Chapter 2 Fired

Lisa raised her head and looked at her again. Lisa knew that she was in a difficult situation. After all, they were from the same studio, and everyone's income was about the same. She hardly bought a new dress in a month, so everyone could see her predicament.

Lisa pushed her glasses up a little bit. She wasn't someone who would be so unreasonable, but since the order had been given, she had to fire her. Otherwise, their cooperation with the An family would have been ruined.

She thought for a while and said, "I went to the finance department to pay your salary. I'll give you an extra three-month salary, and I won't hold you responsible for screwing up the cooperation with the An family. You can leave now."

Qin Ruo's tears were rolling in her eyes. She bit her lower lip and lowered her head. Knowing that there was no turning back, she gently answered and left.

Most of the people silently watched her packing her stuff, and then she went to the finance department to get paid and left.

A few of them who did not like Qin Ruo were gossiping about her and did not restrain their voices at all.

Qin Ruo squinted at them and left without saying anything.

Qin Ruo took her things home, and Ruirui welcomed his mother with joy.

"Mom!" Qin Rui jumped up and hugged Qin Ruo. He was so excited. "Mom, why are you back so early today? Ruirui has been quietly reading at home!"

Qin Ruo quickly put the things down and hugged Qin Rui with her red eyes. She gave him several kisses on his little face. "Is Ruirui happy?"

Qin Rui giggled as he held Qin Ruo's face with his short arms and kissed Qin Ruo on the cheek, leaving a lot of saliva behind. "Ruirui is so happy!"

Qin Ruo finally shed tears after enduring for a long time. She met An Hengyu and then got fired. Although she had received an extra salary, she knew that Ruirui had always wanted to go to kindergarten. Now that she had no job, it was very difficult for her to send Ruirui to kindergarten.

"What's happened to you, mom? Did someone bully you?" Qin Rui's big, anxious eyes were full of tears. "Mom, stop crying. Seeing that mommy is sad, Ruirui wants to cry too."

Qin Ruo quickly wiped away her tears and said, "Mom is fine. It was just that I accidentally caught my eye in the wind just now."

When Qin Rui heard this, he held Qin Ruo's cheeks with her small hands and blew Qin Ruo's eyes with his red mouth. "Every time Ruirui is in pain, mom would blow away the pain for Ruirui, and Ruirui would also blow for mom ..." After speaking, he continued to hold Qin Ruo's face and blow.

Qin Ruo's heart ached. Qin Rui was still so young and sensible. The most fundamental reason was that she was not able to give him a good life as a mother. However, she definitely did not regret the fact that she insisted on giving birth to Qin Rui back then because Qin Rui was now everything in her life. It was hard for her to imagine what her life would be like without Qin Rui, and what the future would be like.

She touched Qin Rui's head and said gently. "Mommy doesn't hurt anymore. Ruirui is awesome!"

Qin Rui felt that he could help his mother too, so he said happily, "Mom, you are the best, because every time Ruirui is in pain, you will help me. Every time you finishes blowing, Ruirui will not be in pain!"

Seeing the happy smile on Qin Rui's face, Qin Ruo felt that it was all worth it.

Her eyes fluttered as if she saw another face through Qin Rui. Then, a sharp pain shot out of her heart and she could not help but hiss. She glanced at Qin Rui. Qin Rui was helping her to take her slippers and put her backpack. He didn't notice anything unusual about her, so she smiled again.

Qin Rui had always been sensitive to emotions, and she didn't want Qin Rui's to feel sad.

"What would you like to eat tonight? Mommy will make it for Ruirui." Qin Ruo pulled Qin Rui into her arms.

The little guy, who was hugged by his mother, instantly quieted down and said obediently, "Ruirui will eat whatever mommy makes!"

Qin Ruo pinched Qin Rui's small nose and said with a smile, "How about I making a plate of braised pork with brown sauce for Ruirui tonight?"

When Qin Rui heard the braised pork, his eyes lit up and he nodded eagerly. "Okay, okay!" Qin Ruo didn't want Qin Rui to have an unbalanced nutrition, so she always controlled him to not eat too much meat. Every time he acted coquettishly, he could only eat a few more pieces of braised pork. Now, when he heard that Qin Ruo wanted to make him a plate of braised pork, he was overjoyed.

Seeing Qin Rui's shining eyes, Qin Ruo smiled indulgently. "OK, let Ruirui eat his fill today!"

Qin Rui said with a smile, "Ruirui will never be able to eat enough braised pork made by mom."

Qin Ruo's heart was warm. The mother and son chatted and laughed as they cooked and ate.

After tidying up the table, Qin Ruo saw Qin Rui writing and drawing on the table and sat down beside him. "What is Ruirui drawing?"

"I'm painting a meal with mom."

Qin Ruo froze. Although Qin Rui and Qin Ruo were the only two people eating in the painting, one more cutlery appeared beside them. She knew in her heart that Qin Rui was longing for a father, but he was afraid that she would be sad, so he never mentioned the word "father" after he became sensible. Qin Ruo had felt guilty countless times in her heart, but this was the first time she felt that it was a direct hit to her heart.

Qin Rui was so eager for his father that he draw a new set of cutlery in his painting.

Qin Ruo took a deep breath. Even if she was willing to give all her love to Qin Rui, she would not be able to fill the vacancy in his heart caused by his father.

She smiled and said to Qin Rui, "Ruirui, stop painting. It's getting late. Let's go upstairs and rest."

Qin Rui put down the pen obediently and grinned, "Then mom will tell me the story of the wolf tonight. I like it best!"

Qin Ruo touched his head and smiled, "Alright, I'll tell you."

The next day, Qin Ruo was not in a hurry to find a job, but had breakfast with Qin Rui. Qin Ruo also said, "Ruirui, mommy will take you to the amusement park today, okay?"

Qin Rui's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at her and asked, "Really?"

Qin Ruo rubbed Qin Rui's head and smiled, "Of course it's true. Didn't mom promise Ruirui to take Ruirui to the amusement park? When did mom ever lie to Ruirui?"

Qin Ruo felt a little sad. For so many years, she had been busy working and earning money. She rarely had time to accompany Qin Rui, let alone go to the amusement park. Seeing how happy he was, she knew how much her son wished she could accompany him.

Qin Ruo helped Qin Rui pack up his small bag. Looking at her happy son, her heart felt bitter and sweet.

The mother and son held hands and Qin Rui chattered along the way. Qin Ruo could not help but feel even more sad. It had been a long time since she had seen her son so happy.

When they arrived at the amusement park, Qin Rui couldn't wait to point to the carousel and tell Qin Ruo, "Mom, let's play with this!"

Qin Ruo nodded and pinched Qin Rui's small nose affectionately. "Whatever Ruirui wants to play today, mom's with you."
