午夜的女人

“Miss, is anyone sitting here?”Suddenly, a gentle male voice was heard. Su Ruowan looked up and saw a refined man in his thirties. He wore glasses and was looking at her. There was a shy and fawning smile on his face.

“Uhh.” Su Ruowan was stunned and looked around. There were clearly many empty seats in the cafe. Why did he ask about the seat next to her? “No one, but…”

“It’s good that there’s no one.” The man sat down and placed his laptop on the table. He glanced at Jiujiu, who was eating cake on the sofa on the other side, and said with a smile,” Miss, is this child your sister?” She’s really beautiful, just like you, Miss.”

Only then did Su Ruowan realize that he was trying to hit on her. She smiled helplessly and said,” Sir, I’m sorry. This is my daughter.””

“Daughter?” The middle-aged man was surprised. He shook his head and smiled.” Miss, you look like you’re only in your early twenties. How can you have such an old daughter?””

Su Ruowan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She looked at Jiujiu and said,” Baby, tell Uncle how old are you this year?”

Jiujiu blinked her beautiful eyes and replied in a childish voice,” Uncle, I’m only five years old this year. I’m not old at all.”

The middle-aged man awkwardly adjusted his glasses and looked at Su Ruowan.

Su Ruowan also said,” And me, I’m already twenty-five years old this year. I’m not young anymore.”

The middle-aged man couldn’t stay any longer. He picked up his laptop and fled.

Su Ruowan shook her head. At this moment, she received a call from Wu Lili.

After the call, she glanced at the time. It was almost 3:30 p. m. She picked up her jacket and put it on for herself and Jiujiu. She left the coffee shop and walked towards the Taekwondo gym.

After picking up Jing Yanxi, Su Ruowan brought the two children and hailed a taxi home.

In the car, Jiujiu pouted her small mouth and said unhappily,” Brother Yanyan, an uncle just said that I’m old!”

Jing Yanxi blinked.” Which uncle?”

“Mommy and I don’t know each other.” Jiujiu looked conflicted.” Oh right, he also said that Mommy looked to be in her early twenties and praised us for being beautiful.”

“Hahaha!” When he heard this, the driver turned around and looked at Su Ruowan happily.

Jing Yanxi rolled his eyes helplessly.” Wanwan, how can you flirt with women in a coffee shop?!”

“..”Su Ruowan was embarrassed by the driver and Jing Yanxi. She glared at Jing Yanxi and turned to look out the window.

Returning to Li Garden, Su Ruowan carried the two children’s small school bags in one hand, including her own bag, and opened the door with the key in the other hand.

She placed her bags on the cabinet at the entrance and bent down to help the two children change into indoor slippers. Suddenly…

“Daddy!” Jiujiu’s crisp voice made her look up in surprise. In front of her, Jing Muchen, who should still be in Shanghai, was standing tall and straight in the living room. He was wearing a set of cotton casual clothes and his deep black eyes were looking at her gently.

“Hubby.” Su Ruowan couldn’t help but shout.

Perhaps it was because a little absence made the heart grow fonder, but Su Ruowan’s call of ‘hubby’ was exceptionally gentle and charming, with a hint of coquettishness. She even stopped working on her hands and straightened her back as she walked over,” Aren’t you flying tonight? Why are you back now?”

Jing Muchen walked over and saw that she had a high ponytail, which was a rare sight. Her smooth forehead and fair neck were exposed, and her small face was filled with excitement and joy. His gaze slowly became gentler and he walked over to hold her small hand, only to find that it was bone-chilling.

“Why didn’t you wear gloves?” Jing Muchen raised his eyebrows and rubbed her small palm with his warm and thick palm.

Su Ruowan smiled.. Before she could speak, Jing Yanxi’s voice came from behind her,” Are you two done talking about love?””
