Chapter 504: Family (1)
Li Yuming’s villa. Xiehan had just left a few hours ago and Lanni couldn’t sit still. She rested her head against the armrest of the sofa as she sighed softly.
Li Yuming saw her and patted her head, tousling her hair. "Do you miss him already?" She asked.
"Yes." Lanni nodded and confessed. She had started missing him from the moment he entered the plane and she didn’t know what to do to make time fly faster. Was there a way to convert two years into two months? If there was, she would prefer to directly convert all the time he had to be away into two hours so he would be back within the time she needed to take a nap.
"He will be back soon." Li Yuming consoled her for the umpteenth time. "They say, distance only makes the heart fond, right?"
Lanni smiled at how much everyone was trying to ensure she didn’t feel too lonely. She already knew that time would fly so fast that she would not realize it, she just felt empty inside.
"Though I’m more interested in your love life." She added as she looked up at her mother.
"What love life?" Li Yuming frowned as she asked. There was no such thing as her love life, at least none that she talked to Lanni about. What in the world was her daughter talking about?
"You and Mr. Chan." Lanni chuckled mischievously. "Neil Chan, Ruby’s former father, the man who has been sending you lots of gifts lately."
Li Yuming laughed and smacked her on the shoulder. "You and Luna have such a busy imagination. What made you think there was a love life between us?"
Lanni knew that although her mother was not embarrassed, she was flustered at the mention of whatever was brewing between her and the man she had been spending a lot of time with lately, so she did not stop teasing. "Isn’t there?"
"Well..." Li Yuming wasn’t sure what to say. Was it really alright to discuss her personal matters with her daughter? Why did it feel so wrong?
Lanni took her silence for a blush, and it made her throw her head back and laugh. "You know, I’ve never seen you blushing all my life. I almost thought you were incapable of loving."
