Mr.CEO Looks Exactly the Same as My Son!-Chapter 5: Lan Shan

Just thinking about my poor butt being in trouble again, I reached out and touched it, looking utterly hopeless...

"Is that all?"

The little guy's way of touching his butt was just too cute.

Ye Xinluo's lips curved into a faint smile, but the moment she met Jingxi's eyes, she immediately restrained it.

"I shouldn't have said Mom's looks are just okay."

"Hmm?"

"Mom is very beautiful. In Jingxi's heart, Mom is the most beautiful."

Afraid Ye Xinluo wouldn't believe it, Jingxi even held up three fingers as if taking an oath,

Ye Xinluo was completely amused by him, and the corners of her mouth widened even more.

Seeing her smile, the little guy finally sighed in relief.

Phew~

My butt is safe this time...

So good!

He showed a sweet smile, with two dimples, which made people feel much better just by looking at it.

"You also said Mom doesn't let you eat sweets."

"Said Mom was bad..."

"And said when Mom gets angry, she looks like a bristling cat, so ugly and unsightly."

Ye Xinluo repeated the little guy's words, subtly observing his every move out of the corner of her eye.

Jingxi listened seriously, and with each sentence, his heart inexplicably trembled a little.

Mom, please stop.

Baby is scared inside...

Don't smile at me, it's terrifying. I'm so worried my butt will get in trouble...

She's already very fierce!

She already doesn't let me eat sweets!

She indeed looks like a bristling cat when she gets angry, so ugly, so unsightly.

I'm just stating the facts and yet I'll get scolded!

Woo woo...

Baby feels bitter inside but won't say...

Jingxi only thought these things in his heart; no matter what, he dared not tell Ye Xinluo.

Thinking this way in his heart, the smile on his face became even brighter. "Mom, I was wrong. Please don't be mad, okay?

Is that okay?"

He looked at Ye Xinluo with a face full of flattery.

Watching his reaction, Ye Xinluo was bursting with joy inside.

In the past, she was always at a loss for words by this little guy.

Now it's my turn!

Let's see if you'll still be so proud in the future...

Hmph hmph...

"Alright, Mom's not mad anymore."

Ye Xinluo, utterly unable to resist Jingxi's tactics, conceded with raised hands.

"Hehe, Mom's the best."

"Go, go, stop trying to sweet-talk me."

Ye Xinluo disdainfully pushed the little guy lightly.

"No, Mom's the best. Jingxi loves Mom the most."

Those words were true; from birth till now, Ye Xinluo has always been by his side.

Although he occasionally makes some sharp-tongued remarks,

his dependence on Ye Xinluo has only ever increased.

"Really?" Ye Xinluo raised an eyebrow.

"Yep, really, really, even more real than diamonds."

Pfft...

Ye Xinluo couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed out loud.

Darling, that's not how you use that phrase...

She helplessly rested her head in her hand.

But because of that simple, innocent remark, her heart softened completely.

"Mom, eat more from now on."

"Hmm?"

Not expecting him to suddenly say something like this, she was a bit confused about what he meant.

"Mom is too skinny, it makes Jingxi feel worried. Gain a bit more weight, it's more comfortable to hug."

It was as if a ray of sunlight shone into her heart, warm and gentle.

Such a young child probably doesn't understand what caring for someone feels like yet.

But often, words like these are the most touching.

The little guy's concern for her, Ye Xinluo could see it clearly.

Although he doesn't say much, Ye Xinluo understands in her heart that her little one has a proud nature and just wouldn't say it to her.

At this moment, Ye Xinluo's heart was filled with happiness.

If heaven gave her a chance to choose again, she would still choose without hesitation,

to give birth to this little guy...

Jingxi is very sensible, he never cries or fusses.

When Ye Xinluo was busy before, he never clung to her to play with him.

Give him a toy and he could play with it on his own all day long,

while other kids were still babbling, Jingxi had already learned to dress himself, wash his face, and brush his teeth.

When other kids pestered their parents to play with them, Jingxi could play with a toy all day by himself.

Returning to her senses, she gently patted the little guy's furry head.

Pressed a kiss on the little guy's forehead.

Darling, thank you.

Thank you for choosing me,

for choosing me to be your Mom...

Accompanying the little guy to watch TV for a while,

around 10 p.m., the little guy couldn't resist his sleepiness and yawned several times.

"Sleepy?"

"Hmm."

He rested his head on Ye Xinluo's lap, his eyelids fighting against each other.

"Mom will take you to bed."

She carried him and stood up, walking into the bedroom.

Laying Jingxi on the bed, she took off his shoes and clothes, then turned and walked into the bathroom.

She came out with a wet towel, carefully wiping the little guy's body, then pulled the quilt over him.

Detoured to the bathroom to wash up briefly before returning to bed to lie down.

The night was already deep. Lying in bed, Ye Xinluo tried to sleep many times but couldn't, so she simply gave up, reached for her phone from under the pillow, lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and walked to the balcony.

The night wind was a bit chilly, and the cold breeze continued to blow, causing her to shiver all over in just her pajamas.

She stared at the night sky for a long time, then lifted her phone, swiping the screen to enter the contacts.

After a few swipes, her finger finally settled on a name—Lan Shan.

Lan Shan, the eldest daughter of the Lan Family in Z City. Her father was the chairman of Lan Group, quite a figure in Z City.

Lan Shan was lively and cheerful, not at all having the temperament of a privileged daughter.

She was naturally friendly with everyone. When Ye Xinluo first met her, she didn't talk much, but Lan Shan would always follow her around, chatting incessantly.

"Xinluo, let's go to the library and read!"

"Xinluo, let's go to the cafeteria for a meal!"

"Xinluo, let's go play!"

Memories, like a rushing flood, broke free to engulf her, and past scenes unfolded before her eyes.

Back then, they were carefree, such wonderful times.

She once doubted how someone like Lan Shan, who loved talking so much, could play with her so happily.

However, the truth proved that not only did they play together.

She was also her college roommate and best friend.

They had known each other since high school, and it had been many years already.

Ever since leaving Z City and going to America, they haven't contacted each other, and she wasn't sure if this number was still in use.

After hesitating for a long while, she finally made up her mind and dialed the number.

Ring...

Ring...

Ring...

The call rang several times with no answer until a woman's voice came from the receiver.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

Hanging up, she glanced at the time on her phone.

Past midnight, probably asleep!

Thinking this way, Ye Xinluo opened the message app, tapped a few times on the screen, and composed a message.

The message was simple, consisting of just two words.

"Shanshan."

After typing it out, she sent it without even checking it.

Although it was just two words, she knew Lan Shan would understand what it meant.

When the screen showed the message "Sent successfully," Ye Xinluo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She waited for a while, but there was no reply. She figured Lan Shan must be asleep!

Thinking this, Ye Xinluo lowered her eyes, put away her phone, and turned back to the bedroom.

Climbing back into bed, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
