The Potential of a Child

Lu Gan was dissatisfied.

“I’m telling the truth. It’s not sweet talk. Can’t I be an honest man?”

Song Ci laughed.

Lu Gan leaned closer and kissed her.

“Isn’t this even sweeter?”

Song Ci was a little embarrassed. She pursed his lips and purposely replied, “Not at all.”

“Anyway, I haven’t eaten any candy. I’ve just spoken the truth.”

The smile on Song Ci’s face deepened. She hooked her arms around Lu Gan’s neck and whispered into his ears, “I was lying earlier. You’re really sweet.”

Lu Gan turned around and kissed Song Ci’s cheek.

“You’re the sweetest.”

Song Ci’s face was heating up. She silently buried her head in Lu Gan’s shoulder.

The driver thought to himself, ‘If only a car would run over me now. I can’t stand their public display of affection.’

Shortly after, they arrived at the hotel.

Once Lu Gan swiped the room card, Lu Suo appeared in front of them.

“Mommy!”

Lu Suo shouted excitedly and pounced at Song Ci.

Song Ci hugged and kissed her youngest son.

Lu Suo asked with a smile, “Mommy, are you done with work?”

Song Ci answered dotingly, “For today. I’ll be busy tomorrow and the day after.”

Lu Suo pursed his lips.

“So you’re not coming home yet?”

Song Ci sighed.

“I still have work.”

Lu Suo also sighed.

Zhang Huan saw this scene, he could not help but laugh.

“Why the long faces? Shouldn’t you two be enjoying this reunion?”

Lu Suo thought about Zhang Huan’s words and laughed. He was right.

“Well, I’ll be heading out now.”

Zhang Huan wanted to smoke. Accompanying the children had been boring.

Lu Gan asked, “Do you want to eat with us?”

“Next time.”

After saying that, Zhang Huan walked out.

Song Ci asked Lu Suo, “By the way, where’s your brother?”

“There.”

Lu Suo pointed in a specific direction.

Song Ci nodded and walked over. She saw Song Yujin studying.

‘What a hardworking child!’

Song Yujin finished the most recent question and put down his pen.

“Are you off work?”

“Yes.”

Song Ci patted Song Yujin’s head.

“Are you studying on your own?”

“I’m just following my math teacher’s instruction.”

After saying that, Song Yujin flipped through the answers. Even though he got the questions correct, he was not happy.

“It seems like your math teacher thinks very highly of you.”

Song Yujin did not understand.

“How so?”

“She’s paying a lot of attention to you. It means that you’re capable and outstanding.”

Song Yujin did not think that far ahead. He was merely doing as he was told.

“Are you hungry? Why don’t you take a break and have some food?”

Song Yujin stood up and asked, “Will you be going back to work later?”

Song Ci patted Song Yujin’s head again.

“I’m done for today. I’ll only continue working again tomorrow morning. Are you happy?”

Song Yujin did not say anything. He just walked towards the door.

Song Ci looked at Song Yujin’s awkward face and chuckled. She carried him and teased, “Aren’t you happy? I am. Don’t you want to see me?”

“…”

Song Ci put on an aggrieved expression.

“I’m happy.”

Song Yujin was helpless.

“Really?”

Song Yujin nodded.

“Then smile.”

Song Yujin squeezed out a smile.

“I’ll smile too.”

After saying that, Song Ci laughed.

Song Yujin thought that Song Ci was rather cute. Regardless, he still felt awkward and remained stoic.

Song Ci was mesmerized by Song Yujin’s cuteness.

Subsequently, the family of four sat on a sofa.

Song Ci put in everyone’s orders.

After that was done, Lu Suo started acting clingy as usual and chatted with Song Ci for a long time.
