Chapter 43

In this parent-child game, the Shang Shu family took first place and received a heap of prizes prepared by the school.

By the time it ended, it was already one in the afternoon.

Parents led their children towards the door, but a few little girls didn't want to leave.

Shang Xi smiled as she watched the little girls trailing behind her son.

"Shang Shu gege, let's go play."

"Shang Shu gege, my house has lots of delicious food and fun things to do, do you want to come to my house to play?"

Upon seeing them, Shang Shu had shed his sweet demeanor in front of his mom a long time ago. Now, he had a stiff face, furrowed brows, and pursed lips as he said, "I'm not going."

"Why not, Shang Shu gege?" A little girl in a pink dress looked at Shang Xi, her voice sweet, "Auntie, you're so beautiful!"

Auntie...

Shang Xi smiled and replied, "Thank you, you're very cute too."

The little girl brazenly grabbed the hem of her clothes, "Auntie, can I take Shang Shu gege to my house to play?"

"This auntie can't make decisions either." Shang Xi glanced at her son and said, "I'll listen to him."

Her implication was that if her son wanted to go to this classmate's house to play, she had no objection.

But she wouldn't agree on behalf of her son.

The little girls exclaimed in admiration, "Shang Shu gege is indeed the best, even his mom listens to him."

...

It seems like her son is very popular.

At the school gate.

Rong Wen looked at the little girl, then glanced at Baby Shang who was surrounded by little girls not far away, and said helplessly, "Let's go home, be obedient."

His cousin had already rushed back to work at the company.

"He's about to be taken away!" The little girl stomped her foot, staring at Baby Shang with dissatisfaction, "He doesn't come to play with me, I hate him."

"Why wait for him to come play with you?" Rong Wen ruffled her hair and said softly, "You can go find him yourself."

"What about you, Dad?" The little girl suddenly looked up, staring at him seriously, "Why don't you go play with Aunt Shang Xi? Are you also waiting for her to come to you?"

Rong Wen didn't expect the little girl to suddenly say such a thing and was taken aback.

He pursed his lips slightly, looking ahead at the tall man next to Shang Xi.

It's funny, she hit the nail on the head. He and Shang Xi haven't seen each other for a month.

Over a month ago, Shang Xi once again earnestly rejected him. They had cleared things up thoroughly, and he did have some lingering resentment. So, he simply didn't go to see her again or contact her.

He harbored a slight hope that she would take the initiative to find him.

As a result, before she could even contact him, he saw her at this kindergarten.

After leaving the kindergarten, the three of them got in the car. On the way, Gu Wen didn't say a word.

When they arrived at Nanfeng Court, Shang Xi had a light meal downstairs and, upon entering the room, couldn't help but ask her son.

"What did your dad say to you just now?"

"Dad said you're tired and it's better to go home, eat something, and take a nap."

"..."

Shang Xi thought: Is she tired? She herself doesn't know if she's tired.

Maybe Gu Wen just didn't want to go out for a meal. If he doesn't want to, he can leave himself. There's really no need to come up with an excuse.

"What about you? Don't you want to play with Rong Xin? You haven't seen each other for a long time."

Baby Shang looked at the flowers in the glass vase and said, "Seeing or not seeing is fine."

Shang Xi was taken aback. "Mom used to see you two playing together and thought you got along well."

Back then, Shang Da-ge would often be around, bringing Rong Xin along. Being of the same age, the two kids naturally played together.

Shang Bao opened a small box and glanced at the little gift Dad had given her, saying, "It's because of that Uncle Rong, that's why her relationship with her is a bit better."

What?

Shang Xi was puzzled. "What do you mean?"

What was going on in this little guy's head?

Shang Bao blinked his big, dark eyes, then looked at her. "Don't you have Dad now? You don't need Uncle Rong anymore, right?"

Huh?

Shang Xi stared at her son for a moment, shocked that he, at such a young age, could understand so much!

He meant that when Shang Da-ge pursued Mom, he would accompany Rong Xin to play together, so their relationship could be better.

Now that Mom has Dad, she doesn't need other men pursuing her.

The way she and Gu Wen live now has naturally led to her son's misunderstanding.

Well, anyone would misunderstand in his shoes.

Shang Xi opened her mouth, deciding to clarify: "Sweetie, Mom and your Dad don't have that kind of relationship."

They'll be leaving in six months.

Shang Bao thought for a moment, then asked her, "Don't you like Dad?"

Shang Xi felt awkward. "Um, well."

Shang Bao nodded. "I understand. Then if Uncle Rong asks me out to dinner again, I'll say yes."

Shang Xi: "..."

No, you don't understand anything!

You don't understand at all!!
