(ch.76)

Yu turns to Yue and said "Yes, baby," in a calm and sweet tone, which made the parents even more confused and surprised. Yue raise her arms so Yu picked her up and put Yue on her lap. Yu saw that Yue looked sleepy so she laid Yue down, put her left arm under Yue's neck while the bottom is still on Yu's lap, after a few minutes Yue fell asleep.

"Yu, is this Xaing and your child? Why didn't you guys tell us?" in a shocked tone while they staring at Yu.

"Well short story, I found her a week ago and the police is still looking for her mom so I guess you can say I'm her foster mom. Does that make sense?" Said Yu in a tired tone as she did a big sigh.

"Oh, that means sense. Have they found her mom yet?" asked Xaing's mom in a worried. Yu shook her head with a sad expression.

"But I'm fine with it because she's pretty cute and she's a good girl too," she commented in a happy tone as she gave a warm smile at the parents.

Yu's mom made a serious expression and then said "Yu, it's nice to know that you're taking care of her but you can't get attached to her," in a worried tone.

Yu asks "Why?" in a confused tone

Her mom said "Because what if she and you get attached to each other and when they found her mom, you guys don't want to leave each other, then what will happen?" in an upset and worried tone as she gently put her hand on top of Yu's hand.

Yu was silent for a few seconds but then she said "Well if they do find her mom, I'm sure she'll be happy to go back to her mom," in a happy tone as she looks at the ground while holding back her tears. "Ma, we're going to leave now, thanks and bye," as she stands up while she put her hand under Yu's bottom, grabs the diaper bag with the other hand, and begins to walk to the door.

"Honey, are you sure you don't want to spend the night or eat dinner with us?" in a worried tone as she stood up.

"It's ok, I don't want to bother you guys anymore and we already ate, have a goodnight ma and bà," then she walks out of the door, and then closed the door.

"Was I too harsh," said Yu's mom in a confused tone as Yu's mom looked back at Xaing's parents and Yu's dad, they shrugged.

While Yu was driving tears were rolling down her face. Yu was so busy have fun with Yue that she totally forgot that one day Yue might have to go back to her mom. Yu try not to cry too much as she drove but tears just kept rolling down, as she was driving as a thunderstorm started. When they enter their apartment, she put the diaper bag on the kitchen counter, Yu walks to her shared room to put Yue into her crib. Yu walked to the living room, sat on the couch, turn on the TV to watch 'My Super Lover' while she uploads the second part of the Q&A video. After she uploads the video, she grabs her laptop and begins to work.

Around 10 p.m. Yu got done writing some chapters she went to cook something for Xaing to eat when he comes home. When she was done she went to sit on the couch and starts to think about what her mom said again which made Yu start to cry all over again, she cried even harder but she couldn't help it. Yu realized that she had fallen in love with Yue like her own child and she knows when Yue's real mom comes back to get Yue, she is going to have to let go of Yue. As Yu kept thinking about it more, the heartbroken she gets but she knows that Yue's mom probably misses her baby.

Yu continued to cry for an hour, after an hour Yu wipes her tears away, she decided that she will love Yue as one of her aunties. Yu got up from the couch, begin to walk to the bathroom to do her night routine, then to her shared bedroom. She got changed, then she walked over to Yue's crib, she looks at her and said "I love you so much but I want you to be happy with your mom too so let's hope your mom comes to get you soon," in a sad but also excited tone as she rubs Yue's left cheek for a few seconds. Yu got into bed and went to sleep.

Xaing came home and he heard Yu say "Let's hope your mom comes you soon." Xaing was so confused because he knows Yu love Yue as her own child, just as he was in thoughts he got a call from his mom so quietly step out of the apartment to answer the call.

"Hello, ma," in a happy tone.

"Hello baby, can I asks you something?" in a soft tone.

"Go ahead," in a calm tone.

"Is Yu ok?" she asks in a quiet and worried tone.

"She seems sad, why" in a confused tone.

"Oh her mom and she had a little talk about the girl that is living with you guys. I think her mom said something that made her mad or sad so Yu left," in a calm tone.

"Do you remember what exactly what her mom said or at least some of the words," in a worried tone?

"I think she said something Iike "what if her mom comes back to get her and the little girl and you are attached to each other, then what will happen," something like that," in a sincere tone.

"Can you remember what Yu said?" in a confused tone.

"I think she said "Well if that does happen then I'm sure that she'll be happy with her mom," she kept looking at the ground and she tried to sound happy but I could tell that she was about to cry and then she left,'' in a sincere tone.

"Ma, I have to go now, thanks for the information, bye ma I love you," then Xaing hung up. Xaing sigh and went back into their apartment. He saw what Yu cooked so he quickly ate, did his night routine, did a little bit of work, turn on the lamp, then he got into bed with Yu. When he was laying next to Yu he saw that Yu's eyes were puffy he rubs her left cheek and eyelids, he whispers "Baby, I know it's going to be hard to let go of Yue once they find her mom but you'll have to sooner or later. If you want to we can have our own kids," in a soft tone, he kisses her forehead, cheeks, and lips, then he turns off the lamp and went to sleep.

...

