Andu City
Right in the middle of the sweltering summer season, the scorching sun was burning zealously. It felt as if the radiant sphere was running a sauna session on Andu City.
Mo ChuYi parked her electric scooter on the side of the road. Under the sunlight, her delicate facial features appeared even more compelling. Although she didn't have any makeup on, her skin was as fine and smooth as jade and her blush rendered in a splendid manner that could only be marveled at. Her bright pupils were pure and clear. Her lively eyes fixated on the red light before her, she was silently counting in rhythm with the numbers changing on the signal.
Just then, the caretaker who she had hired to look after her grandmother in the hospital dialed her up. She was informed that her grandmother hadn't eaten or drank anything for two whole days, seemingly being stubborn. She was asked to come, as a result, she hastily asked for a leave and left her house.
She took a quick look at her wristwatch, it was 10:11. Anxiety surged within her. This Deepwave Avenue had a lot of traffic lights and was a frequent accident area, so traffic jams were a common affair. Once again, she looked at the numbers on the red light; she turned her scooter and drove towards the small, shady pathway on the side; preparing to take a shortcut.
"Ah…" A painful exclamation echoed in her ear. Mo ChuYi's eyes widened in disbelief. As she turned around, she caught sight of a small figure rushing out from her peripheral vision. It was too late to brake and she ran into the little boy.
Mo ChuYi cursed internally, hastily dismounting the scooter and rushed over. She flopped next to the little boy, picking him up, "Are you okay?"
The small person in her arms raised his head and smiled at her, from the depth of his eyes a hint of mischievousness emerged, "I'm fine, don't worry too much, Mommy."
Mo ChuYi frowned, Mommy? She surveyed her surroundings, it seemed like the little boy was the only one who had rushed out just now. There were no adults following him. The boy seemed to be around five or six years old, his high-end clothes reflecting his well-off background. His exquisite features were breathtaking, and his elegant and distinguished aura emanated from his body. The little boy looked at her with his bright eyes filled with laughter. Mo ChuYi was a little taken aback, such a cutie, he was destined to charm everyone when he grew up.
The little boy blinked, his eyes concealed a beam of laughter, "Mommy, do you think I'm handsome?"
Mo ChuYi came back to her senses and coughed lightly, "Are you really okay? Where are your parents?"
The little boy shook his head and stood up, "I came out alone to find you, Mommy." Saying this, he blinked his eyes again. The naughty glimmer in his eyes disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced by an innocent look.
Mo ChuYi frowned and bent down slightly, placing both of her hands on the little boy's shoulders, she said softly, "I'm not your mommy, I'm sorry that I bumped into you because I was in a hurry. You came out alone, do your parents know that? Do you remember your family's phone number? I can help you contact them to pick you up and take you home."
Father's phone number? I know that like the back of my hand...
The little boy tightened his grip on the backpack in his arms. He was glad that he had turned off his mobile phone beforehand. He looked at Mo ChuYi with an innocent expression on his face and shook his head, saying, "I don't remember my father's number, I came to find my mommy..." What a joke, if his daddy finds out about this, the consequences would be serious, wouldn't they?
Seeing his innocent and helpless face, Mo ChuYi felt a softness in her heart, unintentionally lowering her voice, "What about your mom? Do you not know her contact number?"
Xiao Naibao bit his lip and looked up at Mo ChuYi, his face still innocent. His eyes were damp, and he remained silent for a long time.
Mo ChuYi sighed, guessing that he was probably a child from a single-parent family, often reported on TV. The growth of a child cannot be separated from the love of both parents. This was probably due to the lack of maternal love.
"I will take you to the police station and let them help you go home, okay? Your dad is definitely worried about you running out like this. He may be anxiously looking for you at this moment."
Yes, he was probably frantically looking for him. Once he was found, confining him to Uncle Tao's place would be a total nightmare! That's why he threw away the location tracking chip, specially made by Uncle Lin and placed in his cellphone... But if he goes to the police station, wouldn't his dad find him immediately?
Seeing her insistence on taking him to the police station, Xiao Naibao's eyes sparkled with cunning. Pouting slightly, he weakly said, "……Mommy, I'm hungry."
Mo ChuYi: "……"
………Dividing Line………
At the restaurant near her workplace, Mo ChuYi watched Xiao Naibao, who was eating hurriedly but still couldn't hide his elegant temperament. "Eat slower, I will order more if it isn't enough."
Initially, she wanted to take him to the police station but seeing his pitifully hungry appearance, she felt empathetic and hurriedly took him to a nearby restaurant for food.
"Do you call everyone you meet on the street Mommy?" She asked softly. Somehow, looking at Xiao Naibao in front of her, she couldn't help feeling a softness in her chest, a feeling called motherly love involuntarily surfaced.
At her words, Xiao Naibao couldn't help but choke, muttering to himself secretly, "Mommy, you are really unparalleled, okay?"
