Chapter 1051: Chapter 1037: What Nonsense Are You Talking About?!
"Here, this is for you."
Taking a toy car out from the travel bag he casually carried, Luo Yanqing handed it to Xiao Loh En. As he saw the little guy extend his hand to take it, Luo Yanqing asked, "Still crying?"
Xiao Loh En shook his head, but couldn’t stop crying; tears in his eyes were just as hard to control, making him cry both sadly and with grievance.
"Xiao Kang, come here, you and Little Luo sit here." Old Lady Li invited Kang Li and Luo Yanqing to take a seat on the sofa, saying, "I didn’t expect you to come so quickly, thank you so much!"
Having called yesterday and arriving at Hu City today, it was undoubtedly by airplane; to be honest, Old Lady Li was quite moved by this.
Because this clearly showed that Kang Li and Luo Yanqing genuinely cared about Xiao En.
Elder Loh echoed, "Yes, Little Luo, Xiao Kang, thank you both!"
"Uncle Loh, Auntie, you’re too polite. Xiao En is our son; hearing about his accident, how could Luo Yanqing and I sit still."
Patted Xiao Loh En’s cheeks, Kang Li shook his head with a smile, frankly stating that Elder Loh and Old Lady Li need not be so courteous.
Luo Yanqing said, "After receiving Auntie’s call, Xiao Li immediately started packing, hoping we could come over soon and Xiao En’s condition would improve faster."
The four of them chatted for quite a while. During this time, Xiao Loh En stopped crying but didn’t say a word, quietly sitting on Kang Li’s lap, tightly clutching Kang Li’s sleeve, occasionally glancing at Luo Yanqing, fearing that Mom and Dad might leave him again.
But perhaps the little guy hadn’t rested well lately due to fear and anxiety, and unknowingly fell into deep sleep in Kang Li’s arms.
Meanwhile, Old Lady Li took the opportunity to go to the kitchen with Kang Li to prepare lunch, while Luo Yanqing carried Xiao Loh En back to the room and placed him on the bed.
"I fear that Xiao En’s situation might not recover anytime soon."
"After all, he’s quite young, and what can your Uncle Loh and I do? These are small kids around three or four years old; how would they know their words could hurt Xiao En?"
"Xiao En’s personality is a bit sensitive, which likely has a lot to do with his previous life in the foster home. But ultimately, it’s my fault for not keeping Xiao En by my and Luo Yanqing’s side."
"Don’t say such silly things! You and Little Luo are not only great benefactors to our family but have also helped us tremendously. How could we possibly have the nerve to ask you to take a baby still in swaddling clothes home to raise?
Besides, you both have three kids to take care of and jobs to attend to. If we had made such an excessive request at the time, it would have been too shameless."
Old Lady Li said while stir-frying tomatoes and eggs.
Hearing this, Kang Li paused in silence for a moment, saying: "Luo Yanqing and I plan to stay for a couple of days to see if Xiao En’s condition improves. If there’s little progress, and both you and Uncle Loh agree, we want to bring Xiao En to live in North City for a while."
"Xiao Kang..."
Old Lady Li’s voice suddenly grew louder. Hearing her voice, Kang Li hesitated while cutting noodles, looking at Old Lady Li with confusion: "What’s wrong?"
"You... you and Little Luo genuinely want to take Xiao En to live with you?"
The gratitude in Old Lady Li’s eyes almost overflowed; her voice trembled slightly, "Last night before sleep, your Uncle Loh and I discussed thinking if Xiao En’s situation still hasn’t improved when you arrive,
we’d ask you to see if you could bring Xiao En to live with you for a while. But we hadn’t even mentioned it yet, and you’ve already thought of the worst-case scenario,
