Before long, Lu Jinyang emerged from the kitchen, holding a bowl in his hand.
He walked over, handed it to her, "Drink this."
"Is this... brown sugar water?"
"Mhm."
"..." In an instant, her heart was tumultuously stirred, utterly moved by his gesture.
"Thank you," she said. Then she cradled the sizable bowl, sipping quietly.
After breakfast, Lu Jinyang refused to let her wash the dishes, but she insisted on doing so. Eventually, unable to dissuade her, he went to tidy up clothes with the kids.
When Xiao Qing finished washing the dishes, she was somewhat surprised to see the kids' suitcases, "Are you taking them to stay over there?"
"Mhm, let them spend more time with their grandparents before the school starts."
His reasoning made sense, so Xiao Qing didn't say much, taking the kids down to the parking lot.
