As if to cover her embarrassment, Wen Sining lowered her head and opened the bag, taking out the bursting - filling mini cakes inside.
Before Lu Luochen could say anything, the closed bedroom door was pushed open from the outside. The two of them simultaneously turned their gazes towards the door, only to see a little boy come in.
Lu Luochen frowned unhappily. It was this boy who had ruined the nice atmosphere. This little boy was from a family that had just moved in next door and often came to play at their place.
"Why didn't you knock before coming in?" Lu Luochen deliberately said in a gruff voice.
The little boy's hand was still on the door. Hearing what Lu Luochen said and seeing his expression, his little face instantly scrunched up, on the verge of crying. Seeing this, Wen Sining quickly stepped forward, squatted down to look the little boy in the eye, and said softly, "Don't cry. Uncle is just joking with you. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."
She pointed at Lu Luochen behind her, with a hint of blame in her eyes as if saying, "Why are you arguing with a child?"
Lu Luochen understood the meaning in her eyes. The little boy timidly called out "Uncle".
Lu Luochen responded. He really didn't know how to get along with children. He waved at the boy and said, "Come here."
The little boy was still afraid of Lu Luochen. He looked at Wen Sining again, and the latter nodded. "Go ahead."
Only then did the little boy go over. He immediately saw the cake on the table and stared at it longingly. Wen Sining saw his intention and was just about to tell him to eat it when a voice preempted her. "You're not allowed to eat. This is mine." Lu Luochen hugged the cake tightly. This was bought by Wen Sining for him. How could he give it to others casually?
Seeing this, Wen Sining helplessly shook her head and found it quite amusing. She walked over and pulled the little boy who was still standing there. "Auntie will take you downstairs to find some, okay?"
The little boy nodded vigorously. Lu Luochen felt quite upset when he saw that Wen Sining was about to be taken away by this child. He looked at the cake in his arms again.
"Wait." He spoke up.
The two who had just reached the door both turned around to look at him. "What's up?" Wen Sining looked puzzled.
"We'll split the cake in half." If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want Wen Sining to leave his side, he wouldn't have shared the cake with the little boy.
The little boy stood there and thought for a while, then agreed. The cake was really tempting to him.
Watching as a piece of his cake was cut and given to the little boy, Lu Luochen couldn't hide the sadness on his face. He looked at Wen Sining, hoping she would comfort him.
Wen Sining also said a few words symbolically. "Alright, if you like it, I'll buy it for you next time." She coaxed Lu Luochen like a child.
"Okay." With this promise from Wen Sining, his mood brightened up.
Just as the old Master Lu and the old Master Xiao came up, they happened to see this harmonious scene. The two of them walked towards them while chatting.
"Yo, isn't this the little boy from next door? How cute he is." The old Master Lu said looking at the chubby little boy.
At the sound of his voice, the people in the room then looked towards them.
"Grandpa, Grandpa Xiao." Wen Sining greeted.
The two old men nodded. Wen Sining and Lu Luochen glanced at each other, a sense of foreboding looming. Sure enough, the next second they heard the old Master Lu's voice.
"Ningning, when are you and Xiaochen going to have a child? While I'm still in good health, I can help you take care of the baby."
After he finished speaking, the old Master Xiao echoed, "That's right. I also want to see your child."
Hearing this, Lu Luochen opened his mouth, just about to explain to the two old men that they weren't in a hurry to have a child, when he heard Wen Sining's voice.
"Grandpa, Lu Luochen's health isn't very good right now. We'll have a child after he recovers." Without thinking, Wen Sining directly used Lu Luochen as a shield.
Actually, what she meant was that Lu Luochen's hand was injured, but in the ears of the two grandpas, it took on a different meaning. They thought Lu Luochen was impotent.
The old Master Xiao looked at him pityingly. To avoid bringing up the young couple's sad topic, they changed to other topics. After chatting for a while, they went downstairs, taking the little boy with them.
When leaving, the old Master Lu looked at Lu Luochen with disappointment and kept sighing.
After they left, Lu Luochen didn't even care about the cake and directly pounced on Wen Sining, pushing her onto the bed.
"Do you know that what you just said made Grandpa misunderstand?" His tone was menacing.
Wen Sining knew she had said the wrong thing and nodded obediently.
"Let me think about how to punish you?" After saying that, without waiting for Wen Sining to react, he directly tickled her.
Wen Sining burst into laughter. "Lu... Lu Luochen... Stop it!" She was out of breath while speaking.
After they had a good time upstairs, they went downstairs. As soon as they reached the first floor, they saw the two grandpas watching TV with the little boy. There was a cartoon on TV. This scene touched Wen Sining deeply. A thought even popped up in her mind: Maybe it would be nice to have a child.
Thinking this way, she subconsciously looked at Lu Luochen. Coincidentally, Lu Luochen was also looking at her. Their eyes met in the air. Wen Sining immediately averted her eyes, afraid that Lu Luochen would see her thoughts, and coughed awkwardly.
Time passed by second by second. It wasn't until the little boy's mother came to pick him up that they realized it was getting late. Everyone then went back to their rooms. Lu Luochen and Wen Sining still slept in separate rooms.
After Wen Sining finished washing up, she lay on the bed and closed her eyes. The figure of the little boy appeared in her mind, and she also remembered what Grandpa had said. Maybe she really could try having a child. The more she thought about it, the more sleepless she became. Wen Sining simply got out of bed, turned on the bedside lamp, remembered that there were still some documents she hadn't finished reading, and got up to go to the study.
Considering that the two grandpas had already fallen asleep, she deliberately moved quietly. After reaching the study, she carried out the documents, planning to read them in the bedroom. Just as she reached the door, she heard the door next door open.
She stopped in her tracks and looked over. It was Lu Luochen. Just as she was about to ask, the other party immediately explained.
"I'm going downstairs to get a glass of water." He pointed downstairs.
Lu Luochen would never tell her that he came out because he heard the noise next door.
Wen Sining nodded and was about to go in when she heard Lu Luochen's voice again.
"You're not sleeping at this late hour and going to work?" His gaze fell on the documents in her arms.
"I can't sleep." Wen Sining told the truth.
