Xia Xin listened to what the man said and felt that her son was really a shrewd person. He must have said it on purpose to let her hear it.
However, her son being able to think for her everywhere proved that the little guy understood how to balance the relations.h.i.+p between adults. This was also something that one must learn when growing up.
After taking a bath, Xia Xinxin wore a white bathrobe and laid on the bed. She gently patted her son"s arm. The little guy didn"t want to sleep earlier, but now that his parents were by his side, he felt at ease.
A pair of large hands pushed open the bedroom door. Ji Mucheng walked in wearing a grey bathrobe. His tall body, wrapped in the bathrobe, looked even more imposing, giving people a feeling of invincibility.
Xia Xinyan"s heart slightly trembled and her breathing became heavier. She deliberately lowered her head, gently focusing her gaze on her son"s face.
"Is my son asleep?" The man asked, his voice low.
"En!" Xia Xinyan answered lightly.
Ji Mu Cheng stood on the edge of the bed, looking down on the mother and son. He then asked in a pleading tone, "Can I sleep here?"
Xia Xinyan froze for a moment, and then her pretty face turned red. She purposely said: "If I say no, will you leave?"
"Nope." The man answered very straightforwardly.
Xia Xinyan laughed angrily and glared at him, "Then why are you asking me? I knew you wouldn"t leave."
"I"m not such a scoundrel. I just promised my son that I would sleep here." The way that the man defended himself left him at a loss whether to laugh or to cry.
Xia Xin rolled her eyes at him. If it was before, when he wanted to sleep here, she would scold him as a hooligan.
But now, knowing that he was being shameless, she couldn"t resent him anymore. On the contrary, she actually hoped that he could sleep here.
"It"s almost dawn. If you want to sleep, then go to sleep." Xia Xinyan said in a low voice as she glared at him.
"Move your son aside." the man asked suddenly.
"Why?" Xia Xinyan"s heart skipped a beat.
"I don"t want to sleep with him." The man spoke so matter-of-factly.
If the little guy was awake at this moment, how would he feel?
"If you don"t hug him, then who do you want to hug?" Xia Xinyan asked angrily.
"Other than you, no one else wants to hug me." As the man spoke, he was already in bed.
Luckily, this bed was very big, and even if the three of them slept together, it wouldn"t be too crowded. Xia Xinxin was lying on the other side, when suddenly, a st.u.r.dy arm reached over, past her son, and grabbed her arm.
"I want to discuss marrying you with my parents tomorrow." Ji Mu Cheng turned off the lights in his bedroom. In the darkness, he became more stable and his voice sounded firm.
Xia Xinyan was shocked and she couldn"t help but turn her head to look at him. In the darkness, she could vaguely make out the handsome outline of a man. He seemed to be looking in her direction as well.
Xia Xinyan felt as if she was about to drown in her soul. She held her breath, and after a long while, she finally found her voice and said in a slightly hoa.r.s.e voice, "Isn"t it too fast? We haven"t even known each other for two months and you want to talk about marriage?"
"If we decide on a person, then time won"t be a problem. Yu Chen is already so old. If we don"t give him a home, then the longer he grows, the more self-abased he will feel. I know this feeling very well." Ji Mu Cheng sighed as he rested his arm on the bed.
"I seem to have heard that you followed your mother before and came back to your father later on." Xia Xinyan said in a low voice.
"Speaking of which, when my mother gave birth to me and my sister, I also didn"t know who my real father was. At that time, all I could remember was my mother, whether it was playing at school or at home with the children next door, I always had a restless feeling in my heart." Ji Mu Cheng closed his eyes and recalled the memories from his past life. Only then did he realize that being four to five years old meant that he really needed a sense of security. This sense of security must have come from his family.
"How can this be? So history repeats itself? " Xia Xinyan was shocked.
"I"m sorry, I was just drunk. I didn"t expect to get you to sleep." At this moment, Ji Mu City felt extremely guilty.
"Let"s not talk about this anymore. We won"t talk about it in the future." Xia Xinyan wasn"t unreasonable. It was just that she needed to vent her emotions when he appeared right in front of her.
"Very well, this can be considered to be fate bestowed upon us by the heavens. It just so happens that we have caught it." Ji Mu City was aware of this matter as well, and it was imperative that they forget about it. This was her scar, and she could not tear it away.
"Mm, go to sleep." Xia Xinyan nodded, this could be considered an agreement.
Morning!
The sun s.h.i.+ned brightly. Xia Xinxin opened her eyes and discovered that her arm was pressed down by a small head. Her back was pressed up against a firm chest. A buzzing sound rang out in her head.
Only then did he remember last night. He sneakily turned over and gave her a kiss, and immediately afterwards, he fell asleep beside her.
Xia Xinyan woke up, but didn"t dare to move. In front was her son, and behind him was a man who was still sleeping soundly.
She sighed. Was she supposed to continue pretending to be asleep?
She moved her arms, and suddenly the man behind her hugged her even more tightly. His chin was pressed against her shoulder, and his warm breath also burned her neck.
Xia Xinyan"s entire body trembled, and a strange ball of fire burst out from her body.
She suddenly felt a little hot. She could only gently grab his arm, wanting to push his hand away from her stomach.
"Are you awake?" The lazy voice of a man came from behind.
Xia Xinxin turned her head to look at him, only to discover that he had opened his eyes at some point in time. She smiled, "Good morning!"
Xia Xinxin pushed her son gently and sat up, embarra.s.sed. "I"m going to the bathroom."
The man immediately lifted his arm that was pressing down on her long hair. Xia Xin ran in as if he was escaping.
In the past when she lived with her son, she did not need to pay attention to her personal hygiene. Even when she was in a good mood, she could sing a song.
But now, she was in a dilemma.
Xia Xinxin stayed in the bathroom for a while, brus.h.i.+ng her teeth as she prepared to wash her face. Suddenly, the bathroom door was pushed open as the man smiled sinisterly, "I need to pee."
When Xia Xinyan heard this, she was so frightened that she hurried towards the door. However, the man grabbed her arm, "Don"t panic. We"ll get used to it sooner or later."
Xia Xinyan wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Could this man pay more attention? How could she be in the same s.p.a.ce as him?
"Well, I"ll go to my room, have breakfast, and come home with me." In the end, the man didn"t make things difficult for her and lazily turned around to return to his room.
