Chapter 1244: Chapter 1244: Aloof Competition for Favor (2)

Seeing the longing look in Little Pudding’s eyes, President Jiao could only lie against his conscience: “Your mom stepped out for a bit, she’ll be back in a moment. Little Pudding, what do you want to eat, Uncle will buy it for you.”

“Thank you, Uncle, but I just want my mom and dad.” Little Pudding began searching for someone in the office.

After looking around and not finding Su Hongxing, her eyes reddened and she started wiping away tears.

Seeing Little Pudding sad and troubled, President Jiao was so anxious he immediately got Xiaomei to come over and soothe the child…

As Su Hongxing ate her meal, she was absent-minded, constantly thinking of Little Pudding. The little guy suddenly not seeing her and Ding Ye must be causing a lot of worry.

“I’m almost done, I want to go back first,” she said, putting down her utensils.

Her words made Ding Ye fix his gaze: “I haven’t finished yet, stay with me!”

Su Hongxing was really concerned about the two kids and wanted to refuse, but seeing the look in Ding Ye’s eyes, her refusal wouldn’t come out, and after hesitating for a moment, she said: “Then eat quickly, we need to get back as soon as possible.”

Little Pudding was feeling the most insecure, seeing that both she and Ding Ye had disappeared, she must be all mixed up in her thoughts.

Ding Ye, seeing Su Hongxing’s distracted manner, let out a light sigh: “You need to have your own life, focusing all your thoughts on the children isn’t good. Forget it, let’s not eat anymore, let’s go back.”

“You eat a bit more, you still have to work in the afternoon, without enough food you won’t have the energy. Look, I’ll eat with you a bit more.” Su Hongxing was a woman of action, she continued eating.

Fifteen minutes later, the two left the restaurant, and Su Hongxing was still talking about Little Pudding: “Next time we go out, we should tell Little Pudding beforehand, otherwise she’ll get all worked up.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you,” Ding Ye had no objections. He had originally wanted to have a meal alone with her, to temporarily get away from the two ‘little burdens.’ But she, she was absorbed with thoughts of Little Pudding.

“Next time we’ll pick a better time for a date, today was too rushed,” Su Hongxing said, reaching out to hold his hand.

It was a rare opportunity to be alone with him, yet she couldn’t let go of the kids, so naturally, this lunch wasn’t enjoyable for him either.

“As long as you’ve decided, that’s fine.” Ding Ye held her hand back and suddenly asked: “You won’t change your heart in the future, will you?”

Su Hongxing couldn’t help but laugh and cry: “Change what heart?”

This man’s questions were too funny.

It should be her who worried about this possibility, after all, he was a highly eligible bachelor, with plenty of women eyeing him.

“So you’re saying, you won’t change your heart, right?” Ding Ye looked at Su Hongxing with a serious face.

“Of course not, do I even need to answer that? Do I look like the kind of woman who is fickle in love?” Su Hongxing replied with a chuckle.

“No matter what happens in the future, you’ve got to remember what you said today.” Ding Ye gripped Su Hongxing’s hand tightly, a bit too forcefully, causing her hand to ache.

But Su Hongxing ignored the pain in her palm, her face was flushed, and her heart was beating fast. Her resistance was really poor lately; just a bit of closeness to Ding Ye, and she’d turn into a little woman.

The fact was, Su Hongxing’s concerns weren’t unwarranted; as soon as she reached the door, she heard Little Pudding crying bitterly, saying her mom and dad didn’t want her.

She rushed into the company, and Little Pudding was standing stiffly crying. The moment she saw Su Hongxing, she ran over quickly and threw herself into her arms: “Mommy…”

“Look what yummy things Mommy bought for you? You child, why are you crying again?” Su Hongxing tenderly wiped away Little Pudding’s tears.
