Chapter 71: Chapter 071: Stay Away from Such a Man

After dropping off Song Song and her mother at their rental place, Xiao Jinghuai left without lingering.

Song Xueqin opened the apartment door, turned on the light, and saw dust everywhere. She frowned, "Song Song, without me around, you’ve gotten so lazy. It’s all dusty..."

"Uh... Mom, I haven’t been staying here for a while. I have a colleague with an apartment near school, so it’s more convenient for me to stay there."

Song Song casually made up an excuse.

"Mom, you sit down. I’ll clean up. You rest a bit. Are you hungry now? I can go to the convenience store downstairs and buy you something to eat?"

Song Xueqin watched the busy little girl and felt a bit of a pang in her heart. She pulled her to sit on the sofa, "I’m not hungry. Song Song, I’m sorry for making you suffer with me all these years!"

"... Why are you saying that! I don’t feel like I’ve suffered at all, Mom! What’s going on with you? When did you become so sentimental?"

"If you really feel bad for me, then teach me those cooking skills of yours!"

Song Xueqin flicked the girl’s forehead, "That’s off the table. You haven’t gotten into trouble while I was in the hospital, right? You didn’t sign up for any cooking competitions or anything, hmm?"

"No." Song Song stuck out her little tongue, "How would I dare? Aren’t you afraid I’d mess up? I’m a scaredy cat, so timid."

"Mom, when you gave birth to me, did you forget to give me courage?"

Song Xueqin chuckled, "You’re such a little rascal. Hurry up and clean, you’re so slow. Are you not planning to sleep tonight?"

"Oh..."

Suddenly, Song Song sneakily kissed Song Xueqin on the cheek, "Mom, welcome back from the hospital..."

"Stop buttering me up. Even if you sweet-talk me to death, I won’t teach you."

Song Song grinned foolishly. She knew, anyway, she was secretly learning on her own. With her talent in cooking, it shouldn’t be a problem, right!

At night, the two of them lay on the same bed. Song Song was lying on her side playing with her phone, occasionally letting out soft giggles...

"Still not sleeping?"

Song Xueqin, who was not yet asleep, also opened her eyes.

"Mm, a bit sleepless. Mom, why aren’t you sleeping?"

Song Song put away her phone and placed it under her pillow.

"After lying in the hospital bed for so long, this bed takes some getting used to. Song Song, can I ask you something?"

"Mm."

"Are you and that Mr. Xiao really just ordinary friends?"

Song Song’s heart skipped a beat, "...Of, of course."

Could she have seen through something?

Probably not!

"That’s good." Song Xueqin sighed, "You need to stay away from men like him, understand?"

"Mom, why do you say that?"

Suddenly, she felt a bit sad.

"Because he’s from a different world than us. That car he brought us back in today, probably costs at least ten million."

"Song Song, I just want you to live a simple and safe life. Find someone who truly cares for you, someone honest and reliable to marry and have children with, and then spend your life together..."

"Obviously, men like Mr. Xiao have nothing to do with honest and reliable."

Song Song’s eyes reddened a bit. She hugged Song Xueqin from behind, "Mom, I understand what you’re saying. Don’t think too much about it. I think of... Mr. Xiao as an elder. Go to sleep!"

"Mm, you get some sleep too."

At that moment, Song Song completely lost her sleepiness. She thought that tomorrow she needed to find Xiao Jinghuai to finalize the terms and details of their contract marriage.

This was already an urgent matter.
