, but even if he understood, he was unable to stop what was happening.

What’s most important was that all this was Bai Shao’s own choice.
