Dr. Jiang's Daily Adversities

The sad little guy hesitated for a few seconds before following Jiang Tingxu into the kitchen. Jiang Tingxu couldn’t stop laughing in her heart.

After a long while.

“Jiang Tingxu.”

“Yes, what’s up?”

The kettle had been filled with water and was doing its job.

Leaning against the cabinet, Jiang Tingxu looked at her son, who was struggling with his thoughts in front of her.

The little man was truly troubled. His two little eyebrows were almost twisted together. She didn’t know what was troubling him so much.

the boiling water sound could be heard from the kettle. Jiang Tingxu didn’t disturb his son. She only smiled at the sight of him.

Finally, the little guy cleared his thoughts and asked cautiously,

“Jiang Tingxu, is uncle Pei the stepfather you found for Ningning today?”

Stepfather?

Jiang Tingxu was shocked by his son’s sudden question. She couldn’t remain calm.

“Huh? Huh? Ningning, why would you think that?”

Were all children nowadays so mature? Did all children know about the concept of stepfathers?

Jiang Tingxu was unaware of the special ability all men, regardless of age, possessed.

They had an innate sensitivity to those who looked upon things that belonged to them with malicious intent.

His son had long included Jiang Tingxu in that category. Therefore, when he saw Pei Rusi, he sensed something.

“Jiang Tingxu, is it true?”

Looking at his son’s increasingly serious expression, Jiang Tingxu’s lips twitched.

“No!”

That’s not true!

Nothing was going on between Pei Rusi and Jiang Tingxu.

Their relationship was simply that of a superior and a subordinate.

Also, with everything that happened to Aunt Wen, the Pei family, and the Gu family,

nothing other than business could take place between Pei Rusi and Jiang Tingxu.

The little guy’s eyes were still filled with doubt, but his expression softened.

“Mmm, that’s good.” He said with a tone of maturity.

Jiang Tingxu’s mouth twitched again. She crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows.

“How did you come up with all this nonsense?”

She was very curious.

They were obviously not on the same page.

The little one pouted and did not say anything. He pointed at the kettle and said,

“The water is boiled. I want water.”

Ouch!

Jiang Tingxu couldn’t get an answer from her son. She turned around and grabbed the kettle by the handle. Then, she poured the boiling water into the cup that she had prepared earlier.

“It’s very hot. Drink it after it had cooled down.”

The little guy had no objections.

The mother and son returned to the living room. Jiang Tingxu looked at the time. It was still quite early.

“What do you for dinner?”

Speaking of food, the little guy became excited. He began to ponder his options carefully.

Then, he said, “Ningning wants to eat… hotpot. Is that okay?”

Jiang Tinxu didn’t see anything wrong with that answer.

It was just hotpot. In fact, Jiang Tingxu herself quite enjoyed having hotpot.

“Of course.”

Since Ningning was still a child, Jiang Tingxu could order a bi-pot with separate soup bases, one spicy, one non-spicy.

What a simple task.

“Drink some water first. I’ll look up a good restaurant online.”

“Okay.”

He sat obediently at the side and waited for the water to cool down. Then, he picked up the cup and sipped on the water.

Jiang Tingxu was scrolling through her phone. So, she did not see the little smile on her son’s face.

After searching for a while, she chose the restaurant with the highest rating.

“All set. Let’s get ready and go.”

The little guy, who was drinking water, hurriedly put down the cup in his hand and took his little book bag.

“Jiang Tingxu, Ningning is ready.”

Haha, just how eager was he?

“Alright, let’s go then.”

“Mmm.”

The mother and son held hands as they walked out of the building.

“Have you ever taken the subway?”

“What’s the subway? Ningning has never taken it before.”

“Okay, mommy will take Ningning on the subway today.”
