Ein erwachsener Sohn kann nicht lange behalten werden

Whether he missed him or not, that was the question...

He was standing before Aunty Xiao Xi, so he should just speak the truth...

When she saw that the little bun was about to give an answer that would likely shatter Lu Tingxiao's heart even further, Ning Xi intervened quickly to prevent a heartbreak, "Ahem, Little Treasure, your dad works incredibly hard every day to provide for the family. How about you go and give your dad a hug, okay?"

The little bun nodded obediently and waddled over to Lu Tingxiao. He looked up, arms outstretched, a silent plea for an embrace.

Lu Tingxiao's heart melted at the sight, laughter bubbling from him as he squatted down, scooped up his son, and gave him a gentle pat on the head, "Good boy."

For three whole seconds, the son bore the hug gracefully, keeping his end of the deal.

On the fourth second, predictably, he twisted around to look for Ning Xi, arms reaching out once more, this time seeking her embrace.
