Chapter 292: Picking up the baby
Jiang Man didn't even turn his eyes away, "No need."
"It's hard to get a taxi here, and Su Heng must be busy, so," he smiled, "I'll take you there."
Jiang Man looked at him with a frown: "Why did you help her? Don't say it's because of guilt, I don't believe you have that kind of emotion."
"Oh, so this is how I look to you. No wonder you never accept me."
Jiang Man quickly averted her gaze, thinking it was pointless to say more. She preferred to remain silent and stood by the roadside trying to stop a car. However, Pu Jing's car was clearly blocking the way. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell it was a couple having a quarrel. Who would dare to go forward and cause trouble?
Pu Jing leisurely flipped through his phone, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, "Su Heng will be out soon. If you don't want to be embarrassed, you'd better get in the car now."
Jiang Man's body trembled slightly, his eyes flickered for a moment, and finally he opened the car door and got in.
Pu Jing's smile became even brighter.
As Su Heng walked out quickly, he just caught her figure disappearing in Pu Jing's car.
"Aheng~" Ding Xin walked up to him, his eyes looking past the mask, closely following the departing car, the smile on the corner of his mouth deeply hidden.
She gently took his arm and rested her head on his shoulder. "Do you remember? When was the last time we went to the amusement park together?"
Su Heng was silent for a few seconds, then slowly lowered his eyes and pulled his arm away. "I'll take you back."
"I don't want to go back!" Ding Xin stood there. When he turned around, she felt so wronged that she almost burst into tears. "These past few days, the media has been waiting at my doorstep every day. They're driving me crazy! I don't want to go back. You can take me anywhere!"
As she spoke, she squatted down and hugged herself tightly, as if she was about to collapse.
Su Heng was silent for a moment, then turned around and said, "Let's go."
Knowing that this meant he wouldn't force her to go back, Ding Xin immediately stood up and chased after him, an irrepressible smile flashing in her eyes.
The car drove straight to the kindergarten.
Jiang Man glanced at Pu Jing, who shrugged: "My son is here too."
She looked away again and said nothing.
Pu Jing smiled and said, "So, don't think too much about conspiracy theories."
Jiang Man frowned and glared at him, "Do you know that you are not likable most of the time?"
He turned to look at her, his eyes full of smiles, "I don't need too many people to like me, as long as you like me."
Jiang Man was in no mood to joke with him at the moment, so he turned his face away again and looked out the window.
The car stopped and she pushed the door open and walked out.
After school, she saw Xuanxuan jumping out with his small schoolbag on his back. When he looked up, he saw Jiang Man, who ran towards her happily and waved goodbye to Xiaomei, "Xiaomei, see you tomorrow."
When he ran to Jiang Man, the little guy immediately looked around with wide eyes: "Where's Daddy?"
Xuanxuan was increasingly comfortable calling Su Heng "Dad," which left Jiang Man with mixed feelings. But she didn't correct him. Su Heng was right. Her relationship with him should never affect him and Xuanxuan. That wouldn't be fair.
She squatted down, so she was at eye level with her son, and said with a smile, "Dad is very busy at work, so only Mom can pick you up today."
Xuanxuan nodded immediately after hearing this, "Yes! A man should focus on his career."
Jiang Man was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Who taught you this?"
"Dad!" Xuanxuan said seriously, "Dad always told me that a man must have his own career so that he can protect his loved ones, like mom and me."
Jiang Man was stunned. "Is that what he said?"
"Hmm!"
She smiled down, this was indeed his style.
At this time, another small figure appeared.
Wenwen saw his father from afar with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he immediately understood after seeing Jiang Man.
He came over and whispered, "Dad."
"Yeah." Pu Jing's attitude towards him was always lukewarm, without any pampering or enthusiasm.
Wenwen was already used to it, and turned around and happily rushed towards Jiang Man: "Sister Manman!"
Jiang Man caught him, his smile even brighter, "I heard from the teacher that your performance has been getting better and better recently."
"Of course, I learn everything the fastest and best!" He patted his chest proudly.
Jiang Man gently pinched his little nose and said, "Yes, Wenwen is the best."
Xuanxuan, who still occupied most of the embrace, was very unhappy with Wenwen's obvious behavior of stealing his mother's position. He frowned and said, "You can't call her sister, you should call her aunt."
Jiang Man laughed when he heard it, "Xuanxuan, do you know the difference between a sister and an aunt?"
Xuanxuan rolled his eyes at his mother and said, "Of course I know. The teacher said that if Wenwen calls mom "sister," I have to call Wenwen "uncle."
"Hmm~" Jiang Man nodded gently, and touched Xuanxuan's little head with a smile: "You are so good, you are absolutely right."
Hearing Jiang Man praising Xuanxuan, Wenwen immediately raised his head and shouted loudly: "Auntie!"
Jiang Man was slightly stunned, then responded with a smile: "You can call me anything, baby."
"No, you have to call me Auntie!" Xuanxuan seemed particularly persistent. Anyway, he would never let this kid be his uncle no matter what!
"Okay, then call me Auntie."
At this time, Pu Jing came over and said, "Call me auntie first, maybe she will be my mother in the future."
Jiang Man's expression changed slightly and he glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the child!"
Pu Jing chuckled, leaned close to her ear, and said in a very low voice: "Anyway, it's just a matter of time."
His confident look inexplicably made Jiang Man's heart tremble.
Where does this man get the confidence to be so determined?
Pu Jing lowered his head and his eyes fell on Xuanxuan. The little guy was staring at him with hostility. Pu Jing smiled, bent down, and reached out to touch his face, but Xuanxuan immediately dodged.
He didn't get angry, he took his hand back and said gently, "Xuanxuan, Mommy also wants to pursue her own happiness."
Jiang Man frowned, hugged Xuanxuan tightly in his arms without saying a word, turned around and left, "Son, go home with mom."
"okay."
Xuanxuan lay on his mother's shoulder, made a face at Pu Jing, then turned his head and never looked at him again.
Pu Jing looked at the backs of the mother and son as they walked away, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Wenwen slowly raised her head, "Sister Manman...Auntie, will you really be my mother?"
Pu Jing didn't answer, but raised his big hand and patted his head gently.
On the way home, Xuanxuan kept looking at the roadside. Whenever he saw a car of the same brand as Su Heng's, he would take a few more glances, and then he would be filled with disappointment.
"Dad really didn't come."
Jiang Man didn't know how to answer for a moment. The adult world was still too complicated for children.
