Qiao Shaoting felt it harsh after hearing the childish words.

It was like cutting his heart.

Watson saw it.

He immediately signaled Diudiu not to say anything.

Although Diudiu was young, she was not treated well at home, and even abused by her "mother", so she was very good at reading people's minds.

When Watson looked over, Diudiu understood it.

She immediately shut her mouth and stopped talking.

Qin Yu was a bit fidgety.

She suddenly couldn't finish the meal.

The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward, so awkward that she didn't want to stay anymore.

Finally, Qin Yu said to Diudiu, "Diudiu, didn't you say you would go shopping for toys? Let's go first."

Qin Yu was not good at lying.

Nor did she like lying.

But now, she still lied.

A white lie.

Otherwise, Qin Yu was afraid that Qiao Shaoting would think too much if she just rushed off.

Diudiu heard Qin Yu's words and froze.

She subconsciously said, "Miss, I didn't say I wanted to buy toys."

Qin Yu, "..."

It was her fault.

She lied in the heat of the moment, but forgot that she hadn't talked to Diudiu in advance.

While Qin Yu was annoyed, Diudiu had already reacted.

This child was very smart.

She immediately stood up, "I remember, Miss. I asked you to take me to buy toys. Miss, let's go."

Qin Yu sighed with relief.

She looked at Watson and Qiao Shaoting, "Watson, Qiao Shaoting, I still have something to do so I'll go first. You guys take your time."

After saying that, without waiting for their reply, she took Diudiu's hand and hurried away.

It was like running away.

In this meeting, Diudiu's childish words made her unusually embarrassed and at a loss.

All the calmness, all the self-righteous coolness were destroyed in front of the childish words!

When the two people left, Qiao Shaoting did not say anything.

He picked up the food with chopsticks and brought it to his mouth as if he was eating the same as usual, without any difference.

Watson was secretly relieved.

Just now, Qin Yu took Diudiu away. He could see that it was an excuse. She was not buying toys!

Otherwise, Diudiu would not have subconsciously said this sentence!

Even if she was to buy toys, she wouldn't have to be in such a hurry.

How could she buy toys in the middle of a meal!

Watson was afraid that Qiao Shaoting had seen it and would be sad.

But luckily, judging from Mr. Qiao's reaction, he really believed it!

In this way, Watson accompanied Qiao Shaoting to eat this meal.

After eating, Qiao Shaoting suddenly said in a low voice, "Watson, it seems that I am very bad, so bad that she is not even willing to accompany me to eat a meal."

This sentence made Watson understand that Mr. Qiao had known it all.

"But I still finished the meal." Qiao Shaoting suddenly added, "Just think of her as still being by my side and accompanying me through this meal."

These words made Watson's heart sink inexplicably.

He said, "Mr. Qiao, let's go."

He was afraid that Mr. Qiao would stay in this restaurant and get emotional.

So it was better to go back to the North.

At least when in the North, Mr. Qiao would immerse himself in his work so that he wouldn't think of Qin Yu.

Qiao Shaoting nodded his head, and his voice was low with bitterness, "Let's go back to the North."

...

At the same time, Qin Yu took Diudiu to a toy store.
