Adoption: Promises of Love - Chapter 8

Adoption Chapter 8: The Phone Call

After the last incident Luo Ruixi started to think with Luo Yi in mind, no matter what he did he would spend a little more time thinking before doing anything so as not to do something that would hurt Luo Yi again.
“Young master has been sitting in the garden pavilion reading after you left, he seems to like the book you bought him, had a good meal at noon, ate a lot, and asked if young master also eats at this time ……”
Uncle Ming reported Luo Yi’s situation during the day one by one, Luo Ruixi held the phone and listened attentively, the corner of his mouth with an obvious smile.
“Well, keep him company, give him whatever he wants, if he wants to go out, take him if you think it’s okay. The main thing is to keep him happy, call me immediately if he acts out of character, I don’t want what happened last time to happen a second time.”
“Yes, young master.”
These words Luo Ruixi had already said no less than ten times, every time Uncle Ming finished his report he would say this, knowing the young master’s worry, Uncle Ming just responded properly every time, it’s not a bad thing for the young master to have someone who cares for him with all his heart and soul.
“Uncle Ming.”
A small voice rang out beside him, Uncle Ming who had just hung up the phone was startled, after seeing that it was Luo Yi, he revealed a kind smile. Uncle Ming didn’t like Luo Yi very much at first, but after getting along for a while he realized that this child who was always expressionless had a lot of cute things to offer, and the one thing that pleased Luo Ming the most was Luo Yi’s care for Luo Rui Xi.
Even as an eight year old child, the thought of having such a person who loved his young master dearly made Luo Ming feel very pleased.
“Is there something wrong with the young master?”
Uncle Ming squatted down and came face to face with Luo Yi.
“Was that Luo Ruixi’s call just now?”
Luo Yi hugged the children’s book that Luo Ruixi had personally helped him pick out, his glassy bead-like eyes revealing a hint of anticipation.
“Well, it’s young master’s phone call, young master is really concerned about young master, every time you contact young master, you will be found out.”
Luo Yi didn’t care about the second half of Uncle Ming’s sentence, shifting her eyes to the phone, “Can I talk to him?”
These days Luo Ruixi was so busy, leaving early in the morning, and although he would come back on time in the evening to have dinner with him, he looked all tired and didn’t talk much properly.
He was a bit lonely.
“Will it bother him at work?”
Having made the long-desired request, but then immediately asked such a thoughtful question, Uncle Ming’s smile deepened, the crow’s feet at the corners of his eyes squeezing together.
“If it’s you, it’s definitely no problem, young master will be very happy.”
“Really?”
The upper eyelid slightly lifted upwards, the light flashing from those eyes under the thick eyelashes was so touching, the slender arm hugged the book in her arms a little tighter because of the small excitement.
Would Luo Rui Xi really be happy?
If only it could make him happy.
“Well, it will definitely be happy oh.”
“Are we going to call now?”
Uncle Ming asked as he picked up the phone.
Luo Yi pursed her lips for a moment, then nodded firmly.
Even if it’s good to hear his voice, it’s good for a moment.
“Young master sit over here and hold the phone.”
Uncle Ming leads Luo Yi to the sofa and sits down while handing him the already dialed phone, Luo Yi holds the book with one hand and takes the phone and puts it to his ear.
“What’s wrong with Uncle Ming? Is something wrong with Luo Yi?”
Receiving another call from home after only a few minutes, Luo Rui Xi nervously inquired.
“I’m fine, very fine.”
Speaking in a single tone, Luo Yi unconsciously covered his eyes and hung his head, the expression on his face didn’t change in any particular way, hearing Luo Rui Xi’s voice, knowing that Luo Rui Xi had been worrying about himself, Luo Yi felt a warm, hot feeling in his heart.
Finally there was a person that could be linked to his thoughts, and when he was thinking about the other person, the other person also shared the same sentiments.
He was so happy.
“Luo Yi?”
Hearing the familiar child’s voice Luo Rui Xi relaxed, put the pen in his hand to one side and changed to a comfortable sitting position, “Why is it you little thing, could it be that you miss me?”
“Uh-huh. I miss you.”
Luo Yi didn’t even think about it and immediately continued to answer, looking at his toes with firm eyes.
Originally just a joke, but in exchange for such a serious reply, Luo Rui Xi’s expression froze, and then immediately laughed cheerfully.
His family’s Luo Yi was inevitably too cute, right?
“So?”
“Asked Uncle Ming if I could call you, and then I called you.”
“And then? Want to tell me something?”
Leaning against the office chair, Luo Rui Xi narrowed her eyes and smiled like a fox.
“I don’t know.”
Pinching the spine of the book Luo Yi honestly answered, “Just wanted to hear your voice.”
The most moving words don’t need gorgeous rhetoric, this simple and straightforward reply is enough to make an adult’s long frozen heart warm back to spring.
“Xiao Luo Yi are you luring me home? Saying such nice words, I would really throw down my work and run home, oh.”
“No way.”
Being rejected by this decisive refusal of the little thing Luo Rui Xi cried and laughed.
“If Luo Rui Xi wants to work well, it’s okay for Luo Yi, as long as Luo Rui Xi comes back on time, it’s okay for Luo Yi.”
Luo Yi held the microphone and said very seriously word by word, not realizing that he blinked his eyes gently a few times while saying that sentence, giving away the secret deep in his heart.
It wasn’t that he was okay with it, he just didn’t want to be abandoned.
He would be abandoned if he became a burden, he didn’t want to, he definitely didn’t want to be abandoned by Luo Rui Xi.
He would obediently wait at home, as long as Luo Rui Xi would still come back.
“Uh-huh, for Luo Yi’s sake you have to work hard too, or else you won’t be able to support Luo Yi.”
“Haha, right?”
Nope, Luo Yi didn’t want to be fed before telling you to work well, Luo Yi just didn’t want to get in your way.
Pursed her lips Luo Yi did not say anything, her eyes were a little dark, silent for a long time before she slowly said, “I can, you hang up the phone.”
Waiting for a long time to wait for such a sentence Luo Rui Xi was a little confused, he still could not keep up with Luo Yi’s rhythm, it is true that the mind of a child is very difficult to understand it.
“After using me, you’re going to get rid of me like this?”
Half-truthfully uttering capricious words, Luo Rui Xi himself didn’t quite understand why.
Hearing this Luo Yi was a bit puzzled, listening to the tone it seemed like she wasn’t very happy.
Did I say something wrong?
Luo Yi was puzzled and looked at Uncle Ming next to him, but the other party just smiled kindly at him.
I don’t understand what the adult is thinking.
“Come back early, I want you to help me bathe tonight.”
Would it make him happier to say that?
Actually changing the topic.
Luo Rui Xi raised an eyebrow, but let it go, after all, the words of reply were what he liked.
“Well, wait for me for another three hours, will appear in front of you on time.”
“Luo Yi, see you later.”
“See you later, Luo Rui Xi.”
“Bye.”
“Bye.”
Putting down the phone reluctantly, both of them revealed expressions of unfulfillment.
Isn’t it time to arrange a vacation?
Luo Rui Xi thought, and immediately dialed the intercom to call Qin Muhao in.
President Luo wanted to take a vacation, and no one could stop it this time.
