The child’s question was very simple, but it was a little complicated to answer. Li Ruochu had yet to figure out how to answer his question when Helian Qingyu came in and put his arm around Li Ruochu’s shoulder. “Nuo Nuo is right. Daddy and Mommy are supposed to sleep together. Daddy will sleep with Mommy tonight. Can you sleep alone?”
Helian Qingyu did not want a little guy to always steal his woman.
“No, Nuo Nuo has to sleep with Mommy too.”
“Sleep by yourself! You’re already a five-year-old man. You have to learn how to be independent!” Helian Qingyu lectured.
Li Ruochu shook his hand off her shoulder and said, “How about this? I’ll stay with Nuo Nuo while you stay in your own room.”
She did not want to stay in the same room with him.
“I don’t agree!”
“What else do you want?”
The three of them argued about how to sleep for a long time. In the end, the compromise was that the two adults would stay in the children’s room and sleep with Nuo Nuo first. After Nuo Nuo fell asleep, they would go back to their own places.
Helian Qingyu could only compromise for the time being. The two of them accompanied the child and told him a story. Nuo Nuo fell asleep while Li Ruochu covered him with the blanket and said, “Okay, the child is asleep. Mr. President, go back and rest. I’m going back too.”
“Don’t go!”
Just as she turned around, the man grabbed her arm again. Li Ruochu covered her mouth almost subconsciously to prevent the man from kissing her again.
“Are you that afraid of me kissing you?” Helian Qingyu asked.
Li Ruochu rolled her eyes.
“Didn’t you feel it when I kissed you?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Li Ruochu retracted her arm and walked towards the door. Helian Qingyu chased after her and blocked her at the door. “I mean, what if Nuo Nuo kicks the blanket off and catches a cold after you leave?”
“You’re his father. You have to take responsibility.”
Li Ruochu was a little depressed. He was the one who forced the child to stay in the main building. Shouldn’t he be the one taking care of the child at night?
She lived in Jian Jia Lou, which was so far away. It was impossible for her to come here in the middle of the night.
“You gave birth to him. You have to take care of him too.”
To put it bluntly, Helian Qingyu wanted to make her stay, but his EQ was really worrying, and his way of expressing it was a bit strange.
“Helian Qingyu! What do you want? I said I would stay with Nuo Nuo, but you didn’t agree. I said I would go back, and you didn’t agree either. What do you want me to do?”
“I just want you…”
Without waiting for him to finish, Li Ruochu rejected him bluntly. “Absolutely not! I’m your assistant now. At most, I’m your ex-wife. That kind of relationship will never happen again! You better understand this!”
“I just want you to move in with Nuo Nuo. You can stay in the guest room next door.”
Helian Qingyu finished his words. Li Ruochu’s mind went blank for a moment before she realized that she had been overthinking. Her face turned red.
Li Ruochu was considering his proposal seriously and quickly. It would be best if she could live together with her son.
But living with the big bad wolf made her feel insecure.
She turned to look at her son who was sleeping soundly. Her heart was filled with tenderness. In the past few years, the child had been her pillar of support. No matter how hard or tired she was, as long as the child was by her side, her fatigue would be swept away.
Rather than saying the child was used to having his mother by his side, it was the mother who was used to her child by her side.
