Stealing the moonlight into my arms

Fu Runing didn't sleep well at all in the second half of the night.

In the end, she fell asleep without knowing how, and when she woke up, it was already noon.

She vaguely touched her cell phone and checked the time, and instantly became alert and awake.

There were also several missed calls on her mobile phone, all from her second uncle and aunt.

Fu Runing sat up from the sofa with a somersault.

Today is the day I made an appointment with my second uncle to pick up Xu Luo.

Xu Luo is the upcoming new member of their family.

Xu Luo’s grandfather was buried two days ago, and the girl’s designated guardianship procedure has also been completed.

Today is the first day we agreed to meet.

Fu Runing had clearly set the alarm to go home early today to pick up the children with her second uncle, but how come she slept until now?

She slapped her head in frustration and quickly called her second uncle back.

The call was connected shortly after it was made.

Fu Jinbei answered the phone.

"Uncle, where are you now? I'm sorry, I overslept this morning. Is it too late for me to go home now?"

Fu Jinbei teased, "My dear, the sun is overhead and it's already noon. If I rely on you, I might as well rely on your dog to climb a tree."

Fu Runing touched her nose and didn't refute it out of guilt.

"So where are you? Have you picked up the kids yet?"

Fu Jinbei replied: "I'm ready to come back. Jingting and I are together."

"Hmm? Jingting?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Runing looked around the study in confusion. The quilt in the corner was put away, the dirty clothes that Xiao Jingting had changed for last night were gone, and there was no trace of alcohol in the room.

Xiao Jingting is long gone.

When did he go out without making a sound?

"Yes, Jing Ting came a long time ago. Didn't you ask him to come?"

"Hmm..." Fu Runing hummed for a long time, not daring to deny it.

She didn't mention the matter of bringing Xu Luo back to Xiao Jingting.

Fu Runing asked them what time they would be home and then hung up the phone.

Before leaving the study, she walked back to the cabinet as if possessed.

She opened the cabinet and found the quilt randomly rolled up and stuffed into the cabinet.

Fu Runing closed the cabinet door and stopped trying to pry into the man's complicated self-esteem.

……

When she went out, Duoduo was wearing a cute little skirt, holding a toy in her mouth, and carrying a small backpack on her back, which contained a new doll.

Fu Runing and Duoduo agreed that the small doll in the backpack would be a gift for the young lady.

Duoduo got a robot dog toy last night. Now she is very generous and willing to give anything.

Outside the Fu family villa.

Fu Runing and Duoduo were waiting at the door, looking at the intersection from time to time.

Soon, Xiao Jingting's car appeared in sight, and even Duoduo beside him began to wag his tail.

The car drove into the courtyard and stopped steadily.

Fu Runing saw her second uncle getting out of the driver's seat, and then she saw Xiao Jingting getting out of the back seat.

Xiao Jingting led a little girl out from the back seat. The girl was fair-skinned with big eyes, but her look was timid.

The second uncle introduced Fu Runing: "Ningning, your daughter."

Fu Runing rolled her eyes at him and asked, "How can you talk like that?"

She walked up to the girl and squatted down so that her eye level was with her.

"Lolo, welcome home."

The girl was obviously more familiar with Xiao Jingting. She held the man's hand and looked at him cautiously, as if asking what he meant.

She asked Xiao Jingting in a low voice: "Is this what Grandpa Fu said, my future mother?"

The girl's voice was soft and sweet, and her timid tone and overly sensible expression made people feel distressed.

Xiao Jingting looked at her and said in a low voice: "Yes, but you don't have to call her that if you are not used to it. She is your family, and we are all your family."

"The dog next to us is called Duoduo, and she is also a member of our family."

Encouraged by Xiao Jingting's words, Xu Luo turned her gaze back to Fu Runing.

The woman in front of her was so beautiful, she had never seen anyone so beautiful.

Some people even instinctively didn't dare to get close.

The girl opened her mouth as if she wanted to shout something, but after a few seconds her face turned visibly red and she wanted to step back shyly.

Fu Runing grabbed her other hand.

