Chapter 458 - 419: Why Are We Here?
"Qingqing’s dad, Qingqing, Weiwei, are you heading home?"
After tidying up the classroom, Yang Yuxi was about to head home when she saw Huang Jun’s family preparing to leave, and she greeted them warmly with a gentle smile.
Before Huang Jun could speak, Weiwei couldn’t contain her excitement and answered first, "No, Miss Yang, my dad said he’s taking my sister and me to a special place."
A special place?
Yang Yuxi raised an eyebrow slightly. Combining it with the news she heard in the garden this afternoon, she had an inkling: "Oh, you’re going to see..."
The next second...
Her words stopped abruptly.
Because she suddenly noticed Huang Jun eagerly signaling her with his eyes.
Got it~
I understand!
He wants to give the kids a surprise and doesn’t want her to reveal too much beforehand!
And so...
She didn’t continue further, just smiled.
Qingqing saw Yang Yuxi stop speaking suddenly and blinked her curious eyes, asking, "Miss Yang, what were you about to say we’re going to see? Do you know where my dad is taking my sister and me?"
"Yeah, Miss Yang, do you know where my dad is taking us?" Weiwei echoed in her childish voice, tilting her little head.
Huang Jun: "..."
These little smarties!
This batch of kids is really clever, they can see the signs.
Yang Yuxi: "..."
Yes, the teacher knows, but the teacher can’t say...
"How could the teacher know, the teacher isn’t a worm in your dad’s belly." She could only respond with humor, trying to lighten the atmosphere: "However, I believe the place your dad is taking you must be very interesting, and you’ll definitely like it."
"Oh..."
A hint of disappointment flashed across the two little ones’ faces, but it was soon replaced by curiosity about the unknown.
Qingqing’s eyes gleamed with a hint of anticipation as she invited, "Miss Yang, do you want to come with us?"
"Yes, Miss Yang, if you’re not busy, come with us!" Weiwei also lifted her innocent little face, full of hope as she looked at Yang Yuxi, then turned to Huang Jun, continuing, "Dad, I want to invite Miss Yang along, is that okay?"
She blinked her big, bright eyes, using her unique cuteness to look at Huang Jun, as if saying with her eyes, "Please, Dad, say yes!"
Huang Jun thought that Yang Yuxi had had a busy day and would surely want to go home and rest, possibly not having extra time and energy to join their family activities.
He then, with a touch of apology, said gently to Yang Yuxi, "I’m sorry, Miss Yang, the kids are young and don’t quite understand, you don’t have to mind."
As he spoke,
he signaled Weiwei with his eyes, telling her not to bother the teacher and not to take up her resting time.
But in the next instant...
Yang Yuxi suddenly spoke, "Qingqing’s dad, I’d really like to go with you if you don’t mind. After all, spending happy times with Qingqing and Weiwei is the most relaxing moment of my day."
Huang Jun felt a bit surprised.
He didn’t expect Yang Yuxi to readily accept the little ones’ invitation.
Seeing Yang Yuxi agree to their invitation, Qingqing’s little face immediately lit up with a joyful smile.
Weiwei wore a slightly proud expression, looking at Huang Jun with a hint of smugness in her eyes: Dad, see! Miss Yang wants to come with us too!
Huang Jun: "..."
Since Yang Yuxi showed great interest, he was happy to oblige.
He smiled and nodded, "Alright then, Miss Yang. However, I must tell you in advance that our itinerary might be quite mundane, but if you don’t mind, you’re very welcome to join our little group."
Yang Yuxi answered cheerfully, "No worries, I was just wondering how to relax after work. Being with Qingqing and Weiwei, I believe any plan will become interesting."
"Yes, Miss Yang, I think so too!" Weiwei nodded.
"Alright then, let’s go!" Huang Jun reminded, then looked at Yang Yuxi and asked, "Miss Yang, you know the address, right?"
Yang Yuxi nodded, "I do!"
Huang Jun suggested, "Then you drive over, and we’ll meet at the entrance."
Yang Yuxi responded readily, "Okay!"
Huang Jun held Qingqing and Weiwei’s little hands, and together with Yang Yuxi, they left the kindergarten, getting into their respective cars.
On the road, Qingqing and Weiwei sat in the back’s child safety seats, watching the landscape pass by. Feeling unfamiliar with the destination they’re heading to, they couldn’t help but ask, "Dad, where exactly are we going?"
Huang Jun, mysterious: "You’ll know when we get there."
