C220 – Find an Excuse
“Why are you laughing? Something seems amiss!”
What’s wrong with this man? Instead of getting angry when scolded by me, he’s laughing. He used to get angry instantly.
“So, you believe I’m unwell.” I’d be content if that’s what you think.
Shang Cijie was seething with frustration. He felt a whirlwind of emotions, none of which were pleasant.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
Absolutely not. I can’t deviate from my plan and give him attention. I’ll remain as distant as I was in the beginning.
“Hurry up and locate your son. What are you waiting for?” He intentionally adopted a stern expression and tone.
Mu Sifa remained unfazed, “Alright, I’ll go find my son.” Before leaving, he bent down to kiss Shang Cijie’s forehead before exiting the room.
Shang Cijie was left in bewilderment, touching his lips for a while.
Being kissed on the forehead by Mu Sifa so gently?
Mu Sifa had caught him off guard once more. Shang Cijie had resolved to pull himself together.
He stooped down to pick up Shang Mingming and headed for their room.
“Did you find him? Why did it take you so long?”
Upon his return, Shang Cijie complained because Mu Sifa had been absent for more than ten minutes.
Mu Sifa always had an underlying fear when it came to finding someone, stemming from the past incident with Shang Cijie. However, he kept this concern to himself. Now that Shang Mingming had been located and Shang Cijie had returned, he felt content.
“The little one fell asleep in the small hall. I didn’t spot him at first, so it took me a while.”
Mu Sifa placed Shang Mingming on the bed but not in the middle where Wu Steel usually slept. Instead, he positioned the child beside Shang Cijie and nestled against Shang Cijie as they both drifted off to sleep.
Shang Cijie couldn’t possibly share a bed with Mu Sifa at such close proximity. He promptly moved Shang Mingming and separated the two.
“Little one, what would I do if I were to sleep in the middle?”
In truth, Mu Sifa just wanted to embrace Shang Cijie as they slept.
“Are you acting like a child?” Shang Cijie rolled his eyes at Mu Sifa.
“Well, then, consider me one.” Mu Sifa playfully pulled Shang Cijie into his arms. Unfortunately, poor Shang Mingming was once again overlooked.
