After listening to Shen Lingshuang’s words, Lu Yanchen shut his eyes expressionlessly and then stood up, wanting to leave.
Seeing this, Shen Lingshuang immediately asked, “Son, where are you going?”
“Sleep…I had only just slept not too long ago. Go back first, I’ll go home and visit you in the next two days,” After he said that, he walked toward his bedroom without turning back, even closing the door behind him conveniently.
Shen Lingshuang’s face was filled with disappointment.
‘Hais! I can no longer count on my youngest son being a little more passionate.’
Thankfully, she still had Xiao Bai. However, even Xiao Bai was getting older by the days—and cooler as well. Two days ago, he had actually requested for her to not go out with him all the time, lest people remarked that he wasn’t a man.
‘This little brat! He’s really getting less cute by the day. However, there IS something he can help me with!’
Shen Lingshuang’s eyes twinkled as an idea struck her.
Rising up, she headed over to the study room. Xiao Bai was playing with a Rubik’s cube when Shen Lingshuang headed over and held his hand, telling him gently, “Xiao Bai, grandma has something to tell you about.”
Xiao Bai nodded his head silently.
Using a tender voice, she asked him temptingly, “Do you wish to have a Little Aunt?”
“Yes, I want to have a Little Auntie!” Xiao Bai nodded his head, but he shook his head afterward, “I don’t want a Little Mum.”
“You’ll stay at your uncle’s house for the next few days and take a picture of your Little Aunt. If you do that, grandma will reject your grandpa and have him temporarily not arrange for any matchmaking with your daddy, so you won’t have a Little Mum,” As she said that, Shen Lingshuang handed her phone over to Xiao Bai.
“Really?” Xiao Bai’s eyes lit up as he suddenly got excited out of nowhere. The phone had his favorite game—King of Glory[1. Multiplayer Online Battle Arena Game, the Chinese equivalent of Mobile Legends / Arena of Valor]
However, he knew that he couldn’t show too much enthusiasm or his grandma would take back her phone. He then asked again shyly, “Then, will you help me to ask my daddy and mummy to get back together?”
“Of course! As long as your mummy is to appear, I’ll help to have your mummy and daddy get back together,” Shen Lingshuang also wished that her grandson could have the loving doting care of his parents.
The question was that even till this point, no one knew who Xiao Bai’s mother was.
That year, her eldest son who had stayed in the military the entire time was suddenly sent out for a mission. After being gone for one year, he suddenly came back with a son.
At the start, they had thought that this was an adopted kid. But after the DNA test results were out and proved that it was really his son, he refused to tell anyone who the mother was no matter what.
Xiao Bai could only sigh, “If my birth mother really isn’t going to appear, then find for me a stepmother that’s nicer for me to use in the meantime.”
Shen Lingshuang could not help but chuckle out with a muffled laugh.
How could there be a temporary mother to use in the meantime? No matter how smart and impish he was, he was still a kid at the end of the day.

Lu Yanchen thought that his mother should have left by the time he woke up. And indeed, his mum had left; but Xiao Bai was left behind.
“Little Uncle, I want to stay at your house for a few more days. Every day, grandma would bring me along with her friends to go shopping. As a man, it isn’t good for me to always be hanging out around women.” Xiao Bai stared at Lu Yanchen with his huge eyes as tears welled up, looking as pitiful as he could get.
Instinctively, Lu Yanchen wanted to send him back. However, he knew what his mum was planning by leaving him here.
If he were to send Xiao Bai back immediately, Mrs. Lu, who would have had not achieved her goal, would definitely try other methods.
Furthermore, he had to go out and settle some important things later on, and did not have any time to send him back to the Lu Family.
He ordered Xiao Bai to just stay at home. Since he was young, he had always been a really smart and understanding boy. Even though he was only five years old, he already knew how to take care of himself. Therefore, Lu Yanchen was not worried about leaving him at home alone.
Xiao Bai thought that Lu Yanchen would only be leaving for a short while. But who knew that he was gone for the entire afternoon.
He was so hungry as he hadn’t even had his lunch.
There seemed to be someone cooking below as the air was permeated with that salivating aroma…
