Lu Gan replied, “I’ll go and check.”
Song Ci nodded. It was Chinese New Year. She wanted the atmosphere to be more festive.
“Are you kids fond of fireworks?”
Song Yujin’s expression remained indifferent.
On the other hand, Lu Suo clapped his hands and said, “I like to set them off.”
After a while, Lu Gan returned.
“Sorry. There’s nothing here. I’ll set something up once we returned home.”
“Yay!”
Lu Suo cheered.
Lu Gan called Lu Hongyong to double-check. Indeed, there were no fireworks. Lu Hongyong did not like the noise, so there were none stored in his house.
“I’ll put on a show for you tomorrow as well,” said Lu Gan while patting Lu Suo’s head.
Okay.”
Lu Suo nodded obediently.
‘Does my uncle know about his father’s true feelings? Probably not. It’s a shame.’
Lu Suo assumed that Lu Gan liked Lu Hongyong. After all, who would dislike their own father?
Throughout the night, Lu Suo paid extra attention to Lu Gan’s expressions.
Lu Gan noticed it and asked, “Why do you keep staring at me?”
Lu Suo replied with a smile, “Because you’re so good-looking!”
Lu Gan chuckled.
“Are you flattering me to hide something?”
Lu Suo quickly shook his head. Then, he pouted and said coquettishly, “Of course not.”
Lu Gan smiled and hugged the little boy.
“Really?”
“Really!”
Lu Suo put on an innocent look.
Lu Gan stopped probing. In his eyes, Lu Suo was a cute and innocent child.
The family of four cuddled in bed together.
After the children had fallen asleep, Song Ci took out two red packets. She placed one in each child’s pocket.
Lu Gan turned off the lights and hugged Song Ci. He could feel her steady breathing.
‘I guess she’s asleep.’
Some time had passed.
Lu Gan was still awake. He was about to say goodbye to this place. It made him really sad.
More time passed before Lu Gan finally fell asleep.
The next morning, Song Ci snuggled in Lu Gan’s arms as usual. She mumbled, “Morning.”
“Morning.”
Lu Gan kissed Song Ci on the forehead.
Since this was not their home, Song Ci dared not stay in bed. She quickly went to wash up. At that moment, she felt something bulging from her pocket.
It was a red packet. Who gave it to her? Lu Gan?
After washing up, she asked Lu Gan, “Did you give this to me?”
Lu Gan smiled.
“I wish you a prosperous Chinese New Year.”
A big smile appeared on Song Ci’s face. She was touched.
“I’m not a child anymore. Why did you give me a red packet?”
Lu Gan pushed his wheelchair toward Song Ci.
“You’re not a child anymore, but you’re still my baby.”
Song Ci’s face immediately turned red. She looked at Lu Gan with bright and affectionate eyes.
Lu Gan���s heart throbbed. He could not help but pull Song Ci onto his lap. Then, he kissed her twice on the lips.
Song Ci hooked her arm around Lu Gan’s neck and bit his lips. The two of them shared a passionate kiss.
Just like last time, Song Yujin was awake. Even after witnessing such a sight, he remained calm and slowly covered his eyes.
Children were not allowed to look!
Song Ci and Lu Gan’s kiss finally ended. She pushed Lu Gan away coquettishly. After that, she looked at the two children. They were still sleeping soundly.
‘What a relief…’
Suddenly, Song Yujin lowered his hands.
Song Ci immediately figured out the situation.
“!!!”
She jumped up in shock. An awkward smile formed on her face.
Lu Gan was equally stunned after making eye contact with Song Yujin.
“…”
The awkwardness was immeasurable.
