73 -73: Is He Xiaobao’s Dad?
The auntie looked at her with a beaming smile, “Of course, I’m going to your place.
Today, Xiaobao was picked up by him.
Oh, right, Xiaobao’s mom, that gentleman couldn’t possibly be Xiaobao’s dad, could he?”
“No, no, Auntie, don’t misunderstand, that’s just Xiaobao’s uncle, he just lives nearby.” Ye Ning quickly interrupted her, with an expression as awkward as it could possibly be.
How could he possibly be Xiaobao’s dad?
Although she didn’t know who Xiaobao’s dad was, it definitely couldn’t be him.
Upon hearing it wasn’t so, the landlord seemed a bit deflated…
Such a handsome and dashing young man, and he isn’t Xiaobao’s dad?
That’s really too bad.
Ye Ning gave an awkward smile, not daring to say much more.
After expressing her thanks, she hurriedly went upstairs, heading toward her fourth-floor apartment.
When she reached the fourth floor, sure enough, the usually quiet room was not only emitting the sound of a television but also, faintly, the sizzle of cooking came through.
Accompanied by such sounds, from inside the corridor, which wasn’t very good at soundproofing, an enticing aroma wafted out, hitting the nostrils of the hungry Ye Ning, who really couldn’t help swallowing hard.
It seemed, he had indeed come!
Ye Ning’s lips carried a trace of a smile as she took out her keys and opened the door, “Xiaobao, mommy is back!”
“Mommy, you’re finally back?
Uncle Lin has been waiting for you for a long time.”
As the door opened, the narrow living room indeed contained Little Baozi, still dressed in kindergarten uniform, sitting on the sofa watching TV.
Seeing his mom return, he immediately leapt down from the sofa, with his little arms and legs, and threw himself into his mom’s embrace.
Seeing this, Ye Ning’s heart softened instantly.
She bent down and picked up the small bundle in her arms, “Is that so?
Mommy came back a bit late today.
I’m sorry I didn’t come to pick you up.”
Ye Xiaobao hugged his mom’s neck, his bright and dark eyes clear and shining like stars in the sky, “It’s okay, mommy.
Working is very hard, and today Uncle Lin picked me up.
He even took me to the supermarket.”
Then it seems Xiaobao is very happy today.” Ye Ning looked at her son’s face, glowing with excitement, and knew that he was in a very good mood today.
Uncle Lin, of course, he would be happy to see him—he was someone who even indulged him more than she did.
Since Xiaobao was small, he rarely ever refused him.
How could he not be happy with such a person?
While the mother and son were chatting in the living room, the kitchen’s sliding door was suddenly pulled open.
Ye Ning, holding her son, looked over to see a tall man, wearing a light gray crew neck sweater and scholarly gold-rimmed glasses, holding a dish as he came out, “You’re back?
Just in time, we can have dinner now.”
The voice was calm, but the cultured and gentle tone immediately brought a spring-like warmth to the living room.
Seeing him, Ye Ning quickly let go of her child and stood up, “Yebai, how can I possibly trouble you to cook?”
Lin Yebai smiled, “I have to eat anyway, might as well do it together.” Having said that, he went back into the kitchen to bring out more dishes.
Seeing that, Ye Ning quickly put down her bag and followed him to help…
Yebai’s cooking skills were actually very good, something Ye Ning knew from the time she lived with him.
