Chapter 548: My Pride
“What if I fall asleep?” Ling Sheng’s voice was lazy as she leaned against him and looked at the snow. Her eyelids started to flutter.
“It’s alright. You’ve already completed a week’s tasks ahead of time. The teacher will allow you to rest for a while.” Jun Shiyan’s voice was gentle and hoa.r.s.e as he smiled.
“You’re lying to me. Am I that impressive?” After saying that, Ling Sheng started acting smug again. She looked at him smugly. “Am I that impressive?”
Upon seeing the young lady’s glowing confidence, Jun Shiyan nodded. “You’re super impressive. You’re the smartest person I’ve ever met.”
Ling Sheng was embarra.s.sed by the compliment. She buried her face in his shoulder and smiled secretly. “I’ll feel proud if you praise me like that.”
Jun Shiyan let out a low laugh. “You are my pride.”
“Tell me, who taught you these sweet words?” Ling Sheng pretended to be serious as she looked into his eyes, her heart warming up.
Oh my G.o.d, how could this man say such sweet nothings? The key was that he did not seem to know what he had said. Being seductive without knowing it was the highest realm of an egregious flirt!
“Is there a need to learn this?” Jun Shiyan looked at the young lady. “When I’m with you, everything I say comes from the bottom of my heart.”
“Shh!” Ling Sheng pointed at Xiaoqi, refusing to let him speak anymore. Her face was red. She could not let this continue. After all, her son was still beside her. It wasn’t right for them to do this!
Jun Shiyan nodded and tersely acknowledged this. In a low voice, he said, “Take a nap!”
Ling Sheng lacked sleep to begin with. Two days after she had returned from filming, she had been forced to start her tutoring sessions. At 6:30 in the morning, her grandma had to repeatedly wake her up.
It would be strange if she did not fall asleep in such a comfortable environment. She was still watching the snow, so she did not know when she fell asleep.
When she woke up, she was still huddled against the bay window. She looked across from her and saw the man wearing gold-rimmed gla.s.ses. His fair fingers were holding a fountain pen as he graded the test papers.
Xiaoqi ran in and reported excitedly, “Mommy, Uncle Jun, the fried meatb.a.l.l.s the grandma next door just brought are still hot!”
Ling Sheng got up hurriedly to take a look before running barefoot.
When she walked past the desk, the man suddenly grabbed her arm and forced her to sit on a chair. He put a pair of furry slippers on her feet and tidied her messy hair seriously before nodding in satisfaction. “Go!”
When Ling Sheng and Jun Shiyan went out, the old granny was still standing at the door, carrying a big bowl of fried meatb.a.l.l.s. Upon seeing the two of them, she handed it over and smiled. “They were just fried. Eat them while they’re hot.”
“Thank you, Auntie.” Ling Sheng thanked her hurriedly. The lady was already very old, yet she’d still brought them food. She felt touched.
“No need to thank me. Your son is really well-behaved and sensible. He’s really handsome too.” The old lady took a look at the child and then at Jun Shiyan. “He really looks like Daddy.”
Xiaoqi looked at the old lady with big eyes, pursed his lips, and lowered his eyes slightly. He was both a little happy and sad.
Uncle Jun was not his father.
Jun Shiyan could sense the child’s low spirits instantly. He knew that he was young, but he knew a lot. He must have gotten sad again. He smiled and said, “All children look like their fathers.”
The old lady nodded in agreement. After confirming that the young couple in front of her had not recognized her, she felt a little strange. “Then eat while the food is hot. I need to go back and see the old man. I can’t even leave for a while.”
