Stop There, Daddy

“What are you thinking about?” Seeing that she hadn’t said anything for a long time, He Siming reached out and waved his hand in front of her.

“Nothing. I just thought of something in the past.” Wen Shuyue shook her head and smiled wryly. Although things had passed between her and Clementine’s brother, she felt awkward at the thought of it.

He Siming had sensed her embarrassment. He didn’t say anything else and reached out to pat her back.

Wen Shuyue had thought that He Siming would press her to tell him everything, but he pretended not to know about it. She felt grateful, and her sorrow gradually decreased.

“Mommy, I have done something wrong. Please forgive me.” Suddenly, Wen Baobao’s voice came from outside and distracted Wen Shuyue.

She looked at Wen Baobao strangely and asked in confusion, “What did you do?”

“I… I…” Wen Baobao didn’t know what to say. He stared at Wen Shuyue for a good while before he carefully said, “I’ve brought Clementine’s brother here. She insists on coming back with me, so I…”

He trailed off, but everyone knew what he meant.

Clementine’s brother?

Wen Shuyue paused. She felt awkward when she heard his voice on the phone, and she would be more embarrassed if she met him.

She used to date him, but things didn’t go well. Wen Shuyue couldn’t forget what happened back then.

“Wen Shuyue, long time no see.”

A soft pleasant voice brought Wen Shuyue back to the present. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Wu Ning holding Clementine’s hand and smiling at her.

Wen Shuyue’s eyes got evasive, and she said awkwardly, “It’s been a long time. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

“If it weren’t for Clementine, I wouldn’t have known that you are here.” The smile on Wu Ning’s lips disappeared, and he looked at Wen Shuyue with deep complicated eyes.

The atmosphere turned dull, and there was a faint hint of bitterness in the air.

Clementine stared at Wu Ning for a while. She seemed to suddenly think of something and said in surprise. “Brother, I remember it now. Is she the girl you mentioned before? And you…”

“How is that possible? You are wrong. I wasn’t talking about her back then.” Wu Ning quickly interrupted Clementine, afraid that she would say something she shouldn’t.

“Not her…” Clementine was confused. Even though she was small, her memory was definitely not bad. Although she didn’t have the chance to meet the girl that her brother mentioned, Wen Shuyue looked like the girl in all aspects.

She had learned it from her parents. After all, she hadn’t been born when that happened, so she didn’t know about the details.

“Since you’re here, come in and sit down. There’s no need to mention the past,” said He Siming in a low voice after remaining silent for a long time. There was an evident coldness in his deep charming voice.

Wen Shuyue was not stupid. Of course, she knew that He Siming was angry, but she didn’t know how to explain it under such circumstances, so she could only wait for the chance.

They sat in embarrassment. The only vivacious Lu Yuan’er hadn’t come out of her room.

Wen Shuyue lowered her head without saying anything. She wanted to break the silence many times, but she didn’t know how to begin.

“I didn’t know that Baobao is your child. How time flies.” After what seemed like ages, Wu Ning finally broke the ice.

Wen Baobao folded his arms over his chest and said solemnly like a grownup, “Yeah. Mr. Wu, you should get married. My Mommy is the same age as you, but I’m as old as your little sister. People will think Clementine is your daughter.”

He sounded funny. If Wen Shuyue had not restrained herself well, she would have burst into laughter.

He Siming gave a faint smile. His cold handsome face softened a bit, not as serious as before.

Baobao’s words embarrassed Wu Ning, who chuckled wryly and explained, “Yeah, my sister is as old as you. Looks like I should hurry up and find a girlfriend.”

“So you don’t have a girlfriend yet? My aunt is single. She’s at home now. Do you like me to introduce you to her?” Wen Baobao was surprised. He pointed at Lu Yuan’er’s room, trying to convince Wu Ning that he wasn’t joking.

No one expected Wen Baobao to be so serious. Wu Ning stared at him, not knowing what to do. He subconsciously glanced at Wen Shuyue as if asking her to help.

Wen Shuyue paused. When she realized what was going on, she hurried to Wen Baobao and said wryly, “Your aunt doesn’t want to have a boyfriend. Don’t try to mess with her.”

“Why are you making noises at my door? You don’t want me to take a rest.” The door to Lu Yuan’er’s room opened, and she came out with sleepy eyes.

She widened her eyes at the sight of Wu Ning. She stared at him unblinkingly with a glint in her eyes.

Wu Ning was startled. He said politely, “I’m sorry for disturbing you. I…”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Lu Yuan’er quickly interrupted him. “It’s fine. I don’t mind it.” She didn’t move her eyes away from him. She obviously had a good opinion of him.

Women knew about the other women very well. Wen Shuyue soon understood Lu Yuan’er and said to her, “Yuan’er, he’s Wu Ning, Clementine’s brother. You both are single. You can hang out with each other.”

Wu Ning didn’t expect Wen Shuyue to push him away to someone else so soon. He turned sullen and said coldly, “I haven’t thought about getting a girlfriend now. Thank you for your kindness.”

An awkward silence fell upon the room. Wen Shuyue realized that she had said something wrong and wanted to explain, but she didn’t know how to begin.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to have a girlfriend now, but you will want one someday,” said Lu Yuan’er with a smile. She didn’t take Wu Ning’s words to heart at all.

Looking at the two of them, Wen Shuyue felt gratified. Lu Yuan’er dared to love and hate. If she was attracted to someone, she would definitely find a way to get close to him. It seemed like she had made plans for Wu Ning.
