Bringing the Nation's Husband Home - Chapter 891

Chapter 891

"Are you busy later?" Lu Jinnian asked . There were hushed voices at the back as though he was in a meeting .

Xu Jiamu shook his head lightly, clearing his mind . When he finally calmed down, he replied, "No, what's up?"

"If you're not busy, help me get Little Rice Cake . I have a client right now and Qiao family just called saying that Father Qiao isn't well so Qiao Qiao went over . " While Lu Jinnian explained the situation, he continued to instruct his employees . "This idea won't work, redo it . "

"Is there any problem?"

Xu Jiamu replied, "No . "

After hanging up, he glanced at the time; he was already late . Hurriedly, he started his car and drove off .

The traffic was bad, by the time Xu Jiamu reached the kindergarten, only the principal and a teacher was left to look after Little Rice Cake and a pretty little girl .

Xu Jiamu had come to fetch Little Rice Cake several times so the principal recognized him . When he saw him walking in, he called out to the boy, "Little Rice Cake, your uncle is here to get you . "

The boy lifted his head, greeting in his childlike voice, "Uncle . "

He then continued to sit on the mat, playing with the little girl with braids with no intention of leaving .

Xu Jiamu indulged Little Rice Cake, so he didn't get angry . Walking towards the kid's bag, he stuffed his things inside before walking over to him . Kneeling down, he called out to Little Rice Cake, who was playing with sand, "Hey, let's go home . "

Little Rice Cake grabbed a handful of sand, turned to Little Red Bean before, then back to Xu Jiamu . In a calm voice, he asked, "Uncle, can we leave after a while?"

Xu Jiamu glanced at Little Rice Cake, waiting patiently for the reason .

"Uncle, Little Red Bean's mommy isn't here yet . If I go, she'll be the only one left in the kindergarten . Can we wait for her mommy to come before we leave?"

Little Red Bean… That was a special name . . . It automatically reminded him of a poem called "Xiangsi": Beautiful Red berries grow in the South / When spring comes, I don't know how many branches there will be / But I hope you can gather more for these're a symbol of love .

Maybe due to her name, Xu Jiamu took more notice of Little Red Bean . The little girl looked almost the same age as Little Rice Cake, with a round face and pale skin . From a single look, he was attracted .

When the principal saw Xu Jiamu's silence, he couldn't help adding, "Little Red Bean's mother could be busy . I tried to call her but she isn't picking up . Little Rice Cake and Little Red Bean have a close relationship so he wanted to accompany her . "

Xu Jiamu came back to his senses . His gaze continued to focus on Little Red Bean for a while longer before he turned to nod at the principal .  "Is it okay if I wait a little longer?"

"It's okay . " The principal smiled .  

"If you're busy, you can go ahead, I'll look after them . " 

The principal smiled, then after staying for a while more, he left .

The two little kids played harmoniously, putting Xu Jiamu at ease .

Time trickled by . Even when sunset came, Little Red Bean's mother still didn't arrive .
