Chapter 200 My Wife 4
"Madam, we've arrived at West Street."
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage slowly stopped and the driver's voice was heard outside the curtain.
"Go to Zhonghe Building."
A slightly cold voice came from behind the curtain.
Zhonghelou is one of the famous restaurants on West Street.
"Yes, young lady."
The carriage continued to move forward, but Yue Xing'a suddenly asked:
"Mother, what are we doing in Zhonghe Building?"
Yue Xing'a had finished eating the candy man and was lying in Sheng Huan's arms. Maybe it was because his mother's arms were too warm, and the little guy began to feel drowsy as the carriage swayed. Suddenly, when he heard Sheng Huan's words, he was startled, and the sleepiness disappeared in an instant. He was full of energy and shook Sheng Huan's hand unconsciously.
"Take Yue Xing'a to eat something. Our Yue Xing'a didn't eat anything this morning, and his little tummy is full." Sheng Huan said, touching the little guy's flat tummy, his eyes slightly curved: "Also, our Yue Xing'a was so brave today, and he protected mother. Mother also knows that during the time when mother was sick, Yue Xing'a did a lot for mother and suffered a lot."
"Mother..."
Yue Xing'a felt a little embarrassed at first when her belly was touched, but when she heard Sheng Huan's words, her nose couldn't help but feel sore, and she couldn't help but throw herself into her arms and started crying.
During this year, even though he was still young, he was aware of the abnormal family atmosphere, especially that man was so mean to his mother. Not only did he ignore him, he also beat him. Even his maternal grandmother didn't love him as much as before. Yue Xing'a knew that this was because that man had another son, and his maternal grandmother shared her love for him with that child. In addition, his mother was sick and didn't care about him as much. He didn't blame his mother, because his mother's illness was caused by that man.
Therefore, the carefree Yue Xing'a became sensitive.
Children from unhappy families tend to mature earlier.
"Yue Xing, mother thanks you very much. So now that mother has recovered from her illness, she will naturally reward our little Baturu. Thank you for supporting our Wutong Courtyard when mother was sick."
Sheng Huan patted the little guy on the back with a gentle tone. The child was still young, and had indeed been treated coldly and hurt by his father before. He didn't even call him "Ama". He must have felt deeply resentful. It didn't matter if he didn't have a father like Longkodo, but the child's mental health issues had to be taken seriously.
But it’s good to be able to cry, it means you can vent.
"I couldn't help at all..." Yue Xing'a cried and choked with regret.
He hadn't helped his mother in any way before or today, but now he had to ask his mother to stand up for him and beat away the bad guys. His mother still praised him so much, even though he clearly hadn't accomplished anything.
"Baby, you are the best in my heart. If I hadn't seen how brave you are, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly. So, you have helped a lot."
"Yes, is that so?" The little guy was still young and a little confused, but when he heard his mother calling him "baby", his little brain got hot and he ignored everything else. His lips were already raised high, and a corner of his heart that was leaking air was slowly being surrounded by icing.
"Yes." Sheng Huan nodded firmly.
Yue Xing'a was happy, especially when he saw the smile on his mother's face, he felt even better.
Mother smiled at him many times today. Has mother's illness really been cured? Yue Xing'a thought secretly in his heart. Since mother was beaten by that man five months ago, she has never smiled like this again. She has been lying in bed sick all day. The doctor always shakes his head. He has also seen mother crying secretly many times.
It would be great if my mother’s illness was cured!
Less than a cup of tea later, the carriage stopped outside Zhonghe Building.
Sheng Huan led Yue Xing'a down from the sedan chair. As soon as they entered the building, the waiter came out to greet them.
"Madam, please come this way. Would you like to dine in the lobby or in the private room upstairs?"
"Elegant room."
"Okay, ma'am, please come this way."
Sheng Huan nodded, took Yue Xing'a's hand, and followed the waiter.
"This is it, Madam, young master, please come in."
No one noticed that when entering the private room, Sheng Huan glanced lightly at the private room next door. Her face was cold and nonchalant, as if it was just a casual glance. She quickly withdrew her gaze, her eyes slightly lowered, but deep.
No one noticed that a cattail flower in her hair moved slightly.
After arriving at the private room, someone brought in tea and snacks. The waiter bowed and said in a friendly manner:
"Madam, young master, please take a look. This is the menu. These are our signature dishes, and many customers have praised them." The waiter's eyes fell on Yue Xing'a, who was sitting obediently next to Sheng Huan, and smiled and suggested, "Many young customers also like our sweet and sour pork tenderloin. Madam, why don't you order one for the young master?"
Sheng Huan didn't say yes or no, she just turned slightly to look at Yue Xing'a, and saw that Yue Xing'a was looking at the menu with a confused look on his face, obviously he didn't know what was written on it. She pinched his little face gently. Although this little guy was five years old, he was only five years old in terms of age, and he couldn't read. He had basically never left the house to eat, so it was no wonder that he looked so confused.
"Mother, please read out a few dishes that you can eat to me. See if there are any you like. If you like any, please tell me, okay?"
"it is good."
Hearing this, the little guy came back to his senses from his confusion, his eyes lit up, he sat up straight, his little ears perked up, looking like he was listening attentively.
The little guy looked quite amusing. Sheng Huan laughed and her eyes fell on the menu. She read out the names of the dishes that the child could eat one by one. She read them slowly to ensure that he could choose: "Braised pork, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, Dongpo tofu..."
The woman's voice was obviously a little cold, but when she read out the names of the dishes, perhaps because she was talking to the child, she was unconsciously gentle.
It's like the sunlight shining through layers of clouds in a world of ice and snow. It's not dazzling, but rather gentle, and it even brings warmth when it shines on people.
Across the wall of the private room, a man in black garb narrowed his eyes. Although he was sitting casually, his aura was inexplicably domineering, with a sense of arrogance and nobility from someone who had been in a superior position for a long time.
The man with great martial arts skills had amazing hearing ability and heard everything. Perhaps it was because the soundproofing here was not very good.
Yue Xing? The man thought, this name is familiar, he tapped the table with his fingers, he didn't know where he had heard it before.
"Mother, I want to eat sweet and sour pork, Dongpo tofu, and Wu Song chicken wings."
"I remember that my mother likes to eat chicken wings the most!" Yue Xing'a became more and more excited when he said this.
"Baby, I received your kindness." Sheng Huan tapped his nose, a smile shattered in her voice: "But you have to choose what you like. If I like something, I will choose it myself. I won't make it hard for myself, so you don't have to make it hard for yourself either, understand?"
On the other side of the wall, a man was holding a teacup. In the misty air, his eyes moved slightly.
Like? Don't make yourself suffer? This mother's teaching is different from many people nowadays.
