Zhuo Lino interrupted the conversation between mother and son with a timely voice.
He paced forward and bent down to pick up Fanfan, who was pinching his ears and admitting his mistake.
“Don’t forget, I was the first to find out that you had sneaked out and helped you hide it, or you would have been caught before you left the airport.”
“Thank you Zhuouncle.”
Fanfan thanked him knowingly.
Zhuo Lino was satisfied.
He stroked his head and whispered something in his ear before instructing those around him to take Fanfan upstairs to rest first.
In the living room, he and Qiao Yuanfei were soon the only ones left.
“I should also say sorry, it was my failure to take care of Fanfan that caused him to get lost, it’s just that the situation was rather complicated, when I found out that Fanfan was missing, Yu Yuehan had already approached me and confessed to me that he had taken Fanfan and had already allowed him to board a flight back to China.”
Zhuo Linye walked up to Qiao Yuanfei and explained with apologies.
Qiao Yuan Fei shook her head, “I am already grateful that you are willing to help me take care of Fanfan, and it is my responsibility that Fanfan will return to China, after all, because he has not seen me for too long.”
Zhuo Linye smiled, not saying a word to her polite statement.
He did not like the way she divided everything with him, as if he would always be an outsider in her world.
They had known each other for many years and Zhuo Lino had seen her reject too many men.
So many that he was reassured.
Any man who came before her, she didn’t seem to hesitate.
Whether it was a man of excellent ability, or a family man, or a handsome looking …… man she didn’t want them all.
She didn’t even consider it.
The first time, Zhuo Lino did not suspect that she already had someone she liked.
Otherwise it would not have been so heartfelt.
But after all these years, no one had ever appeared around her, and her life was only filled with work and Van ……
This made him certain that as long as he stayed by their mother and son’s side, sooner or later, she would fall in love with him.
Until he learned of Fan Yu’s existence from Yu Yuehan’s mouth ……
“I apologize for more than that.”
Zhuo Lino’s deep gaze was dense with a light colour that one could not see through.
Faintly, he opened his lips.
“I’m sorry for impersonating Fanfan’s father just now to make it easier to pick up Fanfan.”
“No, it’s okay …… you did it to help me too.”
Qiao Yuanfei knew he meant well, even though she was shocked at the time, but now that she heard that he had helped herself and apologized sincerely, she could not say anything to countenance him instead.
She would take Fanfan away after she finished dealing with the Qiao family’s affairs.
It didn’t matter whose son Fanfan was.
Rather, it was even Zhuo Linye, a man who didn’t even have a girlfriend, who had a son out of thin air in order to help her.
It is she who should apologise.
“Thank you for helping me pick up Van Fan, I’ll treat you to dinner some day when I have time.”
Qiao Yuan Fei’s heart was in turmoil, and after chatting with Zhuo Lin Ye, she subconsciously wanted to go upstairs to pick Fanfan up and leave.
She had long had the intention of picking Fanfan up and returning to China, and had also arranged a place for Fanfan to stay.
Not living in the Qiao family, but very close to it.
There was a nanny to look after her and it was also convenient for her to go over and keep her company.
So there was no intention of bothering Zhuo Lino again.
She had just taken a step when Zhuo Lino suddenly reached out and stopped her in her tracks.
The expression on his rigid face turned a little gloomy.
“Fay, do you have to be so clearly separated from me?”
Zhuo Lino turned to look at her.
“We’ve known each other for so many years, I thought you should understand how I feel about you, and if I didn’t express myself clearly enough before, then I want to tell you clearly now that I like you.”
