Overwhelmed

Chapter 21, The Mother Who Comes and Goes in a Hurry

A gentle female voice with a bit of distress and a smile floated softly into my ears, "It's been a while since I've seen you, mother's little prince, why have you lost so much weight?"

I opened my eyes unexpectedly and turned to look at the person beside the bed.

It was already evening, and the sky had already completely darkened.

The person who came reached out and turned on the night light beside the bed, and the soft and beautiful silhouette lit up in my eyes, exactly like the one in Wanli's profile photo.

Seeing that I just looked at her and didn't speak, the visitor smiled and stretched out his hand, stroked my face, and said softly, "Why, you really don't even know my mother?"

The touch on the face is warm and soft, with a faint fragrance, and the voice wafting in the ears is also delicate and soft.I looked at this woman with a beautiful face that could hardly tell her age, and I couldn't help calling out, "...Mom."

"I'm here." She was sitting on the edge of my bed, looking at me with a smile, "I haven't heard Xiao Yuan call my mother for many years, and she keeps calling me mother like your elder brother, which makes my mother very sad."

As she said that, she rubbed my cheek.

I looked at her with eyes wide open in embarrassment, and she blinked at me slyly, and smiled softly, "I will always call you mom from now on, don't learn everything from your elder brother, he has been Always with a cold face. Xiaoyuan is very good as he is now, everything is written on his face, and he is as cute as when he was a child."

I... don't know what to say at all. In fact, apart from the accident of meeting someone, I just feel embarrassed now.

Although the information provided by Wan Li has popularized all the people related to me, but I don't have the slightest impression of these people after all.

The big brother, Lu Mingzhao, and the little girl may be because they have been in contact with each other a lot, and there is no chance for me to be unfamiliar with them at all, so I don't think there is anything wrong.But... when another person who should have a very close relationship with me, but whom I have no impression of at all, appeared in front of me, I just felt strange.

This feeling makes me a little uneasy because I...don't want anyone to get hurt by my attitude.

Obviously they should be very close relatives whose blood is thicker than water.

But my mother didn't seem to notice my expression, she took my hand, wrapped me in her little hand, and continued, "Xiaoyuan, have you not eaten well recently, why did you lose so much weight? After the year you leave I told Mingrui to take good care of you when you were young, but it seems he didn't do it."

As soon as I heard her mentioning my eldest brother, I still had a complaining tone, I quickly shook my head, "You misunderstood my eldest brother, he has always taken care of me! It's me who keeps causing trouble for him..."

Thinking of the recent series of events, I feel a little depressed again.

There was a sigh in my ear, and my mother rubbed my hair, with helplessness and joy in her smiling eyes, "Didn't it mean that you don't remember the past, why are you still the same as before, don't allow others to say that you Isn’t that what big brother said?”

I still shook my head and insisted, "I'm telling the truth. My elder brother really treats me very well, takes care of me, and cares about my feelings...Although he seldom talks to me, I... already know .”

My mother squinted at me for a while, finally nodded, then smiled at me, "Now, it's already dinner time, should my little prince get up quickly and have dinner with his mother? I know that in order to see you, I skipped your father's date on purpose, he must be huddled in the study now, sulking all by himself."

In the end, her tone was full of complacency and cunning, which made me laugh. Most of the strangeness and uneasiness were unconsciously dissipated because of her familiar and relaxed attitude. Dad was a little curious.

However, the relationship between father and mother seems to be very good, which can be seen from the happiness on the face of mother when she mentioned father.

This is so good.

At dinner time, my mother refused the long European-style table we usually eat, and took me and my eldest brother to sit on a small round table. The three of us sat together. Get a lot closer at mealtimes.

I admired my mother silently from the bottom of my heart, especially when she didn't care about the cold aura of the elder brother at all, and kept talking while serving us two food, it reached the peak.

"Mother." Finally, after another chopstick dish was added to the plate, the eldest brother couldn't help but speak out.

I glanced at my eldest brother in surprise, it was the first time I heard him speak while eating.

"Darling Mingrui, what do you want mom to do?" Mom smiled and looked at elder brother.

"Cough cough cough cough..." I'm sorry I didn't mean it...!But Ming Rui's big baby is amazing, its lethality is beyond the charts, my lord! !

Sure enough... Is it worthy to say that she is the woman who gave birth to a big brother? !

"Xiaoyuan, why are you so careless." Mom reached out and patted my back.

I took a sip of warm water to calm my breath, and while wiping away the tears that I accidentally choked up, I secretly looked at my elder brother out of the corner of my eye.

Σ(▼□▼)...

Emma, ​​little girl, come out and see God!The elder brother has an expression! !

This kind of helpless and more indulgent expression...

I silently turned my head and looked at my mother with fiery eyes. What kind of hard work did you go through to make your elder brother show such an expression...

