Humiliated by my mother-in-law, I married into a wealthy family with my son four years later

Chapter 277 Buying the Next Door

Su Heng turned and looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and finally fell silent.

The dishes were served, Jiang Man took them silently, and placed them on the dining table.

"Can we eat now?" Xuanxuan ran over excitedly, but suddenly said, "Uh... Mom, the food seems a little burnt."

Jiang Man quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mom was a little absent-minded today."

The little guy smiled knowingly: "It's okay! I like everything made by mommy!" As he said that, he reached out his little hand, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

Jiang Man gently stroked his little face. Xuanxuan quietly tugged at the corner of her clothes and asked softly, "Mom, are you unhappy because of what was just broadcast on TV?"

Jiang Man was stunned. She originally thought Xuanxuan didn't care, but in fact, children's thoughts are always difficult for adults to understand.

"Mom, please don't be unhappy, okay? Uncle Su will never abandon us."

Jiang Man's heart suddenly tightened at his son's words.

She was reflecting on whether it was because she failed to give her son enough sense of security that Xuanxuan had such thoughts at such a young age?

She lowered her head sadly. After all, she was not a good enough mother.

Su Heng stood behind the two of them, frowning slightly.

The atmosphere during the meal was a bit depressing, even Xuanxuan noticed it, so he quickly sped up his eating and after finishing his meal, he obediently went into the living room to do his homework.

Jiang Man was washing dishes in the kitchen when she suddenly felt someone hugging her from behind.

Su Heng rested his chin on her shoulder, looked at her gradually reddening earlobe, and apologized in a low and sincere voice: "I'm sorry." He said, "This mess is all my fault."

Jiang Man remained silent and just shook his head slightly.

He slowly held her hand and said, "I will take care of it and will never let you suffer any injustice."

She stopped what she was doing, looked up at him, and he suddenly kissed her on the lips.

"Hey, you guys are doing something shameful."

Jiang Man was startled. She turned around and saw Xuanxuan standing at the door. Her cheeks flushed instantly. She quickly pushed Su Heng out and said, "Get out quickly. Don't interfere with my work."

Su Heng left reluctantly, glanced at the little guy still standing at the door, squatted down and discussed with him: "In the future, can it be possible?"

Xuanxuan cleverly replied, "Just pretend you didn't see it!"

He snapped his fingers. "That's right."

Xuanxuan smiled and said, "There's a new game recently. Xiaoyong said it's really fun, but mom doesn't let me play it." The little guy sighed, holding his chin with his hand, "It really makes me sad."

How do we understand the sadness of a five-year-old child?

Su Heng couldn't help laughing and tapped his little head gently: "Tell Uncle Lin what you want, and he will buy it for you."

"Really?" Xuanxuan's big eyes sparkled with excitement.

Su Heng nodded and smiled warmly: "Then what are you going to do?"

Xuanxuan stood at attention, "From now on, whenever I see you kissing mom, I will pretend I didn't see it and go back to my room obediently!"

He nodded with satisfaction: "Very good." The big hand patted his little head lovingly.

Jiang Man came out with some fruit, "What are you talking about? You look so happy."

Xuanxuan quickly ran over to take it, then carefully placed the fruit plate on the table and said, "Uncle Su is teaching me to help Mom with housework more."

Su Heng raised his eyebrows, his eyes revealing his approval of Xuanxuan's cleverness.

"Well, Uncle Su is right, but Xuanxuan has always done very well."

"Of course, I'm Mommy's little helper!"

"Haha, yes!"

It was not until he saw the smiles on the faces of the mother and son that the corners of Su Heng's mouth rose slightly.

At night, Su Heng wanted to stay overnight, but Jiang Man pushed him out the door without any courtesy, "Mr. Su, our place is too small to accommodate you."

Before she could finish, Su Heng dragged her to the next room without saying anything, "It's okay, my room is plenty big."

Standing at the door, Jiang Man was stunned.

Damn it, how could she have forgotten? This young master has already bought the house next door!

In just one day, the house was perfectly organized. The kitchen was spotless, so clean there wasn't a single utensil! The living room consisted of a sofa and a wall-to-wall TV. The rest of the appliances were just ordered today. The bedroom was even simpler, with just one oversized bed!

She looked around and then returned her gaze to him. "You're not really planning on living here, are you?"

“Why not?” he said. “I have my wife and son here.”

Su Heng stared at her, frowning unhappily, "You don't want me to live here?"

Jiang Man looked away, "Not really, I don't think so."

"Then you want me to live here." The corners of his mouth curved up again, and he suddenly pulled her over, brought her into the bedroom, and pressed her down on the big bed.

Jiang Man lost her balance and screamed in fright. He then pressed on her, and her whole body was almost sinking into the soft mattress.

"Manman, I miss you."

Such straightforward words made Jiang Man's face instantly hot as a sunset glow.

"Xuanxuan is still at home."

He pointed casually and said, "The door is open. If you're worried, you can go check on him anytime."

Jiang Man turned his head away, "That won't work either."

"Why?" He immediately narrowed his eyes, looking a little persistent.

Jiang Man bit his lip and whispered, "I haven't taken a shower yet."

He raised the corners of his lips a little, "Wash together."

Without saying anything, he picked her up and strode towards the bathroom.

Next door, Xuanxuan turned over and opened his eyes drowsily, "Mom."

The little guy rubbed his eyes. There was no sign of his mother around, so he turned over calmly and continued to sleep, mumbling, "Uncle Su must have 'kidnapped' me again."

When Jiang Man woke up, Su Heng was no longer by his side.

On the table were the notes and breakfast he left behind.

"I've already sent Xuanxuan to kindergarten. Please enjoy breakfast when you wake up. P.S. Due to my busy schedule last night, I'm granting you a day off today—your exclusive Boss."

Jiang Man's cheeks flushed again as she recalled Su Heng's enthusiasm last night, like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey.

He prepared breakfast himself, a simple fried egg, ham and fragrant white porridge.

She sat down slowly, savoring every bite of food, a faint sense of happiness welling up in her heart. She knew Su Heng was an excellent cook, but there were only a handful of people who could let him cook for them personally.

So, what about Ding Xin?

Realizing that he was daydreaming again, Jiang Man was stunned.

What was she doing, making wild suspicions like a nagging woman?

Then she shook her head violently.

No, this is not how she should be.

Jiang Man didn't enter the company until the afternoon, and he bumped into someone as soon as he entered the door.
