Shocking! A three-year-old brings his aloof mother to their door.

After a cozy breakfast, the family of three set off to pick up He Wanning.

The car needs to be driven back, and He Wanning is the best candidate.

After He Wanning got into the car, He Wanqing got straight to the point: "The company will be in your hands for the next two days after the holiday ends."

"Me?" He Wanning pointed to her nose, her eyes wide.

"Sis, you're kidding, aren't you? I'm not your employee, and besides, I studied law; I don't understand your business operations!"

"It's alright, I'll handle major decisions remotely." He Wanqing had already made arrangements.

"For some documents that require my personal signature, you can sign them on my behalf."

I've already had HR process your onboarding. Your position is Group Vice President, temporarily authorized.

"Vice President?!" He Wanning's eyes lit up instantly, as if she could see the joyful life of wielding power and influence.

"Don't overthink it," He Wanqing ruthlessly shattered her illusions, "It's temporary, unpaid, purely voluntary work."

He Wanning's face instantly fell:

"...Those wicked capitalists! Exploiting their own sister!"

Then, her eyes darted around and she said, "I still have work to do. Go find Mom!"

He Wanqing gave her a cold glance: "Is someone looking for you?"

He Wanning: "......." The incident from last time has already gone viral online and generated considerable buzz, and now everyone avoids her like the plague... She hasn't taken a second job since...

Sitting in her child safety seat, Tongtong stretched her little neck and added in her childish voice:

"Auntie~ Tuantuan is still at home, remember to feed it and play with it too~"

He Wanning reached out and poked her plump little belly, saying in an annoyed tone:

"I know, you three go out and have a good time, leaving your aunt here to be a slave and take care of your cat!"

Tongtong felt ticklish from the poke, shrank her neck, revealed two rows of tiny teeth, and chuckled, looking like a clever little girl who thought, "You guessed right, but I won't admit it."

After dropping He Wanning off at her destination and saying goodbye, the family of three arrived at the airport.

After waiting briefly in the departure lounge, I boarded the plane.

This was Tongtong's first time on an airplane.

As soon as they entered the cabin, the little guy was attracted by the novel environment. His big eyes looked around, and he excitedly twisted and turned in the spacious seat, chattering away with questions.

"Daddy! Are we going to fly? Like little birds?" She clung to the porthole, watching the busy ground crew outside.

"Yes, we'll be flying up in a bit, and then we'll be above the clouds."

Mo Ye helped her fasten her seatbelt, then sat down himself, enjoying the comfort of the first-class seat, and thought to himself: There's a reason why it's expensive.

He used to prefer high-speed rail or regular trains when traveling, not because of the cost, but because he enjoyed the changing scenery along the way.

Tranquil lakes, deep caves, rolling green hills, and boundless forests—it's a sense of time slowly flowing that can only be truly felt on the ground.

The plane began to taxi, accelerate, and pitch up, giving a slight feeling of being pushed back in the seat.

Tongtong gripped her father's hand nervously and excitedly until the plane steadily climbed to the top.

Outside the window, the buildings and roads on the ground rapidly shrank, turning into toy-like models, before being replaced by fluffy, white clouds like cotton wool.

"Wow—!" Tongtong exclaimed, her mouth agape. "Daddy! It's Yunyun! White Yunyun! Are we in the sky? Flying in the sky!"

"Yes, we're in the sky." Mo Ye put his arm around his daughter and looked out the window with her at the pure, boundless blue and white expanse.

He Wanqing also turned her head slightly, looking at the sea of ​​clouds rushing past the window, and then at her enthusiastic daughter and gentle-looking husband beside her. The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

......

After getting off the plane and collecting her luggage, He Wanqing took out her phone to check her messages. The screen lit up the moment she did.

She paused for a moment, then gently nudged Mo Ye beside her with her elbow, lowering her voice with a hint of reproach:

"When did you add me to that 'We're a Loving Family' group? You didn't even tell me beforehand."

Mo Ye then remembered this and scratched his head sheepishly.

"Ah... I accidentally deleted it when I sent Tongtong's photos this morning, I forgot to tell you." It was indeed his oversight.

He Wanqing opened the group chat and found several unread messages, all from her parents-in-law welcoming her and inquiring about her itinerary, their tone warm and friendly.

She quickly replied to each message, explaining that her phone had been turned off on the plane and she hadn't seen the messages in time, her tone polite and apologetic.

Soon, Jiang Hui replied, expressing her complete understanding, and then explained:

The car had a minor problem this morning, causing a slight delay. It will take about ten more minutes to reach the airport. Please wait a moment.

He Wanqing replied with a well-behaved nodding emoji, then breathed a sigh of relief. She then quietly reached out and pinched Mo Ye's soft side flesh lightly.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Mo Ye hissed in pain and quickly leaned close to her ear, whispering begging for mercy, "My dear wife, please forgive me! Next time, I'll definitely ask first!"

Tongtong, carrying her bear backpack, looked around expectantly, her big eyes filled with anticipation, and stood on tiptoe, searching for her grandparents' familiar figures in the crowd waiting to pick her up at the airport.

Mo Ye was also a little surprised. According to his parents' usual habits, especially knowing that Tongtong was coming, they should have been waiting at the exit long ago.

His gaze habitually swept across the parking lot, searching for that familiar tricycle that might be carrying his family's tea baskets.

"My aunt and uncle sent a message saying there's a minor problem with the car, and they'll be there in about ten minutes," He Wanqing whispered to the father and daughter.

Mo Ye and Tong Tong both said "Oh" at the same time, indicating that they understood.

A fleeting look of disappointment crossed Tongtong's face, but it was quickly replaced by curiosity as she continued to observe the people and cars coming and going around her.

While waiting, He Wanqing had another worry on her mind. She gently tugged at Mo Ye's sleeve, her voice lower, carrying a hint of barely perceptible unease:

"Do you think... your aunt and uncle will mind if Tongtong takes my surname 'He'?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Ye pondered for a moment, then grasped her hand tightly and comforted her with a resolute tone:

"Don't worry. I know my parents; they're not the kind of old-fashioned people who stick to formalities."

Tongtong is their granddaughter, and that will never change.

They like Tongtong as a person, and it has little to do with her surname.

Of course, if you're still worried, I'll find a suitable opportunity to ask them what they think later.

Hearing him say that, He Wanqing felt much more at ease and nodded, "Mm."

Just then, a car, entirely black with sleek and elegant lines, appeared.

The Maybach S680, gleaming with understated luxury in the sunlight, slowly drove into the arrivals area and came to a smooth stop near them...

P.S.: I forgot to set the timer, so these two chapters will be tomorrow's. ┭┮﹏┭┮
