Chapter 1258 - 837: The Grand Finale - If She Comes but Can’t Find Me, What Should I Do? (Part 4)

He might also be a bit perplexed, right? Perplexed about why Su Xiaomeng, who clearly promised him, ended up breaking her word?

Xiao Yan carried the cake and Xiao Ang’s backpack over to him, "Let’s go home."

Xiao Xiaoang shook his head.

"What do you mean by shaking your head? What do you want to do here if you’re not going home?"

Xiao Xiaoang looked up at Xiao Yan, seriously saying, "I’m waiting for Su Xiaomeng."

"..." Xiao Yan was genuinely speechless as he stood there stunned.

"She promised me she’d come, so she’ll definitely come. I trust she wouldn’t lie to me." Xiao Xiaoang said so naively to Xiao Yan, "So I have to wait for her here."

Xiao Yan squatted down, steadied the gently swaying swing seat, and looked seriously at Xiao Yan, saying word by word,

"You think Su Xiaomeng is really great, don’t you? But what Dad wants to tell you is... Su Xiaomeng has two children who are both two years older than you, she is someone else’s mom, and she also has a husband."

"..."

Xiao Xiaoang stared straight at Xiao Yan, watching his mouth open and close, understanding every word Xiao Yan said.

"Su Xiaomeng has her own family, even if you really like her, she’s someone else’s mom!"

"...I know."

Xiao Xiaoang moved his lips, muttering, in a tone that revealed that despite his young age, he understood deeply.

"They laugh at me for not having a mom, what’s wrong with me lying a bit to them..."

"...Xiao Ang, Dad hopes you grow up healthy and happy, but I truly don’t want you to develop a habit of lying, no matter what the reason."

"Xiao Yan, I obviously know Su Xiaomeng can’t be my mom, but what’s wrong with her pretending to be my mom for a day..."

"To you, it may not matter much, but to others, it might cause distress."

Xiao Xiaoang unconsciously puckered his lips...

Is it really like that?

"Let’s go home, shall we?" Xiao Yan said to Xiao Xiaoang.

Xiao Xiaoang’s gaze remained stably on Xiao Yan...

Xiao Yan glanced at his watch and showed it to Xiao Xiaoang, "Look, it’s almost five o’clock... if she was going to come, she would’ve arrived by now, right?"

"But maybe she suddenly got caught up in something..."

"Doesn’t she have Dad’s phone number? If something delayed her, wouldn’t she call Dad to let him know?"

"What if her phone is out of battery?"

Watching his son hold onto trust in Su Xiaomeng, Xiao Yan’s heart was truly a mix of emotions.

Why... why does it have to be Su Xiaomeng.

The one who never has felt affection for any woman, Xiao Ang, how come he has such strong affection for Su Xiaomeng...

The reason, Xiao Yan knew, but he didn’t believe in such a mysterious thing as "mother-son connection."

"Xiao Ang, let’s go home... Dad is hungry, aren’t you hungry?"

Xiao Ang still stubbornly shook his head, earnestly saying to Xiao Yan, "If I leave now, what if Su Xiaomeng comes and doesn’t see me?"

"..."

"I must wait here for her, no matter what you say, I still believe she’ll come, she’s definitely coming..."

He spoke, but the confidence in his words grew weaker layer by layer...

Xiao Yan couldn’t handle him, after all, he knew very well the stubborn temper of the son he raised himself.

He sat next to him, "Since you’re so stubborn, then Dad will keep you company while being hungry here!"

After Xiao Yan said this, Xiao Xiaoang tightened his grip on the swing seat...

A child’s heart is sensitive and fragile...

That’s someone else’s mom...

Even though he used all sorts of tricks, lying to Su Xiaomeng saying Dad and Aunt Pu Yang were unavailable...

Even though he just wants Su Xiaomeng to be his mom for a day, like other kids, he wants a gentle and beautiful mom beside him while having a dad...

It seems now, he is destined to be a child without a mom, who nobody likes, and even if someone says they like him, they actually don’t...

"Plop"...

Tears fell down like that.

Sitting next to him, Xiao Yan was completely wooden, hurting for Xiao Xiaoang but also painfully anguishing inside.

"Xiao Ang... It’s okay, once Dad marries Aunt Pu Yang, you’ll have a mom, trust Dad, Aunt Pu Yang will be very very good to you. Besides... Dad already discussed with Aunt Pu Yang, even if we get married, we won’t have kids."

"..."

"Dad only has you as his child, Aunt Pu Yang will love you like her own son, you won’t have any siblings."

"..."

"Let’s go home, okay?"

Xiao Xiaoang wiped his tears while shaking his head.

The little guy didn’t expect to feel so bad... nor did he expect to have such great expectations of Su Xiaomeng... or even to feel so miserable when expectations fell empty.

"Xiao Yan, just wait a little longer... just a bit longer... sob sob..."

"..."

Ten minutes passed...

"Just wait a little longer... just a tiny bit longer..."

He was so stubbornly waiting minute after minute...

"Xiao Ang!"

When voices rang with hurried breaths, Xiao Xiaoang’s hunched body on the swing seat was straightened instantly, like a dog perked with sensitive ears upon hearing movement!

"Su Xiaomeng..."

When Su Xiaomeng arrived in front of them, she was sweaty, bent over, supporting her knees while breathing heavily, her throat too dry to speak...

Xiao Xiaoang already jumped off the swing seat, he looked up at her, "Su Xiaomeng, why are you late? Didn’t you promise to be on time?"

"Sorry, sorry Xiao Ang, really sorry... huff... huff... Aunt had an unexpected errand, rushed here as soon as she was done, then got stuck in traffic, and my phone ran out of battery, couldn’t let you know in advance, barely got here, then there was an accident at the last two traffic lights so I ran over... it’s already five... I really..."

"Oh, I see, it’s alright, as long as you’re here."

Xiao Xiaoang told Su Xiaomeng, grinning widely, showing a heartfelt smile, smiling like a little elf.

His tone didn’t carry a bit of blame or complaint, no one could tell how much negative emotion arose in his little heart before Su Xiaomeng arrived.

Su Xiaomeng was stunned, still catching her breath...

Xiao Xiaoang stepped forward and actively took her sweaty hand, "Luckily I stayed to wait for you, otherwise you wouldn’t find me and would be very worried!"

"..."

The moment Xiao Xiaoang actively held her hand, Su Xiaomeng’s heart suddenly moved, her eyes slightly warm.
