Chapter 2113: Taking You Along


The crying was utterly heart-wrenching, and it startled Zhao Xi, causing him to almost lose his grip on the reins.

He quickly turned to look at his son. "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly crying?"

Little Huo Huo reached out towards him, tears streaming down his face. "Daddy, don't go! Huo Huo doesn't want you to leave. Don't want mommy either. Wah…"

He started crying even more fiercely, and the people around slowly understood his words.

Shu You chuckled and tried to comfort him. "Daddy doesn't want to leave Huo Huo. Daddy will be back soon."

"Don't come back! Don't want me! Wah, want big brother, want auntie, not me, wah, wah, wah…"

The more he spoke, the sadder he cried. Everyone looked at the carriage, both inside and out. Besides Shu Yu and little Xiao Songle, there was only Zhao Xi.

At first glance, it did indeed look like a family of three.

Especially when Little Huo Huo wanted Zhao Xi to hold him, but Zhao Xi was afraid that he wouldn't want to let go once he picked him up. So, he refused. Instead, he turned and picked up Xiao Songle and even acted as if he was about to leave, which made Little Huo Huo even more heartbroken.

Shu You felt helpless. She said to Zhao Xi, "It's alright; you can go ahead. I'll comfort him."

She directly turned around, holding Little Huo Huo, and walked away. "Daddy will be back soon, and mommy won't lie to you."

"Wah…"

"Alright, stop crying. Mommy will take you to eat some soft and fluffy cakes, okay?"

"Wa-wa…"

But he couldn't be consoled, especially when the sound of the carriage rolling away grew fainter and fainter. Little Huo Huo cried so much that his voice became hoarse.

Shu You was getting anxious. Her son had never cried like this before, and no matter what she did to divert his attention, it didn't work. Especially when she saw him crying so miserably that he almost fainted, she felt even more heartbroken.

The sound of the carriage wheels rolling away had just started when Shu You suddenly turned around and saw that the carriage, which had already left, was coming back.

Zhao Xi jumped down from the carriage shaft and took the child from her arms. "Alright, be a brave little man. Why are you crying? Daddy's back now, right?"

Shu You looked at him in surprise. "Aren't you leaving?"

"I'm leaving, but I'm taking you all with me."

Shu You blinked. "You mean you're not going?"

"I am going, and I'm taking you all with me."

Shu You hesitated. "But…"

Shu Yu got off the carriage and smiled. "Big sister is worried about Yiren Pavilion, right? Don't worry; you have mom and Lan Hua. Lan Hua is experienced now, so there shouldn't be any problems. You can come with us to see the fashionable clothing in the capital. It's not a wasted trip, right?"

Shu You was very tempted. She raised her head and looked at Little Huo Huo, who had been comforted by his father and was now clinging tightly to Zhao Xi's neck. After almost choking Zhao Xi, he finally stopped crying.
