Chapter 586 He Doesn’t Need a Dad
Mu Yiliang didn’t know why she inherently rejected this name.
But for the past six months, she had to hear it several times a day, whether from others’ discussions or in the news, it was driving her ears numb.
Is this man planning to conquer the world with news? She secretly mocked!
Mu Yiliang gloomily averted her gaze, but fortunately, Ms. Zhao finally returned, and Mu Yiliang immediately walked quickly towards her.
The incident with Gu Qingqian just now was already out of her mind, so naturally, she wouldn’t tell Ms. Zhao. The two of them went to the garage, Mu Yiliang was in charge of driving, and before long, they reached Xiaoze’s school and picked up her son.
It was also Ms. Zhao’s first time seeing Xiaoze, and at first glance, Ms. Zhao’s eyes sparkled with a wolf-like gleam, which Mu Yiliang interpreted as an excited glow!
"Oh my, Yiliang! Your son looks so handsome!"
"Hahaha, he’s alright." Mu Yiliang felt proud inside but remained humble on the surface, saying to Xiaoze, "Say hello to Auntie."
"Hello, Auntie." Xiaoze always portrayed himself as a polite, obedient, and sensible child in front of others.
Ms. Zhao exclaimed "Oh my," almost wanting to scoop Xiaoze into her arms, "This child, too cute! Come, today Auntie treats you and your mom to dinner!"
Xiaoze gave a harmless smile: "Thank you, Auntie."
With his delicate and cute face and sweet words, Xiaoze quickly won over Ms. Zhao’s heart, making her even more kindly disposed towards Mu Yiliang. Mu Yiliang felt like she could achieve career success and promotions thanks to her son!
The three of them went to a nearby restaurant, and Ms. Zhao’s gaze never left Xiaoze throughout, asking him all sorts of questions, like whether studying was tiring, if he wanted toys, to tell Auntie if he needed anything, to visit Auntie’s house sometime, etc... making Mu Yiliang deeply suspect that Ms. Zhao aimed to kidnap the boy to her house.
Ms. Zhao’s attention was entirely on Xiaoze, their interactions frequent, leaving Mu Yiliang stirring her soup in loneliness...
Until she unexpectedly heard Ms. Zhao say: "Such a wonderful child like Xiaoze, it’s a pity he doesn’t have a dad!"
Mu Yiliang perked up and hurriedly explained: "Xiaoze and I are living well as just the two of us, he doesn’t need a dad!"
Her son never gave her any trouble, nor did he express any such need. If Ms. Zhao hadn’t brought it up, she wouldn’t even have thought of it!
"How can that be, a child needs a dad!" Ms. Zhao disagreed.
Just as Mu Yiliang was about to explain further, Ms. Zhao, smiling brightly, turned to Xiaoze: "Xiaoze, tell me, do you want a dad?"
Xiaoze’s expression was a bit conflicted.
He actually didn’t care much, the main thing was... his daddy was still alive!
But if daddy and mommy were destined not to be together, he couldn’t just watch mommy carry on like this, right?
Thinking of that day at Aunt Xiaoqi’s house, when mommy seemed indifferent about relationships, he felt that he needed to do something.
So, he shyly nodded: "I would like a dad too..."
After saying that, he looked at Mu Yiliang eagerly.
Mu Yiliang froze on the spot!
Ms. Zhao looked as if she expected this, and said to her earnestly: "Yiliang, it’s not easy for a woman with a child, and given your good circumstances and how cute Xiaoze is, surely there are plenty of excellent men willing to be Xiaoze’s dad!"
Mu Yiliang gave an awkward smile: "This boy has never mentioned it... he’s probably just curious, seeing others have one, he wants one too, but he really doesn’t need it."
