"Cui Cui~" Lu Wanqing thought, then carefully reached out her hand, gently asking, "Do you miss Mommy?"
Wei Xingzhou stood by, anxiously watching his precious daughter not call out to her mother.
It wasn't good for his daughter to be like this. If she liked Mommy, she should say it, or Mommy would be snatched away by other children!
Wei Xingzhou thought, and then subtly tugged at little Cui Cui's hand, urging her silently with their father-daughter unspoken understanding.
Cui Cui felt her father's urging. She looked at Lu Wanqing, who was right in front of her, and suddenly said coldly, "I don't miss you!"
After speaking, little Cui Cui immediately turned her head away, facing Lu Wanqing with her side profile.
Little Cui Cui's gaze drifted out the window. No one in the hovering vehicle could see that the moment she turned her head, her eyes turned slightly red.
She didn't miss Mommy!
She didn't want to!
She wasn't a child anymore!
She wasn't the one among the cubs who cried the most and wanted her mother the most!
Lu Wanqing froze, then quickly reached out and carefully took little Cui Cui's hand.
Little Cui Cui immediately used force, pulling her hand out of Lu Wanqing's grasp. She turned her head back, and when she looked at Lu Wanqing again, her eyes had returned to their previous coolness, showing no trace of the redness that had just appeared or the tears that had almost fallen.
"Don't touch me, I don't like you!" little Cui Cui said nastily.
Lu Wanqing stiffened.
Wei Xingzhou's face changed. He quickly hugged little Cui Cui and scrambled to hide in the corner on the other side of the hovering vehicle.
Holding his precious daughter, Wei Xingzhou whispered in a low voice in the corner, father and daughter having a private chat.
Lu Wanqing hadn't expected this. She felt a pang in her heart. Did little Cui Cui really not like her anymore?
Children might be ignorant when they were young and really want their mothers, crying for their mothers every day. But as they grew up and became sensible, they no longer wanted their mothers, and perhaps even… hated their mothers.
As Lu Wanqing was thinking, she felt a man's large hand gently rub her head. She couldn't help but turn to look at Mu Sijie.
Mu Sijie pointed at her light screen.
Lu Wanqing looked at him, confused, then lowered her head and opened her light screen as he gestured.
When Lu Wanqing opened her light screen, she saw the message Mu Sijie had sent her.
Mu Sijie: "Cui Cui likes you very much. She has always wanted a Mommy, but she's just a child and doesn't quite know how to express her emotions."
Was that it?
Lu Wanqing instantly understood. She raised her head and cast a grateful look at Mu Sijie.
She had indeed been a bit irrational earlier. Because the child rejected her, she had subconsciously believed the child's words and thought the child didn't like her.
But Cui Cui was still so young, only four years old. How could she have any real malice? Especially towards the mother she had wanted most in her childhood.
Lu Wanqing thought, then couldn't help but look at little Cui Cui in the corner, being whispered to by Wei Xingzhou. Her heart softened again.
In the corner, Wei Xingzhou finally finished discussing with little Cui Cui. Father and daughter walked out of the corner together.
Little Cui Cui's expression was still sour, but when she looked at Lu Wanqing, her expression had improved considerably.
"Ma… Mommy…" the little one clutched the straps of her small backpack, looking at Lu Wanqing, and said hesitantly and stammeringly.
Lu Wanqing's heart melted. At this moment, she suddenly remembered that during the livestream on the barren planet, Cui Cui had also watched her and Mu Lan's livestream, and Cui Cui had even given them rewards.
Cui Cui definitely didn't hate her mother. She probably just longed for her mother's company for too long and had been waiting for Mommy without success, which was why she was like this now.
Lu Wanqing thought, then squatted down in front of little Cui Cui. She reached out her hand and looked at little Cui Cui expectantly, saying, "Cui Cui, Mommy misses you so much. Can Mommy hug you?"
Little Cui Cui looked at her, her face tensing up again. She stared at her coldly, and after a moment, she directly turned and went to sit in the next seat.
Lu Wanqing's heart inexplicably felt empty. She thought for a moment, then couldn't help but take out a spatial button and pick out a hairband from her belongings.
She had made this hairband thinking of her daughter. Although she couldn't see her daughter, ever since she knew she had two daughters, she couldn't control her longing for them. When she had free time, she would use it to make small gifts for her children.
Now that she suddenly saw little Cui Cui, a spark of inspiration flashed through Lu Wanqing's mind, and she took out this small hairband.
Lu Wanqing carefully held the hairband out to little Cui Cui, swaying it.
Little Cui Cui turned her head, her cold gaze falling on Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing smiled and said, "Cui Cui, this is a hairband Mommy braided for you when I was missing you. It's for you~"
Little Cui Cui's gaze shifted from Lu Wanqing's face to the hairband being offered to her.
Lu Wanqing noticed that little Cui Cui's fingers tightened their grip on her backpack straps, and her small hands were almost tearing the straps.
Lu Wanqing held up the hairband and swayed it again.
"Mommy knows how to tie many cute hairstyles~ Would you like Mommy to tie the prettiest hairstyle for Cui Cui?" Lu Wanqing thought, and couldn't help but say again.
Little Cui Cui suddenly reached out and snatched the hairband, saying coldly, "No!"
Lu Wanqing looked at little Cui Cui, noticing her cold expression as she held the hairband, but her small hands were tightly clenched. Her heart softened.
Lu Wanqing couldn't hold back anymore. She leaned forward and hugged little Cui Cui tightly.
This was her cub~
This was her daughter!
So cute!
Holding her child, Lu Wanqing felt an unprecedented satisfaction in her chest.
She couldn't help but lower her head and deeply inhale the scent of her daughter's neck.
Ah, the joy of "sniffing" a cub was unparalleled!
Little Cui Cui's body stiffened. After a moment, she reached out and pushed Lu Wanqing away unhappily, "What are you doing?"
Lu Wanqing was pushed away. She looked at little Cui Cui and said with a smile, "Mommy likes Cui Cui so much. Cui Cui is so beautiful~"
Little Cui Cui's pushing hand stiffened slightly, then she uncomfortably withdrew it.
"I'm naturally the most beautiful!" little Cui Cui said coldly, looking at Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing froze, then couldn't help but laugh. Cui Cui was truly too adorable.
"Yes, Mommy's Cui Cui is the most beautiful, the most beautiful precious daughter in the world!" Lu Wanqing praised her.
Although they had only interacted for a short time, Lu Wanqing seemed to sense that Cui Cui… liked beauty?
The little one liked to be praised for being beautiful?
Little Cui Cui slightly lifted her chin, the corners of her mouth not pulled down as much, seeming a little pleased. However, she quickly composed herself and didn't smile.
She wasn't pleased at all!
She didn't miss Mommy one bit!
"I'm naturally the most beautiful, even prettier than Yu Shu!" little Cui Cui added.
Lu Wanqing: "???"
Lu Wanqing's mind went blank. She looked at Cui Cui, suddenly a little bewildered. Why would the child suddenly compare herself to Xiao Shushu?
Could it be that children, even if they hadn't lived together, would still be jealous of each other?
Lu Wanqing thought, and couldn't help but think of little Yu Shu. Although she hadn't interacted with little Yu Shu either, she remembered what little Yu Shu looked like. And when little Yu Shu was with her father, Yu Nong, her obedient appearance was also different from Cui Cui's.
"Shu Shu is very cute. She's a different type of little fairy from Cui Cui," Lu Wanqing thought, and couldn't help but say.