Qingqing pleaded coquettishly, "Dad, just tell me, please~"
Huang Jun insisted on keeping the mystery: "You’ll know when we get there, if I tell you now, the surprise will be gone."
Qingqing and Weiwei pouted their little mouths, "Oh, alright..."
In the questions and answers between Huang Jun and Qingqing, Weiwei, the Wuling Hongguang slowly pulled into the parking spot beside the entrance of Jinyuan District.
Once the car stopped, Huang Jun got out and lifted Qingqing and Weiwei out of the car.
"Huh?"
Just as Qingqing and Weiwei’s feet touched the ground, their gaze was drawn to the entrance of Linting Garden with a hint of confusion and curiosity, asking, "Dad, is this the special place you mentioned?"
Huang Jun smiled and nodded, "Yes! This is Linting Garden. What do you think of it?"
Qingqing and Weiwei looked around and nodded in approval, "It’s great and beautiful, but Dad, why are we here?"
Huang Jun smiled slightly, "We’re going to live in this neighborhood from now on."
Qingqing and Weiwei’s eyes widened with surprise and disbelief, "Really?"
"Of course, it’s true!" Huang Jun replied gently, "I brought you here to see our future home."
Weiwei jumped up excitedly, "Yay! We have a new house to live in."
Qingqing asked worriedly, "Daddy, is the rent here very expensive?"
Her little heart was worried that her dad would have to fret over money again.
Huang Jun explained with a smile, "It might be expensive, but don’t worry; the house is provided by the principal for free, so we don’t have to spend a penny."
"Oh~"
Qingqing finally felt relieved, grateful to the principal mom. But soon, a trace of worry crossed her little face, and she couldn’t help but ask, "Daddy, if we move here, will I never see Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang again?"
Uncle Jiang and Granny Jiang...
Their words echoed in Huang Jun’s ears, filling his heart with complex emotions—both bittersweet memories and warm fondness.
After all, during their family’s most difficult times, the elderly couple not only cared for him deeply, offering great help and comfort but also showered Qingqing and Weiwei with love.
In Qingqing and Weiwei’s hearts, besides their dad, kind Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang were undoubtedly the closest and most beloved people.
He shook his head and said, "No, if you want to see Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang, Daddy can take you to visit them anytime."
"That’s good!"
Qingqing’s face broke into a relieved smile, and all her worries and doubts vanished at that moment.
During their conversation,
Huang Jun saw Yang Yuxi walking over with a smile, and together they explained their intentions to the security guard before entering the neighborhood.
They walked through the lush courtyard, arrived at their floor, and stepped into the elevator.
Weiwei volunteered, "Daddy, which floor? I’ll press it!"
Huang Jun smiled and said, "Fifth floor!"
"Mm-hmm~"
Weiwei nodded vigorously, tiptoed, stretched her small hand towards the elevator button, and accurately pressed the fifth floor button.
The elevator doors slowly closed, and with a gentle whirring sound, the elevator began to rise steadily.
"Ding~"
With a crisp, pleasant notification sound, the elevator doors slid open to the sides.
They walked out of the elevator and arrived at the door of unit 503.
Huang Jun took out a key, and with a gentle turn, the door opened in response.
"Wow~"
Qingqing and Weiwei looked at the bright and spacious living room, their eyes sparkling with delight.
"Come, let’s have a look around."
He said, leading the children on a tour of their new family space exploration.
In the living room, a comfortable sofa, a sleek coffee table, and a stylish flat-screen TV formed a cozy relaxation corner.
On one side of the living room, a large window welcomed the evening sunlight, casting golden brilliance throughout the room.
Opposite was a modernly designed open kitchen equipped with glossy cupboards, a tidy stovetop, and a shiny refrigerator, each reflecting the completeness and convenience of the facilities.
Between the kitchen and living room, a long dining table was quietly placed for convenient dining.
Walking down the corridor, two bedrooms appeared in front of them.
The master bedroom was spacious and bright, equipped with ample wardrobe space and a soft, comfortable large bed. Though the second bedroom was slightly smaller, it was equally warm and cozy, with every detail revealing the warmth of home.
Between the two bedrooms was a fully equipped bathroom with modern shower facilities, a washbasin, and a toilet, all appearing clean and tidy.
After touring every corner of the house, Huang Jun, wearing a satisfied smile, asked, "Qingqing, Weiwei, do you like it here?"
Qingqing and Weiwei replied in unison, "We like it!"
"Glad you like it," Huang Jun nodded with satisfaction, "Then let’s choose a time this Saturday to move in, okay?"
"Okay!"
