Chapter 4182 Shouldn’t
The woman heard the door open.

Haven't seen anyone yet.

She was already lying on the bed.

There was a TV series playing on the TV opposite the bed, but the woman didn't watch it at all.

She had been waiting for the man to come back.

She also felt sad when she quarreled with her children.

She wanted to know about the child.

The loud sound of the television did not reach her ears.

The slight sound of the door opening suddenly woke her up.

Realizing her own reaction, the woman smiled wryly and shook her head.

As expected, she was always thinking about her child.

……

"How is Nannan?"

"she-"

The woman's voice stopped abruptly.

She saw the man appear in her sight.

and also……

The man was holding a small figure beside him.

Her daughter holding a teddy bear.

The daughter who had a quarrel with her not long ago.

The daughter she finally found...

……

"you……"

The woman looked at the man, then at her daughter, "She..."

She stutters a little.

She never expected that the man would bring the child with him.

She thought the child should be asleep in bed by now...

……

"Nannan has something to tell you."

The man smiled and gently pushed the little girl.

"is not it?"

The man bent down and gave the child an encouraging smile.

……

"……Um."

The little girl hugged the bear in her arms tighter.

It turned out to be the right decision to bring Xiongxiong here.

Before she saw her mother, the little girl was eager to see her mother and wanted to say something to her mother...

But I actually saw my mother...

The little girl seemed to be mute.

His mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.

……

Ok?
The little girl turned her head suddenly.

There was a look of shock on his face.

……

It was the man who patted the child on the shoulder.

The man smiled reassuringly at the child.

"scared you?"

“Is there a positive effect of two negatives?”

The man winked at the child.

"Weren't you quite resolute just now?"

"Why do you become a coward again when you see your mother?"

……

The little girl subconsciously shook her head and retorted, "No."

However, after being scared by her father, the little girl did feel a little relieved.

Facing my mother again, I didn’t seem so nervous anymore.

……

"What do you want to tell me?"

The woman lay on the bed and waited until the interaction between the father and daughter was over before speaking.

After the initial surprise, she began to have some guesses in her mind.

Yet I couldn't quite believe it.

She looked at the man.

There was a questioning look in his eyes.

The man nodded slightly to the woman.

……

The woman's folded hands on the quilt tightened slightly.

She looked at the child.

Waiting for the child's answer.

……

The little girl looked at her father again.

The man clenched his fist and cheered the child on.

Also used the aggressive method.

"Didn't Dad just say tomorrow?"

"It's not too late to regret now."

……

"No."

The little girl turned her head away stubbornly.

When she saw her mother, the expression on the little girl's face froze and then slowly became embarrassed.

……

"……Mother."

After a lot of mental preparation, and with the teddy bear doll deformed by her hugging, the little girl finally made a sound.

……

"Ah."

The woman's tone was steady.

His expression was also very calm.

……

The little girl bit her lower lip gently.

A few seconds later -
"……sorry!"

the little girl screamed.

His head dropped down, almost buried in the bear's skull.

……

Maybe it was just a few seconds of silence, but the little girl felt as if every second was an agonizing moment.

She was so nervous that her heart seemed to jump out of her throat.

"Gulu~"

The little girl swallowed hard.

...Not to mention the man right behind the child, the woman who was a little further away also heard the sound of the child swallowing.

……

So nervous...

The woman and the man glanced at each other inconspicuously.

……

“When you apologize, look the other person in the eye.”

A woman's voice finally rang out in the overly quiet room.

It also interrupted the little girl's growing uneasiness.

The little girl was a little slow to realize what her mother said and immediately raised her head.

She met her mother's eyes.

Just as she was panicking and wanted to look away, she noticed her mother smiling at her.

When she looked carefully, she found that her mother was not smiling?
Did she see it wrong?

The little girl was confused.

But she missed the chance to look away anyway.

……

“That’s how sincerity is shown.”

The woman continued.

……

Oh……

The little girl stared at her mother blankly.

……

The man gently pushed the little girl.

"Come closer."

He reminded the little girl.

……

The little girl took a few steps forward following the force behind her.

She came to her mother's bedside.

……

"right-"

The little girl took a deep breath.

"sorry."

This time the voice was not as loud as before, but it was spoken while looking at mother.

……

"Sorry for what?"

The woman did not say whether she accepted or rejected it, but asked back.

……

Sorry for what...

The little girl's brain went blank for a moment.

Then, she remembered.

"I shouldn't have left home."

the little girl blurted out.

……

The woman stared at the little girl silently for a while.

Just when the little girl was so nervous that her palms were sweating and she wanted to run away, she... saw her mother smiling again...

Hey?
The little girl opened her eyes wide.

this time…..
Mom really laughed.

Mom’s smile didn’t fade.

She was not wrong.

……

"I accept your apology."

The woman restrained her smile slightly and said seriously.

“But there won’t be a next time.”

"No matter how angry you are with your parents, you can't joke about your own safety."

"Do you understand?"

……

The little girl felt a little overwhelmed, but also a little relieved, by her mother's unexpectedly gentle tone.

She nodded somewhat flusteredly.

"understood."

"I won't run away from home again."

……

"you need to know……"

The woman was still worried that the child didn't take the problem to heart, "If you run away from home, you might be caught by bad people and you will be hurt."

"You may never see your parents again."

"Do you want to never see Mom and Dad again?"

……

The little girl was a little scared.

She shook her head vigorously.

"No."

"I don't want to be without my parents."

The child's eyes were slightly warm.

……

The woman's expression softened.

"Then never run away from home again."

"Can you promise mom?"

……

"it is good."

The little girl nodded quickly.

"I'm never leaving home again."

……

"good."

The woman smiled.

She reached out and patted the spot next to her.

"Sit here."

"Are you sleepy?"

As if she suddenly thought of something, the woman looked at the child's face.

……

The little girl blinked.

She was a little caught off guard by the sudden change of topic.

She just put Bear Bear on her mother’s bed…

……

"……not sleepy."

After a while, the little girl's brain finally returned to normal function.
