Shu Tian clenched her hands under the table as she could clearly feel someone looking at her.
She turned away from Meng Shichuan's overly handsome face and coaxed Shu Xiao unnaturally, "How could that be? We won't be separated from uncle."
"Great!" Shu Xiao clapped his hands happily and then ate the meat on the plate excitedly.
Shu Tian felt a little uneased later in the meal because of this incident and spoke absent-mindedly as she put most of her attention on the little baby.
After they finally finished their meal, she went back to the restaurant to clean up the leftovers while Shu Xiao played with his toys in his room.
Meng Shichuan didn't like strangers at home, which was similar to that man. Therefore, Shu Tian took the responsibility to clean up.
She suddenly felt a warm hug when she had just put the dishes into the sink and was about to bend over to wash them.
"Ah!" Shu Tian exclaimed in shock. She quickly turned around and found an extremely familiar face behind her. "You scared me to death!"
Meng Shichuan glanced at the bowls and chopsticks in the sink. Then he frowned when he lowered his head and moved closer. "A strong smell of hot pot."
Shu Tian was speechless and reached out to push him. "I didn't let you smell it at all."
"Why did you think of preparing these today?"
"Isn't it Christmas? I would like to make something to eat."
The man curled his lips and looked at her with a meaningful smile. "That's it?"
Shu Tian was shy of expressing her feelings and nodded shyly at his question. "I've been too busy at work recently to take care of the family. Now I finally have the time to..."
"Shu Tian." Meng Shichuan interrupted her helplessly. "Can't you just say that you want to make it up to me? Wouldn't you feel tired saying so much to get to this point?"
Shu Tian lowered her head a little and was so embarrassed.
"Do you know that you would show all your emotions on your face when you're not at work?" From the moment he entered the room and saw her being so active, Meng Shichuan knew almost everything.
Shu Tian was annoyed by his words. "You don't have to say it even though you knew."
"I'm afraid you won't admit it if I don't say it." He retreated a little. "What do you think about what Shu Xiao said today?"
Shu Tian didn't know how to answer him when he suddenly mentioned Shu Xiao. "Children talk freely. He just likes you so much and doesn't want to be separated from you."
"They are completely different things. He said he wanted you to be with me." Meng Shichuan was not going to hide it at all. "It's been five years, Shu Tian. Even the child has mentioned it, are you really not going to be with me?"
"What are you talking about..." Shu Tian felt hot and distracted. She struggled to take a small step away and stay away from him.
"Enough. I've only said a few words but you want to run away. Where can you run?" Meng Shichuan finally let go of her. The lights were off in the kitchen with only light from the dining room coming in. It was neither very dark nor very bright and it was just a good atmosphere they to say something sincere. The man looked at her with some tenderness in his eyes. "This is the happiest Christmas I've ever had, thank you."
Shu Tian whispered, "You don't have to thank me."
This man had long been more than just a benefactor to her. He had done too much for her, second only to Shu Changlei and Ye Lihua.
She suddenly thought of Shu Changlei and Ye Lihua. It was new year's day after today and she didn't know how they were now...
