Chapter 362 The Biggest Light Bulb
Chapter 362 The Biggest Light Bulb
Zhou Ning was caught off guard by the sudden news of the business trip.
Zhou Ning immediately went home to pack her things and prepared to meet another colleague at the airport.
When she got home, she didn't see Huo Qingzhou. She knew he was busy at the company at that time. The two little ones were taken out to play by Zhou Zhi, so Zhou Ning went straight to the bedroom and packed her things.
Fortunately, the business trip was not long, so Zhou Ning only had to pack up briefly.
Before leaving, he sent a message to Huo Qingzhou to inform him of the business trip.
After getting on the plane, Zhou Ning changed his phone to flight mode and could no longer receive messages. After getting off the plane, he became busy communicating with the local branch and was too busy to check his phone.
After returning to the hotel with his colleagues, Zhou Ning finally had time to take out his cell phone and check it. He received several inquiring messages from Huo Qingzhou.
Zhou Ning simply replied.
This time the company arranged double rooms for their employees on business trip.
While her colleague was taking a shower, Zhou Ning lay on the bed to rest.
Soon, I received a video call from Huo Qingzhou.
Zhou Ning answered it casually.
Unexpectedly, Beibei and Xixi's faces appeared on the phone screen.
The two little guys stared at the screen curiously. When they saw Zhou Ning, their eyes immediately became bright and they kept calling "Mommy Mommy".
Zhou Ning felt warm at heart after hearing this.
Xixi pouted unhappily: "Mommy, where have you been? I can't see you today."
Zhou Ning comforted him gently and briefly explained the business trip.
When Xixi learned that it was about work, she was unhappy, but there was nothing she could do.
He even said innocently, "Mommy, why don't you take me with you on your business trip? Xiao Xixi can help you with the work."
Zhou Ning smiled helplessly: "Mommy will be back soon. Next time I go out to play, I will definitely bring Xiao Xixi with me."
Xixi's mood gradually improved. Her slightly frowned brows relaxed, and she clapped her hands happily, sharing today's interesting events with Zhou Ning.
Beibei would occasionally say a few words.
Suddenly, Zhou Ning noticed that Huo Qingzhou's face appeared behind the two little guys, but the screen was so small that half was Beibei and half was Xixi, so Huo Qingzhou could only occasionally flash in the gap.
At this moment, Huo Qingzhou stood in front of the screen with a gloomy face. To be more precise, he was standing behind the two little guys.
Seeing the two little guys completely occupying the screen, each of them wanting to stick their head into the screen, not giving him a chance to show his face, his face became even gloomier.
"Okay, you guys have talked enough, I need to say a few words to my wife."
Beibei and Xixi shook their heads like rattles: "No, no, no, we haven't finished talking to Mommy yet."
Huo Qingzhou couldn't get it, so he could only look at Zhou Ning through the gap. Because he was anxious, he urged her again.
Xixi glanced at Huo Qingzhou mischievously: "Dad, Mommy and I have a lot to say, just wait in line and don't be anxious. It's not good to be anxious."
Beibei cleared his throat and added in time: "Dad, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
Xixi: "Hahaha, then Daddy can only eat cold tofu."
Huo Qingzhou was embarrassed and pursed his lips.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear Zhou Ning calling his name on the other end of the phone. Huo Qingzhou's eyes lit up, as if he had heard a divine call, and he immediately said:
"Hurry up and give me the phone. Your mother wants to talk to me."
Beibei and Xixi then reluctantly handed the phone to Huo Qingzhou.
Huo Qingzhou took the phone proudly, raised his eyebrows at Beibei and Xixi, then his eyes fell on the phone screen and immediately became gentle.
Seeing this, Beibei frowned slightly and sighed.
Huo Qingzhou stared at Zhou Ning on the screen seriously. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at her. As soon as he saw Zhou Ning's clear face, the feeling of missing her instantly emerged from his heart.
I wish I could fly there overnight.
"Why are you suddenly on a business trip?"
Zhou Ning could hear Huo Qingzhou's depressed tone through the phone screen, and explained: "It's not that I have no choice. Someone else was originally on a business trip, but who knew that this task would be assigned to me all of a sudden."
Huo Qingzhou only spoke a few words to Zhou Ning before Beibei and Xixi leaned over and kept interrupting.
In the end, Zhou Ning's attention was successfully diverted to the babies again.
Huo Qingzhou's face was filled with helplessness. He never expected that one day, his children would become his biggest light bulbs.
Realizing that Zhou Ning was about to end the video call, Huo Qingzhou's eyes tightened, and his face was full of reluctance, but knowing that Zhou Ning was very tired today, he responded with sympathy, and suddenly thought of something, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly:
"Ningning, when you come back, I will give you a surprise."
surprise?
After hanging up the video, Zhou Ning was still thinking about what Huo Qingzhou said, and was full of curiosity about the surprise the man mentioned.
Could it be that he bought something behind her back?
A colleague's voice suddenly came, interrupting Zhou Ning's thoughts.
"Zhou Ning, I'm done washing, you can go ahead."
Zhou Ning responded and prepared to find clothes to take a shower, when she heard her colleague continue to ask, "Were you talking to your husband and children on the phone just now?"
Seeing Zhou Ning nod, she smiled and said, "From the voices of your children, they must be very cute. You have such a good figure, I can't tell that you have given birth to a child. You look so young."
Zhou Ning smiled embarrassedly.
"Your husband is very good to you and even prepared a surprise for you..." Halfway through the conversation, the colleague realized something and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hear that."
Zhou Ning nodded to show that he understood. After all, the hotel room was so small that it was difficult not to listen.
When Zhou Ning went to take a shower, her colleague took a breath. She had vaguely heard Huo Shao's voice just now. She was so scared that she dared not breathe or disturb him, fearing that Huo Shao would blame her.
After taking a shower, Zhou Ning lay on the bed. Perhaps because she was tired, she soon felt sleepy. While looking forward to Huo Qingzhou's surprise, she fell into a deep sleep.
Little did he know that Huo Qingzhou was surrounded by two little guys.
Xixi put her hands on her hips, as if asking for a debt: "Daddy, tell us quickly what surprise you are going to give Mommy!"
Huo Qingzhou responded: "This is a matter between me and your mother."
Beibei: "Dad, I advise you to tell us as soon as possible. This is the best way to save time."
Huo Qingzhou's attitude remained the same.
But Xixi hugged his thighs and kept saying, "Daddy, my dear good daddy, I am your little Xixi, please tell me the surprise, I promise not to tell Mommy, I will be very good."
Huo Qingzhou just smiled and said nothing.
The two children kept asking questions, and he finally held his forehead and sighed, realizing that he had underestimated the children's curiosity.
Out of desperation, Huo Qingzhou could only make up an excuse to deal with the two little guys, and only with a sincere attitude did he manage to get away.
……
After the business trip, Zhou Ning did not go home first, but went back to the company with his colleagues to prepare to summarize the information collected during the business trip and submit it to his leader.
As soon as she arrived at the company, Zhou Ning immediately noticed that the atmosphere was not right.
Everyone looked nervous and excited.
When Lin Xin saw Zhou Ning coming back, she was very excited and followed Zhou Ning into her office.
As a result, when Zhou Ning just sat down and was about to drink water, she heard Lin Xin say that Huo Qingzhou would come to the company today.
