Jiang Yao crept back to his bedroom. Just as he was about to go to bed, Jiang Man's phone suddenly rang. She took a look at it and saw that it was an unfamiliar cell phone number, afraid that it would disturb Jiang Man's sleep.

A few seconds later, the phone rang again. He picked it up angrily and asked in a low voice, "Hello, may I know who you are looking for?"

Qin Zhi Yuan, who was on the other side of the phone, was stunned. He thought he could hear his dreamy voice, but he did not expect it to be the soft and gentle voice of a child.

"I'm looking for Jiang Man."

Jiang Yao raised his eyebrows, "Why are you looking for my mother?"

"Manman is your mother?" Qin Zhi Yuan's hand that was holding the phone trembled, and the phone almost slipped.

Manman, you call it so intimate? Could it be my mother's friend? But if he was his mother's friend, why didn't he know about his existence? His expression was one of shock.

"My mother is sleeping. May I ask why you are looking for my mother? "If you don't tell me, I'm going to hang up."

Qin Zhi Yuan didn't know what to think at the moment, he thought that these were all just rumors, and were all deliberately slandered by others. He didn't think that these were all true, that his girl already had a child, and listening to this child's voice, her speech was very clear, and she was not young.

Qin Zhi Yuan felt as though his heart had suddenly been cut open, a gloomy and cold wind continued to pour into it, so cold that he could not help but shiver.

Why didn't you say anything?

Jiang Yao called out again. Seeing that there was no response, he hung up again.

Jiang Man slept until around five in the afternoon before waking up. Looking at the little guy's clean and tender face in her arms, she couldn't help but give a little kiss on his little face.

Jiang Yao opened his eyes, "Mom, what are you doing?

"Because I suddenly realized that our Yao Yao is a rarely seen handsome little guy."

"That's the truth." Jiang Yao said calmly.

"Aiyo, our little darling is really confident." Jiang Man pinched the little guy's face.

"Mom, can you stop pinching my face? I'm a man now."

"Look at you, little man, lying next to me."

Jiang Yao unhappily curled his lips, remembered that strange phone call just now, and said: "Mom, when you were sleeping, there was a man who called you, but when I asked him who he was, he did not answer."

"Don't I have any comments on my phone?"

"No, it's an unfamiliar number."

"Then don't worry about him. I think he made the wrong call."

"But he called you Manman."

"Ah, did he call me that?"

Jiang Yao nodded, he took the phone and looked at the caller ID, and was immediately stunned, the number had not changed for many years, it was just that he had messed up the number, he had just changed her phone not long ago, he did not expect him to contact her now.

Qin Zhi Yuan, the man she once thought would keep walking with him.

"Mom, do you know who it is?"

Jiang Man nodded her head. After so long, she had already seen through some things, she had a child and was now married. It was time for both of them to start a new life.

After all, they had grown up together, so there was no need for them to continue this stalemate. She patted the little guy's head and said, "Yao Yao, this is an old friend of mother's. If you call her in the future, just have a good chat with her."

"Is this a man who's important to you?"

Jiang Man sighed, "In the past, mother did something that hurt him, I feel very guilty towards her."

Although Jiang Yao did not understand what he said, he still had to listen to her. "Alright then, but mother, in your heart, is he more important or is the Uncle Lu more important?"

The little guy's casual question stunned Jiang Man. They were two completely different people, one was his past, the other was her husband. Someone who would accompany her for the rest of her life, couldn't even be compared with the other, "Little kids shouldn't worry so much about adults."

"Again."

"Alright, darling. Let's go out and buy food. Mom will make you something nice to eat tonight."

"Forget it, I have no hopes of your cooking. We might as well order takeout."

"Is there anyone who despises your mother as much as you do?" You have to give me some confidence. "

"This sort of thing is about talent. If you don't have any, then forget it."

"Jiang Yao."

Jiang Yao compromised, "Alright, let's go to the supermarket to buy groceries."

"That's good then."

Jiang Man brought Jiang Yao out to look at the supermarket. When they came out, the mother and son duo each carried a bag with them, the little guy had quite a bit of strength, and was a good helper for Jiang Man.

The mother and son duo chatted as they walked, a bright smile on their faces.

Qin Zhi Yuan had been waiting at their doorstep the entire time, and seeing familiar people slowly walking into his field of vision, he felt that even his breathing had stopped, and he shouted with a hoarse voice: "Manman."

Jiang Man also immediately saw the person at the door. Many years had passed, and he was still the handsome man from his memories, always able to wear white shirts with a special charm. He did not expect that after changing into a suit, he would still look so charming.

She opened the door to allow Qin Zhi Yuan in, and then ordered Jiang Yao to enter the room. The little guy only took a glance at Qin Zhi Yuan before entering.

Qin Zhi Yuan stared at Jiang Yao's appearance, and laughed bitterly: "Manman, your son is very handsome."

"Thank you, Zhiyuan. When did you come back?"

"I just got off the plane today."

"Oh."

After their short conversation, the two of them fell into silence. Jiang Man tightened the grip she was using to punch him on the side, and when Qin Zhi Yuan saw her acting this way, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

However, at some point, he lost her. When they met again, even the most ordinary of interactions became uncomfortable. This was all extremely ironic.

"Manman, we've become strangers."

"Zhiyuan, we haven't seen each other in years. It's normal for us to become strangers. Did something happen for you to come over?"

Qin Zhi Yuan looked at Jiang Man steadily, "Is there nothing else, so I can't come and see you."

"Zhiyuan, you know that's not what I meant."

Qin Zhi Yuan looked at Jiang Man, and said word by word: "Manman, tell me … if we had not dissolved our marriage back then, what would have happened if I had not left you?"

Hearing that, Jiang Man's eyes revealed a deep pain, her throat was choked with emotions, "Zhiyuan, all of this is a thing of the past, let's not bring it up anymore."

Qin Zhi Yuan could no longer control his emotions, and excitedly held Jiang Man's hand: "Manman, I regret it now. I should not have left you alone, I should have brought you away."

Jiang Man withdrew her hand from Qin Zhi Yuan's grasp and looked at Qin Zhi Yuan seriously, "Zhiyuan, your choice is correct. I have never resented you."
