Chapter 745: I Miss Mommy So Much

“I miss Mommy so much, I want to find her…”

Tuantuan spoke haltingly, her feet dangling in the air, her tiptoes tapping away in the air, “Daddy was afraid of disturbing Mommy, so he wanted to finish up the work here early and that’s how the bad guys found us.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s heart stirred, and something inside her collapsed into a mess.

She didn’t reject Tuantuan’s use of “Mommy” because when the little girl was one year old, she did indeed call her Mommy.

If it hadn’t been for Yeh Hannian intervening, she might have gone against her mission and taken Tuantuan in.

As someone not good at comforting others, Nan Jiaojiao had held Tuantuan on those nights when the child repeatedly had nightmares, singing all the nursery rhymes she knew to her.

“Do you often live like this with your Daddy?”

“Hmm?” Tuantuan thought for a moment, “No, when we were in Mingzhou, Tuantuan only needed a driver to go to school every day.”

She only saw one driver, but who knew how many people were arranged in secret to protect her.

Nan Jiaojiao raised her hand to cover Tuantuan’s head and rubbed it, “Are you hungry?”

Tuantuan looked up at her with sparkling eyes and nodded with delight, “Yes!”

“I’ll see what we have in the fridge.

I can’t cook, so just something simple?”

As soon as Nan Jiaojiao stood up, she had only taken a few steps when Tuantuan jumped down from the sofa and followed her.

No matter what she did, Tuantuan followed her.

She was neither noisy nor fussy, and didn’t cling.

She went out for a while and somehow found a pair of rabbit dolls, then dragged a small stool over and sat in the kitchen playing.

There were indeed vegetables and fruits in the fridge.

Nan Jiaojiao washed some strawberries.

With her limited culinary skills, even with ingredients, she couldn’t cook much.

Fortunately, she knew how to make tomato and egg soup, which she watered down and cooked with two bowls of noodles.

A big and a small sat at the dining table, finishing their meal in silence.

When Nan Jiaojiao finished washing the dishes and came out, she couldn’t find Tuantuan.

She panicked, thinking someone had silently broken in and taken the little girl right from under her nose.

Fortunately, she found Tuantuan in the master bedroom’s bathroom in the end.

She was trying to fill the bath, her tiny body leaning over the edge of the tub, stretching to test the water temperature.

Her sleeves and pant legs were all wet.

Seeing Nan Jiaojiao come in, Tuantuan immediately stripped off her clothes and sat in the bathtub.

Her little eyes darted towards Nan Jiaojiao and then quickly shifted away, apologetically as if she feared she hadn’t done well, “Mommy, Tuantuan wanted to bathe, I didn’t want to tire Mommy out.

I can wash my clothes, I know how to use the washing machine.”

Nan Jiaojiao stared at her for a while, let out a sigh, rolled up her sleeves and went over, adjusting the temperature of the water to a suitable level, took a towel, soaked it, and started to wipe her down.

“Don’t be afraid of bothering me, you’re not a bother to me.”

How could a three-year-old tot bathe herself?

How could Yeh Hannian, that doting father, bear it?

Tuantuan should have always had someone looking after her.

Probably Yeh Xiao had not expected that by taking Tuantuan to the hospital, he inadvertently drew the enemy to them.

Tuantuan’s eyes shone as she looked at Nan Jiaojiao, and the smile never left her tiny face.

Nan Jiaojiao carried her out, found a set of pajamas for her to change into, and without much coaxing, tucked in the bed covers and left the room.

As she busied herself until late at night, and once she was finally alone, Nan Jiaojiao found herself thinking of Bo Yanching, missing him terribly.

She took out her phone, intending to call Bo Yanching but discovered there was no signal, no matter what she tried.

It was impossible for there to be no signal in an apartment building, so the only explanation was that Yeh Xiao had already blocked the signal in advance.

Nan Jiaojiao looked back at the slightly ajar door of the master bedroom, bit her lip, and managed to suppress the urge for the time being.
