Chapter 1278: Chapter 855: Finale: That Child Feels Just Like Little Treasure (2)
“I feel I have a connection with this child, and I really like him. Everything I’m doing comes from the heart.”
“I understand, and I know… Xiao Ang has actually overstepped a bit.”
After Xiao Yan said this, Su Xiaomeng was truly taken aback for a moment. She hadn’t expected… Xiao Yan to be so straightforward.
“Xiao Ang likes you very much, but you absolutely have no responsibility or obligation to take care of him. After all, I am a single father, and you are the wife of a wealthy family…”
At this point, Xiao Meng raised her hand to signal him to stop, “Some things… we both understand, so let’s not say them out loud. Saying them… actually makes things awkward and uncomfortable.”
Xiao Yan paused and chuckled lightly, “Indeed.”
“You really are a very considerate man… Alright, if this is what you wanted to tell me, then… I get it.”
She and Xiao Ang should probably keep their distance.
“Then… you should go inside quickly, your husband and children should be waiting for you to return, right?”
Xiao Yan said.
Su Xiaomeng nodded, said goodbye to Xiao Yan, and glanced at the child and dog looking at her through the car window, raised her hand to wave at them,
“Auntie is going home now, bye-bye.”
“Su Xiaomeng!”
“Ang?”
“Little Tiger and I will miss you!”
Xiao Xiaoang shouted, the little guy was so sensitive that it seemed he understood something, and his eyes were a little wet when he shouted.
Su Xiaomeng just squinted her eyes and smiled.
Xiao Yan got in the car, turned it around, and drove away. The lights outside the Yin Mansion’s gate were bright enough that Xiao Meng could still clearly see Xiao Xiaoang and Little Tiger looking back from the car’s rear window.
Su Xiaomeng was somewhat uncertain about how she felt at that moment…
It was as painful as being cut with a knife.
Her fists clenched slightly, knowing that she could never forget that daughter who had died prematurely.
Every time she thought of it, it was a heartbreakingly painful.
Xiao Meng stood there for quite a while before turning to walk towards the gate, and as she turned, she saw a tall silhouette leaning against the door, a pair of eyes darker than the night watching her…
“Shixiu…”
Su Xiaomeng hadn’t done anything to betray Yin Shixiu, but at this moment, she felt guilty.
“What are you doing here?”
“Seeing that you hadn’t come back, I wanted to come out and meet you and take a walk along the way.”
Yin Shixiu said.
Xiao Meng walked up to him, took his big hand of her own accord, and said with a cheeky smile, “Didn’t I say in my WeChat message that I would be back around this time! What are you doing out so late? The wind is strong… Your health isn’t what it used to be, you should be more careful.”
She held his hand as they walked into the garden.
“Hmm, you did mention you’d be back around this time, but you didn’t say a man would be bringing you back.”
Yin Shixiu’s tone was quite calm, but saying this revealed his discontent and concern, although he appeared rather composed.
“What you’re saying… isn’t accurate; it should be a father, a little boy, and a little dog! Only the boy and the dog stayed in the car and didn’t get out.”
Su Xiaomeng said word for word while patting Yin Shixiu’s hand.
“A father, a little boy, and a dog… it feels like something is missing.”
“Oh, Xiao Yan’s fiancée is waiting for him at home, so if they all came along to drop me off, it would be strange, wouldn’t it?”
Su Xiaomeng quickly said with a smile.
Yin Shixiu glanced at her and didn’t say more.
The two walked back to Jun Garden in silence.
Yin Shixiu had already taken a shower when Xiao Meng returned. She first went to the children’s room to see Shuangshuang and Huang Huang, who were all washed and ready to sleep, then went back to her room.
Yin Shixiu was leaning against the bed reading a book, and to Su Xiaomeng’s surprise, there was a suitcase out,
“Are you… going on a business trip?”
“Hmm, tomorrow night’s flight,” Yin Shixiu said to Xiao Meng, “I made the decision this afternoon; this time, it’s to the United States. The wrap-up of the previous project requires my presence.”
“…Have you packed everything? Okay, I’ll help you check again after I shower.”
Xiao Meng said.
Yin Shixiu looked at Su Xiaomeng intently.
“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I thought you’d be a bit upset, or… angry.”
“Ah? Why?”
Su Xiaomeng asked in surprise.
“I recall every time I suddenly decided to travel for work, you would seem quite upset…”
“Well… that’s… just me being over-sensitive, you’re going for work, I’m obviously supportive!”
Su Xiaomeng quickly replied.
“Normally, a business trip wouldn’t be much, even if this one is for about a month, but… seeing another man bring you back tonight made me hesitate a bit.”
“Pfft…”
Su Xiaomeng suddenly burst into laughter, walked up to Yin Shixiu, took the book out of his hand, and looked at him seriously,
“Yin Shixiu, you’re being dramatic… I haven’t hidden anything from you at all. My feelings for you are as clear as day and night, aren’t they?”
“Then I don’t understand, what kind of connection makes you so attentive to another family’s child?”
Yin Shixiu raised his eyebrows, looking very composed. If Su Xiaomeng couldn’t give a good explanation… it seemed like there would be a long night ahead.
“I’ve basically told you over the phone, but if you still have doubts, I’ll say it again…”
“Hmm?”
“Little Treasure…”
“What?”
“That child gives me a feeling… very much like Little Treasure…”
Yin Shixiu frowned, just about to speak when Xiao Meng quickly said,
“I know you think I’m talking nonsense, I’ve never seen Little Treasure, Little Treasure died at birth, where would such feelings come from… But Shixiu, I just have this feeling, if Little Treasure were alive, he’d probably have Xiao Xiaoang’s personality… at Xiao Xiaoang’s age…”
