Lu Wanqing saw that Zhongli Feiyu didn't seem to be lying, so she could only temporarily put aside her worries. However, making a mecha for Zhongli Feiyu seemed to be a matter that needed to be expedited.
"I'll make the mecha for you as soon as possible," Lu Wanqing said to Zhongli Feiyu.
"Thank you!" Zhongli Feiyu was truly grateful. Frequently going to the battlefield, a super-3s mecha was very important to him.
Lu Wanqing had said all she needed to say and suddenly didn't know what else to talk about.
Zhongli Feiyu glanced at the time. It was getting late. He looked up and said, "Have you finished drawing? It's time for dinner."
Lu Wanqing quickly came back to her senses. "Almost. I'll go tidy up my things and come downstairs shortly."
"Okay," Zhongli Feiyu said with a smile.
Zhongli Feiyu turned to look at the young Zhongli Yi and said sternly, "Xiao Yi, you tidy up your things too. Get ready for dinner."
"Mhm!" The young Zhongli Yi quickly nodded.
Lu Wanqing returned to her room and was about to tidy up her things when she saw the drawing on Xiao Yi's "tablet." She was stunned. She looked at her own hand-drawn design draft of a giant panda placed beside it. Then, she compared it with the drawing on Xiao Yi's "tablet" and finally understood what the little guy had been doing earlier. 138 Reading Network.
Her heart suddenly felt soft. So, Xiao Yi had such a cute side too.
When the young Zhongli Yi returned, Lu Wanqing looked at the child and couldn't help but ask, "Does Xiao Yi also like to draw?"
The young Zhongli Yi hesitated for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head. "I'm not good at drawing."
Lu Wanqing quickly explained, "It's okay. You haven't had any systematic training yet, so it's normal not to be good at it. If Xiao Yi likes it, Mommy can teach you in the future."
"Mhm!" The young Zhongli Yi nodded.
Lu Wanqing ruffled the child's fluffy hair, and a slight smile curved her lips.
"Hurry up and pack your things. Dinner should be ready. Don't let it get cold," Lu Wanqing said.
"Okay." The young Zhongli Yi agreed again.
Lu Wanqing and the young Zhongli Yi began to pack their things. The young Zhongli Yi had very few belongings and finished packing quickly. He ran back to his room with his "tablet" pattering, put the "tablet" into his schoolbag, and then ran back.
Lu Wanqing also put away her drawings and tools. Seeing Xiao Yi return so quickly, she smiled and held out her hand to the little guy.
Xiao Yi quickly came over and placed his small hand in hers.
Lu Wanqing led the little guy downstairs, but halfway down, her light brain suddenly vibrated. She had received a message.
She stopped and raised her wrist to open her light brain.
Mu Sijie: "The kitchenware you wanted is ready. Do you have time to come out now? Lan Lan and I are outside the military dependents' area."
It was a message from Mu Sijie. The kitchenware was ready, and Lan Lan was here too!
Lu Wanqing immediately became happy. The corners of her mouth couldn't suppress the arc of her joy.
"Xiao Yi, Uncle Mu and Brother Lan Lan are here. Mommy is going outside to pick them up!" Lu Wanqing said to the young Zhongli Yi after reading the message.
A fleeting look of bewilderment flashed across the young Zhongli Yi's eyes.
However, Lu Wanqing had already let go of the young Zhongli Yi's hand and ran outside quickly.
In the living room, Zhongli Feiyu and Butler Xiao saw her rushing outside, and both men were slightly stunned.
The young Zhongli Yi followed closely from upstairs. Zhongli Feiyu and Butler Xiao couldn't help but look at the young Zhongli Yi.
With Lu Wanqing gone, the atmosphere in the Zhongli family seemed to have returned to its usual state: solemn, quiet, not a sound.
Zhongli Feiyu and the young Zhongli Yi looked at each other, but neither knew what to say to the other. The young Zhongli Yi had grown up in this atmosphere his whole life. He didn't know what to say to his father, nor did he have anything to say.
Zhongli Feiyu also didn't know how to break the silence. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What is your mother going to do?"
They had agreed to have dinner, but she suddenly rushed out so eagerly. Was something wrong?
The young Zhongli Yi's expression had, at some point, returned to its previous solemnity. He replied, "Mommy said Uncle Mu and Brother Lan Lan are here, and she's going to pick them up."
Mu Sijie?
Zhongli Feiyu was surprised.

Outside the community, Lu Wanqing rushed out of the military dependents' area and immediately started searching by the roadside.
But she couldn't find anyone until a hovercar turned the corner and stopped in front of her!
Lu Wanqing recognized it. It was the Mu family's hovercar!
The hovercar door opened, and Lu Wanqing quickly looked inside. Where was Lan Lan? She hadn't seen the child for many days. She missed Lan Lan so much!
"Mommy!" Inside the car, the little Lan Lan also became happy immediately and ran towards Lu Wanqing. He got out of the hovercar, hugged Mommy's thigh, and was overjoyed!
"Mommy, I missed you so much!" the little Mu Lan said, looking up at Lu Wanqing with a happy expression.
Lu Wanqing also bent down and squatted, kissing the child's forehead. She dotingly said, "Lan Lan, Mommy missed you too. Mommy loves you."
"I love Mommy too~" the little Mu Lan immediately said.
In the hovercar, Mu Sijie watched them with a smile. "Let's get in the car first. We'll find a place to sit down for dinner, and I'll give you the things then."
Lu Wanqing looked up at Mu Sijie, slightly bewildered. "Aren't you coming in for a bit?"
Lu Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "The Zhongli family has already prepared dinner. We can all go in together..."
"Wanqing," Mu Sijie called her. He said gently, "Some things are not convenient."
Lu Wanqing froze. She couldn't help but look back at the community.
Mu Sijie said, "I'll bring you back after dinner."
Lu Wanqing lowered her eyes to look at Lan Lan, who was hugging her thigh with bright, happy eyes. After thinking for a moment, she nodded and agreed, "Okay."
Lu Wanqing held the little Mu Lan's hand and got into the Mu family's hovercar together.
The hovercar started quickly and carried them away.
Zhongli Feiyu and Xiao Yi were still waiting for her for dinner. Lu Wanqing sat down in the hovercar and opened her light brain. She sent messages to both Zhongli Feiyu and Xiao Yi, explaining the situation and telling them not to wait for her.
In the Zhongli residence, Zhongli Feiyu and the young Zhongli Yi received the messages, and father and son fell silent.
"Let's eat," Zhongli Feiyu said to the young Zhongli Yi.
The young Zhongli Yi's hand, placed by his side, clenched slightly. He replied, "Okay."

The Mu family's hovercar stopped in front of a seafood restaurant. In the car, Zhongli Feiyu stood up, and Lu Wanqing, holding the little Lan Lan, also got up from her seat.
They got out of the hovercar together and walked towards the restaurant.
Mu Sijie had already booked a private room. As they entered the restaurant, a service robot immediately came to greet them warmly and led them directly to the private room.
"Mommy, the seafood at this restaurant is delicious!" the little Mu Lan said to Lu Wanqing as soon as he sat down, extremely excited.
"Is it?" Lu Wanqing looked at the little Mu Lan, and her mood also couldn't help but improve.
The menu was on the table. She picked up the menu to look.
The little Mu Lan also immediately leaned over and looked at the menu with her.