In the morning, Yu woke up to a dark, gloomy, rainy day. She looks around and there was nobody in the bedroom, she got up to see if Yue was still sleeping but when she looked Yue wasn't in her crib. Yu slowly walk out of the bedroom, as she walking she's listening to see if she can hear Yue or Xaing but the only thing she can hear is rain. She looked everywhere but there's was no one home except her. Yu took her phone to start to call Xaing a few times but he didn't answer. She sat down on the couch and went on her phone as she waits for Yue and Xaing to come home. As she was scrolling through Webio then she got a call from her boss, she answered.

"Yes boss," said Yu in a calm tone.

"Yu come to my office tomorrow at 10 am," said her boss in his emotionless tone.

"Ok sir," in a calm tone, then he hung up. Yu wonder why does she have to go to the company tomorrow morning, she rarely goes to the company. Yu had so many thoughts but in the end, she just stopped thinking about it and continue to look through social media. After an hour, Xaing and Yue enter the apartment, Yu turns her head to look at Yue and Xaing. She asks "Where did you guys go," in a calm voice as she begins to stand up.

Xaing said "Oh we went over to Sun and Ming's apartment, to talk about work," in a contentment tone as he taking off his shoes.

Yu said "Oh ok," as Xaing help take off Yue's shoe and Yu turn off her phone. She got up, walk towards them with her arms spread out, Xaing thought she was going to give him a hug so he spread out his arms with a smile on his face. Xaing was about to hug Yu but then Yu bent down to hug Yue so Xaing ends up hugging the air. He was so speechless as he was still hugging the air as Yu was carrying Yue past him to go sit on the couch with Yue.

Xaing put his arms down, walked to sit with Yu and Yue. They begin to watch movies together, as they were watching the movie, there was a knock at the door so Xaing got up to open to the door. Xaing saw Ming and Sun at the door, he invites them in, they all start to watch the movie together. Yu whisper to Ming "What are you doing here?"

Ming said, "Oh I came to see how you and Yue are doing."

"Can I asks you a favor," asks Yu. Ming turns her head to look at Yu face to face, Ming made a confused face.

She was silent for a moment, then said "Depends what it is."

"Ok can you babysit Yue tomorrow because I have to go to my company tomorrow at 10 am," noted Yu in a calm voice.

"Yu, I would love to but I have to go somewhere tomorrow," in an apologetic tone.

"No, it's fine," in a reassuring tone, they all continue to watch the movie. After an hour Yu gave Yue to Ming as Yu got up, Yu went to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat, Yu saw there's chicken so she took it out of the fridge. She starts to cut up things and cook them, Ming saw that Yu was cooking, she asks "Yu do you need a hand?" Yu shook her head.

"Are you sure?" Yu nodded and said "You're a guest so you should just relax," so Ming went back to watching TV. After 30 minutes Yu was done, she told everyone to come to eat so Xaing turn off the TV, they all went to the kitchen table, and begin to eat as Yu fed Yue first. When all of them were done eating Ming offers to help Yu by washing the dishes, as Ming was washing the dishes Yu clean up the kitchen. When they were done they went to see where the boys and Yue were, they found the boys in one of the extra bedrooms playing games on the TV together but Yue wasn't with them. Yu asks "Xaing, where is Yue," in a curious tone.

"She's right here," said Xaing as he tilted his head to the right of him as he kept his eyes on the game.

"Where," in a confused tone as Yu looked around him.

"Right her-" in a disgruntled tone as he turns his head to his right but stopped what he was going to say. He begins to look around him and said "I swear she was just sitting here with us," in an enigmatic tone as he stops to look at Yu. Yu rise one eyebrow with her arms crossed as she glared at him. Xaing knew that expression that Yu made, which means he has 15 seconds to find Yue or he gets to see the side that Yu rarely show unless she's very, very disappointed or mad.

Xaing quickly ran to find Yue, in 10 seconds he found Yue in their bedroom playing on his phone, he yelled out "I found her, I found her!!" in a joyful tone. Yu walked over to where Xaing was yelling from, she saw Yue sitting on their bed looking at Yu, Yu said "You're lucky this time," and went to pick Yue up. The whole time Ming and Sun were watching them, they begin to laugh at what just happened, Xaing said "Stop, it's not funny," in a very serious tone as he walks back to resume the game and Sun follows behind Xaing.

Later when it was 9 pm, it was a dark, and quiet night, when Ming and Sun went back to their attention. Yu was busy making Yue sleep, she cradles Yue, she sat on the edge of the bed, she gently set her on her bottom. When Yu got Yue to sleep, she put her into the crib, Yu went to sit on the bed with Xaing. Yu said "We need to talk," in a serious tone.

Xaing put his phone down, turn to face Yu, and said "Why," in a confused tone.

"Are you free tomorrow," in a curious tone

"No, I have to go to my company's studio. Why?" noted him in a confused and curious tone.

"Oh because tomorrow I'll have to go to my company to talk with my boss," in an annoyed tone.

"Oh why don't you just bring her with you to your company?"

"Because they don't allow little kids," noted Yu.

"Well even I could bring her, people will question why I have Yue with me, we haven't revealed that we're dating," said Xaing as he grabs Yu's hands to hold them.

"I know but what am I going to do, I already text our parents to see if they can babysit her but they said they're going on a business trip, Jing and Li said they are really busy with work, same with Ming," said Yu in an upset and nervous tone.

"You should go to sleep, let's talk about it in the morning, ok," said Xaing in a calm tone as he made Yu laid down. Yu nodded, Xaing laid too, he put the blanket over Yu and himself, he kissed her on her forehead, said goodnight, he turns off the lights, and they went to sleep.
