“Daddy and I will get you something nice to eat!”
He Yi became disconnected the moment she heard that. ‘What is going on?’
She looked up and rubbed her temples when the call was hung up before she could ask further. She looked at the time and realized that it was 12 p.m., it was indeed lunchtime.
She would have been so busy that she would forget about lunch if Bao Bao did not call her.
He Yi placed her phone down, stretched her body and gestured to Ji Xueshan.
Ji Xueshan walked over immediately and asked softly, “Sister He, do you want to pause the interview?”
He Yi nodded, she was actually satisfied with Ji Xueshan’s performance. She only listened to her orders instead of acting smart by giving her advice as to rest or drink more water as that would disrupt her work and waste her precious time.
On the other hand, Bao Bao did not think of those factors. He called her and came looking for her without even talk to her about it first.
She became embarrassed the moment she thought of his words during the call. ‘He can’t be serious!’
The interview was paused for a break from 1.30 p.m. and the interviewees who were in queue went out for lunch.
He Yi had to force herself to take this precious time off. She would never have wasted so much time for lunch if not for Bao Bao!
However, her restlessness from her previous night of insomnia and her work for the whole morning became insignificant when she thought of Bao Bao’s adorable little figure. She even felt joyful and excited to see him.
He Yi took a freshly brewed tea from Ji Xueshan as the room cleared and took a sip when someone knocked on the door.
“Come in, please.” He Yi did not even notice the warm trace of smile on eyes and lips.
The door opened and a good-looking pair walked in.
Yi Liangze had a Michelin restaurant take-out with him as he greeted politely, “Miss, your delivery’s here!”
He Yi almost spitted the tea from her mouth and coughed due to choking.
Failing to suppress her smile, Ji Xueshan patted He Yi’s back to comfort her before looking at Yi Liangze. “A delivery from Young Master Yi? That’d be expensive! Nobody can afford that!”
He Yi had to nod in agreement as Ji Xueshan’s words were exactly her thoughts. “Young Master Yi, you’re funny!”
“Aunt He, you must be hungry! Let’s eat!” said Bao Bao in his nasal voice as he ran to He Yi with his short legs.
He Yi could not help but stood up and bent over to carry the adorable boy.
The little guy was strong as a bull and it was a little difficult for He Yi to carry his weight. “Why are you looking for me all of a sudden?”
Bao Bao tilted his head and figured for a while before replying shyly, “I’ve missed you!”
He Yi’s heart turned mushy, she was uncertain as to whether she was delighted or sad to hear that. She caught Bao Bao’s tiny body in a tight embrace to fulfill her motherly instinctive needs.
She had been dying to hug Wan Wan throughout these years, she even dreamed about it, but it was destined to only be a dream! She was lucky to have Bao Bao to compensate for her regret before Wan Wan could return to her.
“Aunt He, you smell nice!” Bao Bao chuckled happily and announced to his father in a firm tone, “I like Aunt He!”
Bao Bao wanted to advise Yi Liangze to marry He Yi so that she could become Bao Bao’s mother and he would be able to request her for hugs, kisses and lift him up high every day! However, Yi Liangze had been telling him to be more subtle so that He Yi would not be overwhelmed.
Therefore, the child had to hide his pampered nature and act like a reserved gentleman to express his wishes to his father in a subtler manner.
“You have many opportunities to be with Aunt He if I’m not mistaken!” Yi Liangze was talking to Bao Bao but he threw a glance at He Yi.
He Yi was looking at him at the same time so their eyes locked. He noticed her dark circles that she failed to cover with makeup as she noticed his bloodshot eyes.
It seemed like He Yi was not the only person with insomnia. He was the same!
Her heart thumped as her body stiffened slightly.
“Sister He, are you having your food here?” asked Ji Xueshan courteously.
He Yi turned to see Ji Xueshan who took the lunchbox from Yi Liangze. She was clearing the table surface and arranging the cutleries.
Yi Liangze took off his coat and sat down casually as if he was the host there. “We’ll eat here!”
He Yi was speechless. He made a unilateral decision before she could say anything!
Ji Xueshan arranged the cutleries and whispered to He Yi silently before she left, “Take your time to eat, stop thinking about work. Having Young Master Yi is far more rewarding than the leather factory!” She winked at her playfully and walked off.
He Yi rolled her eyes and disregarded her words. She never expected to have Yi Liangze on her side and she never thought him to be more important than her work.
The interview had to start at 1.30 p.m. as fixed.
He Yi took Bao Bao onto her lap and fed him food lovingly. She did not have any chance to take care of a child ever since she gave birth to Wan Wan and she turned a month old. Bao Bao’s presence could finally fulfill the motherly love that she had been keeping internally for years without anyone to express to!
“Aunt He, I want that!” Bao Bao was extremely adorable. Realizing that He Yi was pampering him, he expressed his clinginess on her even more as he acted like a spoiled child. “Aunt He, I want some orange juice!”
He Yi was extremely happy and willing to oblige with the child’s commands.
Yi Liangze who was totally neglected at the side stared at Bao Bao in He Yi’s warm embrace with jealousy and coughed lightly to remind them of his presence. “Bao Bao, you already learned how to eat by yourself!”
Bao Bao’s huge eyes swirled as he understood his father’s meaning instantly. ‘Son, you’re taking all the spotlight!’
He Yi watched as Bao Bao took his small bowl to a side and started eating there obediently and exclaimed hurriedly, “It’s fine! Me feeding Bao Bao wouldn’t take up much time.”
Yi Liangze put on a serious expression and said, “Kids need to have self-discipline since young, this is a tradition for all the men in the Yi family!”
He Yi could not insist since he mentioned his family tradition. Then, she proceeded to eat her food.
Yi Liangze placed a chicken wing into He Yi’s plate and stared at her gorgeous side profile as he said, “You should eat more, you’re too skinny!”
He Yi did not notice since when did he get so close to her. His breath was almost tickling her cheek as he talked, making her heart flutter.
She was unsure why but his breath kept reminding her of the terrifying scene six years ago, she lost her appetite as she got anxious and panicky.
“Take your time to eat, don’t rush. I’ll help you out!” comforted him casually.
He Yi did not understand what he meant by helping her out but she realized he and Bao Bao’s visit was just in time for her to take a short break, not to mention she got to enjoy a scrumptious meal from a Michelin restaurant.
She took a bowl of each of the nourishing duck porridge and the revitalizing sea cucumber porridge. Besides, there were freshly made steamed prawn dumplings and glutinous rice meatballs with green broccoli, and fresh Ruccola as garnishes. They looked appetizing and nutritious at the same time.
The three of them enjoyed their meals together in silence, only the rattling of dishes and cutlery were heard. They were harmonious like a family of three.