Curious what to do QAQ!

In short, this dinner was spent very harmoniously when my mother teased my elder brother's nerves from time to time, and I silently watched and learned from the scriptures.

After the meal, I held a cup of hot tea for invigorating the spleen and eliminating food, and looked at the boy who didn't know when he appeared behind his mother in confusion.

"Xiaoyuan, this time I'm here, I brought Wan Qi with me, let him stay by your side from now on." Mom said with a smile, then nodded to the boy behind her.

The boy walked up to me step by step, then with a bright smile, he tilted his head playfully and said to me, "Master Yuan, I will always be by your side from now on, you must never leave me behind."

... What kind of divine development is this!

Why did you suddenly send me such a big man=口=? !

Uh... No, I seem to have a little impression of this boy...

Wan Qi... Wan... Wan Li!

"What's your relationship with Wan Li?" Recalling the information about my past that I read before, I looked at the boy and asked.

"Wan Li is my elder brother." The boy puffed out his chest and replied proudly.

Sure enough... I rubbed my forehead. If I remember correctly, this boy should have the same role as Wan Li. Moreover, he seems to have been by my side for many years. When my elder brother and I returned to China, I left him the family.

Seeing that my expression was wrong, Wan Qi said in a crisp voice, "Master Yuan, don't worry, my abilities are no worse than my brother's. What my brother can do, I can do the same!"

Seeing his serious look, I just smiled and nodded.

Even so, I couldn't accept the sudden appearance of such a big person.

Thinking that Wan Qi might not have seen Wan Li for some time, I simply sent him to catch up with Wan Li.Seeing how excited he was when he left, the relationship between the two brothers should be good.

The eldest brother and mother went to the study after dinner, not knowing what they were talking about.

After I grabbed Xiaoya and rubbed it for a while, seeing that the two of them hadn't come down yet, I went straight back to my room to wash up and go to bed.

After taking a shower, I sat on the edge of the bed and wiped my hair. Slowly, I lost my mind and thought about the words I said when I came here in the morning.

I always feel that I should do something, but I don't have any idea how to do it.

It's just... I don't want to embarrass Big Brother and the others again...

"What are you thinking?" The soft little hands took the towel from me and gently wiped my hair.

I froze slightly, thought for a while, then shook my head, and said to my mother, "I don't know what to do."

"It's rare to see Xiaoyuan being so honest. If it was before, even if he couldn't do it, he would definitely persevere." Mom's smiling voice sounded above her head.

"Don't be afraid, just let go and do whatever you want. If you can't do it, your elder brother and your father are still there, and my mother will also cheer for my little prince."

From the corner of my eye, I saw my mother clenched her fist and made a cheering gesture.

I couldn't help laughing out loud.

"By the way, Wan Qi...what's going on?" Suddenly, I was thrust into such an adult, and to be honest, I didn't know what to ask him to do, nor what he could do.

"Brothers from the Wan family, your father and I carefully selected them from the Wan family when you were young. They are absolutely loyal to the Lu family and have excellent abilities. They are the most suitable arms for your brothers. candidate."

"So Xiaoyuan, you can trust Wan Qi like you trust your own hands. If there is anything you want to do, just ask that child to do it."

I pushed the towel away in surprise, looked at my mother who was looking at me lovingly, and asked with some hesitation, "My elder brother is helping me with everything these days."

Compared with Wan Qi and my elder brother, I still have absolute trust in my elder brother.Although from the bottom of my heart, I really don't want to rely on my elder brother like this all the time.

"Xiaoyuan, Mingrui is the next head of the family, so it is impossible to be by your side all the time. Wan Li, as your elder brother's personal assistant, naturally cannot serve you all the time. Even in the past, when you saw your elder brother every year Not much time."

I was stunned for a moment, I thought that my eldest brother would always live with me... just like these days.

However, it seems that when I woke up in the hospital, the little girl said that my elder brother was rushing back from abroad.

Come to think of it, situations like this should not be rare in the future.

Suddenly feel a little sad.

"Don't be sad, Xiaoyuan, we love you very much, no matter where you are." Rubbing my hair, my mother hugged me into her arms.

I pushed her away with some embarrassment, I am already this big, it is really awkward to be hugged by a woman who is smaller than me, even if she is my mother.

"Okay, for the sake of my leaving soon, give mom a smile."

"Leave so soon?" I looked at her unexpectedly.

"Yeah, your dad must be very upset that he released his pigeons tonight, so mom has to go back and have breakfast with him tomorrow." Mom said with a smile, her voice full of sweet helplessness.

...It's really unexpected that the relationship is so good.

"So, have a safe trip." After opening my arms and giving my mother a hug, I said with a smile.

"Good night, my little prince." My mother kissed me on the forehead with a big smile in her eyes.
