Chapter 454: Overwhelmed

Song Siming hurriedly took advantage of the situation to feed Bai Zhi breakfast, carefully observed her daughter's reaction, and silently noted her preferences in her heart.

A breakfast was enjoyed by everyone.

After breakfast, Xiao Ke Xiao Ai clung to her uncle and wouldn't let go.

Compared with Lu Jueyun and Lu Juefeng, Xiaoke and Xiaoai were more lively in front of Song Licheng. Even Xiaoke, who had always been steady, became more and more like a child.

Probably subconsciously, I always feel that my father may become someone else's father, and my uncle may become someone else's uncle, but my uncle will always be my uncle.

Song Licheng was also very doting on Xiaoke and Xiaoai, and he was even more flattered when he realized how dependent the two children were on him.

These are simply two little angels given to him by God.

"Uncle, can you take us to kindergarten today?" Xiao Ai took Song Licheng's hand and said coquettishly, "I want everyone to see that I have such a handsome uncle."

"Okay!" Song Licheng was extremely happy, and he wanted everyone to know that he had such a lovely pair of twin nephews.

After Song Licheng sent Xiaoke Xiaoai to kindergarten, Song Siming took Bai Zhi to Bai Shulin's tombstone.

The spring breeze blows, the willows behind the tombstone have sprouted new buds, and the woman on the tombstone is like a flower that will never wither, always so young and so beautiful.

There was a smile on her lips, and her eyebrows were furrowed as she looked at the person in front of the tombstone with compassion.

"Shu Lin, Xiaozhi and I have recognized each other." Looking at Bai Shulin in the photo, Song Siming burst into tears, "Xiaozhi is a kind child, just like you..."

"I thought she would hate me, I thought she would reject me. But our daughter is kind, generous, and has no complaints about me. You raised her very well. Thank you for allowing me to see her again in my lifetime. Our child gave me a chance to make amends," Song Licheng choked.

"Don't worry, I will make up for everything I owe you. I will let the children return to the Song family and no longer let them suffer any more. I will love our daughter as much as I love you."

Listening to Song Siming's words, Bai Zhi had mixed feelings and burst into tears.

Mom, did you hear that?

Dad's feelings for you have never changed.

Rest in peace, Mom, the one you loved so much, he loved you so much too.

I don’t know where the love started, but it goes deeper and deeper.

This is not your obsession alone.

*

In the Lu Group's conference room, everyone's legs were weak.

Mr. Lu was in a bad mood today. The plans he submitted were either rejected on the spot or required to be completely reworked.

Even the Second Young Master Jue Yun straightened his back and did not dare to say anything.

Mr. Lu seemed to be waiting for some important call, his eyes glancing at the phone from time to time.

Unfortunately, as the meeting was drawing to an end, there was no response from Mr. Lu’s cell phone.

Correspondingly, Mr. Lu's face became increasingly ugly.

Everyone was holding their breath tremblingly. Normally, they would like their leaders to look at them more to increase their sense of presence, but now they just hate that they are not invisible.

He was afraid that Lu Juefeng would sweep towards him with just a glance.

Just when everyone was trembling in fear of being called out, Lu Juefeng's cell phone suddenly rang.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that finally they are waiting for you, my life-saving voice.

Hearing the phone ringing, Lu Juefeng picked up the phone with some hesitation, but when he saw that the caller ID was not Bai Zhi, he pressed down the phone in disappointment.

The temperature in the conference room instantly dropped to freezing point.

The person who had just breathed a sigh of relief suddenly raised his heart to his chest, counting the seconds in his head, hoping that this meeting would end soon.

On the way back, Song Siming asked the driver to stop the car after passing a century-old candy shop.

"Xiao Zhi, sit still and don't move. Dad will be back soon." Song Siming patted Bai Zhi's hand, got out of the car and went to the candy shop in person.

"This...isn't this Xiao Song? You are here to buy halva again." The nearly 80-year-old shopkeeper saw Song Siming and said, "I felt quite excited."

The young shopkeeper hurriedly came out and said, "Grandpa, do you know Boss Song too?"

The old shopkeeper smiled and said: "We know each other, why don't we know each other? When he and his wife fell in love, you were not born yet. At that time, his wife loved to eat the halva we added. If I remember correctly, she loved it the most. The food tastes like egg yam.”

"Uncle Zhou, you not only have a good memory, but you are also so strong." Song Siming was a little surprised when he saw Uncle Zhou, whom he had not seen for many years.

"Old man, every year is different. After all, my grandson is already so old." The old Uncle Zhou said in a loud voice, "Still the old rule, two portions of egg and sweet potatoes?"

Song Siming nodded.

The young shopkeeper had already packed the candies himself and handed them to Song Siming with quick hands and feet: "Boss Song is so kind to my wife. He comes here every week to buy sweet potato cakes for my wife."

Uncle Zhou smiled and said: "What do you know? When they were in love, his little white loved to eat my crispy candy the most. Speaking of which, after you got married, I went back to the countryside to retire. In the blink of an eye, this It’s been over twenty years.”

Song Siming's eyes darkened, and after paying the money, he returned to the car with the egg dumplings wrapped in a paper bag.

"Xiao Zhi, come and try it?" Song Siming picked up a piece of egg tart cake and handed it to Bai Zhi's hand.

"What is it?" Bai Zhi took the egg sweet potato from Song Siming and took a bite.

This is……

Mom’s favorite halva? !

She has never eaten this flavor of halva since her mother passed away.

Because she didn't know where it was sold, even on the omnipotent Taobao, she never found it.

Therefore, Dad also knows about this candy shop, so have they never seen it before?

"Dad, do you often come here to buy halva?" Bai Zhi thought of something and asked.

"Why do you ask this suddenly?" Song Siming was stunned.

"When my mother was still alive, she would often buy this kind of halva. After she passed away, I never ate it again."

Song Siming was silent for a few seconds and asked, "Your mother often comes here to buy halva?"

"Yes, every Wednesday." Bai Zhi nodded.

Song Siming stopped talking. Every Wednesday was his busiest time, and it had never changed for decades.

Shulin, are you avoiding something?

"Every Friday." Song Siming replied after looking out the window for a while.

Bai Zhi nodded and said no more.

As luck would have it, they had bought halva from the same store for so many years, but they had never met each other.

Maybe, it really is a deep love but a shallow relationship.

After returning to the Nanguo Garden Villa, Song Siming asked the servants to make tea, and sat with Bai Zhi in the yard near Er Er Lan, talking about Bai Zhi's mother.

February is like wine, and orchids are in full bloom. It is a good time for early spring.

The sun is shining warmly, the wind is blowing, accompanied by the elegant fragrance of flowers.

The wind from the willows blowing on my face is probably what I was talking about before.

Bai Zhi remembered that her mother passed away at this time of year.
