Chapter 40: Not as Sensible as a Child
“That’s true, but when people slander me, I always care.” Wen Shuyue retorted.
To a man, this gossip may be unimportant, but it mattered to her because it undermined her reputation.
He Siming remained silent and sneered. Wen Shuyue saw it, and his coolness and disdain stung her deeply in an instant.
Perhaps driven by instinct, Wen Shuyue opened the car door to get off. “Baobao, get off, I will take you to dinner.”
“But I don’t want to get out, Mommy, what’s wrong? You agreed to let Daddy take us to dinner. You will keep your word, won’t you?” Wen Baobao clutched his arms to his chest in an apparent gesture of not wanting to get off the car.
Wen Shuyue frowned slightly, turned to look at Wen Baobao, and said with a softer tone than before, “I don’t have an appetite. If you want to go with him, just go. I’m not going anyway.”
“All right, Mommy, you go home and wait for me, and I’ll ask Daddy to take me home after dinner.” Wen Baobao nodded his head and proceeded to play his mobile game.
Well, something went wrong here.
Wen Shuyue’s mouth twitched violently.
“Is this boy still my son?” Wen Shuyue thought. “How did he take the side of the others so quickly?”
Seeing Wen Shuyue standing still, He Siming raised his eyebrow and looked at her. His voice was clear and cold, without any emotion. “Are you still going or not?”
What?
“Is he starting to kick me out?”
Wen Shuyue really had the impulse to leave, but when He Siming said that, she got angry.
She opened the door and sat down again.
“I don’t want to go now. Don’t you want to invite us to dinner? Then go.” Said Wen Shuyue faintly, her voice tinged with anger even as she tried to control her emotion.
Wen Baobao’s plot succeeded, and he was secretly pleased.
He turned around and wanted to make fun of Wen Shuyue, but inadvertently found He Siming snickering softly. He was in a good mood and felt that a lot of things were not as difficult as he thought.
Wen Shuyue was blue all night. But Wen Baobao really liked He Siming. He followed his daddy everywhere from beginning to end, and sometimes even forgot about Wen Shuyue, which made Wen Shuyue feel frustrated.
As soon as they got home, Wen Shuyue called Wen Baobao into the room alone to talk.
“Mommy, are you jealous of Daddy?” Wen Baobao was so smart that he had already understood the meaning of Wen Shuyue.
He explained, “Daddy and I are really good friends. We have a lot in common, and of course, we get on well with each other. I even think Mommy and Daddy are a good match.”
Wen Shuyue face darkened, looked at him solemnly, and said, ” Take that grin off your face, Baobao. You’re a big boy now, and you should be responsible for what you said.”
“I was right. Daddy picked me up from school today. My teacher told me you were made for each other.” Wen Baobao shook his head vehemently, his beautiful big eyes full of earnest.
The teacher thought they were husband and wife, and of course, she would express courtesy.
Wen Shuyue was really speechless. She rolled her eyes and said patiently, “Not everything the teacher says is true, but you must listen to Mommy. Don’t ever try to get Mommy and Daddy together in any way, do you understand?”
“No, Mommy, I don’t understand.”
“… ” Wen Shuyue was at a loss for words.
Did he really not understand or pretend not to understand? When did this boy’s IQ drop so badly?
Wen Shuyue felt tired indeed. Then she took a deep breath and said softly, “Well, forget it. Go back to your room and rest. Mommy wants to rest too.”
“Okay, Mommy, good night.” Wen Baobao nodded with a grinning and ran to his room before Wen Shuyue could speak.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Watching Wen Baobao close the door, Wen Shuyue felt extremely bad.
To Wen Baobao now, she was not the only one in his heart. He liked his father, He Siming.
Wen Baobao called He Siming immediately after he got back to his room.
“Daddy, have you and Mommy quarreled? Mommy doesn’t seem to like you very much now.” Wen Baobao said solemnly to the phone.
There was a silence on the other end of the phone until He Siming’s voice rang out.
“It doesn’t matter, as long as you like me.”
“How can that work? You’re my daddy. She’s my mommy. Our teacher said that mom and dad are going to be together. So you two have to be together.” Wen Baobao blurted out directly.
He Siming was silent, apparently not expecting such a small boy to understand it.
But there were many things He Siming couldn’t explain to Baobao, who was probably not supposed to know at his age.
“My godmother has been setting my mommy up for a blind date again these days. My mom says she’s going to keep the date and she’s heard he’s a perfect match. Maybe he’s going to be my stepfather.” Wen Baobao whined incessantly.
Because he couldn’t see He Siming’s sullen handsome face over the phone, otherwise, he would never have dared to finish his words.
“Baobao, daddy is very busy now. Take good care of yourself and your mommy. I’m hanging up.”
“Daddy, hello? ”
Wen Baobao wanted to say something else, but the phone was hung up before he could finish.
He stared at the phone for a moment, then broke into a smirk. “You still lie at your age. Alas, you are not as sensible as me.”
The onlooker saw most of the game. How could they not know what a child knew?
Today was the last handover between Mannis and MK, so Wen Shuyue arrived at the company early to get things prepared. Gu Ning had a very important guest to receive today so that he couldn’t make it. Wen Shuyue had to handle everything today.
It was just that she was a little embarrassed in the face of He Siming right now. She didn’t seem to be as composed as she used to be.
“Miss Wen, Mr. He is here.” The secretary came to inform her.
“Well, I see.” Wen Shuyue tried to calm herself and then went with them.
Today’s He Siming was very casually dressed. He had usually worn a suit, but today he wore sportswear, which surprised Wen Shuyue.
He Siming, dressed in sportswear, was so energetic and handsome that people couldn’t help but want to take a look at him.
