Chapter 373: You can’t Call Aunt Yung Mama
Chapter 373
Xu Heng\'s eyes shone brightly as he looked at her and nodded.
After Rong Dai put on his shoes, she went out, intending to have the bodyguard go ahead to reserve a table at the restaurant, and also have the restaurant thoroughly disinfect the things for kids.
As soon as she opened the door she saw Huo Shao Ting standing outside.
"Why are you back so early today?" she asked, surprised. The last few days had been busy at the company and he hadn\'t returned until late.
Huo Shao Ting extended his hand to grasp her slender one, and softly explained, "Just about everything is settled now. I can leave some of the work for employees to handle."
If the CEO had to handle every big and small matter in the company, what were the employees there for?
"Auntie Rong, who is he?"
Xu Heng had already put on his little coat and come out. Seeing Huo Shao Ting, he looked confusedly at Rong Dai.
Huo Shao Ting also looked confusedly at Rong Dai.
"This is Xu Chuan\'s son, Xu Heng."
"Today he came to apologize on Nian Zhi\'s behalf. But unexpectedly ran into Nian Zhi here."
"I like children, so I couldn\'t help meddling and had them find a place to calmly talk things through. I\'m just looking after little Xu Heng for now."
She gazed at Huo Shao Ting, her voice soft and gentle as she explained.
Huo Shao Ting felt a stab of pain in his heart. He grasped her hand tightly. He knew she was still hurting.
His gaze turned to the soft and tender little Xu Heng. "I\'m her husband," he said.
Unexpectedly, Xu Heng\'s eyes immediately dimmed. But after a few seconds they lit up again as he looked at the couple with admiration and envy.
His voice was soft and tender as he spoke with a childish lilt, "Then Auntie Rong\'s future little baby will definitely be very fortunate. He\'ll have a daddy and mommy..."
Rong Dai hadn\'t expected he would say this. She thought about what Lu Nianzhi had told her about everything.
Even she, who had been an imperial consort for thirty years in her past life but had never been a mother for one day, didn\'t know how to respond.
"What\'s this? Do you feel unhappy now?"
Huo Shao Ting looked down at the little turnip head, his handsome face gentle. His voice wasn\'t as cold and stern as usual.
Hearing his words, Xu Heng immediately shook his head. "No no no! That\'s not what Heng Heng meant!"
"Heng Heng has never even seen Mommy before... Heng Heng just really wants to know what she looks like."
"But Daddy called her before. She doesn\'t want to see Heng Heng..."
Xu Heng dragged out the last syllable, his soft, tender voice full of grievance and loss.
"Daddy asked Heng Heng before if he was willing to have Auntie Lu be his mommy."
"But Auntie Lu...she\'s so fierce!"
"And it seems like Auntie Lu really dislikes Daddy. Does she find Heng Heng unlovable? Why doesn\'t any auntie want to be Heng Heng\'s mommy?"
The little guy rapid-fired questions as his emotions rose, instantly stumping the couple.
One was a business tycoon handling everything daily.
The other had spent thirty years earnestly pleasing the emperor and battling wits and cunning with the imperial consorts.
Neither of them had any "child-rearing" experience in their backgrounds.
"Heng Heng really likes Auntie Rong! But Auntie Rong has this handsome uncle now, so Daddy can\'t marry you and Heng Heng can\'t call Auntie Rong \'Mommy\'..."
Huo Shao Ting and Rong Dai: "..."
The couple was rendered speechless.
Huo Shao Ting hadn\'t expected that the one coveting his wife would be such a little milk baby.
And Rong Dai felt distressed. Although she had only spent over half a day with Xu Heng, this child was clever, well-behaved, and understood much. That was why she felt particularly pained over his situation.
