"I came to find you," Little Jingshi sat on the large sofa, his cheeks flushed pink.
"Find me?" Ming Yutong was both surprised and delighted.
She watched as Little Jingshi blinked his big eyes and asked seriously, "Tong Tong, do you believe in love at first sight?"
Ming Yutong: "..."
Could this little guy be implying that he fell in love with her at first sight?
Sure enough, Little Jingshi fluttered his long curly eyelashes and continued, "When I saw you at the hospital last time, I really liked you. Tong Tong, can I marry you when I grow up?"
Ming Yutong: "..."
She remembered she hadn't told him her name or where she worked last time, had she?
Ming Yutong asked him those questions.
Little Jingshi swung his short legs hanging off the edge of the sofa and said, "I asked Uncle Bian, he knows everything."
Ming Yutong also remembered that Jingshi was Fu Yinxiu's son, and Fu Yinxiu's identity...
If he wanted to know something, how could he not find out?
Ming Yutong thought for a moment and then suddenly froze.
Wait a minute!
She almost got caught up in this little guy's words.
"So why did you come here now? Aren't you supposed to be in class?" Ming Yutong almost forgot about this.
Little Jingshi still had his backpack on.
All those childish words and phrases he said just now had confused her so much that she forgot.
Since he arrived, Little Jingshi was at a loss for words.
He could say that he wanted to come, but Dad didn't let him. Someone picked him up from school, and he could only sneak out at noon.
Ming Yutong looked at him helplessly. "So you sneaked out?"
Little Jingshi lowered his head in shame, his chubby index fingers intertwined, showing her only a dark and fluffy head, with red ears.
Ming Yutong sighed, a little angry too. "Do you know how dangerous it is to sneak out like this? What if you meet bad people on the way?"
"I am very careful," Little Jingshi said with his head down. But before Ming Yutong could speak sternly, he immediately apologized, "I know I was wrong, I'm sorry."
If he had tried to argue, Ming Yutong could have kept a stern face to educate him.
But with this soft apology, Ming Yutong had no way to respond.
She sighed and said helplessly, "You are really reckless. Your family and teachers don't know you've run out. If something really happened to you, where would they find you? Your... your dad would worry so much about you."
Little Jingshi glanced at the GPS locator system designed and installed by his father on his wristwatch. Wherever he was, his dad could always find him.
However, Little Jingshi hadn't told Ming Yutong about it yet.
He just blinked his clear eyes and looked up at her, "Would you worry too?"
"Yes," Ming Yutong nodded vigorously, wishing she could just pull Little Jingshi into a hug and hold him tightly.
"I would worry, feel sad, and heartbroken, as if..." Ming Yutong pressed her hand against her heart, "my heart was being squeezed."
Upon hearing this, Little Jingshi immediately said seriously, "Then I won't wander around anymore, so you won't feel heartbroken."
Blushing slightly, he sent Ming Yutong a flirtatious look, "If you're heartbroken, I'll feel the same pain."
Ming Yutong: "..."
What had Fu Yinxiu usually taught the kids?
Ming Yutong checked the time. It was already 11:40. Even if she sent Little Jingshi back to Jixia Academy now, he wouldn't make it to morning classes.
She hadn't expected this child to come looking for her on his own initiative.
Out of selfishness, she also wanted to spend more time with Little Jingshi and didn't want to send him back so soon.
"Since you've come all the way here, why don't you have lunch with me later, and then I'll take you back to Jixia Academy," Ming Yutong said.
Originally not expecting much, thinking Ming Yutong would send him back to school immediately, Little Jingshi was surprised that she wanted to take him out for a meal.
Little Jingshi's eyes sparkled as he looked at her. He knew she also liked him.
Without hesitation, Little Jingshi asked, "Yutong, do you like me too?"
"I like you," Ming Yutong said. How could she not like him?
Although their meanings of 'liking' seemed to be a bit different.
But Little Jingshi only took the literal meaning and immediately said happily, "So today at noon, it's our first date!"
Ming Yutong: "...*
"Come with me to my office first. I'll call your teacher so they won't worry about not finding you," Ming Yutong stood up and reached out to Little Jingshi.
Holding Little Jingshi's hand, Ming Yutong led him back to her office, where many people in the company saw them along the way.
Everyone speculated about the relationship between Ming Yutong and this child.
"Whose kid is this?"
"They seem to have a good relationship with President Ming."
"Doesn't anyone think this kid looks a bit like President Ming?"
Everyone: "..."
In the office, Ming Yutong asked her secretary to bring Little Jingshi some juice, but no snacks since they would eat lunch soon and she didn't want him to spoil his appetite.
Then, she asked Little Jingshi for his teacher's number and called him herself.
When Little Jingshi disappeared, especially a child attending Jixia Academy, each one was precious.
Especially Fu Yinxiu's child.
Because of his disappearance, the teacher was indeed in a hurry, even alarming Fu Yinxiu.
Fortunately, Ming Yutong managed to call in time and let Little Jingshi apologize to his teacher over the phone, finally easing the teacher's anxiety.
After hanging up, Ming Yutong saw Little Jingshi was also talking to someone on the phone.
