Chapter 318 - 296: Is Little Uncle Really Not Coming Back This Year?
Mom sighed lightly, not knowing what to say to comfort the child.Dudu’s dependence on Su Bao is not a new thing. She also hopes the child can be with someone she likes, but if the process is so painful, she doesn’t want the child to be too persistent.
Being loved is far more fortunate than loving someone.
Reluctantly, Dudu changed her clothes and went to the Qiao’s with her family.
Although it’s not her first visit, the same awkwardness ensues, especially when she has to call Qiao Luchen’s parents mom and dad; she just can’t bring herself to do it.
Fortunately, his parents are very understanding and constantly speak up for her, helping her to slowly adapt.
Qiao Luchen only returned at noon. With elders present, he behaved politely and sensibly, sometimes making Dudu suspect he might have a split personality.
"Dudu hasn’t graduated yet, right?"
Suddenly being questioned, Dudu was stunned for a moment, then hazily nodded, "Hmm..."
Mom answered for her, "She will start her internship next year."
"That’s soon, we’ll be grandparents before long."
Upon hearing this, Dudu buried her head in her meal, not wanting to face those questions now. She even started to regret it— even if she couldn’t marry Shen Yiran, she shouldn’t have blindly committed her whole life. Living alone might be better than now.
After dinner, Qiao Luchen had to go to work, and Dudu used an excuse to ride in his car.
As soon as the car turned the corner, Dudu said, "Let me out here."
Qiao Luchen didn’t stop her, parked the car by the roadside as she requested. As soon as she closed the door, he drove away.
The temperature difference between inside and outside the car was significant. As he drove, a gust of wind accompanied him, making Dudu shiver and instinctively wrap herself tighter.
Thinking of the homework the teacher assigned, requiring the installation of some software, she didn’t pay attention during class, assuming Su Bao would surely understand, and she could ask him later. But she didn’t expect things to change so quickly; now they can’t even talk, and if they meet, they just pass by as strangers.
Walking alone to the computer city, it seemed many people from school came to inquire about the software. After Dudu roughly described it, the staff understood. But there were many types of software, and she suddenly felt like she wasn’t a computer science major, completely unable to understand the shopkeeper’s explanations.
If only he were here, he would certainly pick the most suitable one for her...
After hesitating for a long time, she decided that the most expensive one must be the best.
Wandering around, the computer city was filled with advertisements for software developed by his company, and traces of him could be seen everywhere.
Her mind was about to explode with irritation, so she went to the cinema and watched movies alone all afternoon.
In the evening, she received a call from An’an, arranging to have dinner with Xiaoxiao and Miaomiao.
A gathering of women naturally became lively, full of complaints, gripes, and domestic chatter, constantly chattering away.
"Sis, the day after tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. Little Uncle really isn’t coming back this year?"
Mentioning Su Yan, Shen Yi An’s expression darkened, but she pretended not to care and said, "Who knows about him."
"You haven’t been in touch all this time?"
"There’s nothing to contact about."
Actually, she had been waiting for his call. But each day she picked up her phone, she ended up disappointed.
Though before, he wasn’t very proactive in calling her, he wouldn’t go more than a week without calling, even if just to ask how she was doing.
