Jin Xiaoxi was shocked, and suddenly he felt a little scared.
He really hoped Aunt Su Ding was not friends with that woman. If Auntie also persuaded him to accept Shao Lin, what would he do?
"Auntie, do you know her?" Jin Xiaoxi asked nervously.
"... I do," Su Ding paused, judging from Jin Xiaoxi's tone that he must really dislike Shao Lin.
Jin Xiaoxi asked again, "Auntie, are you..."
Su Ding explained, "Not close. Xiaoxi, it's okay, be good. Why do you dislike her?"
Jin Xiaoxi frowned, "I feel like she's very fake. She always acts like she's very good to me in front of Grandpa, Grandma, and Dad, but it's all fake."
A child's intuition is very accurate.
Su Ding also knew very well how good Shao Lin was at disguising herself.
Looking at it this way, Shao Lin must have been accepted by Jin Ye's parents to have her current status.
Seeing that she was no longer speaking, Jin Xiaoxi became even more uneasy.
He clenched his fists and asked tentatively, "Auntie, I don't want to live at home anymore. Can you help me?"
Su Ding frowned.
This was difficult to handle, as he was someone else's child.
Even if she and Jin Ye were in an ambiguous stage now, she couldn't just take the child home to raise him. But she couldn't refuse Xiaoxi's request either.
She truly regarded Xiaoxi as her own son.
She thought for a moment and said, "Xiaoxi, let Auntie think of a way, okay?"
Jin Xiaoxi, hearing a glimmer of hope, replied firmly, "Okay!"
Outside the door, Grandma came to knock.
Jin Xiaoxi had no choice but to reluctantly hang up the phone and open his bedroom door.
Jin's mother had always doted on her grandson. Originally, on the car today, she felt that Xiaoxi was Shao Lin's child after all, and should not treat his mother this way.
But on second thought, Xiaoxi didn't know this was his biological mother.
She shook her head, hesitating whether to tell Xiaoxi this secret.
"Grandma, I'm sorry. I was rude today."
After Jin Xiaoxi opened the door, he apologized immediately.
Jin's mother's eyes immediately turned red. When had her precious grandson ever been so wronged?
She quickly pulled Xiaoxi into her arms, "My dear, it's okay, it's not your fault."
Jin Xiaoxi buried his face in his grandma's arms and said nothing more.
By evening, Shao Lin was indeed staying overnight at the Jin residence.
After dinner, Jin Xiaoxi changed his usual demeanor, his large eyes fixed on his father.
Wherever Jin Ye went, he followed.
Shao Lin watched from not far away, her heart exploding with anger.
This little brat was truly hateful!
She had finally gotten a chance to stay overnight, and Jin's mother's intention was clear—to create an opportunity for her and Jin Ye.
However, she was repeatedly thwarted.
Jin Ye walked into the study and opened his computer to handle some documents.
He heard a few knocks on the door, and both Jin Xiaoxi and Shao Lin walked in at the same time.
"Brother Jin, this is a dessert I specifically asked the kitchen to make. Please try it." Shao Lin gently handed over the plate.
"Thank you, Auntie. Dad and I both like it very much."
Jin Xiaoxi took the plate himself, then sat on the sofa, "Dad and I have something to discuss. Please close the door when you leave. Thank you!"
"..." Shao Lin could no longer maintain her ladylike demeanor and walked out to close the door.
Jin Ye knew exactly what Jin Xiaoxi was doing and was happy that the little guy was helping him block her.
"What do you want to say? Speak," Jin Ye put down his work.
"Are you going to marry her?" Jin Xiaoxi asked directly.
He had thought it through. If his father's answer was yes, he would definitely run away from home.
He knew computer programming and could earn money. At worst, he could be a child star and earn money, and he wouldn't starve.
Jin Ye answered without thinking, "No."
Jin Xiaoxi's heart rejoiced, "What about Auntie Su Ding?"
Jin Ye was stunned.
He was naturally reserved, and his confession to Su Ding was an impulse.
Facing his son and saying this made him rather uncomfortable.
Jin Xiaoxi raised his small face and said firmly, "Dad, I only want Auntie Su Ding to be my mother."
Jin Ye looked up at him.
The two, one large and one small, stared at each other for a long time.
Jin Ye finally spoke heavily, "Okay."
This "okay" was a promise.
Jin Xiaoxi finally felt relieved. His father rarely made promises, but when he did, he would do his best to fulfill them.
Seeing Jin Xiaoxi's relieved expression, Jin Ye shook his head helplessly.
"It's getting late, go back and rest," Jin Ye said lightly.
"Okay, goodnight, Dad." Jin Xiaoxi closed the door.
As he passed his grandma's bedroom, the door was not fully closed, and he could vaguely hear the woman's crying from inside.
She must have been saying all sorts of nonsense to Grandma again.
He knocked on the door and poked his head in, "Goodnight, Grandma."
After saying that, he went back to sleep, completely ignoring Shao Lin's "goodnight" to him from behind...
