Chapter 127 I Have a Dad
Chapter 127 I Have a Dad
When Su Heng arrived at the kindergarten, he went straight to Xuanxuan's class. Teacher Li looked at him suspiciously, "Which child's parent are you?"
Su Heng replied politely: "I'm looking for Xuanxuan."
"He has been taken home by his mother."
Su Heng keenly sensed something and asked, "Did something happen?"
"It's like this, during lunch break today..." Teacher Li explained the whole story in detail.
After listening to this, Su Heng slowly raised his drooping eyes and stood at the door, glancing around the classroom. All the children stared at him with wide eyes and curiosity. Among them, Xiaoyong had just cried, and two lines of snot were still hanging on his face, looking very funny.
He said softly, "I am Xuanxuan's father. I am also responsible for this matter. It is my fault for not educating my son well."
Teacher Li was stunned for a moment.
He pulled out his business card from his suit pocket and handed it over respectfully. "This is my business card. If Xuanxuan has any questions in the future, just call me directly." After a pause, he added, "His mother has been working very hard, and I don't want her to worry about her son's affairs anymore. I hope the teacher can understand."
Teacher Li took the business card and said repeatedly, "I understand, I understand."
There was a gentle knock on the door. Jiang Man opened it, but he never expected that it would be Su Heng standing outside.
She asked in surprise, "Why are you here at this time?"
"Where is Xuanxuan?" Su Heng asked, looking at the living room.
Jiang Man glanced back, and Su Heng said nothing more. He walked over and gently picked up Xuanxuan, who was sitting on the sofa with his head down. Xuanxuan blinked his big eyes, tears still hanging on his eyelashes.
"I don't want to bother with my uncle anymore." His voice was filled with a bit of grievance.
"Xuanxuan!" Jiang Man was about to say something but was gently stopped by Su Heng.
"Do you really not want to pay attention to me?" Su Heng asked gently.
Xuanxuan hesitated and refused to answer.
"Okay, I'm leaving."
Su Heng made a move to let him go, but Xuanxuan held onto his collar tightly, his face filled with nervousness. Finally, he pouted and choked out an apology: "Uncle, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied to the kids and told them you were my dad."
"I shouldn't have fought with Xiaoyong." As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks again.
Xuanxuan's appearance inexplicably made Su Heng's heart clench. He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Xuanxuan's face. "Boys, you have to be strong and not cry easily, understand?"
Xuanxuan nodded obediently, "I know, my mother said so."
"It's just that today, the kid said this and I feel a little sad." As he said this, his little face wrinkled and he buried his head in Su Heng's arms.
Su Heng gently stroked his back, "With your uncle here, Xuanxuan will never be sad again, I promise."
Xuanxuan immediately looked up, stopped crying, and asked with wide eyes: "Is what uncle said true? Then are you willing to be my father?"
"Xuanxuan!" Jiang Man was really anxious. "How could you say that? Didn't Mom tell you not to say that?"
Unexpectedly, Su Heng nodded gently towards Xuanxuan, "I do."
Jiang Man stood there in a daze, staring at him in disbelief.
Xuanxuan shouted happily, his eyes beaming instantly. He looked at Jiang Man and said, "Mom, uncle is willing to be my dad. That's great! This way I haven't lied to you!"
Su Heng smiled slightly: "Yes, Xuanxuan did not lie."
Jiang Man looked at his son, then at Su Heng, with mixed feelings. Was Su Heng letting Xuanxuan act out because he felt sorry for them? Because he pitied them, mother and son?
The thought made her feel uncomfortable.
Xuanxuan went to the living room to play with toys. Knowing that Jiang Man had something to say, Su Heng turned around and faced her, "Do you have something to say to me?"
Jiang Man raised his head, his expression serious and cold. "Mr. Su, please don't make such jokes anymore. Xuanxuan is still young and may not be able to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but I am an adult and I know how much harm such jokes can cause him. Therefore, I can't let my son continue to indulge in this fantasy. He has grown up and he must accept reality."
Su Heng stared at her quietly, and suddenly asked, "How can you be sure I'm joking?"
Jiang Man bit her lip and whispered, "You are feeling sorry for us mother and son, right? We don't need such pity."
Su Heng stared straight at Jiang Man, "You miss me like this?"
"Isn't it?" she asked back. "It's clearly written in the newspaper, and Chairman Su has already made his position clear. When everyone thinks you and Miss Chloe are a perfect match, you come over and say you want to be Xuanxuan's father? President Su, forgive my ignorance, I can't keep up with your thinking and can't understand your ideas!"
Jiang Man finished speaking in one breath, her cheeks slightly reddened with anger. However, her sharp tongue surprised Su Heng.
He crossed his arms and said slowly, "So, you can lose your temper too."
She flatly denied: "I didn't!"
"Then what are you doing now?"
"I'm trying to reason with you!"
Su Heng laughed, his laughter was low and magnetic. Hearing his laughter, Xuanxuan looked up and thought that he was chatting with his mother, so he continued to play with his toys obediently without disturbing them.
"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Man couldn't stand his ambiguous attitude, which made her think wildly from time to time, and she could hardly figure out what her real attitude towards him was.
He raised his eyes, restrained his smile, leaned forward, approached her, lowered his voice and said, "Jiang Man, you care about me."
Jiang Man widened his eyes and glanced away uncomfortably, trying to avoid his burning gaze.
She gently pushed him away and walked towards the kitchen, with a hint of embarrassment in her voice: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Su Heng followed closely behind, with a playful smile on his face: "You know best whether I am talking nonsense or not."
Jiang Man looked back and glared at him angrily, with a faint blush on her cheeks.
Su Heng gently stroked her cheek, and the sudden tenderness made Jiang Man's heartbeat accelerate instantly: "Tomorrow is a day off, I want to take Xuanxuan out for something to eat."
Just as she was about to refuse, Su Heng's fingers gently touched her lips, and the gentle touch made her heart beat like a drum.
She hurriedly waved his hand away and poured herself a glass of water, trying to calm her inner turmoil, but her thoughts were still in a mess.
"Boss Su." She gritted her teeth and looked at Su Heng with a firm gaze, "I think it's time to end our contract."
Su Heng's face darkened instantly: "What did you say?"
Jiang Man lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes: "Old Madam Su has passed away, and I think it's time to end our contract." She spoke word by word, her expression nervous and resolute.
Su Heng stared at her and was silent for a long time.
