Jiang Mian felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this.

She felt a little guilty.

It was because she wanted to complete her studies in place of the original owner, and it was because she wanted to live closer to the school for convenience.

She wanted her son to stay by her side, but when she had to go to class, she couldn't take care of him.

The son has to get up very early in the morning to go to his father's company and keep him company while he works.

Jiang Mian thought of the dull atmosphere on the floor of Lu Bozhou's office in Dingshengli.

I feel so sorry for Lu Chaochi.

She was so sad that she didn't even want to talk.

Song Xun noticed her emotions, but didn't say much. It was more appropriate for the BOSS to handle this matter.

Upon arriving at Dingsheng, Song Xun led Jiang Mian to the reception room.

"Madam, please wait here for a moment while I go and call the Boss and the young master."

Song Xun went to Lu Bozhou's office.

Before long, Jiang Mian saw the tall man walk into the reception room.

He wore a bespoke suit, which made his figure look very upright.

As he walked in, he draped his suit jacket over his arm, casually pulled off his tie, and unbuttoned his shirt collar.

"School's out?" Lu Bozhou asked.

Jiang Mian nodded.

The man stood in front of her, looking down at her with a half-smile in his eyes. "Can you understand the lesson?"

Jiang Mian was taken aback. "I understand."

Then, belatedly, she realized what the man meant by those words…

Did he think she couldn't understand? Jiang Mian is a top student at Luocheng Normal University, of course she can understand.

But if she were Jiang Mian, she might not understand... Is that what you mean?

However, even if Jiang Mian overthinks what he says now, she's not too nervous.

Jiang Mian asked, "I heard that as soon as I went to school this morning, Song Xun picked up the child and brought him to the company?"

"Hmm." Lu Bozhou looked at her. He had already heard Song Xun mention this, so he raised an eyebrow and asked, "What, you're already reluctant to part with it?"

Jiang Mian pursed her lips and remained silent.

But she could feel that the man's gaze was fixed on her.

Jiang Mian looked up at him and met his deep eyes.

Lu Bozhou's voice was deep, "You have to be yourself first, and then anyone else."

Jiang Mian was stunned for a moment, but in the next second, she quickly understood what Lu Bozhou meant.

Is this man... comforting her?

"So, you should focus on being a good person first, and then you can be Lu Chaochi's mother."

Jiang Mian blinked and softly said, "Thank you, Lu..."

She saw the man's eyes narrow slightly.

Jiang Mian realized how to address him, but she really couldn't bring herself to call him "husband" in this situation.

He could only pause for a moment before speaking, "Thank you, Bozhou."

Lu Bozhou stared at her, no longer bothered by the way she addressed him.

He paused for a few seconds, then said, "Besides, it's only a matter of time before Lu Chaochi comes to the company to work with me. As my son, the sooner he gets involved in these things, the better. If we try to cram at the last minute, the pressure will be too great."

Jiang Mian could understand what Lu Bozhou meant, but that didn't stop her from feeling sorry for the child.

So she remained silent.

Lu Bozhou saw her pursed lips and bitter expression, and smiled very lightly.

It was very brief, like a hallucination.

"You can't even bear this, yet you want him to go to kindergarten?" Lu Bozhou looked at her. "Wouldn't you be devastated if he came back with a cold?"

Jiang Mian was taken aback. Yes, she had overlooked this detail.

When kids go to kindergarten, it's like they're fighting monsters; they won't graduate until they've been through a whole host of viruses.

Jiang Mian felt like her heart was being scratched by a cat; her child hadn't even started kindergarten yet.

She started to get anxious.

Lu Chaochi was in a very good mood and arrived quickly, his steps light and skipping.

Lu Bozhou originally intended to just have a simple business lunch at the company.

But Lu Chaochi disagreed and insisted on eating out with his father, Mianmian.

Moreover, the child had already done his homework in advance, saying that there was a great restaurant near Dingsheng with a delicious and beautifully presented family set meal.

Seeing how enthusiastic the child was, Jiang Mian really couldn't bear to disappoint him.

But just because she was reluctant to part with it doesn't mean her father was reluctant to do so either.

Lu Bozhou was unyielding and said, "I don't have time. I have a meeting this afternoon. The first session has to start right after lunch."

The child's face immediately fell.

Lu Bozhou said calmly, "You go with Jiang Mian, I'll have Song Xun escort you."

The child's face still didn't show much joy; he simply responded softly, "Oh."

Jiang Mian felt a little reluctant. She bit her lip and, having no other choice, decided to try anything. She moved closer to Lu Bozhou and whispered her advice to him.

"Little Stone is probably very happy to be out and about, and wants the whole family to go out for a meal together."

"How about we eat quickly, and you can go back to the company for your meeting after you finish? It shouldn't take up too much time."

"Besides, your injuries haven't fully healed yet, so you should eat something nutritious to help you recover."

Although Jiang Mian said that, she also felt that it was a futile effort.

This man is as stubborn as an ox; you simply can't reason with him or get through to him.

She had already experienced this in her past life.

Jiang Mian was mentally prepared to be rejected.

She had already started mentally planning how to comfort Little Stone later.

To her surprise, she heard the man say calmly, "You certainly know how to make arrangements for me. Let's go."

Jiang Mian was stunned. This meant... she agreed?

This stubborn mule actually agreed?

Lu Chaochi was overjoyed and kept asking Lu Bozhou to hold him.

Lu Bozhou carried him into the elevator with one arm.

Jiang Mian was so nervous that her palms were sweating as she whispered to Xiao Shitou.

"Little Stone, shall I carry you? Your dad must be tired from work, let him rest..."

As Jiang Mian looked at Lu Bozhou holding the child, the gruesome wound on his back flashed through her mind.

But Little Stone is a considerate child.

He leaned on Lu Bozhou's shoulder, smiled, and shook his head at Jiang Mian, "I'm so heavy, Mianmian, you can't carry me, don't work so hard."

Jiang Mianxin thought to herself, "He's such a good son to his mother!"

But she quickly said, "But I missed you, let me hug you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chaochi smiled and reached out to Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian picked up the child and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked up and met the man's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but weren't.

She quickly averted her gaze.

The restaurant that Little Stone found was indeed delicious, and the family set meal was both tasty and beautifully presented, perfect for taking photos!

Before we even ate, the kid took out his phone and snapped a bunch of pictures!

Then I picked up my phone and started fiddling with it.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Mian glanced at her phone and saw a message from Gong Yan.

The content left her somewhat stunned.

Wow, you're moving fast! You've already got him posting about you on his WeChat Moments?
