…But it’s impossible…

Even if it was impossible, she didn't want to be called "mother" by four children in front of the person she fell in love with at first sight!

But the reality was so cruel, and the children's repeated calls of "Mom" brought her back to reality.

How she wished there was a crack in the ground for her to crawl into and escape this embarrassing situation.

When the man heard the word "mother" repeatedly, he was stunned at first, and then a complicated expression appeared on his face.

His eyes fell on the four children, with a little surprise and confusion, and then he looked at Su Panpan with a meaningful look. He also felt the subtle changes in his heart.

Su Panpan pretended to be calm, walked quickly towards the children, and said with a smile, "I'm coming, I'm coming!" She gently touched the children's heads, her eyes full of helplessness and pampering.

The two Zhang brothers looked at the man standing beside them with curiosity. He was tall and straight, like a bamboo in the mountains, straight and tough, with an otherworldly aura.

Zhang Erniu couldn't help but ask, "Madam Su, who is this young man?"

Su Panpan glanced at the man and explained in a panic, "This... this is the young man who just controlled the carriage with me. Thanks to his help, I am safe and sound."

Seeing that it was time for lunch, Su Panpan suggested that they eat together, which also eased the awkwardness.

"There's a wonton shop right here. Come on, Brother Zhang and Erniu, I'm sorry you've wasted a lot of time because of me. I'll treat you to some wontons. Young Master, come join us." When the children heard this, they jumped for joy and cheered, "Great, we have wontons to eat!"

The two Zhang brothers waved their hands repeatedly and said politely, "How can this be so embarrassing? How can we let you spend money?"

The man also hurriedly made excuses: "Madam Su, I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't bother you."

When Su Panpan heard the man say this, she looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

The two brothers of the Zhang family looked at each other and immediately understood what was going on. They knew that the person Su Panpan wanted to invite most was probably this young man.

Zhang Erniu immediately changed his tone and said with a smile, "Then it's better to obey than to be respectful. Young Master, let's go together. We must not let Madam Su down for her kindness." Zhang Daniu also joined in, "That's right, let's go and have some fun together."

"Come along," the children around him invited him.

The man finally couldn't resist the enthusiastic invitation, so he nodded and agreed, and tied the carriage aside.

Everyone came to the wonton shop on the street. Although the wonton shop was small, it was full of the atmosphere of life. The owner was cooking wontons skillfully, and the pot was steaming and the aroma was overflowing.

After a while, the wontons were served. Each wonton was crystal clear, with pink meat filling visible in the thin skin and green chopped green onions floating in the soup.

A delicious aroma wafts into my nose.

The children couldn't wait to eat them, mumbling as they ate, "These wontons are so delicious! The skin is so smooth and the filling is so tender."

The male protagonist sat at the table with the same expression. He just picked up the wonton and put it in his mouth without saying much.

The wonton wrapper slides gently between the teeth and melts in the mouth. The meat filling is firm and elastic, and the seasoning is just right. It is salty and fresh with a slight sweetness. The soup is rich but not greasy. The taste is so delicious that people can't help but take another bite.

Everyone was savoring the wontons, and the four children were particularly happy, stuffing their little mouths with them, one bite after another, enjoying themselves.

After swallowing the wontons, he couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and gulp down the delicious soup, his face filled with satisfaction and happiness.

Zhang Daniu said as he ate, "The taste of this old shop is just different. The wontons from the street next door aren't as good as this one. Business wasn't good a while ago, so they closed down."

The second son of the Zhang family stared at the male protagonist curiously and asked, "Young Master, you look unfamiliar. Where are you from?"

The man raised his eyes slightly and answered briefly: "Qingning Prefecture."

The boss then asked, "Sir, what's your surname?"

The male protagonist paused and said, "My last name is Han Jingrui."

Su Panpan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this name!

Han Jingrui, Han Jingrui, Han Jingrui!

It was the same name as the one she had a crush on. That sunny, bright-hearted boy! The boy who loved to paint! The boy who shared an umbrella with her in the rain, and who finally ran with her in the rain!

The second brother asked again, "Where are you going, sir?"

Han Jingrui frowned slightly, feeling a little embarrassed and not knowing how to answer.

Su Panpan came to her senses in an instant and hurried to the rescue: "Alright, alright, everyone, eat your wontons quickly and stop asking questions."

Su Panpan glanced at Han Jingrui secretly and said softly, "Mr. Han, don't mind. They are just straightforward and talk too much."

The male protagonist looked at Su Panpan, nodded slightly, and said, "It's okay."

Su Panpan was worried that there wouldn't be enough for everyone, so she ordered two more portions and divided them equally among everyone. Then she picked up the last few wontons and put them in Han Jingrui's bowl, saying, "These wontons taste really good. Please have some more, young master."

A trace of discomfort flashed across Han Jingrui's stern face, and the tips of his ears turned red. He said, "Thank you, Madam Su. I can do it myself."

Su Panpan smiled sheepishly and stopped moving. Perhaps because of their names, she instinctively felt closer to Han Jingrui.

Zhang Erniu finished eating the wontons, wiped his mouth, suddenly looked up at Han Jingrui, and then turned his gaze to Su Panpan.

He looked her up and down and thought to himself: Although Su Panpan is dressed simply and her clothes are a little worn, judging from their looks, she and Han Jingrui are quite a good match.

Zhang Erniu's eyes rolled, and he leaned closer to Su Panpan and asked in a low voice, "Sister Su, your husband passed away early, and it's not easy for you to raise four children alone! Have you ever thought about finding another man to help you live with your life?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Daniu took over as soon as Zhang Erniu finished speaking: "Yes, Panpan, your man has been gone for so many years, it's time to find another one."

His voice was so loud that the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Su Panpan with a little embarrassment.

Su Panpan's face flushed instantly. She faked a smile to hide her embarrassment and said, "Thank you for your concern, brothers. The children are all very sensible. We are doing OK. We won't consider this matter for the time being."

Su Panpan looked at the child, then lowered her eyes, drank a sip of wonton soup, and no longer looked at everyone.

At this time, the atmosphere became more and more awkward. The two Zhang brothers looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

Han Jingrui frowned slightly, and his cold voice broke the awkward silence: "This is a private matter, according to Madam Su's own wishes, and others don't need to say too much." His eyes were as calm as water, but with a majesty that could not be ignored.

After hearing this, Su Panpan looked at Han Jingrui with gratitude.

"Yes, yes, yes, sir, you are right."

"Yep."

The two Zhang brothers quickly agreed with a smile.
