Even though she raised her son to be not introverted, he was not a rowdy prankster either. When compared with his peers, he was relatively reserved emotionally.

This was the first time she had seen her son play so wildly and happily.

Indeed, children do need their fathers.

She hoped… that she and Gu Junzhu could get along well and provide Xiao Shu with a complete and happy home.

Half an hour later, Gu Junzhu emerged from the bathroom, holding Ye Yiyang, also clad in a matching bathrobe.

Maybe it was because father and son wore matching bathrobes, watching Gu Junzhu carry her son out from the bathroom, Ye Xingbei strangely thought the two of them looked alike.

She shook her head.

It must have been an illusion.

Definitely an illusion!

Her darling son was so soft and sweet, Gu Junzhu was so cunning, how could her son possibly resemble Gu Junzhu?

“Mommy!” The little guy waved at her from Gu Junzhu’s arms: “Mommy, go take a bath quickly, Daddy and I will wait for you in bed!”

Ye Xingbei:

Wait for her in bed…

Wait for her in bed…

Wait for her in bed…

She felt like vomiting blood.

She didn’t want a man whom she had only met twice to wait for her in bed, okay?

But the little guy was staring at her with bright, longing eyes. What else could she do?

Swallow the blood back down, and keep acting!

She mussed up the little one’s hair and went into the bathroom to shower. freewe bnovel .com

When she came out, the little one was lying on his side in Gu Junzhu’s arms, listening to Gu Junzhu tell him a story.

The story of ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’, her genius son could have recited it by heart, but now he looked as if he was hearing it for the first time, completely engrossed while snuggled next to Gu Junzhu.

The room’s chandelier was off, leaving only a soft wall lamp on.

The soft orange light of the wall lamp cast a warm and dreamy glow on both their faces.

It wasn’t until she approached the bed that the entranced little one noticed her and excitedly patted the spot next to him: “Mommy, come quickly!”

With no other choice, Ye Xingbei lay on the bed next to him.

The little one grabbed one of her hands and one of Gu Junzhu’s hands, his sugary sweet voice sounding like cotton candy, “Good night, Daddy, goodnight, Mommy!”

Ye Xingbei gently kissed his forehead: “Goodnight, darling!”

Gu Junzhu copied her, also giving the little one a kiss: “Goodnight, son!”

The little one closed his eyes and almost immediately fell asleep.

Lying on the bed of a man she’d only known for a few days made Ye Xingbei feel extremely uncomfortable, even with her son in between them.

Once the little one was soundly asleep, she sat up and whispered, “Should I just carry him to the guest room to sleep?”

Gu Junzhu lay still: “What if he wakes up in the middle of the night and only finds you, not me? What would you say?”

Ye Xingbei silently pondered the question.

She could come up with many excuses.

But then again, excuses were just that, excuses.

Excuses are never perfect.

Seeing how Xiao Shu was excited and high-spirited all day, how could she bear to let him discover that this was all a fragile bubble of lies, ready to burst at the slightest prick?

Lying flat on the pillow, Ye Xingbei stared at the ceiling and whispered, “He really likes you! Even more than he likes my two brothers… I can’t dare to imagine when the day comes to tell him that all of this is a lie, I don’t know how to face him..”
