Xia Lan never thought that this man would actually ask such a straightforward question in front of her.
As if he had mustered up enough courage, Xiao Ze's small, fat hands pulled at Xia Lan's sleeves, raising his head to ask: ”Auntie, are you going to be my mother?”
Gu Xi Jue also never thought that Xiao Ze would ask such a question, but what was strange was that he did not dislike it either, he just felt that it was a little unexpected.
The word ”good” almost came out of her mouth as she raised her eyes to meet with Gu Xi Jue's deep gaze. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and only then was she able to retract her reason.
No matter how much she missed her son, no matter how much she liked Xiao Ze, she couldn't snatch away someone else's child.
”Auntie likes you a lot too. How about this? If you miss Auntie in the future, you can find her anytime, okay?” Although she didn't want to disappoint Xiao Ze, she couldn't lie to the child either. She could only use another method to make up for the deficiency in the child's heart.
Xiao Ze knew that he was rejected, so he pouted and nodded: ”Alright.”
In the end, he still felt somewhat disappointed.
Along the way, Xia Lan felt as if her heart was riding a roller coaster, moving up and down, moving up and down, moving up and down, it was too exciting!
Gu Xi Jue's cold voice sounded at the right time: ”Where is your residence?”
”Uh, it's still early, so I don't need to trouble Gourmet to send me back. I can just take the subway myself.” Xia Lan wanted to quickly escape from his line of sight, because she discovered that when she was talking with Xiao Ze, his gaze was always on her. Especially when Xiao Ze asked her if she wanted to be his mother, she was really unable to understand what those deep eyes of hers were thinking.
”Address!” Gu Xi Jue asked impatiently once more.
Seeing that his attitude was so resolute, coupled with her boss's current expression, which looked extremely hard to mess with, Xia Lan had no choice but to obediently report his address.
As the car drove through the residential area she rented, Xia Lan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Finally home!
”Gourmet, thank you for sending me back. See you tomorrow. ” Xia Lan raised his hand and waved it in embarrassment. He originally wanted to make himself seem more natural, but didn't expect that it would be even more awkward.
Gu Xi Jue glanced at her indifferently, and ignored her.
”Beautiful auntie, is this your home?” Xiao Ze happily followed Xia Lan out of the car.
”Yeah. Xiao Ze, see you later. See you another day. ” Xia Lan bid farewell to the little fellow with curved eyebrows.
Xiao Ze pulled her sleeve, and turned his head to say with a laugh: ”Father, you can go back first, I want to be Xia Lan's guest.”
His father is the CEO of the Yattai Group! A city's leading figure being ordered around by a four year old baby was truly a wonder of the world!
Indeed, Gu Xi Jue was not someone easy to order around. He coldly ordered: ”Get over here right now!”
Xia Lan disapproved of Gu Xi Jue speaking so coldly and unyieldingly to Xiao Ze. Couldn't he speak properly when he had something to say? But no matter how dissatisfied she was, she didn't have the position to say anything.
