Mom, where are my new socks? came Su Hans voice loudly from behind the two.
What? Startled, Su Ran turned around and asked.
Su Han, too, was obviously surprised when he saw the two of them together. There was an odd look on him.
Em, I am just asking where are the socks that I have bought today.
Socks? Let me think Theyve bought quite a bit today. Su Ran seemed to have seen them when she was putting stuff away, but where did she put it after that?
Before Su Ran could recall that, Lu Shao gave Su Han a slightly stern look.
They are your stuff. You should have kept better track of them, said Lu Shao coldly.
And, you should be in your own room right now.
I dont need you to tell me that, Su Han rebutted reflexively. That being said, he did not object or fight Lu Shao before he turned around and headed back over to his room after looking over at Lu Shao.
Watching as her son returned to his own room, Su Ran blinked in surprise.
Why did she feel that her son was startled?
Why else would he be so cooperative with his father?
That thought made Su Ran frown.
No way. No way.
Whatever went on between Lu Shao and her next time, they must avoid their son.
Su Han was just 13 years old right now. What he needed to focus on was to get good grades in school and get along with his classmates. He should not be distracted by these random things.
Nevertheless, thirteen-year-old boys are all very curious.
Perhaps what she should do was to look for a time to sit down and have a conversation with her son?
Wait, no, it would be better if that conversation take place between the father and son.
As she thought about that, Su Ran reflexively lifted her head and gave Lu Shao a look.
As something else had occurred to her, Su Ran was look at Lu Shao with surprise in her eyes once again.
What is the matter? asked Lu Shao as he casually picked up a towel next to him and started drying Su Rans hair behind her back, his eyes flickering a little.
Did you really shower? asked Su Ran inquisitively as she looked at Lu Shao.
She had very serious doubts that all he did was went inside the bathroom and came right back out.
When she showered, it would take at least 10 minutes.
Su Ran was certain that Lu Shao was in the bathroom for less than 5 minutes.
As did Su Han.
Were the two having a competition?
To see who could shower in the shorter time?
Not expecting that particular question from Su Han, Lu Shao, looking surprised, chuckled.
Yes, he said. Then, his lips curving, he added, You can perform an inspection if you like.
Su Ran, !
Had she not heard it with her own ears, she never would believe hat Mr. Lu would, one day, say that with such a serious look.
Did he read some sort of a guide online? Or that he had it all figured out on his own?
Su Ran had a lot of doubts in her mind right now.
This house is plenty big, said Lu Shao again before Su Ran recovered from her surprise. Then, with a serious look, he said again, The 1.8-meter bed is quite big as well.
And I have change of clothes.
And they had been all washed.
Su Ran was very suspicious that the subtext of that was: What other excuse do you have now?
Pssst
Su Ran should have been nervous but she busted out laughing instead.
She had noticed that as righteous as Lu Shao had said those words, he looked to be more nervous than she was.
She could totally tell that from the stiffness in Lu Shaos actions.
Seeing the change of Lu Shaos expression, Su Ran tried to stop herself from laughing and said, Alright, the whole family should stay here today.
Alright, so what if she was nervous.
It didnt seem like she should spend too much time troubled over this.
She and Mr. Lu were, after all, legally wedded husband and wife.
