Jiang Man took Xuanxuan back from Aunt Yang. The little guy stared at her with wide eyes the whole time. When he was stripped down to his underwear and was about to enter the bathroom to take a shower, he blinked and asked, "Mom, are you in a bad mood today? I feel like you didn't even smile at me."

Jiang Man was slightly stunned, and his hand unconsciously touched his cheek. How could he bring all his emotions back home and let Xuanxuan notice it?

She forced a reassuring smile and said softly, "No, Mom is just busy at work and feels a little tired."

When Xuanxuan heard this, he immediately stretched out his little hand and pulled his mother down. Then he put his arms around her neck and imitated an adult, gently patting her back. "Mommy, you have to be obedient. Don't stay up late at night, and eat more vegetables, so you won't be tired."

Jiang Man couldn't help laughing, "Okay, Mom will go to bed early and get up early and eat more vegetables from now on." Holding her son's soft little body, the unhappiness in her heart was instantly filled with his thoughtfulness.

"Mother,"

"Ok?"

"If you could find a super rich uncle, you wouldn't have to work so hard."

Seeing Xuanxuan's serious words, and seeing that he had repeated them many times, Jiang Man finally realized that he really meant it. In order to prevent money from distorting her child's values, she felt it necessary to correct his thinking.

So, she gently pinched his little face and said, "A rich uncle might have a bad temper, and Mom doesn't like him. But if there's an uncle who's poor but kind-hearted and treats Xuanxuan especially well, then Mom will like him too. Do you understand what Mom is saying?"

Xuanxuan really lowered his head, frowned, and thought seriously. Finally, he asked, "What's that weird temper?"

"Yeah, it's just a bad habit."

"What bad habits does a rich uncle have?"

Faced with his son's strong curiosity, Jiang Man had no choice but to continue making up stories: "For example... he doesn't like to be clean, doesn't brush his teeth or take a shower! Or he likes to drink and beats up other children when he's drunk, or he likes to peek at other people taking a shower..."

Jiang Man's words became more and more outrageous, and he quickly braked, "These are just weird habits!"

Xuanxuan was confused and nodded in understanding, but immediately frowned and muttered, "Big brother wouldn't be like this."

Jiang Man didn't listen carefully and asked casually: "What were you mumbling about just now? Tell mom."

Xuanxuan quickly shook his head, "Nothing."

"Come, take off your panties. Mommy is going to give you a bath."

Xuanxuan suddenly became shy, covering his hands tightly to prevent his mother from touching him. "Oh, Mom, can I wash it myself?"

Jiang Man asked curiously, "Mom always washed it for you before, why do you suddenly want to wash it yourself today?"

"Because I... I'm already grown up! I can't let my mother bathe me anymore."

Jiang Man stared at his son suspiciously, "He grew up overnight?"

Xuanxuan's face flushed red, and he kept acting like a spoiled child to her, "Xiaoyong and Taotao washed their own clothes. They laughed at me for letting mommy wash them. Even Xiaomei laughed at me!"

Jiang Man finally understood, and said meaningfully, "Oh!", "So you're afraid Xiaomei will laugh at you! Our Xuanxuan has really grown up."

Xuanxuan's face turned even redder, and he threw himself into her arms and acted coquettishly, "Mom, I can wash it myself! I've really grown up."

"

Jiang Man couldn't help laughing. Her son was already shy in front of little girls. It seemed like he had really grown up. She patted his head and said, "Okay, from tonight on, you can take a bath by yourself."

Xuanxuan was very excited and urged her to leave, "Mom, please go out. I can do it myself."

"When washing your hair, don't use too much shampoo, and remember to rinse off the foam..." Jiang Man reminded him worriedly. Xuanxuan nodded repeatedly, and finally pushed his mother out of the bathroom and closed the door with a "bang".

Jiang Man stood outside the door and was about to turn around to say a few more words when the door was already tightly closed.

She turned around helplessly. Her son actually had his own worries as he grew up. He always felt that he would be snatched away by his daughter-in-law at any time.

In the bathroom, Xuanxuan turned on the faucet, the sound of water rushing, and he secretly took out a cell phone...

On the way home, Su Heng's face was always gloomy. After returning home, he took off his suit jacket and untied his tie irritably, took out two bottles of beer from the refrigerator, sat on the sofa, and turned on the TV news.

The silence in the room was finally dissipated a little by the sound coming from the TV.

Su Heng quietly watched the news. Soon, his bottle of beer was empty. He opened another one and drank it slowly.

Gradually, the news was over.

He threw away the beer bottle and got up to take a shower.

Just then, the phone on the table rang. He picked it up and asked, "Hello?"

"Big brother, it's me! I'm Xuanxuan!" Xuanxuan lowered his voice, fearing that he would be discovered.

Hearing that it was the little guy, Su Heng's tense face finally softened a lot. He sat on the nearest sofa and asked, "It's so late, what does Xuanxuan want to talk to me about?"

"Nothing, I just miss my big brother."

Xuanxuan's voice was soft and sticky, and Su Heng found it very pleasing to his ears. He unconsciously raised one corner of his mouth...

Su Heng leaned comfortably on the sofa, chatting with the little guy on the other end of the phone. The originally ordinary and quiet night became unusual because of this phone call.

It was another busy workday. After Su Heng finished reviewing a batch of documents in the office, Lin Ze was about to distribute them to the various departments when Su Heng suddenly stopped him and asked, "Which kindergarten did the little actor who auditioned at the company last time come from?"

"Ah, it's an ordinary kindergarten in the West District."

Su Heng thought for a moment and said, "Send me the address later."

"Okay, Mr. Su."

After receiving the address, Su Heng's eyes changed slightly, no longer so sharp. He picked up his coat and said, "Move the ten o'clock meeting to the afternoon."

Lin Ze quickly wrote it down and pushed the door open.

A black car slowly stopped in front of an inconspicuous kindergarten. The door opened slightly, Su Heng stepped out of the car and looked up.

Compared to those luxurious private or international kindergartens, this one seemed remarkably plain, suggesting the child's family wasn't well-off. Su Heng remembered Xuanxuan often mentioning his mother, but never his father. Thus, one could imagine the living conditions of a single mother.

At this time, the iron gate of the kindergarten slowly opened, and a group of children ran out like birds, playing and fighting in the yard.

He leaned against the front of the car and immediately caught sight of the little boy with fair skin and sparkling eyes. The corners of his lips, usually tightly pursed, now lifted slightly, adding a touch of charm to his otherwise cold face.
