Xiao Bai rubbed his eyes . “Mummy, I want to sleep . ”
If this was her place, Su Qianxun would have carried him to the bedroom right away . However, she was at the Lus’ place now as she turned and looked in the direction of the kitchen .
Shen Lingshuang walked out . “Xiao Bai’s tired?”
Xiao Bai nodded his head before looking at Qianxun . “Mummy, let’s go sleep . ”
He then tugged at her hands .
“It’s time for his afternoon nap as well . I’ll leave him to you then, Qianxun . ” Shen Lingshuang did not take Qianxun as an outsider at all and left Xiao Bai to her entirely .
Hesitating for a moment, Su Qianxun brought him to his bedroom .
Had she known that this would happen, she would not have brought Xiao Bai out for lunch before sending him back . She should have sent him back before lunch .
That way, she could leave right after Xiao Bai falls asleep for his nap .
Xiao Bai’s room was decorated warmly with sky blue bed sheets and matching wallpapers . There was a book cabinet filled with books and some car models that were mostly collectors editions – that was matching with Xiao Bai’s preferences .
“Mummy, together . ” Xiao Bai’s bright eyes were locked on Qianxun such that her heart could not help but melt into a puddle .
“Alright . ”
Since she was going to stay for dinner, it would take some time before night arrives . If she were to head down after Xiao Bai falls asleep, she wouldn’t know what to chat with Shen Lingshuang about as well . Hence, she just laid down next to Xiao Bai hoping that she would be able to leave right after dinner later .
Yet, there was an uneasy feeling in her heart about spending time alone with Shen Lingshuang .
Shen Lingshuang was no nasty person and she was well known for being friendly, compassionate and besides, her attitude towards her was really good as well .
But why did she feel as though Shen Lingshuang was being… overly friendly?
In any case, she dropped Shi Guang a message thinking that there wouldn’t be any issues if Shi Guang was around and she was having dinner in the capacity of Shi Guang’s friend .
Why should I go when you’re visiting your mother-in-law to be?
Shi Guang’s later was so late that she hadn’t even arrived when dinner was about to start . Qianxun dropped her another text only to receive a reply that she was about to leave .
This was the first time that Qianxun felt that Shi Guang was… unreliable as a person!
Su Qianxun was waiting for someone and so was Shen Lingshuang who was looking at the time consistently . She did not believe that her son would not return . But, this should be long enough for him to head back from the military base to the house – why was he not back yet!
She held Qianxun’s hand and looked at her from head to toe . “Why are you so skinny… you don’t seem so skinny on television!”
“One would appear fatter on screen . ”
“Oh, so you’ve got to be skinnier in real life . ” Shen Lingshuang frowned . “I still think it’s better for you to not be an actress . It’s too much suffering! For the sake of looking good, you’ve got to endure not eating good food . What if you were to starve your body into illness?”
Su Qianxun did not know what to reply and merely looked at Shen Lingshuang, somewhat exasperated .
“It’s tough being an actress, right?”
“Nopes . ”
“It’s so rare that you’re not haughty at all . How nice . ” Shen Lingshuang said as she suddenly spouted out of nowhere . “It must be really tough for you to give birth all alone back then, right?”
