38: Chapter 38: Five Years After Divorce, Husband and Wife Share the Sa Bed Again 38: Chapter 38: Five Years After Divorce, Husband and Wife Share the Sa Bed Again The road was pitch black.
Lu Youting’s tall figure towered under the dim streetlights, his expression indiscernible.
Jian Si tried hard to maintain her composure, silently stuffing the bag into her handbag and slowly turned around with Lu Yanbai in tow.
A strong chill swept over her like a thunderstorm.
Even though she couldn’t see Lu Youting’s expression, she could distinctly feel his anger.
The cold air seed to rush madly in her direction.
Feeling guilty made Jian Si inexplicably nervous.
She licked her dry lips, trying hard not to let her voice tremble, “Xiao Bai knew I was coming back, so he specially ca to pick up!”
Lu Youting strode towards her.
As he approached, the air around them seed to thin.
Jian Si’s eyes darted around, guilty and avoiding his gaze.
Her expression, when caught by Lu Youting, took on another aning.
His gaze coldly swept over her backpack, his face emotionless, as if he had crawled out from Hell.
“You let a four-year-old child co out to et you at night?
Jian Si, how could you do that?”
A cold sweat broke out on Jian Si’s back, and her guilt prevented her brain from functioning normally.
“I, I didn’t think that much!
I’ll be careful next ti.”
Lu Youting’s expression did not improve.
Thinking about how this woman had left their four-year-old son with soone else for a date, he felt like strangling her, then prying open her skull to see what was inside.
Lu Yanbai thought he was bullying Jian Si, so he pushed him away forcefully and stood protectively in front of her.
“It was my own decision to co out and et Mommy, it has nothing to do with her.”
The more he defended Jian Si, the uglier Lu Youting’s expression beca.
He stooped down, picked him up, and headed back to the mansion without looking back.
Jian Si, head lowered, followed behind.
Back at the mansion, Jian Si thought the matter was settled, but Lu Youting was relentless, “Where were you today?
Who were you eting?”
Jian Si blurted out, “A friend!”
Lu Youting scoffed coldly, “A friend?
Was it Ah Che?”
Jian Si suddenly looked up, surprised, “How do you know Ah Che?”
“How would I know Ah Che?” Lu Youting gave a self-mocking laugh, “My wife sleeps in my arms and calls out this na in her dreams, has been for a whole two years, how do you think I wouldn’t know him?”
With a ‘bang,’ Jian Si felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her mind thundering, empty.
She had been calling out Ah Che’s na in her dreams?
She had never known.
Lu Youting had never ntioned it to her either.
Her reaction seed like an admission to him, deepening his misunderstanding, his tone dripping with sarcasm, “Congratulations, you finally got your wish to be with him.”
“No, we…”
Jian Si wanted to explain, but eting Lu Youting’s mocking eyes, she suddenly snapped back, retorting, “We are already divorced, who I am with is none of your business, it’s my freedom.
Instead of ddling in other’s lives, you might want to take care of your own fiancée.”
With that, she grabbed her pajamas and went into the bathroom to shower.
Lu Youting was so angry his teeth chattered…
He felt like strangling her.
Lu Yanbai sat morosely on the edge of the bed, visibly upset by their argunt.
Seeing his distress, Lu Youting drew a deep breath to calm himself and walked over, asking softly, “Xiao Bai, what’s wrong?
Are you feeling unwell?”
Lu Yanbai cried and said, “Daddy, why do you and Mommy fight every day?
I don’t want you to fight.”
Lu Youting was montarily at a loss for words.
Seeing he wasn’t speaking, Lu Yanbai continued, “I don’t like auntie, I don’t want her to be my mommy, I want my own mommy.
Can you and Mommy get back together, please?”
Lu Youting’s throat tightened, his feelings complicated, inexplicably feeling a blockage in his chest.
Lu Yanbai looked up innocently and said, “Daddy, do you like Mommy?”
Lu Youting sidestepped the question, “Young man, what are you talking about liking or not liking!
Do you even know what it is to like soone?”
Lu Yanbai pouted his lips and said discontentedly, “Of course I know!
I like Mommy and want to be with her every day, and I also like Daddy and want to be by your side all the ti.
You two are the most important people to .”
It was the first ti his son had confessed his true feelings, and Lu Youting’s cold heart gradually ward, involuntarily rubbing his son’s little head, “Daddy likes you too.”
Lu Yanbai imdiately asked, “Then do you like Mommy?”
At that, Lu Youting began, “Not…” Seeing the hopeful look in his eyes, the word “like” got stuck in his throat, unable to utter it.
Seeing the light in his eyes dimming, Lu Youting’s heart tightened and without thinking said, “Of course I like your mommy.”
Jian Si, who just ca out from the bathroom, heard this.
Jian Si stood frozen at the bathroom door, her face incredulous.
Hearing the answer, Lu Yanbai finally smiled, “Does daddy really like Mommy?”
Lu Youting nodded vigorously, “Yes!
Really.”
Lu Yanbai jumped up happily, “That’s wonderful!
Daddy likes Mommy, and Xiao Bai likes Mommy too…
Then you should stop fighting with Mommy from now on, Xiao Bai doesn’t like to see you fight.”
Lu Youting’s heart ached, but he smiled tenderly, “Alright!
No more fighting!”
Lu Yanbai danced joyfully, then caught sight of Jian Si standing at the bathroom door and ran over to pull her closer, “Mommy, Daddy said he likes you!
Do you like Daddy too?”
Jian Si was stunned for a mont, wanting to deny it, but seeing Lu Youting gesturing with his eyes, she reluctantly nodded in acknowledgnt.
“Yeah!
I like him!”
Lu Yanbai overlapped their hands together.
Both Lu Youting and Jian Si reacted as if electrically shocked, a strange sensation flowing from the palms into their bodies.
Lu Yanbai excitedly said, “I want daddy and mommy to sleep with tonight.”
Jian Si was baffled, unable to comprehend what had transpired while she took a bath and how things had suddenly turned out this way.
Lu Youting couldn’t bear to see Lu Yanbai disappointed and, before Jian Si could speak, readily agreed, “Sure, Daddy and Mommy will sleep with you tonight.”
Jian Si glared at Lu Youting, questioning him with her eyes.
Lu Youting pretended not to notice, acting as if he hadn’t seen.
For four years, Lu Yanbai had never slept with his parents.
He eagerly pulled them onto the bed, Lu Youting on the left, Jian Si on the right, and himself in the middle, holding their hands intertwined on his little belly.
Jian Si’s face showed reluctance, even her body hairs bristling in agitation.
“Daddy, Mommy, do you know?
Ever since I was little, I’ve always envied kids who have their mommy and daddy by their side!
I never thought I’d have this day too, it’s wonderful!”
Lu Yanbai closed his eyes, a look of bliss on his face.
His words made the resistant Jian Si instantly quiet down, thinking about Xiao Bai’s experiences over these four years, her eyes unwittingly reddening, and she tenderly pulled him into her arms.
“Xiao Bai, don’t worry, Mommy and Daddy will always be with you from now on, making you the happiest child in the world.”
Lu Yanbai nestled happily into Jian Si’s arms, slling her scent, sleepiness overtaking him.
Perhaps it was because he had played too hard during the day, he soon fell asleep.
Jian Si’s hand gently patted his back, softly humming a lullaby.
The dim wall lamp emitted a faint light, casting a warm and tranquil glow over her, making her profile appear even softer and more serene.
Lu Youting’s heart raced, his mouth dry.
