Chapter 2513 - 2528: Since I Bumped Into You, I Have to Take Responsibility for You (Part 3)

Because he wasn’t tall enough, he had to move a small stool to assist when placing the dishes.

"Did you just move here?" Bai Jingqing glanced around the room.

"Uncle, how do you know?" Bai Xiaobai looked up at him.

"The medicine box is empty, and the luggage hasn’t been unpacked."

"Uncle, you’re amazing!" Bai Xiaobai looked at him with admiration.

Bai Jingqing, "..."

"Where’s your mommy? When will she come back?" Bai Jingqing was eager to meet Bai Xiaobai’s mommy; he wanted to have a talk with this woman.

"Mommy said she’ll only be back this evening." Bai Xiaobai answered honestly.

"What are you going to eat for lunch?" Bai Jingqing looked at him incredulously.

"Mommy said I can cook myself or order takeout. Mommy also said it’s best to cook myself because ordering takeout might lead to encountering bad people."

Bai Jingqing, "..."

"Stop cooking, don’t order takeout, Uncle will take you out for some good food." Bai Jingqing was very upset, towards Bai Xiaobai’s mommy.

Bai Xiaobai’s eyes lit up, but then they dimmed again. He stood there hesitantly; he really wanted to go out for delicious food with Uncle Bai but was worried mommy would be angry if she found out.

"What’s wrong? It’s okay, I’ll bring you back after we eat. If we run into your mommy, I’ll explain for you. If you return and your mommy hasn’t come back, just don’t tell her." Bai Jingqing crouched down and patted his head.

Bai Xiaobai thought for a moment, then nodded vigorously, rushing over to hug Bai Jingqing, feeling an inexplicable liking and trust for him.

Bai Jingqing picked him up and left the apartment. In the elevator, he felt his earlier behavior was a bit inappropriate, so he added, "Xiao Bai, listen to me, Uncle isn’t a bad person. So I’m taking you out to eat, you can follow me... but if anyone else wants to take you, you definitely shouldn’t go, you understand? Not anyone."

"Uncle, I understand, mommy has told me." Bai Xiaobai nodded seriously.

Bai Jingqing ruffled his adorable mushroom-shaped head, feeling relieved.

...

Gu Qingxin had just finished cooking for Baobei when she heard the doorbell. She went to the door, and when she saw the smiling girl standing there, her expression froze for a second.

"Qianqian!" In that instant, Gu Qingxin thought she was dreaming.

"Qingxin, it’s me." Bai Qianqian smiled radiantly.

Gu Qingxin snapped back to reality when she heard her speak, stepped forward, and hugged her tightly. Bai Qianqian hugged her back, her lips curving into a reassuring smile.

"Bai Qianqian, you little rascal, where have you been? Do you know how worried I was about you!" Gu Qingxin’s tears fell.

Back then, it was Rong Qianchen who sent Bai Qianqian away. But in less than half a year, Bai Qianqian disappeared, and Rong Qianchen didn’t know where she went.

Rong Qianchen didn’t dare tell her at the time. It was only later when Gu Qingxin’s emotions stabilized after giving birth to Baobei that, when she asked Rong Qianchen, he dared tell her the truth.

"It’s a long story, I’ll tell you everything later. Let’s go inside first, okay?" Bai Qianqian said softly.

Only then did Gu Qingxin remember they were still standing at the door. She quickly let go of Bai Qianqian and pulled her into the apartment.

"Mommy, who’s this pretty auntie?" Baobei blinked curiously at Bai Qianqian.
