Chapter 219
219 A Sign Of Dissatisfaction
Nangong Jue shook his head. “I’m afraid not. After all…”
“Forget it, I was just saying.” Le Yao sighed. She was not a lawyer and had nothing to do with the client. She had only made such a request on a whim just now.
“Shuo Shuo’s adoption procedures have been completed.” Nangong Jue could only change the topic. After all, he had finally come here. He did not want to leave so quickly.
Le Yao’s attention was really diverted. “Really? When can I get him?”
“Anytime.” Nangong Jue smiled. “Dean Cai said that after we left last time, Shuo Shuo woke up and cried to look for his mother. For the next few days, he had to hug your clothes every time to be quiet…”
“Tomorrow, then.” Le Yao’s heart ached for the little guy.
“Sure.” Nangong Jue nodded. “I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning. Let’s go over and sign the papers.”
“Okay, bye.” Le Yao nodded.
Nangong Jue was speechless.
“Send him off.”
Le Yao was speechless.
She rolled her eyes at him.
Nangong Jue could only touch his nose and get up to walk out dejectedly.
At this moment, Sister Mei came up to call Le Yao to eat. When she saw Nangong Jue, she asked, “Is Sir Jue leaving? Why don’t you stay and eat with us?”
“Okay.” Nangong Jue’s eyes lit up and he nodded.
Le Yao looked at Sister Mei.
Sister Mei was very innocent. She was just being polite out of habit.
“I think I’m the master here.” Le Yao looked at Nangong Jue. “I didn’t even say anything…”
“Didn’t you say that Sister Mei is family to you? Besides, she’s an elder. Since the elders have already spoken, I can’t refuse, right?” Nangong Jue smiled. “Let’s go. I haven’t tasted Sister Mei’s cooking yet.”
Sister Mei looked at Le Yao innocently.
“Have you been bribed by him too?” Le Yao asked as she passed by Sister Mei.
“No.” Sister Mei hurriedly shook her head. “Although I’m a nanny, I have my bottom line and dignity. I definitely won’t betray my master. Otherwise, I’ll die a horrible death. I’ll…”
“Alright.” Le Yao hurriedly stopped the other party from swearing. “I was just asking. I don’t blame you.”
Sister Mei heaved a sigh of relief and glared at Nangong Jue resentfully. Who knew that this person was so thick-skinned?
Nangong Jue stayed at Le Yao’s for dinner. Then, he drank tea and ate a fruit platter. In the end, he was chased away by Le Yao, who couldn’t take it anymore. Otherwise, he would probably have stayed over.
The next day, at the Angel Orphanage.
When Shuo Shuo saw Le Yao again, his eyes lit up, but they quickly dimmed. Then, he pretended not to see her and locked himself in a corner.
“Young Madam, this is a sign of his dissatisfaction,” Zheng Ruyu reminded Le Yao. “Because you left previously, he thought you abandoned him…”
“Then what should I do?”
“Go over and tell him that you went to buy him toys. Now that you’re here to pick him up, you’ll never be separated from him again…”
Le Yao went over and squatted in front of the little guy, explaining to him softly.
Although the little guy still did not approach her, he would look up at Le Yao from time to time.
“I didn’t come for few days. I was wrong. I’m sorry. Now that I’m here to pick you up, do you want to come home with me? In the future, I won’t leave my baby behind again, okay?” Le Yao reached out to the little guy.
