Chapter 572: 572 Our Dad (6)_1
In such an ambiguous atmosphere, their gazes met.
Eleven raised her hand, lightly hitting him, "In your dreams! It’s over, go to sleep."
Without caring about his thoughts, she stood up and walked to the bathroom to fetch some water.
Eleven purposefully lingered in the bathroom for a while. When she returned, Gu Liancheng had fallen asleep again.
After waiting for a bit to ensure he was sound asleep, she crouched down, turned on the flashlight application on her phone, and started searching for the lost photograph.
However, after groping around for a long time and carefully observing, she still couldn’t find the picture underneath the bed.
She sat up straight, wondering if he might’ve seen it and put it back into the book?
With this thought in mind, she stood up to find the book. After flipping through it, she found no trace of the photo.
As she put the book back, she could only pray that he wouldn’t flip through it. If he found the photo missing, it would be her fault. After all, it was his memory, and losing it while it was in her possession would be very embarrassing.
She put her hands together and whispered an apology to the sleeping Gu Liancheng, "Sorry, I lost your photo..."
...
As soon as she woke up the next morning, Eleven felt Gu Liancheng’s forehead. His fever seemed to have subsided and wasn’t as burning hot as the previous night.
Ai Lin came over to check on him, with documents in her hands. Apparently, she needed him to sign something.
"Let him sleep until he naturally wakes up. Don’t disturb him, he looks very tired."
"Understood, Miss Qianxun." Ai Lin responded with a smile.
"Good, then I’m leaving. Today is Children’s Day. There’s a performance at the kindergarten. Since he’s ill, he shouldn’t go. If he wakes up, tell him not to worry about the kindergarten matters. I’ll take care of the two kids."
"Alright Miss Qianxun, I’ll do as you said." Ai Lin answered gently.
The performance was also a parent-child event, where all parents had to attend.
The event began in the afternoon. Eleven led the two kids, and the butler drove them to the kindergarten.
The kindergarten was all decked out by the teachers. There were several balloon piles at the entrance, which the children rushed to play with. However, Fang Jiujiu and Gu Mengmeng only glanced at them before losing interest.
Mengmeng looked up and asked, "Eleven, is Mr. Gu really not coming?"
"Yes, he is still unwell and needs more rest. You both just stick with me, alright? Don’t run off, okay?"
"Well, can’t be helped then..."
Clearly, Mengmeng was somewhat disappointed that Gu Liancheng couldn’t come.
She wished he could be there too. Parents’ participation in these children’s activities is vital. The children’s growth process can’t lack the company of their parents.
The kindergarten also prepared a special welcoming ceremony, where the children and parents had to enter together.
Eleven noted that the so-called entrance ceremony was meticulously arranged.
Officially, Mayor Liang and his family were to be the first to enter, followed by the businessmen. However, behind the scenes, Gu Liancheng was actually the first, with even Mayor Liang yielding to him slightly. This could be seen from the outcome of the children’s squabble last time.
The expected courtesies would still be given; thus, even if Gu Liancheng were present today, he would let Mayor Liang enter first. At least she felt that Gu Liancheng wouldn’t stoop down to contest for these so-called titles.
Unfortunately, Gu Liancheng was not present.
