100% Love from the Boss - Chapter 378 - A Dilemma

Taotao had dinner with his grandparents, playing with the toys. He was very happy the whole day. However, in the evening, when he saw that it was dark, he was anxious.

“Daddy, it’s dark now!” Taotao pushed Ling Tianyi’s arms.

“Well, it’s over seven o’clock. It’s time to get dark.” Ling Tianyi sat on the sofa and said calmly. He was afraid that Taotao would look for his mommy. Although he guaranteed to Xia Xiaoluo that he could look after Taotao well, he was not confident in his heart. He was afraid that Taotao would not listen to him.

“Daddy, why didn’t mommy come to take me home?” Taotao crawled onto Ling Tianyi’s body. “Is mommy going to abandon Taotao? Why didn’t she come to take me home when it is already dark?”

Ling Tianyi was helpless. What he feared most came finally. Ling Tianyi couldn’t escape. He could only embrace Taotao and said with the most gentle tone, “Taotao, mommy doesn’t abandon you. Mommy has gone to F County to deal with something. When you and grandma are playing with the big plane, mommy called me and said that she could not come back tonight. She asked me to take care of you. It is estimated that tomorrow evening at the latest, she will come to take you home.”

“I don’t want this!” Taotao pouted his lips. He looked very sad. It seemed that he was about to cry.

“Taotao, you’re a little man. You need to understand mommy. Mommy will come to see you as soon as she finishes what she’s doing.” Ling Tianyi comforted Taotao.

Taotao held back his emotion and asked Ling Tianyi again, “Can I give mommy a call?”

Taotao was worried that Ling Tianyi would refuse him. Because he had run out of the time of making phone calls today. If he knew that mommy would not come back tonight, he would not spend so much time calling sister Xiaoxiao. At least he could reserve enough time to call his mommy. But now it was too late to regret it. He could only hope that daddy could show mercy to him and gave him a few minutes to call his mommy.

Of course, Ling Tianyi would not refuse Taotao’s request. After all, Taotao was only four years old.

Ling Tianyi touched Taotao’s head. “I agree that you can call your mommy, but I have a request. Do you agree?”

Taotao blinked, “What’s the request?”

“Mommy is dealing with the things in F County today. She is very tired. You can call her to say hello to her. Don’t pester mommy to ask why she doesn’t come to pick you up and don’t cry. In short, don’t let mommy worry about you. And don’t put more pressure on mommy, OK?” Ling Tianyi said. He was discussing with Taotao, not ordering him.

“OK. I just want to talk with mommy for a while. I won’t make mommy sad.” Taotao promised immediately.

Ling Tianyi took out his mobile phone, dialed Xia Xiaoluo’s number, and handed it to Taotao.

“Mommy, you finally answer the phone.” When Taotao heard Xia Xiaoluo’s voice, he was excited at once.

“Baby, are you obedient today?” Xia Xiaoluo had been in a bad mood today. But when she heard Taotao’s voice, she felt that the haze in her heart was eliminated in a moment. Her tone was cheerful.

“Mommy, I’ve been at grandparents’ home with daddy today. My grandparents bought me a lot of toys and planes. I liked them very much. And today, we ate the seafood made by the cook of my grandparents’ home. It tasted good, not worse than that of the big restaurant. I ate a lot!” Taotao said happily.

“Did you show your gratitude to your grandparents? Remember the manners mommy taught you!” Xia Xiaoluo reminded him.

“Yes!” Taotao said with a little guilty. He did say thank you, but he didn’t say it every time.

“Well, you have to take good care of yourself when you are with daddy in the evening. I am worried that daddy does not know how to take care of children.” Xia Xiaoluo encouraged Taotao to do more things by itself.

“Mommy, you can do your business in F County at ease. Don’t worry about me. I have grown up, and I don’t need daddy to take care of me. I can take care of myself. I can take a bath and brush my teeth by myself,” Taotao said like an adult.

“Well, call mommy if you need me. I can’t talk to you on the phone. Great-grandpa still has something to do with me!” Xia Xiaoluo said. She knew that Ouyang Feng didn’t have a good appetite at dinner, so she wanted to cook some delicious food for Ouyang Feng. Otherwise, she wanted to continue talking with Taotao.

“OK, mommy. I won’t disturb you. When you finish, you’d better have a good rest. If you are over-tired, I will worry about you.” Taotao was reluctant to hang up.

“Good boy, bye, baby. I will take you home tomorrow. Goodbye!” Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile.

Taotao hung up. He was also depressed.

“What’s the matter? You were so happy, just now. Now You look depressed again?” Ling Tianyi asked.

“I’m not happy all the time! I miss my mommy so much! I just pretended to be very happy, letting mommy not to worry about me.” Taotao looked sad.

At this time, He Meishu, who helped Taotao and Ling Tianyi to clean up their rooms, came and said to Taotao, “Baby, you live in grandma’s home today. I will tell you a story.”

