Chapter 255: 181 Jiangjiang: Women are such a bother, lending my shoulder for you to lean on (3rd update)_3 "I was so happy to see you." "But... I didn't feel like she was very happy." The scene that Jiangjiang had imagined was her rushing over, hugging him high, and giving him a few fierce kisses.

"She just doesn't know how to interact with you. Aren't you the same?" "True." Jiangjiang pursed his lips and lowered his voice, “Dad, I held her hand just now, she smells so good." "Her? That's your mother..." Jiangjiang remained silent. Even though he knew deep down, the sudden change in how he addressed her was something he wasn't comfortable with; Jiang Yanting didn't force him either.

* When they cout, Shen Zhixian had composed herself, but her eyes were red. Seeing Jiangjiang, she couldn't help her tears welling up. She wanted to hug him tight but was breathing rapidly, her fingers trembling, she didn't dare...

Afraid of scaring him.

Jiangjiang frowned, reached into his pocket, took out a small handkerchief, and handed it to her, "Don't cry." But she didn't reach out to take it, and Jiangjiang had no choice but to hold the handkerchief, extend his chubby little hand, and wipe her tears, "Please don't cry..." Shen Zhixian just trembled her hands, touched his face timidly, hardly daring to make contact. Despite being mentally prepared not to lose face in front of her child, the tears seemed to pour out uncontrollably.

"Dad?" Jiangjiang was at a loss, turning to look at Jiang Yanting, tears seeming unstoppable, making his own eyes turn red, "What's wrong with her..." Thinking he was about to walk away, Shen Zhixian reached out and hugged him tightly, with so much force it was as if she wanted to melt him into her body.

"I'm sorry, I owe you an apology..." she muttered, "It's my fault, I'm sorry..." The little fellow's body was warm, that warm and soft touch couldn't be replaced by anything.

There was no need for something like a paternity test; it seemed she had already recognized him as her son! Holding him tightly, years of repression spilled out in one night, she hugged Jiangjiang closer, her tears were hot as they dripped down his neck.

In fact, Jiangjiang wanted to ask her why she hadn't cto see him for so many years, he even thought about not wanting to talk to her, but seeing her cry like this, he didn't understand much...

The most direct feeling was: Mom cares about him! It seemed that as long as he knew this much, it was enough.

He sighed, patted her on the back, “Grandma is right, women are made of water." "Women really are troublesome. If you want to cry, just lean on my shoulder." "There's no helping it..." Shen Zhixian was in distress, but his words made her laugh through her tears.

Jiang Yanting stood to the side, watching quietly, his eyes slightly moist, he turned to look to the side, touched the packet of cigarettes in his pocket, then pressed it back down...

After Shen Zhixian cried for a while, she stroked Jiangjiang's little face, her trembling fingers almost wanting to etch his image into her heart.

Jiangjiang was a bit nervous and dared not look directly into her eyes.

Honestly, with Jiangjiang's current look, even if he walked alongside Jiang Yanting, it's unlikely anyone would think the two were father and son because his face was so swollen...

It really looked like a pig's head! "Pff-" Shen Zhixian burst out laughing, "What happened to your face? Why is it swollen..." Jiangjiang was at a loss for words! He couldn't just tell her on their first meeting that he had been in a fight! "There was supposed to be a soccer gtoday, he got shifted from a starting position to a substitute, and he cried because he was upset," Jiang Yanting covered for him with a lie. His son's dignity needed to be preserved. "What about his face..." Shen Zhixian wasn't foolish, there were clearly marks of being hit on his face.

"I fell down while playing soccer,” Jiangjiang clenched his teeth, glanced at the crappy dad on the side, suddenly feeling like there was a halo over his head. Right now, he was his angel.

"Next time, be more careful. I'll...,” Shen Zhixian was also flustered, not knowing what to do, "I'll go wash my face first, and then I'll cook dinner, is it alright for you guys to stay for dinner?" She didn't dare ask him to directly call her mother, she just hated not being able to be closer to him.

But they had never met before, so it was inevitably a bit awkward for both of them, each being very cautious when speaking.

"Is it convenient?" Jiangjiang was still very polite.

"Of course, it's convenient. What do you like to eat? I'll go buy groceries right now and cook for you." "I'm good with anything, I'm not picky." Jiangjiang felt his life had reached a new level of fulfillment, and he was incredibly content inside.

"Then..." Clutching her phone and keys, Shen Zhixian was at a loss, looking at the two of them inside, yet afraid they'd leave.

Actually, Jiang Yanting had thought about suggesting they dine out, but seeing how much she wanted to cook a meal for Jiangjiang, he just patted Jiangjiang's head, "Shall we go with her to buy groceries?" "Sure!" Jiangjiang wanted to accompany her, and giving him a way out, he willingly went along with it.

*

Because they were not familiar, Shen Zhixian held his hand tightly all the way, trying to make conversation Thankfully Jiangjiang wasn't introverted, so it wasn't too awkward.

Jiang Yanting followed behind, watching mother and son, seldom interjecting, silently leaving the tfor them. In the middle of their journey, the old lady called.

"Yanting, how did Jiangjiang's ggo? Did he win? Xiaowu and Wanwan aren't coming hfor dinner, when will you two get home?" "We're not coming back." "Not coming back?” The old lady suddenly realized, “Jiangjiang has been training hard recently, he does deserve to have a good meal."

"We are with Zhixian... Shen Zhixian," Jiang Yanting couldn't be sure among the Xie Family was distrustful. Since he couldn't clarify everything over the phone, he didn't share the whole truth with her. "You are together, with Jiangjiang? That's... that's great, you've finally wised up, I've been telling you, it's good to have a woman in the house."

The old lady hadn't expected that Jiang Yanting would take Jiangjiang to see her, and this, off was entirelym different from a regular date. Usually, if someone was serious about marriage they would involve the child, and with delight, she didn't think too much of it. "I'll let Jiangjiang talk to you." Jiang Yanting handed the phone to Jiangjiang, "It's great-grandma." "Hello-Great-grandma!” Jiangjiang's voice was a bit hoarse from crying.

"Have dinner with aunty, you must behave, okay?" The old lady knew how much of a handful her little ancestor could be at times and reminded him repeatedly.

Aunty? Jiangjiang frowned, but with Shen Zhixian beside him, his proud nature wouldn't let him correct the old lady, so he let her mistake continue...

Overjoyed by the news that they were dining out with the child, the old lady immediately shared the news with the Xie Family.

At that moment, the Xie Family members were all in the living room. Hearing this, although their faces showed happiness, it was unclear who among them was having tumultuous thoughts...
