"Liu Yifeng, you can't stop my son from recognizing me as his mother. One day, I will take Tongtong away from you." This was her only thought at the moment.
On the other side, Liu Yifeng had just walked into the hotel lobby and was heading towards the elevators when he was stopped by the front desk.
"Hello, excuse me, are you Mr. Liu from 2022?"
Liu Yifeng stopped and looked at the attendant. "Yes, it's me. Is there something wrong?"
"We received a package from Haicheng today. The delivery person couldn't reach you by phone, so they left the package at the front desk. If you confirm it's yours, I'll have our colleague take it up to your room."
Liu Yifeng picked up his phone and saw that it was dead and powered off, no wonder he hadn't received the call.
But who sent this package? He didn't ask anyone to send anything.
Besides, he had just arrived here, and very few people knew he was staying here. Who would send him something?
Seeing that he seemed unaware of it, the front desk attendant asked him to come over and take a look.
Liu Yifeng walked over and looked at the large bag of items. Suddenly, he realized. He remembered, this must be from Su Wanru, and if he wasn't mistaken, it contained Tongtong's clothes.
He hadn't expected that just yesterday he had been curious about her, and today his address would arrive.
Had delivery speeds improved so much?
"Sir, is this your package?" the front desk attendant asked hesitantly as Liu Yifeng stared blankly at the package.
At this moment, Xia Qianqian also looked curiously at the sender and receiver.
The sender was written as Su Wanru, and the recipient was Liu Yifeng.
The name clearly indicated it was a woman. Could this be Liu Yifeng's girlfriend? she wondered to herself.
However, this thought made her a little unhappy.
Didn't he say he didn't want to get married yet? Why was he dating someone?
Liu Yifeng, oblivious to her displeasure, immediately nodded. "Yes, it's mine!"
Tongtong also saw the sender and immediately became excited. "It's Aunt Su! She must have bought me new clothes!"
Seeing Tongtong so excited about Aunt Su, Xia Qianqian asked casually, "Tongtong, is Aunt Su your real aunt?"
"She's my daddy's friend. Aunt Su is very good to me. She knew I was coming to record the show and bought me lots and lots of clothes, saying I should wear something new every day."
Hearing this, Xia Qianqian already knew the answer.
These two were definitely not ordinary friends, otherwise, she wouldn't have bought so many clothes for Tongtong. It showed their relationship was unusual.
"Sir, since it's your package, shall I have a colleague send it up for you?" the front desk attendant's words brought Xia Qianqian back to reality.
Liu Yifeng smiled and refused. "No need, I can take care of it myself."
He could lift a water tank weighing seventy to eighty jin with one hand, let alone a package of clothes.
With that, he easily picked up the package containing the clothes. It was a bit heavier than he had imagined.
It felt like there was more than just clothes inside, otherwise, it wouldn't be so heavy.
However, this weight was nothing to him.
But it left the front desk attendant dumbfounded. This handsome guy was so strong!
When the package was delivered earlier, she had struggled to move it.
Who would have thought that he could lift it with one hand, and so easily, as if he were carrying cotton, not something heavy? No wonder he didn't need help.
She glanced at the male staff at their hotel and felt they couldn't compare.
In the elevator, Xia Qianqian's mood was clearly not good.
Even Liu Yifeng sensed it and couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong? Are you tired?"
Xia Qianqian smiled faintly. "I'm fine. But you and Ms. Su seem to be quite close. Buying so many clothes for Tongtong, could she be your girlfriend?"
She asked this in a joking tone, not wanting Liu Yifeng to think she cared too much about it.
Liu Yifeng didn't think much of it and immediately denied it. "No, I'm a single dog!
I just have business dealings with Ms. Su, and we sometimes have meals together, so our relationship is okay.
When she heard that Tongtong was coming to record the show, she insisted on buying some clothes for him. Since she bought a lot and it was inconvenient for me to carry them, she mailed them to me."
"I see. But you have quite a few female friends. Last time it was Ms. Xu who bought clothes for Tongtong, and this time it's Ms. Su. Your popularity with women is quite good. If there's a suitable one, I think you could develop a romantic relationship." Hearing that they weren't that kind of relationship, Xia Qianqian's mood improved considerably, and she felt like joking.
Although she knew Liu Yifeng wasn't interested in her, and she didn't want to get married too early herself, the thought of Liu Yifeng having a girlfriend made her very uncomfortable. As for why she was uncomfortable, she didn't know herself.
Before Liu Yifeng could reply, Tongtong's voice rang out, "Aunt Xia, are you jealous?"
As soon as he spoke, Xia Qianqian's face turned red. She denied it, "Jealous of what? Tongtong, don't talk nonsense!"
"Oh, so you're not jealous? Then why is Aunt Xia so interested in Daddy's romantic life?"
Although children speak without thinking, Tongtong's words still made Xia Qianqian very uncomfortable. She was naturally thin-skinned.
So, she put on a mature air and said to Tongtong earnestly, "Tongtong, I'm just concerned about your daddy as a normal friend, do you understand? You are not allowed to make such jokes in the future, or Aunt Xia will get angry!"
Whether Tongtong truly understood or not, he nodded, but his eyes seemed to see right through Xia Qianqian.
Xia Qianqian didn't dare to look into Tongtong's eyes and quickly turned around, facing the elevator door.
Fortunately, the elevator finally opened, and the atmosphere became less awkward.
"Aunt Xia, goodnight!" Tongtong said proactively as he watched someone swipe their room card.
Xia Qianqian, who had opened her door, waved back with a smile. "Goodnight, Tongtong, see you tomorrow!"
Then, she looked at Liu Yifeng. "Rest early, see you tomorrow!"
Liu Yifeng nodded. "You too!"
After watching Xia Qianqian enter her room, he opened his own door.
Upon entering the room, he didn't immediately open the package but plugged in his phone to charge.
Then, he and Tongtong quickly showered. They hadn't sweated much today, and the father and son finished bathing in five minutes.
Coming out of the bathroom, Liu Yifeng turned on his phone and found several missed calls.
Apart from the unknown numbers that might have been from the delivery person, the rest were from his father, Su Wanru, Xu Muqing, and Liu Kai Chen.
He considered calling them back but thought it was too late, and they were likely asleep, so he held back.
He would call tomorrow. With that thought, he put down his phone.
"Tongtong, let Daddy blow-dry your hair, and then we'll go to sleep!"
"Okay!" Tongtong put down his Transformers toy.
Then, he stood in front of the bathroom mirror, obediently letting his daddy blow-dry his hair.
After drying Tongtong's hair, Liu Yifeng also briefly blew his own.
It was good that they were men; a few blows after washing their hair and it would be dry.
Unlike women, blow-drying hair took at least ten minutes, which was too time-consuming.
After drying their hair, the father and son brushed their teeth and then went back to bed.
Little did they know, the people who had been unable to reach him were suffering from insomnia.
And Liu Yifeng, the person involved, fell asleep shortly after lying down.
Tongtong looked at his sleeping daddy and sighed helplessly.
His daddy was good at everything, except for being so carefree.
His phone had been off for so long, and he had so many missed calls, which would surely worry the callers. Yet, his daddy could sleep so soundly.
But he also knew that his daddy was too tired, so he didn't ask his daddy to call back, thinking he would do it himself.
So, he quietly sat up, picked up the phone charging on the bedside table, and opened the message app.
There were over a dozen missed messages, most of them from Aunt Su and Aunt Xu.
The messages were filled with anxious words.
