Our eyes met, and my heart skipped a beat, but I quickly calmed it down and started eating.
I got up early today, and Kang Kang followed me around all morning. After lunch, he started rubbing his eyes, wanting to sleep.
I whispered to Su Shenglin, "The child is sleepy, let me take him home first."
Su Shenglin raised his wrist to check the time; it was one o'clock in the afternoon. "Okay, then I'll take you back."
He stood up and went to explain things to Madam Su and her parents.
Mrs. Su said reluctantly, "There are places to sleep here, so we don't necessarily have to go back."
I know they are reluctant to part with their child and would love to keep the child here.
But this was not in my plan.
"Madam, we can have Sheng Lin pick up the child when we have time tomorrow or the day after." That was the only way I could say.
Since they like children and didn't show any hostility towards me, I decided to go along with it and be a good person.
It's always a good thing to have more elders who love and care for a child.
Madam Su was about to persuade them further when Mr. Su raised his hand to stop her, saying, "Sheng Lin, you should take them back."
“Hmm,” Su Shenglin replied, picked up his son, and nodded slightly as he passed me. “Let’s go.”
I politely nodded to the two elders of the Su family as a farewell, then turned and followed them.
After getting into the car, Su Shenglin asked, "Shall I take you back to your friend's house?"
"Yes."
"Where have you been planning to stay since you came back? If you're not leaving anytime soon, why don't you stay at my lakeside villa? It's more spacious there, and it'll be easier for our son to play."
After explaining all this, he added, "If I go back there, I'll let you know in advance so it won't affect you."
I pursed my lips slightly, not quite understanding what he meant.
According to Chen Muxi, he definitely wants to rekindle their relationship.
But he was so polite and distant towards me, just like he would treat a friend, and it seemed like there was no romantic feeling between us.
"I don't need it for now, I'll be staying at a friend's place."
I refused outright, and he fell silent, not trying to persuade me any further.
My heart started pounding again.
Is she angry?
My son quickly fell asleep in my arms, his head tilted to the side and his little mouth slightly open. I closed his mouth, moved my arm, and tried to change his sleeping position while holding him.
Su Shenglin immediately reached out and said, "Let me carry him; he's quite heavy."
I was about to say no, but he had already reached into my arms.
I had no choice but to let go and hand the child over.
During this process, we were extremely close, so close that our heads almost touched.
What's even more embarrassing is that when he reached under my arm to take the child, his entire palm brushed across my chest.
My body stiffened, and I subconsciously frowned.
He realized it too and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry..."
"No, it's okay." I let go and let him take the child away, then awkwardly tugged at my clothes, my cheeks already starting to feel hot.
