Lingya was originally standing.
Hearing her son's words, she squatted down, pressed her finger to her lips, and whispered, "Don't ask Teacher Xu about this. Teacher Xu probably doesn't know about your older brother's relationship with us yet. Your older brother must have his reasons for not saying anything. He will definitely tell us in a while."
Sen Sen was unhappy and pouted, asking, "When is 'a while'..."
“I bet it’s coming soon. I’m your older brother’s mother, and you’re his younger brother. Do you think he can hide his marriage from us forever?” Ling Ya looked down at the car that hadn’t driven away and muttered softly, “What are they doing in the car?”
Sen Sen tilted her head and looked at Ling Ya: "Why did my brother keep his marriage a secret from us? Will he... hate us?"
The child usually says he doesn't like Jiang Tingzhou, but when he asked this question, he looked very aggrieved.
"How could that be! Look how different our family's financial situation is from Teacher Xu's. Maybe we didn't tell her because we didn't want to put pressure on her."
Lingya comforted Sensen with the simplest of words she could think of.
Sen Sen still didn't quite understand, "Isn't our family very rich? Aren't we doing well?"
"Oh dear, that's why you're too young to understand. You'll understand when you grow up."
Lingya didn't care what the young couple was doing in the car, and stood up to walk towards the kitchen.
As she walked, she asked, "Sensen, what do you want for lunch? I'll order takeout for you."
Lingya is not good at and does not like doing housework, so the family hired a part-time housekeeper who comes to the house from Monday to Friday at noon to clean and cook lunch and dinner.
When the cleaning lady didn't come, she and Sen Sen ordered takeout together.
Inside the car.
Xu Wanxian confessed to Jiang Tingzhou: "I promised the child that I would come over at this time next week to help him with his homework."
"Again?" Jiang Tingzhou frowned slightly. "Once a first-grade student has mastered the basics, they won't need a tutor, right?"
When faced with strangers, Jiang Tingzhou doesn't mind making the worst assumptions about them.
Only by preparing for the worst can we better protect Xu Wan.
“I’ve been helping him develop a good habit of previewing his lessons these past few weeks, and we’ve agreed that he won’t need to go next month.” Xu Wan tucked a stray hair behind her ear. “Actually, the shop manager said she wanted to give me something today, but I refused. However, she’s been so kind to me that I’m a little overwhelmed.”
"Well, it's up to you to decide."
Although Jiang Tingzhou said this, he was actually a little worried.
He planned to tell Xie Ning tomorrow to find out who the owner of that flower shop really was.
Regardless of what help Xu Wan had given the store manager, the two were not very close.
Unsolicited kindness always made him suspect there was another reason behind it.
After driving the car out of the residential area, Jiang Tingzhou glanced at Xu Wan out of the corner of his eye and asked, "What do you want for lunch?"
"Let's go have our first hot pot of autumn? I've been craving spicy food lately." Xu Wan touched her belly. "Do you think I might be having a girl?"
"I really like girls."
Jiang Tingzhou drove, and Xu Wan came to find a hot pot restaurant.
She found a newly opened hot pot restaurant with high ratings through a review app and turned on navigation.
The hot pot restaurant was advertised as being not far from their location, but when they actually drove there, they found that the restaurant was located on a rather secluded side street.
Jiang Tingzhou drove around in circles for a while before finally finding the hot pot restaurant.
Upon arrival, we discovered that the reason this hot pot restaurant was in such a remote location was because it was a stand-alone building with its own courtyard, where parking was also available.
Just as Jiang Tingzhou was about to turn the car around and pull over, a person stumbled out of the alley next to her, lost their balance, and fell directly onto her car.