“Mom, Taotao misses his mommy. He is sad now! Don’t mention that,” Ling Tianyi said.

Just now, Ling Desheng was watching them, he knew everything. He just didn’t know how to comfort his grandson.

He Meishu wanted to say something else. But Ling Tianyi was afraid that He Meishu would say something to despise Xia Xiaoluo. It would make Taotao unhappier. So he said directly, “Taotao, it’s only seven o’clock now. It’s very close to sister Xiaoxiao’s home from here, just about ten minutes. How about going there to see sister Xiaoxiao?”

“Really?” Taotao’s eyes were bright at once.

“Of course, when have I cheated you?” Ling Tianyi said with a smile. He just wanted to make Taotao happy and forget to miss his mommy for a while.

“Oh yeah! I want to go to play with sister Xiaoxiao!” Taotao jumped up on the sofa out of excitement, almost stepped on Ling Tianyi’s leg.

“Son, if you trample on daddy and hurt me, then we can’t go.” Ling Tianyi rubbed his legs.

“Daddy, are you painful?” Taotao asked nervously.

“I’m OK. Go to put on your coat. It’s cool outside at night,” Ling Tianyi said. Then he took Taotao off the sofa.

He Meishu came to help Taotao immediately while Taotao asked to change his clothes directly. “Grandma, I want to change the blue suit you showed me today.”

“OK. I will take you to change it upstairs.” He Meishu was happy because it was she who had selected the blue suit for Taotao.

“Who’s sister Xiaoxiao? What’s the relationship between Taotao and Xiaoxiao? What’s the background of her family?” Ling Desheng asked like a machine gun.

Ling Tianyi was helpless; he had to answer it clearly to comfort his father.

Ling Tianyi went out with Taotao in formal clothes. The old couple continued to pack the things for Taotao at home. They studied what bath gel Taotao should use when he had a bath in the evening; they also discussed which pajamas Taotao should wear in the evening. Although they were very tired, the process was very exciting.

At the same time, Xia Xiaoluo made the light vegetable porridge for Ouyang Feng. She cooked two dishes, one meat, and one vegetable. Although it looked simple, every dish was complicated. It was definitely the best of the best.

“Grandpa, you just ate a little for dinner. Now I cook some for you. You have to eat something! You should give me some courage. I am the owner of the chain restaurant! Otherwise, I will not have the confidence to run the restaurant in the future,” Xia Xiaoluo persuaded Ouyang Feng.

“Grandpa, the dishes will be cold if you don’t eat them!” Noticing that Ouyang Feng did not take action, Xia Xiaoluo had to continue to persuade him.

“Xiaoluo, I want to ask you a question,” Ouyang Feng said.

“Grandpa, you should eat something first. After dinner, whatever you ask me, I will answer you. I am sure I will cooperate with you very well. But if you don’t eat anything, I will be angry, and I will ignore you.” Xia Xiaoluo finally found a breakthrough to persuade Ouyang Feng to eat something.

“You!” Ouyang Feng shook his head, he looked helpless. “OK. I also feel hungry. I’ll eat some! Taste dishes cooked by the owner of our chain restaurant!”

“OK. Grandpa is so lovely!” Xia Xiaoluo joked. She knew that Ouyang Feng was in a bad mood today, so she wanted to make fun of him. In fact, she was also in a bad mood. But Ouyang Feng had a heart attack. She could not show her bad mood, but to take Ouyang Feng out of the bad mood first.

Ouyang Feng ate more than half a bowl of porridge and much of the two pickles. This basically met the requests of Xia Xiaoluo.

After dinner, Ouyang Feng sat for a while. After they cleaned the desk up, Ouyang Feng asked again, “Xiaoluo, I have had dinner. Will you answer my question now?”

“OK. Just ask me.” Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile.

“Xiaoluo, if we really find out the truth that Xia Youfeng killed your mother, or he connived that woman to kill your mother. Then I want to take revenge for your mother. Will you feel difficult to accept it?” Ouyang Feng asked.

Ouyang Feng asked Ouyang Ziqian to investigate the truth because he wanted Xia Xiaoluo not to have too much psychological burden when he revenged against Xia Youfeng. Otherwise, only based on Xiao Lan’s words, he was already mad enough to tear Xia Youfeng up into pieces.

However, Ouyang Feng thought for a while. Xia Xiaoluo was the daughter of Xia Youfeng, after all. If Xia Xiaoluo wanted to revenge against Xia Youfeng, she needed more courage. And she would suffer more in her heart.

If he revenged against Xia Youfeng, Xia Xiaoluo would be in a dilemma. If he didn’t revenge against Xia Youfeng, he would feel uneasy all the time. Ouyang Feng didn’t know how to do it, so he asked this question.

“Grandpa, can I say that, actually, I don’t know either?” Xia Xiaoluo said, “Today, Aunt Xiao told us those things. I was very angry at that time. And I even wanted to kill Xia Youfeng. However, I calm down now. I don’t know how to deal with it. I really don’t know.”
