Shen Xiaomin's back stiffened, and an unbelievable thought popped into his mind: Could it be that the baby likes him too?
No! How could that be! No one but Grandma would like him!
Even his parents who gave him life and raised him don't like him!
Shen Xiaomin thought it was impossible, but honestly asked, "What's so great?"
Yuan Jiang's delicate, luscious red lips curved slightly as she snuggled against him with obvious dependence, raising her bright, fox-like eyes to say, "I like you very much too."
“Minbao.”
Minbao...?
Shen Xiaomin was stunned, the jealousy and anger in her eyes vanishing instantly. She cautiously probed, "You said you like me?"
"And you still call me Minbao..."
“Yes, I like Minbao a lot too. At first, I didn’t know how to be honest with him and I struggled with it for a long time, but I didn’t expect that Minbao would like me too.” Yuan Jiang hugged him tightly without changing her expression.
Noticing the boy's shock and excitement, her fox-like eyes curved into crescents.
Yuan Jiang tiptoed and quickly kissed him on the chin: "Minbao, I admit that Gu Sheng was a factor in me being late to get home tonight, but I have no other connection with him, and I don't like him. The person I like is you."
His mind went blank with a buzzing sound. Shen Xiaomin smiled shyly with his lips curled up, the gloomy and cold man from before no longer present.
The baby has accepted him!
The baby likes him too!
Shen Xiaomin blinked, her face, hidden in the dim moonlight, flushed slightly with excitement: "Baby, let's go to sleep."
“…” Yuan Jiang hesitated for a moment: “I haven’t taken a shower yet.”
"Then I'll wait for the baby in bed, go on." Shen Xiaomin urged Yuan Jiang into the bathroom, picked out a black shirt from the closet, and knocked on the bathroom door: "Baby, wear my clothes."
There was a moment of silence inside, then a slender, fair hand reached out and took the clothes from Shen Xiaomin's hand.
The sound of water dripping from the bathroom reached Shen Xiaomin's ears through the crack in the door. He suppressed his wildly beating heart and glanced at the bathroom again and again with his bloodshot eyes.
I can finally sleep with my baby tonight!
If that wicked man Gu Sheng knew, he would be furious!
Shen Xiaomin covered her lips and chuckled, her eyes gleaming with pride.
Half an hour later, Yuan Jiang, petite in stature, emerged wearing Shen Xiaomin's oversized black shirt. She was small and thin, and the shirt looked like a child wearing an adult's clothes.
She revealed a pair of long, slender, and fair legs.
She walked to the bedside, lifted the blanket, and crawled in. Shen Xiaomin, who had been keeping his eyes closed, immediately opened them and reached out to pull Yuan Jiang into his arms.
Yuan Jiang felt a little guilty and said weakly, "How about we sleep together the day after tomorrow?"
"Hmm?" Shen Xiaomin nestled her head against Yuan Jiang's neck and asked in confusion.
"Yes, that's right, you're not quite there yet..."
Before Yuan Jiang could finish speaking, Shen Xiaomin chuckled and interrupted her, leisurely pinching her cheek and teasingly saying, "Baby, you didn't think I wanted...you tonight, did you?"
"That's why you were so nervous?"
Yuan Jiang swallowed hard, her red lips trembling slightly. Her face flushed red to the roots of her neck. She bit her lip and hummed, burying her head in the pillow. Her throat was hoarse as she said, "N-nothing."
"That's not what I thought!"
She clenched her fingers tightly, feeling nervous and ashamed. It was so wrong of her to have such filthy thoughts about Shen Xiaomin!
Shen Xiaomin's brows furrowed with a meaningful smile as he awkwardly wrapped his arms around her waist, his shy voice lingering in her ear:
"Ah... I see. I misunderstood you, baby."
"Sleep, sleep..." Yuan Jiang took two deep breaths, her wet eyes filled with shame and anger. She lay on her side with her back to Shen Xiaomin, clearly feeling her back pressed against his chest.
And that...
Yuan Jiang gritted her teeth. She was so thin, yet that area...
