The childish voice was hopeful and a little hesitant.
Shao Yijin rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he saw. In his mind, Mommy should be angry with him.
It was impossible to come see him, so the mommy in front of him must have been a figment of his imagination.
Shao Yijin held his breath and concentrated, not even daring to move, for fear that if he made any movement, the phantom in front of him would disappear.
Seeing his reaction, Jiang Nuantang felt pity in her heart, but it didn't show on her face. She pretended to be normal and said:
"What? Are you not happy to see me?"
Jiang Nuantang lightly raised the corners of her lips with a gentle smile.
But she didn’t call herself mommy. After all, this is Shao Mansion, Shao Zhanlin’s territory.
If he is not careful, he may discover a flaw, which may lead to a bigger secret that she tried her best to hide.
How can the phantom talk?
Shao Yijin's eyes widened and he blinked several times, only to find that the figure in front of him had not disappeared.
so--
It’s really Mommy!
"Mommy!"
Shao Yijin's eyes lit up, and he jumped out of bed with bare feet and ran towards Jiang Nuantang.
The eager look made Jiang Nuantang's heart feel soft again.
"Slow down, you don't have any shoes on."
Jiang Nuantang scolded slightly while bending down to pick him up.
Shao Yijin felt her body soar, and stretched out her arms to wrap her arms around Jiang Nuantang's neck.
"Mommy, are you okay?"
Shao Yijin lay on her shoulder affectionately, whispering the panic and uneasiness in his heart.
"fine."
The hand holding his son tightened slightly, and Jiang Nuantang patted his back comfortingly.
Despite this, the uneasiness in Shao Yijin's heart still did not dissipate. He lowered his eyebrows and apologized guiltily:
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for making you worry."
If he hadn't thought poorly, he would have pushed Mommy's Instagram account out.
Daddy will not have a chance to scare mommy with his safety.
Thinking of this, Shao Yijin blamed herself even more, and at the same time made a note to Shao Zhanlin in her heart.
Disgusting daddy!
You actually scared mommy like that!
Next, ignore him!
Shao Yijin thought angrily.
Something like this happened.
Jiang Nuantang expected that her son would be uneasy, but she didn't expect him to be so resentful.
His words showed a lack of security.
I couldn't help but feel even more distressed. I hugged him tightly and comforted him softly:
"What nonsense are you talking about! I should care about you."
Thinking of the butler saying that he didn't even eat for this matter, Jiang Nuantang changed the topic and continued:
"It's you, I heard from the housekeeper. You're locked in a room and don't even eat?"
After being comforted, Shao Yijin's brows relaxed, and his expression was no longer as uneasy and nervous as before.
But when he heard Jiang Nuantang's words behind him, he tensed up.
"I, I'm not hungry yet..."
Shao Yijin lowered his eyelids and avoided Jiang Nuantang's gaze, but at this moment he heard -
"Gulu..."
Even my stomach was protesting.
Shao Yijin, who was brought down on the spot, blushed even more.
He looked embarrassed and covered Jiang Nuantang's ears.
"Don't listen-"
The angry child's voice was so soft and cute that Jiang Nuantang felt as if his heart was about to melt.
She did not laugh at him, but followed his wishes and said softly:
"I'll carry you to the restaurant. If you don't want me to worry, just eat well. When you grow taller than me, I won't worry anymore."
"Uh-huh."
Shao Yijin nodded vigorously and vowed:
"I must eat well and grow up quickly to protect... you."
Shao Yijin originally wanted to say mommy, but when she thought she was at home, her dark eyes turned and she replaced mommy with you.
Hearing his son's promise, Jiang Nuantang's already comfortable mood became a little happier. He did not refuse and responded with a slight smile:
"good."
Outside the door, Shao Zhanlin listened to the conversation between the two people in the room, his eyes dark.
But he didn't go in to interrupt, but walked away before the people inside found out.
…
Emperor Jing Lan Ting
As night falls, the lanterns come on
After taking Shao Yijin to finish the meal, Jiang Nuantang stayed with him for a while before going home.
Jiang Yihan already knew that Shao Yijin was trying to help him cover up the truth and exposed Jiang Nuantang's identity.
Even though Jiang Nuantang didn't go to the base to pick him up, she was very obedient and didn't make any fuss.
Not only did he take a ride from other team members at the base, he went home alone.
After arriving home, I was able to cook, wash dishes, do laundry and mop the floor on my own, keeping everything in order.
When Jiang Nuantang opened the door and came in, what he saw was that the house was clean, tidy and spotless.
At that moment, my heart softened by half.
There is still a bit of gloom in his eyebrows because of the unequal treaty he was forced to agree to with Shao Zhanlin.
Jiang Yihan carefully observed Jiang Nuantang's face and saw that her mood was relatively stable, so he tentatively asked:
"Mommy, are you okay?"
It was okay not to ask, but when asked about Jiang Nuantang's anger that had just subsided, it was aroused again.
The vest that had been hidden for nearly ten years was taken off inexplicably.
Forget about taking it off, you still have to face old enemies from the past.
Fortunately, she was still the one who was in the wrong, thinking of losing ground in front of Shao Zhanlin.
Jiang Nuantang glanced at his son tiredly and threw the question back:
