Today, Ding Junqi did not take the minivan. He had gotten off work early today, thus what remained was considered his private time. He got someone to drive his car over as he planned to drive home himself.
As Ding Junqi was driving, he looked at the strangely disturbed Le Tian through the rearview mirror. “What’s wrong?” Ding Junqi asked with a frown. He really did not like to see Le Tian like this.
Le Tian looked at Ding Junqi again and pursed her lips slightly. “Have you ever been in a car accident?”
Car accident?
When Ding Junqi heard Le Tian’s words accompanied by the serious expression on her face, he chose to respond with a nod in the end. “Yes, I did. I came out from the parallel space after that accident.”
Le Tian remembered. He told her before; the news also claimed that Ding Junqi forgot everything after the car accident. He could not even remember who his child’s mother was.
So, perhaps she and Wen Shan had gotten into a car accident and brought Ding Junqi into a parallel space. Meanwhile, Ding Junqi’s car accident allowed them to return?
Yet, what happened exactly during that one year in the parallel space?
“What’s wrong?” Ding Junqi asked worriedly again.
Ding Yuejia leaned against the car door as he stared at the KFC signboard outside. His little hand held Le Tian’s hand. “Mom, I want KFC. I’ve never had KFC before.”
Le Tian was speechless as she looked at the little rascal sitting in front of her. How dare he! When he stayed with her in the past, she often brought him to eat food from KFC, okay?
Ding Yuejia probably felt that there was something wrong with this statement, so he quickly amended himself. “I haven’t had KFC with Dad.”
Correct, there was nothing wrong with this sentence.
“If your dad goes out there, he’ll become KFC and get eaten,” Le Tian said directly.
“Go out, buy some, and bring the food back to the car. We can eat at home,” Ding Junqi suggested kindly.
Le Tian, “…”
Should they not be avoiding junk food right now?
“Since we’re eating at home, why shouldn’t I order takeouts instead of buying from the store? Am I crazy?” Le Tian sneered.
Ding Junqi, “…”
He suddenly lost his interest in talking.
Ding Yuejia giggled as he leaned against Le Tian’s chest and watched Le Tian order food from KFC with her cell phone. Simultaneously, his little hand tapped on the food he wanted to get.
Ding Junqi stared at the mother-and-son duo who were currently ordering dinner and noticed that Le Tian seemed fine now. Was it just his imagination just now?
The takeaway arrived at the house with them. Ding Junqi first brought Ding Yuejia into the house first, while Le Tian only headed back after receiving the takeaway.
However, when she reached the door, she received a message from another number. From the content, it was from Dong Feng, telling Le Tian that he was sorry.
Le Tian blacklisted the number once more. If all the apologies in the world mattered, what was the point of having the police around?
Ding Yuejia, who kept yelling excitedly for KFC, ran over the second the door opened. When he saw Le Tian return, he hurriedly picked up the huge bag with his small hands and walked to the living room.
Ding Junqi had already changed into his home clothes. He walked to the living room and picked up the remote control to turn on the television. Ding Yuejia’s small hands swiftly scrambled to open up the bags as he removed the contents. “Daddy’s, Mommy’s, Yuejia’s.” The little boy had divided the items himself without needing help from anyone else.
Le Tian frowned as he watched Ding Yuejia leave all the fries for him and his mother.
“Daddy doesn’t eat fries,” Ding Yuejia explained crisply.
[“Hey, a person who doesn’t eat fries simply doesn’t have a future, okay?]
A peculiar scene flashed through Le Tian’s mind. It felt like something that happened in the past.
