Chapter 1293: Thank You, Son
"Perfect, give me one as well, I’ll take a look. We’ll head out for exercise once the parents-in-law wake up." After saying this, Father Jiang also sat down on the sofa and picked up a newspaper to read.
Not long after waiting, the door to Mu Siwu and Bai Yuhua’s room opened, and the two walked out. Mu Siwu, who was at the back, was holding Little Reunion in his arms.
Seeing her son, Jiang Xue went forward to take him. The first thing she did was give him a big kiss, then said, "Son, mommy missed you!"
Little Reunion was a bit shy after being kissed and hearing his mother’s words. His tender red cheeks were quite lovely.
Looking up, he kissed Jiang Xue in return and softly said, "Mommy, I missed you too!"
Jiang Xue was surprised to hear her son say such a complete sentence so fluently. She had paid less attention to her son lately and hadn’t realized how smoothly he could speak now when she wasn’t looking.
It seems she had been negligent as a mother. She didn’t even know when her son had learned to speak so fluently.
Thinking about this, Jiang Xue looked apologetic and said to Little Reunion, "Son, I’m sorry, mommy has been neglecting you these days."
Upon hearing Jiang Xue’s apology, Little Reunion shook his head with a smile and said, "Mommy, I don’t blame you."
Her son’s thoughtfulness brought tears to Jiang Xue’s eyes. She leaned forward, rested her head on Little Reunion’s small head, and whispered a promise, "Son, in the future, mommy will try to spend more time with you."
"Okay!" Little Reunion nodded with a smile and wrapped his arms around Jiang Xue’s neck.
The elderly folks saw Jiang Xue getting close with her son, smiled, and went out for exercise together. Jiang Xue stayed at home to play with Little Reunion.
After playing for a while and noticing it was getting late, Jiang Xue didn’t wait for her parents to return. Instead, she asked Niu to bring out breakfast for her and the child, and the two had breakfast together.
Just after breakfast, Jiang Xue’s phone rang. Jiang Xue picked up the phone and saw an unfamiliar number. As she hesitated about whether to answer, Little Reunion beat her to it, pressing the answer button and mimicking Jiang Xue and them by saying hello.
Mr. Lan was surprised to hear a child’s voice. He pulled the phone away to check the number again, confirming it was Jiang Xue’s, then put it back to his ear and asked, "Hello, is Jiang Xue there?"
Upon hearing Mr. Lan asking for Jiang Xue, Little Reunion immediately handed the phone to Jiang Xue, saying, "Mommy, your phone!"
"Alright, thank you, son!" Jiang Xue smiled and thanked Little Reunion, then took the phone. On the other end, Mr. Lan was shocked to hear Little Reunion’s conversation and asked, "Jiang Xue, you have a child?"
It’s understandable that he was surprised; Jiang Xue was so young. She’s only twenty, while Ah Huan, who is thirty, is still unmarried. Yet, Jiang Xue, who is ten years younger than Ah Huan, already has a child.
"Who is this?" Jiang Xue was momentarily confused by the voice and was unsure of who it was. Luckily, Mr. Lan was only making an observation and didn’t want to discuss with Jiang Xue whether she had a child.
"My last name is Lan!" As soon as Mr. Lan mentioned his surname, Jiang Xue knew who he was. She smiled and asked, "Mr. Lan, do you need something from me?"
