Ye Ning shook her head hastily: "No problem, no problem, you go play, Mommy will cook for you in the kitchen."
"Hmm, okay, then remember to cook Daddy’s too, he’s already back." Completely immersed in the joy of having both Daddy and Mommy back, Little Baozi clapped his hands happily and went to the living room to play.
How wonderful, Mommy’s here, and Daddy’s back too; finally, their family can have a meal together.
After Xiaobao made the call, it was about ten minutes before someone really rang the doorbell of the closed apartment. Hearing this in the living room, Xiaobao’s eyes instantly lit up, and he ran joyfully with his short little legs: "Daddy, is that you back?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Ye Ning also heard it, so she stood in the kitchen, her heartbeat seemed like it was about to jump out of her chest.
It truly was a scene that made her very nervous and flustered. That day, her attitude towards him was very firm, deliberately distancing their relationship to prevent him from entangling with her again, afraid of getting drawn back in.
Yet, in just a few days, here she was again, in his apartment.
Standing in the kitchen, Ye Ning heard the door opening and then the familiar deep voice of a man talking with the child: "Hmm, I’m back. Were you good today?"
"Yes, I was good. Mommy picked me up today, and we went to buy pork and flour and made wontons together."
The man’s voice was pleasant, cool, and slightly aloof, carrying a unique masculine undertone. Just a single sentence, and Ye Ning felt as if she’d been struck by something, her heart beating like a drum.
Upon hearing someone had made dinner at home, the man finally back at home just set down his keys and notebook at the entrance and then came over holding the child.
Hearing the footsteps in the kitchen, Ye Ning’s body instinctively stiffened!
"Um... when I picked him up today, he said he wanted to eat wontons, and he mentioned that Sister Wang wasn’t here, so I went to the supermarket to buy some meat, ...and some flour, and made this."
Embarrassed, she started explaining hurriedly, hoping to let him know she hadn’t come here intentionally, but in the end, she was so jumbled up she didn’t even know what she was saying.
Ou Mucen stood there holding the child, watching quietly. His expression revealed nothing, neither joy nor anger, and his deep, expressionless eyes showed no trace of emotion.
Ye Ning couldn’t hold on any longer, sensing the icy cold aura from him. Finally, she lowered her head, ready to untie her apron and leave.
She had said it before, that they would have no more ties in the future, so surely he wouldn’t want her coming here, disrupting his life.
Thinking this, her slightly pale fingers reached for the apron strings...
But just then, the man suddenly put the child down: "Xiaobao, you start eating, Daddy’s going to change clothes and wash his hands!"
Xiaobao immediately nodded obediently: "Hmm, okay, then Daddy, you hurry up, Mommy and I will start cooking it first."
And with that, Little Baozi cheerfully ran back into the kitchen, hugging his mother’s legs.
Ye Ning was stunned, staring blankly at the child at her feet and the man who had already gone into the bedroom from the living room. It took a moment before she snapped out of it: "Okay... okay, let’s cook it now."
