Chapter 56

Jin Lan didn’t hear me; he was busy chatting with Tuotuo.

Once the wontons were served.

Jin Lan hadn’t planned on eating.

It was only after Tuotuo and I strongly insisted that he picked up his chopsticks.

After finishing the wontons, Tuotuo started to yawn.

Jin Lan’s phone kept ringing—it was Li Qiu.

I said: “It’s getting late, you should just take Tuotuo home.

“If Li Qiu is looking for you, tell her to meet you at home.

“Don’t leave Tuotuo alone at home; he’s afraid of the dark and will look for someone when he wakes up.”

Jin Lan looked at me as if he had a lot of questions.

“You’re not coming back with us?”

I smiled: “Yeah.

“After all, it’s not my home, is it?”

He opened his mouth, but didn’t say anything.

Tuotuo was lying in the backseat. I leaned over and gave him a gentle, careful kiss on the forehead.

“From now on, there will be a dad to love you in my place.”

Tuotuo’s eyelids fluttered, and he turned over to face the inside.

As I closed the car door.

I heard Tuotuo let out a soft, stifled sob that he couldn’t hold back.
