Xia Xingcheng went home. Thinking of that she had to look for a new job again tomorrow made her gloomy.

She already braced herself to the fact that she will be working at that little company. But it hadn’t occurred to him that such thing happened.

Bao saw his mother was obviously not happy, and he couldn't help but tug his mother’s sleeve and asked, "Mommy, what's the matter? Did anyone make you unhappy today?"

Seeing Bao’s little body cling on her, Xia Xingcheng had a warm feeling; she squatted down and held Bao in her arms.

“Bao. Mommy may have lost my job again. I may not have enough money to raise you.”

After saying that, the rims of her eyes became red uncontrollably. She really didn't want Bao to get hurt in any way.

Bao shook his head: “Mommy, it is okay. Daddy has money.”

After hearing Bao’s words, Xia Xingcheng’s face turned serious. She looked at Bao a little angrily: “Bao. Don't ever say that again, okay?”

“His money is his. As a woman, mommy has to have my own career. I don't use other men's money.”

Seeing Bao look at her a little confused, Xia Xingcheng took the opportunity and said: “Of course, my son is the exception. When you are grown, you should make money and spend it on me rather than on your wife. After you get married, you shouldn't forget about your mommy. Understand?”

The way she coaxed him was not enough to convince clever Bao. Bao looked at his mother with wooden and awkward look on his face: “Mommy, I'm just a kid. I don't know what you're talking about.”

Well, Bao did understand what his mother said a little. But he didn't want to wind up with no wife just because he listened to his mother.

Sheng Yeting happened to hear the conversation they had as he entered the room. He curved his lips into a slight smile, which was hard to notice.

Walking towards them, he was amused and asked: “This is how you educate your son?”

Xia Xingcheng didn't know he would came home at this time, she was embarrassed by his question. “I was just kidding.”

Sheng Yeting nodded and said nothing. Xia Xingcheng’s little face with a bit embarrassment somehow so charming to him at that moment.

Bao was so excited to see Sheng Yeting. Bao rushed to him and hugged his legs and said in an affectionate way: “Daddy, you’re home. I missed you so much.”

Surprisingly, Sheng Yeting got used to Bao calling him in that way already. He picked Bao up with a rare gentle look on his face. “Bao, are you hungry?”

Bao nodded. He was tugging Sheng Yeting’s sleeve and wouldn't let go.

“I am a little hungry. But Nana Chen said she made my favorite dish, sweet and sour pork ribs. I'm waiting for you to eat it together, will you?”

Saying this, Bao looked at Sheng Yeting, seeking his permission. There was expectation in his eyes.

Sheng Yeting’s heart was softened. He thought Bao hadn't ate with him yet, he must have been looking forward to a father since he was little.

“Okay, I will eat with you later.”

Sheng Yeting indulged Bao and smiled. Xia Xingcheng was stunned by his tender smile.

‘Is this still the same ice-cold person?’

As Sheng Yeting finished his sentence. Chen Ma came in. She saw Sheng Yeting holding Bao in his arms, looking affectionate. She thought if the two of them go out together like this, they would attract the attention of everyone.

Xia Xingcheng thought so too. Everyone, regardless of man or woman, if they were to get married, they would somehow lose their charm a little. But clearly Sheng Yeting was the exception. He became more charming after he got married!

Xia Xingcheng couldn't help but wonder, if Sheng Yeting go out with Bao, they would attract a lot of women. Because her son was just too handsome!

As Xia Xingcheng was absorbed in appreciation of Bao’s beauty, Chen Ma had already made dinner and called them to dine.

The three of them went downstairs together as a family. Seeing all the dishes on the table, Xia Xingcheng was surprised. There were all kinds of food there, like a banquet.

Bao’s eyes lit up after seeing all the food. He said with a lovely voice: “Nana Chen. You are awesome. You’ve cooked so much delicious food and all of them are my favorite.”

“I love your cooking so much. They are my favorite.”

Bao’s compliment made Chen Ma so happy. She smiled radiantly that even the wrinkles on her face all stretched out. She said to Bao: “My little Bao, eat more. I’m so happy to hear that you like them.”

“Chen Ma, join us please.” Sheng Yeting invited her to dine with them.

Chen Ma was like a mother to Sheng Yeting. As he was growing up, Chen Ma was there for him most of the time. So he never saw her as a servant.

Chen Ma hesitated. She used to dine with Sheng Yeting before Xia Xingcheng came. But Xia Xingcheng was the new Madame now. Although she looked like she was easy going, Chen Ma didn’t know if she would mind.

Seeing Chen Ma’s hesitation and embarrassment, Xia Xingcheng already guessed her worry. Of course she wouldn’t mind at all. She said: “Chen Ma, we can’t eat all of these. Come and join us.”

Hearing Chen Ma was gonna join them, Bao cleverly pulled up a chair for her. The image of his little body dragging a very big chair was hilarious. He was pulling and shouting with excitement: “Nana Chen, come quickly. I can't hold on to this anymore.”

Chen Ma was amused by Bao's appearance. Without hesitation, she walked to the table and began to dine with them.

Chen Ma glanced at Xia Xingcheng from time to time. She thought Sheng Yeting had found a good woman with good etiquette, who didn’t put on airs and behave like all those spoiled socialites.

Sheng Yeting had good perception for people indeed.

Sheng Yeting saw the approval in Chen Ma’s eyes. Although he didn't say anything, his face relaxed a little.

XX did not cause trouble for him. That was good. He did not want trouble.

Maybe he was very happy after dinner, Bao didn't cling on his mother as usual; instead, he played by himself in the living room.

Xia Xingcheng was on her laptop. As to that company she went to today, it seemed like there was little hope for her job. Instead of waiting for the bad news, it was better to start looking for a new job.

Although she was married to Sheng Yeting, it was only a temporary solution. After all, she didn't want to rely on anyone in the future.

Sheng Yeting was passing by the living room and saw her; he was surprised. He walked behind her and asked: “What are you doing?”

Xia Xingcheng was surprised by the sudden sound of his, she looked back and saw Sheng Yeting unsurprisingly.

Seeing Sheng Yeting, she finally found a person to pour her feelings of frustration on. She sighed heavily and said: “I just got a job a few days ago, but then there were company layoffs. That god damn CEO. Why did he have to do it now? It was not easy for me to find the job.”
