Before Su Ruowan could put on a proper facial expression, the father and son had arrived in front of her. 

With a flushed face, Jing Yanxi pointed at Su Ruowan and said shyly, “Uncle Muchen, this is the person I like.”

He then held Jing Muchen’s big hand and introduced him to Su Ruowan proudly, “Beautiful sister, this is Uncle Muchen. He will take part in the competition with me today. He is excellent, so I must win the first prize today.”

Su Ruowan lowered her head and deliberately covered her face with the peaked cap to avoid Jing Muchen’s gaze. But seeing the excitement on Jing Yanxi’s face, she felt sorry and angry at the same time. Jing Yanxi was Jing Muchen’s own son. But why did he find someone else to raise Jing Yanxi and ask the little boy to call him Uncle Muchen? 

And her? She was Jing Yanxi’s mother, but she couldn’t tell him the truth. She was more pathetic and hateful than Jing Muchen, wasn’t she? 

Su Ruowan bit her lips tightly to restrain the sob that was about to overflow her throat. She kept her head down and didn’t dare to meet Jing Muchen’s mysterious eyes that were hidden behind his sunglasses. Her grip on Jiu Jiu’s hand subconsciously tightened. 

“Mommy, it hurts,” Jiu Jiu cried out aggrievedly. Startled, Su Ruowan quickly released her hand, bent down, and apologized while rubbing it, “Baby, I’m sorry. It’s Mommy’s fault.”

“Uncle Muchen, is something wrong?” Jing Yanxi’s voice sounded behind Su Ruowan again, and it made her stunned at once. This time, she felt the piercing coldness behind her. Jing Muchen’s eyes were like sharp swords that seemed to pierce through her back. 

Jing Yanxi was only five years old, but he was a very sensitive child. Just looking at Jing Muchen, he felt that there was something wrong between the two adults. After all, Jing Muchen, who had always been gentle in front of him, now stood there without saying a word. 

“Uncle Muchen, why don’t you say hello to beautiful sister?” Jing Yanxi pouted with dissatisfaction. He introduced his sweetheart to Jing Muchen in the first place. But Jing Muchen was so impolite to her. He was so angry. 

After a long time, Jing Muchen finally opened his mouth and said, “Hello.” His voice was low, magnetic, calm, and emotionless. It was as if he was greeting a stranger he just first met. 

Su Ruowan took a deep breath and slowly turned around. She slightly bent down and said, “Hello.”

Then the two of them fell silent again. 

Jing Yanxi scratched his head. His gaze shifted from Jing Muchen to Su Ruowan and thought dejectedly, ‘It seems that Uncle Muchen doesn’t like beautiful sister very much. He still likes that ugly woman more, doesn’t he?’

Jiu Jiu’s big and clear black eyes looked at Jing Muchen in front of her. Her eyes were full of scrutiny and curiosity. He was so tall. Even taller than Helian Chen. She couldn’t help thinking that if she sat on his shoulders, would she see more views? 

“Ruowan!” At this moment, Helian Chen came back after changing his clothes. He was holding three huge lollipops in his big hand. 

“Jiu Jiu, do you want a lollipop? Daddy will give it to you if you kiss me.”

Jiu Jiu stretched out her little hand and grabbed one lollipop. Her small mouth pouted to kiss Helian Chen’s handsome face. Then she expertly unwrapped it and put it into her mouth. Her little pink tongue licked it. It tasted so delicious that her eyes immediately narrowed into a crescent with satisfaction. 

Helian Chen turned to Jing Yanxi and handed him a lollipop too. “Little boy, here’s one for you.”

Jing Yanxi was shocked by the word “daddy.” With his mouth opened wide, he watched the intimate scene of the family of three in front of him. His heart broke into pieces, so he didn’t respond to Helian Chen’s kindness. 

“Well…” Seeing Jing Yanxi’s gawky expression, Helian Chen gave the lollipop to Su Ruowan and said, “Ruowan, try it.”

Su Ruowan awkwardly took the lollipop and squeezed it tightly in her hand. Helian Chen acted so real and natural, but she felt that she seemed to have many flaws. 

She took a deep breath to calm herself down and raised her head. Smiling at Helian Chen, she said gently, “Chen, let’s go inside. The competition is about to begin.”

Helian Chen replied gently, “Okay.” He bent down and took Jiu Jiu in his arms, then walked towards the playground with Su Ruowan. 

The “family of three” left happily. 

Jing Muchen stood there with his arms crossed over his chest. The surrounding trees projected a shadow on his sunglasses. Since his eyes were hidden behind those sunglasses, no one could see the expression in them. Jing Yanxi, on the other hand, looked desperate. 

After a while, Jing Yanxi suddenly hugged Jing Muchen’s thigh and started crying. His tears and snot smeared Jing Muchen’s jeans. 

He cried and howled, “Uncle Muchen, I’ve just gone through a heartbreak. My heart hurts..”
