Chapter 189: The Third Master Is Nice
Su Xiyin stood by the window and took a look down, only to see An Yan pushing Jun Shiyan out. Then, she got in the car and let out a low sigh. She looked at her granddaughter, who was talking to Xiaoqi, not knowing what to say.
Ling Sheng had not seen her son in nearly two months. She had only seen him on video, but she had been unable to touch him. She hugged her son and kissed him repeatedly. She could not help that she had missed him.
Xiaoqi ran over to take his bag and took out a small box mysteriously. “Mommy, close your eyes.”
“What’s that? You’re so mysterious.” Ling Sheng closed her eyes obediently. The little fella messed up her hair for a while.
“Mommy, you can open your eyes now.” Xiaoqi pulled her nervously to the mirror and asked her with antic.i.p.ation, “Mommy, do you like it?”
Only then did Ling Sheng see that she was wearing a hair clip. It was a beautiful pink bow. She smiled as she lifted her son up and gave him a kiss. “I like it.”
Xiaoqi’s face flushed as he boasted. “Xiaoqi made it himself. Xiaoqi made it in a shop when Great-Grandmother took him out to play.”
Su Xiyin knew this. The others had all been little girls using hair clips and flowery hair accessories, while he had been the only guy there. He was very popular, and people liked to talk to him. The teacher had even complimented him for being the best.
Besides the hair clip, Xiaoqi had also made a porcelain cup himself. It was an irregularly-shaped cup—a child’s work. On it was a simple picture of his mother holding the child’s hand. He had also written the words “I love you”.
Ling Sheng could not bear to let go. While she was moved, she also felt that she was not qualified to be a mother. She had rarely been apart from her son, so logically speaking, she should have taken him out to play. Now, it was her grandma who had taken him out to play.
“Sheng Sheng, come and take a look at this tap!” Su Xiyin shouted.
Ling Sheng put down her son and ran to the washroom.
Su Xiyin closed the door and sighed, her face turning serious. “Tell me, what happened between you and Third Master Jun?”
“Grandma, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Ling Sheng was prepared to deny it. After all, she had not been caught.
“What’s going on? Grandma saw Third Master Jun leave in a car just now.” Afraid that her husband would hear her, Su Xiyin lowered her voice. “You still want to lie to your grandma? This room doesn’t belong to you. It belongs to that young lady, right? Grandma packed your luggage for you. This isn’t your luggage.”
Ling Sheng’s face was bitter, as she had miscalculated. She sniffled. “Grandma, actually… I…”
Oh my G.o.d, how should she explain?
Should she say that she liked the Third Master and wanted to be with him?
Or should she promise not to interact with him anymore?
“Do you like him?” Upon seeing her granddaughter’s conflicted expression, Su Xiyin frowned. “Do you know that your father doesn’t like Third Master Jun? Grandma doesn’t want you to suffer with him either. We can find any man. Has he been pestering you?”
Third Master Jun was not someone who would pester others. She wondered if she could find time to have a proper chat with him. If he really loved Sheng Sheng, he would let go.
“Grandma, not really. I like him too.” Ling Sheng lowered her eyes slightly, her voice quiet. “Third Master is very nice.”
“What’s good about him? Is it his legs or his face?” Su Xiyin had a mild temper, but this concerned her granddaughter’s happiness. She would not compromise or get angry. “Tell me, what’s good about him?”
