Chapter 377 Not His and Jiang Ning's Child
Shen Feiyang tilted his head, not quite understanding what was so special about a piece of candy.
But Jiang Ning clearly held onto this piece of candy very tightly.
An hour later, Shen Feiyang left Jiang Ning's house.
Outside the residential area, the dense banana leaves parted, and Lu Junyan peeked out.
He saw Shen Feiyang leave and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Looking into the distance, the bright glass windows of Jiang Ning's house suddenly went dark.
Jiang Ning should be asleep by now, right?
Lu Junyan stared intently at the dark window.
Inside the window, Xiaoman was sleeping soundly.
However, Jiang Ning couldn't fall asleep.
The crib was right next to her bed, and she could reach out and touch Xiaoman.
Normally, she would secretly poke Xiaoman's round, fair cheeks.
But she didn't tonight.
She was holding candy in her hand—
The candy that Lu Junyan gave her.
Even though her palms were red from being pricked by candy wrappers, she didn't let go.
From the darkness came her faint, bitter voice.
"Lu Junyan, why are you doing this to yourself!"
Jiang Ning slowly closed her eyes.
I was woken up by Xiaoman's crying.
Jiang Ning picked Xiaoman up from the crib and gently kissed her forehead.
"Mom...Mom..."
Xiaoman (the 14th solar term) turns tears into laughter.
He's a relatively easy child to coax. As long as Jiang Ning picks him up and kisses him, Xiaoman feels safe and stops crying.
"Are you hungry? Sit in your high chair and I'll go make you some baby food."
After settling Xiaoman in, Jiang Ning went to the kitchen to get busy.
There really wasn't much baby food left at home. If Lu Junyan hadn't bought it for her last night, she probably wouldn't have had any choice this morning.
Jiang Ning had just finished preparing the baby food and fed Xiao Man a couple of bites when the doorbell suddenly rang.
Jiang Ning got up and looked out through the peephole. Standing at the door was a man wearing a hat.
Although she couldn't see the face clearly, she recognized the deliveryman's uniform the other person was wearing.
"But I didn't order takeout!"
Jiang Ning muttered to himself, but still opened the door.
"Excuse me, did you deliver this to the wrong address...?"
Before he could finish speaking, the deliveryman in front of him looked up.
Jiang Ning was taken aback.
Seeing Jiang Ning frown, Lu Junyan felt a tightness in his chest.
She really doesn't want to see him!
"This... is your breakfast."
Lu Junyan held up the paper bag in his hand.
The words of refusal were on the tip of Jiang Ning's tongue, but after much hesitation, she still let Lu Junyan in.
Lu Junyan was probably afraid of being stopped at the door by her, which is why he deliberately disguised himself as a food deliveryman.
Jiang Ning was both amused and exasperated.
When did Lu Junyan develop such cunning?
As soon as Lu Junyan entered the room, he saw Xiaoman licking her lips.
Last night, Xiaoman was being held by Shen Feiyang, so it didn't get a chance to observe Xiaoman's facial features closely.
Now that he had the chance, he couldn't help but stare at Xiaoman's face.
Most babies look alike because they are still very young.
Xiaoman is now one year old. His features are gradually developing. Although he is a boy, he is as cute as a little girl. You can see some of Jiangning's features in him.
Lu Junyan squatted down and noticed that there was a half-eaten baby food on the small dining table.
"Oh, so you were feeding Xiaoman. Sorry to bother you."
Lu Junyan turned to look at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning was taking out the breakfast that Lu Junyan had bought for her one by one. When she got to the last item, she found a piece of candy in the paper bag.
It was different from the one from last night, but it was the same kind that Lu Junyan had given her when she was in solitary confinement at the juvenile detention center.
Jiang Ning held the candy, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
She really wanted to tell Lu Junyan: Don't waste your energy anymore.
She is now raising Xiaoman alone, and her life is fulfilling and free.
She doesn't want anyone to get involved in her life again.
Even if it's Xiaoman's biological father.
Moreover, she has always kept in mind what Lu Yexiong said to her.
Perhaps, she and Lu Junyan are truly destined to be incompatible!
Even if it's for Lu Junyan's own good, he should be kept away from her.
Despite her unwavering resolve, Jiang Ning simply couldn't bring herself to tell Lu Junyan to leave.
At this moment, she saw Lu Junyan pick up the baby food bowl, pick up a small noodle with his chopsticks, and feed it to Xiaoman.
"Let me do it!"
"No need... You go eat, I'll feed Xiaoman."
"you……"
"Don't worry, I still know how to feed children."
As Lu Junyan spoke, he scooped up another spoonful of spinach puree.
Jiang Ning wanted to remind Lu Junyan that Xiaoman didn't like eating vegetables, especially spinach.
But in order to prevent Xiaoman from being a picky eater, she would still force-feed Xiaoman a few bites. Sometimes Xiaoman would protest angrily and even spit out the spinach puree she had eaten.
Just when Jiang Ning thought Lu Junyan would be covered in spinach puree by Xiaoman, Xiaoman actually opened her mouth wide and ate the spinach puree in one bite.
"Xiaoman is such a good girl, she's not picky about food!"
Lu Junyan reached out his big hand and patted Xiaoman's little head.
"ah……"
Seeing that Xiaoman opened her mouth again, Lu Junyan fed her another bite of spinach puree.
Jiang Ning was stunned by what he saw.
She had no idea that her one-year-old son already knew how to treat people differently based on their status.
For Xiaoman, Lu Junyan was a stranger.
So, was Xiaoman afraid or wary of Lu Junyan, which is why she didn't dare to spit out the spinach, or was she captivated by Lu Junyan's good looks?
Jiang Ning, puzzled, began to observe Xiaoman.
When Xiaoman was born, she had single eyelids, but as she grew, they became double eyelids, and her eyes became bigger and bigger, looking watery, as if there were stars and the sea inside.
Jiang Ning noticed that Xiao Man seemed to really like Lu Junyan, and kept staring at him with wide eyes.
He ate the complementary foods that Lu Junyan fed him, whether it was spinach or something else, with great relish.
Jiang Ning felt as if the softest part of her heart had been touched.
It hurts a little...
It even made her want to cry.
Jiang Ning quickly lowered his head, pretending that he was eating breakfast.
Lu Junyan was so focused on Wei Xiaoman eating complementary foods that he didn't notice Jiang Ning's unusual behavior.
"Come on, eat more, so you can grow taller."
Xiaoman looked at Lu Junyan and smiled.
Lu Junyan was actually smiling at Xiaoman, but he didn't realize it himself.
It's clear that Xiaoman likes him a lot.
Lu Junyan also likes Xiaoman very much.
Because Xiaoman is a child from Jiangning.
However……
The thought that Xiaoman's father was Shen Feiyang caused Lu Junyan's smile to gradually fade.
Why... isn't this child his and Jiang Ning's child?
Lu Junyan felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.
Perhaps a person's life is about paying the price for their past mistakes.
Lu Junyan was clutching a small spoon in his hand. If he hadn't heard Xiaoman's voice, he probably would have broken the spoon.
"dad……"
Jiang Ning, who was eating a pancake, suddenly looked up.
Lu Junyan was also shocked and stood there stunned.
"What...what did you call me?"
