"Oh, it's nothing. You can go now. Wait, I almost forgot something." Liu Erlong suddenly remembered that there was still one very important matter she had not handled, so she called them back.
"Dean, what is it?" Qin Ming asked doubtfully.
"Xiao Wu, come here." Liu Erlong smiled warmly and beckoned her over.
"Me? Dean, what do you need me for?" Xiao Wu walked over and asked in confusion.
The moment Xiao Wu stopped in front of Liu Erlong, Liu Erlong grabbed her left hand and asked with a smile, "Xiao Wu, I want to take you as my goddaughter. From today onward, stay by my side and keep me company."
"What? Goddaughter? Sister Xiao Wu, hurry and agree! The dean is a deity. With her protection, you won't have to fear bad people threatening you anymore, and no one will dare offend you." Ning Rongrong was stunned and anxiously urged her. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—she could not miss it.
"I-I... can I?" Xiao Wu stared blankly at Liu Erlong, unable to believe it.
Liu Erlong pulled Xiao Wu into her arms and said with a smile, "Silly child, what do you mean, can you or can't you? If I say you can, then you can. Who would dare question me?"
In Liu Erlong's embrace, Xiao Wu felt an overwhelming motherly love. Back then, she had grown up in her mother's arms just like this. She murmured, "Mom..." Her eyes were full of longing. A mother's embrace truly was different—warm and safe.
"Oh, my Xiao Wu, you called me Mom. What a good daughter." Hearing Xiao Wu say the word "Mom," Liu Erlong wept with joy. Xiao Wu had actually called her Mom—she had acknowledged their adoptive mother-daughter relationship.
"Congratulations, Dean. Congratulations, Xiao Wu."