She smiled at the girl and said, "My feet are numb from squatting. Can you help me up, Luoluo?"

Xu Luo nodded, the tips of her ears still red, and she tried really hard to pull Fu Runing up.

Fu Runing held the girl's soft hand and said softly, "Thank you, Luoluo."

"No...you're welcome."

After the girl said this, she bit her lip. She secretly glanced at the beautiful woman, then quickly lowered her head. The redness on her ears still did not fade.

Fu Runing thought, this is really a child who blushes easily.

Afterwards, Fu Runing took Xu Luo to familiarize herself with the house and introduced her to family members.

Xu Luo calls Fu Jinbei and Wen Lan grandpa and grandma.

At that time, Fu Jinbei told Fu Runing that if she wanted to bring the child back, she had to call her and Xiao Jingting mom and dad, otherwise there would be no deal.

Fu Jinbei cheered her on and asked her to call Xiao Jingting "Dad". Although the girl was embarrassed, she still called him that.

But when it came to Fu Runing, she just couldn't call out, and her little face quickly turned red.

Fu Runing scolded, "Second Uncle, why are you making things difficult for her?"

Having a new baby in the family is a big event, so Fu Jinbei even asked a Feng Shui master to calculate the time, and then planted a sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard according to the time.

It implies vitality and wealth.

After lunch, Fu Runing accompanied Xu Luo to open gifts in the room prepared for her.

Among all these gifts, Xu Luo’s favorite was actually the doll brought by Duoduo. She held the little golden retriever doll in her hands and even held it when she took a nap.

Fu Runing quietly walked out of the room after she fell asleep.

Outside the room, Xiao Jingting just stood there, and no one knew how long he had been there.

The man seemed to want to find a topic to talk to her, but for a moment he seemed to have found none, and his eyes were uncertain.

Fu Runing took the lead in breaking the awkwardness at the moment, "Thank you for today."

She was talking about him picking up Xu Luo for her.

Xiao Jingting said lightly: "It's okay."

"Your second uncle called twice and you didn't wake up, so I answered the phone for you."

After hearing his explanation, Fu Runing smiled and teased him, "You were drunk and mad, and I didn't sleep well all night."

Xiao Jingting was slightly stunned, but immediately retorted: "I didn't."

"You don't have anything? Do you remember what you did last night?"

Xiao Jingting didn't say anything, but just frowned slightly, as if his brain was working at high speed, recalling what happened last night.

Fu Runing just stared at him leisurely.

She deliberately moved closer to him and said, "Can't you remember? Do you want me to remind you?"

"You last night..."

Xiao Jingting stopped her from talking and said firmly: "Anyway, I'm not drunk."

Fu Runing put on a serious expression and said, "Yes, you weren't drunk, you just insisted on sleeping in the study and wouldn't be dragged away."

After saying that, she observed Xiao Jingting's facial expression and saw that his ears had also quietly turned red.

tsk...

Fu Runing still pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What's in the study? Why do you have to sleep in it?"

If I hadn't slept with you in the study all night, I would have thought you were hiding a female demon."

Xiao Jingting turned sideways, not looking directly at her, and changed the subject: "What are you going to do with this child in the future? Are you going to let her live here forever?"

Fu Runing glanced at him.

Look, when he sobers up, he becomes a saw-mouthed gourd again.

She was too lazy to ask further questions.

Fu Runing thought of Xu Luo. She sighed and said, "Do I look so difficult to get along with? Why does such a big girl seem to be so unfriendly to me?"

Xiao Jingting said lightly: "No, she likes you."

"Then why does she seem a little afraid to look at me? She seems to like you more." Fu Runing was confused.

The two of them were standing facing the balcony terrace, with the afternoon sun shining in, forming a sharp contrast with the darkness inside.

Xiao Jingting raised his eyes, and the moment they met the sunlight, he needed to squint slightly.

"When she sees the sunlight, the first thing she feels is the glare, and then she closes her eyes." Xiao Jingting paused, then added: "She is still young, and she will get along well with her over time."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Fu Runing's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.

"Oh, you're quite understanding."
