Tang Yuchen, upon hearing this, immediately asked him back, "If you want to sleep alone, where should Daddy sleep?"
The little guy pointed at An Ruo and said, "Daddy can sleep with Mommy. My classmates’ mom and dad all sleep together."
An Ruo was taken aback. She hurried to explain to him, "Your classmates’ mom and dad sleep together because their parents are married, they’re husband and wife. Mom and Dad got divorced a long time ago; we’re not husband and wife, so we can’t sleep together."
"Then Mom can marry Dad again."
An Ruo pulled him closer and laughed, "That’s something for later. Right now, your dad and I aren’t husband and wife, so we can’t sleep together."
"Mom is lying, you slept with Dad last night."
An Ruo’s face turned red, and she stammered, quickly fabricating an excuse to fool him, "Last night was because your dad was sick..."
"Cough cough." Tang Yuchen interrupted her, glancing at her and said calmly, "Lying in front of children is not a good behavior. As parents, we should set a good example for the child."
"You..." An Ruo glared at him, unable to continue her ruse. With him saying that, how could she continue to lie in front of the child?
The corners of Tang Yuchen’s mouth twitched slightly, while Kangkang waited with wide eyes for her response: "Mom, why did you sleep with Dad last night?"
"If you’re not husband and wife and can still sleep together, Mom, then Dad can also sleep with you in the future, right?"
"Kangkang..." An Ruo’s face grew redder, "Children shouldn’t worry so much. If you want to sleep alone, sleep alone. There’s another room; I’ll clean it up for Dad to sleep in."
Kangkang shook his head and pouted, "No, I want Mom and Dad to sleep together, is that okay?"
"No, Mom also wants to sleep alone," An Ruo said, refusing to budge.
The little guy, seeing her so adamant, looked troubled, "Mom, can’t you really sleep with Dad?"
An Ruo looked at him curiously, asking in wonder, "Why do you insist on Mom and Dad sleeping together?"
"Because I want a little brother or sister. Mom, have another brother or sister for me," Kangkang said with an ingratiating smile, and An Ruo immediately looked at Tang Yuchen.
Kangkang clearly didn’t understand these things. If no one had told him, how would he know that a child could come from Mom and Dad sleeping together?
There was no doubt about it, this must have been taught by Tang Yuchen.
The man met her questioning gaze, turned his eyes away guiltily, and said nothing.
"Mom, have a brother and sister for me, please, pretty please," Kangkang urged.
The little guy clung to her neck, coquettishly pleading, "I want to have a brother or sister to play with. It’s not fun playing alone; I’d like to have a brother or sister."
He truly longed for a sibling, someone who could be his closest playmate, someone to share his happiness with when he played.
A look of yearning appeared in Kangkang’s eyes; he looked at An Ruo with such a pitiful expression, it was as if he was about to squeeze out a few tears.
An Ruo’s heart softened, and she rubbed his head, smiling gently, "Kangkang, it’s not like you get a brother or sister just because Mom and Dad sleep in the same room. It depends on fate; maybe there won’t be one, maybe there will. So don’t get your hopes up too high."
Tang Yuchen swiftly looked at her, what did she mean by that?
