Cui Cui felt a little awkward and turned her head away, not looking at her father.
But…
Mommy had agreed to participate in the variety show with them.
Thinking about the variety show, a smile tugged at Cui Cui’s lips.
That variety show was very popular in the interstellar era, focusing on the daily lives of families of three, filled with love.
She used to watch this show often. Because her mother wasn’t by her side, she particularly enjoyed watching the interactions between the mothers and children on the show; she envied them.
Now, Mommy had agreed, and they would participate in the show together.
As Cui Cui thought about it, her smile couldn't be suppressed, lifting her lips, then she’d force it down, only for it to lift again. She tried hard to press it down.
“Um… Lu Wanqing, you must be tired after such a long journey. Please rest for a while. We can discuss other matters in detail in a few days.” Wei Xingzhou ruffled Cui Cui’s hair and looked at Lu Wanqing with a happy expression.
“Okay,” Lu Wanqing agreed.
Wei Xingzhou quickly left with Cui Cui.
Lu Wanqing watched their retreating backs, experiencing Cui Cui’s happiness for the first time.
Cui Cui was an emotionally sensitive child. With such a personality, she might have endured much hardship in an ordinary family, but by Wei Xingzhou’s side, she was exceptionally well cared for.
In the preceding years, although she knew Wei Xingzhou was good to Cui Cui, she couldn't feel his subtle thoughtfulness and care. But now, having just arrived at the Wei family, she felt his concern.
Wei Xingzhou had done nothing, yet with just a few words, he had shown her hope.
She wanted to live a good life, to make her own days better, so that her third brother on the insect planet could see it.
Therefore, she would no longer be downcast. In the days to come, she would live well until her third brother returned.
As Lu Wanqing pondered this, she took a deep breath and opened her official blog. She posted a few photos of herself and her third brother having a picnic with Harvey, accompanied by a simple caption: I’m waiting for you to come back.
After finishing all this, Lu Wanqing truly felt tired. She closed her optical computer and walked to the bedside.
Looking at the familiar bed from the 21st century, her heart was filled with complex emotions. Finally, she carefully lay down, feeling an inexpressible peace of mind.
It was at this moment that Lu Wanqing realized Cui Cui wasn’t a child who completely needed to be cared for and doted upon like a little princess. Cui Cui had grown up with Wei Xingzhou, perhaps influenced by his personality. Cui Cui… like Wei Xingzhou, possessed a unique thoughtfulness.
As someone from the ancient Earth era, although she had been trying hard to adapt to the interstellar era, deep down, she might have been the one who missed the ancient Earth era the most.
This room, everything in it, was the same as over three thousand years ago in the ancient Earth era. Sleeping here, she felt a sense of returning to three thousand years ago, a feeling of being home.
Cui Cui is truly wonderful.
Lu Wanqing thought, her heart filled with deep emotion.
Outside.
Wei Xingzhou, however, felt a pang of jealousy.
Those were antiques!
Almost everything in Lu Wanqing’s room was an antique, a genuine antique from over three thousand years ago, each item worth a fortune!
That bed!
The dressing table within!
The wardrobe in there!
Each item, he usually had to handle with extreme caution, for fear of accidentally damaging it!
But Cui Cui?
This little rich girl had used so many precious items to decorate the room for Lu Wanqing to live in. Cui Cui was too good to Lu Wanqing, her mother?
Wei Xingzhou felt jealous for a moment, then couldn’t resist looking at Cui Cui with a hint of melancholy and asked, “Cui Cui, if one day Daddy is also very sad, will you prepare a room for me meticulously and comfort me, just like you did for Lu Wanqing?”
Cui Cui was speechless. “Why would you be sad?”
Wei Xingzhou fell silent.
Wei Xingzhou thought about what could make him sad, and then he was quickly horrified.
The world was so vast, and the only one he cared about was Cui Cui. If he were to be sad one day, it could only mean something had happened to Cui Cui!
Thinking this, Wei Xingzhou quickly shook his head, “I won’t be sad!”
“I will never be sad in this lifetime!” Wei Xingzhou swore to Cui Cui.
Cui Cui rolled her eyes. “If your brain is sick, you must get it treated promptly.”
Wei Xingzhou: “…”
The father and daughter quickly left. They didn’t talk nearby because Lu Wanqing was sleeping, and they were afraid of disturbing her.
Once outside, Cui Cui still couldn’t control herself; she was so happy.
Mommy was at her house!
After waiting for so many years, Mommy was finally at her house. This wasn’t a dream; it was real!
Cui Cui couldn’t help but glance towards Lu Wanqing’s room repeatedly. That room had been prepared with great care. With her father’s help, she had researched extensively, learning about room decorations from Mommy’s era. Then, she spent a fortune to buy all the necessary items to furnish the room for Mommy. Now Mommy was living in the room she had meticulously prepared for her. From now on, she too would be a child with a mother!
As Cui Cui thought about this, she couldn’t help but open her optical computer and send messages to Mu Lan, Little Zhong Li Yi, Yu Shu, and even Harvey!
“Mommy is here at my house!” Little Cui Cui said concisely in one message.
In other directions.
Mu Lan received the message: “???”
Little Zhong Li Yi received the message: “……”
Yu Family, Little Yu Shu received the message: “Congratulations, Sister Cui Cui.”
Imperial Capital, Little Harvey received the message, and he was furious.
“So what if Mommy came? Mommy came to my house first, and Mommy has been taking care of me for a year!” Little Harvey immediately replied in a huff.
What was she so proud of? She was the last one, the very last one!!! Don’t be smug!!!
“Mommy will stay with me for one year and eleven months!” Little Cui Cui couldn’t help but send another message to everyone.
The other four children: “……”
After sending the messages, Cui Cui put away her optical computer. She didn’t want to see the replies from her older siblings and younger brother Harvey anymore. It wasn’t important. What was important was that Mommy was finally at her house, hahahaha, she was so happy!
Little Cui Cui reveled in her joy alone.
Wei Xingzhou looked at Cui Cui’s irrepressible smile and couldn't help but feel happy too.
His beloved daughter had waited for so many years, and her wish was finally granted!
As Wei Xingzhou thought about it, he inexplicably recalled many years ago when he drew lots with the others. He had kept trying to draw the last number. Thinking about his past self, he wanted to go back and slap himself.
If he had known that his beloved daughter would have to wait for her mother for so many years, he should have resorted to some small tricks and altered the drawing order, no matter what, to ensure his daughter was first!
Wei Xingzhou shook his head as he thought about it. In his life, that was probably the most mistaken and regretted thing he had ever done!
