“Is that so?” Nie Chenglang hadn’t noticed it himself, and laughed, “Do you mean that I look a bit anxious?”

“No no no, that’s not what I meant at all!” Xu Chaomu laughed too.

The little fellow was hiding in Xu Chaomu’s embrace, playing with anything he could get his hands on, even a button being enough to entertain him immensely.

“Chaomu, haven’t you had breakfast yet? Are you hungry?”

“I had some water… But now that you mention it, I’m actually really hungry.”

“Then put him down, and I’ll take you to have breakfast. After that, we can come back here.”

“No, why don’t you go buy it for me, huh? Wouldn’t it be better to bring it here for me to eat?”

“I really can’t with you. Then wait here for me, don’t run around, I’ll be back. What do you want to eat?” Nie Chenglang asked.

“As long as it’s bought by you, I love it. If it’s made by your own hands, I’ll love it even more.” Xu Chaomu said with a mischievous smile.

“You sure know how to please someone,” Nie Chenglang laughed.

“Not at all, I’m just telling the truth. Rich Nie, that’s why you’re so popular!”

“You really know how to give me nicknames. One moment you call me Teacher Nie, another moment Rich Nie. Just call me Chenglang.”

“Alright… Chenglang, go and buy breakfast quickly, I’ll wait for you here. Oh, and buy one for him too.” Xu Chaomu pointed to the little rascal in her arms.

“Okay, don’t run around. By the way, memorize my phone number. If something happens, call me.”

Yesterday, Xu Chaomu had really scared him, and he thought, he wouldn’t leave her behind again.

Nie Chenglang tossed her a piece of paper with his phone number on it before he went to buy breakfast with peace of mind.

Xu Chaomu, holding the little fellow, smiled and waved at him.

Soon, Nie Chenglang turned the corner of a building, and his figure disappeared from sight.

In the sunlight, Xu Chaomu, holding a five-year-old child, radiated maternal warmth in her eyes.

“Little guy, you still haven’t told me your name.” Xu Chaomu looked down at the little brat in her arms.

Her arms were a bit sore from holding him, but she still wanted to keep him in her embrace.

In a few years, would she also have a cute child like him?

…Child…

In the future, whom would she marry? Who would want her?

“My name is Lulu, that’s my nickname. My parents are super lazy because when I was just born, all I could say was ‘lulululu,’ and as a result, they gave me the nickname ‘Lulu.’ It’s so annoying and sounds terrible.”

Lulululu?

Xu Chaomu laughed out loud.

“How come you speak English so well?” Xu Chaomu asked.

“My mom is French, and my dad is English. I can speak both English and French. I can also speak Chinese!”

“Hm? You can speak Chinese? What can you say?”

“Big sister, you’re so pretty. Auntie, you’re so pretty. Granny, you’re so pretty.”

Xu Chaomu’s face was lined with exasperation, “Besides those, what else can you say?”

“Big brother, you’re so handsome. Uncle, you’re so handsome…”

“Stop, stop, stop!” Xu Chaomu couldn’t listen any longer.

“Lulu, do you like your dad or your mom more?” Xu Chaomu quickly changed the subject.

“Mom.” The little guy answered without hesitation.

“Why?”

“Because my dad is too busy and never plays with me. I don’t like him anymore.”

“Dad is too busy? That must be because he’s busy making money. He needs to earn a whole lot of money to take care of you and mom, right?”

“I don’t want him to make so much money; I want him to play with me. I want him to play with me and mom together.”

At this, a trace of sadness appeared in the little guy’s eyes.

Xu Chaomu knew that, at this age, what children want most is to have their parents with them.

Her nose tingled with emotion. Without a father, she had never known what paternal love was.

At the age of ten, even the maternal love she had was gone.

Bai Man said that Zhou Ran had caused the death of her mother, and Shen Chi had not denied it himself.

Huh, her mother was killed by the Shen family, yet she had stayed in the Shen family for eight years without knowing anything.

Even more, she had loved the son of her enemy so deeply and unreservedly.

She was truly foolish, incurably so. And yet, all the kindness that man showed her was simply out of guilt.

At this thought, she stopped talking, her eyes suddenly red.

“Mean sister, what’s wrong with you? Why are your eyes red? Don’t cry, I won’t call you mean sister anymore… good sister…”

The little guy stretched out his plump little hand to Xu Chaomu’s eyes, trying to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes.

“Good sister, are you missing your dad and mom?”

Xu Chaomu wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and smiled, “The winter wind is too strong, it stings the eyes.”

“Shall I blow on them for you?” The little guy really got close to Xu Chaomu and blew gently for her.

Xu Chaomu thought, children really are so innocent.

The world of children is pure and beautiful.

Bathed in sunlight, she felt warm at that moment.

She wanted to live a good life, complete her studies, do things she loved, find someone who loved her, live together, and have a cute little baby.

To live a happy, simple life like that for the rest of her life.

When Nie Chenglang arrived, he saw Xu Chaomu and the little guy having a great time. He placed the breakfast on a bench and called them over.

“Come have breakfast, and after that, let’s build a snowman together!”

Nie Chenglang was treating Xu Chaomu like a child, but when he looked up and saw Xu Chaomu leading the little guy by the hand, he saw a womanly tenderness on her face.

The little guy was obediently led by her, their footsteps in sync as they walked forward together.

Nie Chenglang squinted, watching them quietly.

One so beautiful, the other so adorable, Nie Chenglang suddenly felt a sense of family.

“One two one, big sister, you got the step wrong!” The little guy instructed Xu Chaomu while marching.

“It’s you who’s wrong,” Xu Chaomu looked down.

“No, it’s you who’s wrong. Don’t believe me? Let’s do it again!”

“Let’s do it then. Watch closely, you’ll see it’s you who’s wrong.”

The pair marched towards Nie Chenglang, and within a few steps, they were in front of him.

Nie Chenglang noticed the little guy was all sweaty from playing and quickly pulled him to his side.

“Look at you, all sweaty. Hungry?” Nie Chenglang wiped the sweat beads off his forehead.

“I am, I didn’t have breakfast. Big brother, what yummy things did you buy?”

The little guy rummaged through Nie Chenglang’s bag, almost sticking his head into it.

Soon, he fished out an egg tart, but he still offered it to Xu Chaomu first.

“Big sister, you eat one first.”

“When did you become so well-behaved?” Xu Chaomu stroked his head.

“I’ve always been good.”

The little guy sat down on the bench and, pulling Xu Chaomu’s clothes, coaxed her to sit down too. He then consciously sat to one side, allowing Xu Chaomu and Nie Chenglang to sit next to each other.

Very understandingly, the little guy held a piece of pizza on the side, eating without disturbing Nie Chenglang from getting breakfast for Xu Chaomu.
