C29 (2/2)

”Ah?” ”What's wrong?” Xia Lan regained her senses.

”Did Grandmother say that she would make you an egg cake that you were good at?”

”Yeah.”

”Roar, don't think that she's that amazing. She only knows how to cook and she's showing off everywhere.” Xiao Ze frowned as well. He looked like he had a headache as he laughed at Xia Lan.

Following which, Xiao Ze's bright eyes shone as he grabbed onto Xia Lan's thigh. He stuck his face close to hers and asked: ”Beautiful auntie, do you want to sleep in the same room as Xiao Ze tonight?”

”Yeah, you don't agree with that?” Seeing him like this, Xia Lan's heart melted as he pinched his cheeks.

”If you agree, we'll live here for the rest of our lives.” With that, Xiao Ze's face turned completely red, as if he was embarrassed and ran away after snatching the phone from Xia Lan's hands.

Around 10 PM, Xia Lan helped Xiao Ze take a bath. Throughout the entire process, Xiao Ze enjoyed this preferential treatment.

After washing up, Xia Lan was afraid that he would be cold, so she wrapped a big towel around him and carried him back to his room.

Xiao Ze crawled into the blanket, leaving only his pair of big shining eyes outside, and looked at Xia Lan for a long time.

Finally, she could not hold it in anymore and said, ”Beautiful auntie …”

”Hmm?” Xia Lan folded the bath towel in her hand and turned around.

Xiao Ze thought about it, as if he had made some sort of decision, and said: ”Beautiful auntie, can you be my mother?”

”Ah?” What did you say? ” She felt like her heart was about to fall out. First, it was the excessive enthusiasm of the Madam Gu, and then, it was Xiao Ze's crazy shelling that made her unable to accept it.

”Are you going to be my mother? I've never had a mother give me a bath in my entire life other than my father and grandmother. When you were bathing me just now, I thought it must have been Mom's feeling. I really like it. ” Xiao Ze said as he curled his lips.

Although this child was young and never cried or made a fuss, never looking for his mother did not mean that he did not want her. Every day, he would watch his classmates have his mother take care of the kids and eat the lunch his mother brought him, and he was especially envious.

But the child had been precocious since childhood, and he knew that his father did not like him mentioning his mother, so he never spoke of his thoughts and needs.

Xia Lan's nose couldn't help but sour. Such a young child saying such words, it sounded really pitiful.

However... She couldn't be his mother just because she pitied him.

Moreover, Gu Xi Jue had said that he didn't think much of her.

There was another person in her heart.

”You can just treat Auntie as your mother in your heart, Auntie likes you too. But don't tell me, you know, especially don't tell your father. ” Xia Lan instructed her, if Gu Xi Jue knew that he was being looked down on, it would be because he was small, and if he was misunderstood, it would be embarrassing if he was the one teaching Xiao Ze!

God, what to do, he had already told his father!

”It's getting late, Xiao Ze, quickly go to sleep. Tomorrow, Auntie will bring you to the playground to play, okay?” Xia Lan thought about how Xiao Ze grew up without his mother to accompany him and was so busy, so he reckoned that he probably never went to the amusement park.
