Chapter 365: I Was Just Asking
Lu Sinian suddenly sat up from her arms, his eyebrows instantly lowered, and with a tense face, he asked, "Sister Tongtong is going to have a baby and become a mom?"
"No way!" Ji Niandong shook her head, "Didn’t I say I won’t have a baby with your dad for now!"
"I was just saying, how come..." Lu Sinian swallowed the "lied to me" part of his sentence, only to realize what Ji Niandong meant by asking him that, and raised his eyes to look at her, his expression becoming conflicted.
Ji Niandong sensitively caught the hesitance in his heart. Is he still unable to accept me as his stepmom?
It’s not that she had to mind, but today, Ji Guoqiang told Lu Sinian to deliver chicken soup to his mother!
The Little Bun seemed to naturally acknowledge it, only... is this little rascal trying to make the elders happy?
Ji Niandong forced a smile, "It’s okay, Nian Nian, Sister Tongtong was just asking casually. Um... your dad probably needs help in the kitchen, I’ll head out first!"
"Sister Tongtong!"
Upon hearing Little Bun’s shout, Ji Niandong stopped where she was, and Little Bun bit his lip, lowering his head and tugging at his clothes, "Sister Tongtong, if I didn’t have a mom, you’d be perfect! But... I know who my mom is, and I’ll reunite with her! Dad... promised!"
The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, and then he hurriedly added, "But I really like you, really really really like you!"
Ji Niandong took a breath and slowly exhaled shakily, turning to smile at him, "Well, Sister Tongtong likes you too!"
She slowly walked out, seemingly unbothered, but her heart was still quite upset.
What can she do? She’s not his biological mom, no matter how much she likes him, she can’t replace or make up for that!
Just let nature take its course!
Ji Niandong took a deep breath, then walked to the living room, silently reading her script, as quiet as if she didn’t exist.
Lu Sinian stood by the door watching her for a long time, then went to the kitchen. Lu Beichen saw him and said, "Kids shouldn’t be here, it’s dangerous!"
From the open kitchen, you could plainly see the person on the sofa in the living room. Lu Sinian glanced over and quietly said, "Dad, what if..."
"What?!"
"Never mind!" He waved his hand, what if you and Sister Tongtong have a baby? After all, I’m always your son, I’m not afraid you won’t care for me! But since you like Sister Tongtong so much, if she has a baby, you’ll probably love it very much too!
Love it more than you love me, right?!
Lu Sinian thought about it, still shook his head, then turned to leave, "By the way, Dad, I need to ask you something later!"
He stood next to Lu Beichen, who casually replied, "What is it?"
"I’ll ask later since you’re cooking!"
"Does cooking stop me from thinking?" It’s rare that this kid has questions for him!
"Wait a moment!" Lu Sinian scampered back to his room and came out holding a book, then handed it to Lu Beichen, "The circuit diagram is obviously correct, so why is there a short circuit?"
Lu Beichen just glanced at it and asked, "Isn’t this taught in middle school?"
"I was bored, so I borrowed it from the library!" Little Bun shrugged, "Elementary school books are too childish!"
"Look at the wire next to it!" Lu Beichen said directly!
Little Bun looked over, suddenly realizing, "Oh, I see! Dad, you’re amazing!"
Lu Beichen smiled at him, a hint of pride in his gentle smile, being praised by his son was truly more enjoyable than being praised by the veterans in the business world!
