Out of shyness, she usually asks her son to grab items from the supermarket and put them in the cart.
"Not just your son, but also your boyfriend!" Lin Haoran curled his lips, laughing incredibly pleased with himself.
"Humph..." Lin Xiangwan exposed an expression of disdain.
"Does Mommy disagree?" Lin Haoran quickly gathered the snacks spread out on the bed into his lap, threatening with food.
"Who said I disagreed, of course, I agree!" Lin Xiangwan cradled her son in her arms, giving a big smooch on his little face. "My son is handsome, considerate, and smart. He's truly a top-notch little man. How could I, as a mom, miss out on him? That would be such a loss!"
"Humph..." Lin Haoran raised his small chin haughtily, looking at his mother with contempt. "It's smart of you to recognize this. Here, eat all these!"
"Thanks!" Lin Xiangwan put her son back on the bed, quickly returning the food back within her reach.
Lin Haoran wrinkled his little nose, his thick brows furrowed together. His confused expression was adorably sullen. "Mommy, you're so calculating! As soon as I agree to something, you treat me like trash!"
Lin Xiangwan has always disregarded her son's sarcastic remarks, especially when there's food in front of her.
She opened a container of jello pudding, licked the slippery fruit flesh, hesitating whether to take a bite. "Should I eat it, son? Will I get fat if I eat too much at night?"
"You're not exactly skinny to begin with!" Lin Haoran didn't mince his words.
"But I'm not fat, right?" Lin Xiangwan looked down at herself, quite satisfied. "I think it's pretty good!"
"So, Mommy doesn't need to lose weight!"
"OK!"
Lin Xiangwan swallowed the jello pudding in one bite, immediately filling her mouth with the flavor of mango. "Freshly made jello pudding really is delicious!"
"I had to stand in line to buy it, and it was especially crowded today!"
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Lin Xiangwan gave her son another peck. "You're really considerate!"
"As long as you know!" Lin Haoran vigorously wiped away the saliva from his face.
After consuming quite a few snacks, Lin Xiangwan started to feel guilty. She picked up a hula hoop and began to hula in the middle of the room.
"Mommy, do you think it's okay that you're hula hooping here on Valentine's Day, leaving me alone?" Lin Haoran asked dissatisfied.
Lin Xiangwan picked up a large Barbie doll, shoving it into her son's arms. "Let it keep you company!"
Little Haoran sat dazedly with the Barbie, speechless!
Does a mother usually set this kind of bad example for her son?
Early the next morning.
"Haoran, hurry up and get dressed. Don't dawdle. We're going to be late for school!" Lin Xiangwan, fully dressed and ready, stood at the doorway urging her son.
"Wait... I'll be ready soon!" Lin Haoran was busily stuffing his little school bag in his room. It was already bulging but he continued to cram things in.
Watching her son taking his time inside, Lin Xiangwan called out, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing!" Lin Haoran tried to use his small body to conceal his secret.
But his small body couldn't hide anything.
The snacks that hadn't been packed, along with the colorful wrappers lining his school bag, all caught Lin Xiangwan's eye. "Hey, isn't this mine? Why are you taking it back?"
"Hehe..." Lin Haoran laughed awkwardly while continuously stuffing his school bag. "... you're not going to eat it, I'm afraid it will go bad if left out. It's better to share it with the other kids!"
She knew her son didn't like these snacks, so she won't worry about him eating them secretly.
But, that doesn't mean he's up to something good.
The suspicious mother narrowed her eyes. "Are you being generous? Sharing with the other kids? Are you giving it to boys or girls??"
"Hehe..." Lin Haoran chuckled awkwardly. "This... that..."
After groping around for words and not finding any, he stomped his foot in frustration. "Ah~ Mom, you're really something. You know how I'm going to distribute it, but you still have to ask!" It's like she wanted to embarrass him.
In truth, he just wanted to give the snacks to the cute little girls.
Lin Xiangwan pinched her son's little face, asking dissatisfiedly, "Lin Haoran, is this how you conduct yourself? These were meant to please me, but now you're using them to please someone else! Giving others gifts intended for me? You're really stingy."
Lin Haoran spread his hands helplessly. "What else can I do? I can't earn money, and I can't ask Mom for money!"
Mom's salary isn't very high, and it has to cover expenses for the both of them, which is very hard.
Of course, this is what his mom told him. Mom also told him that when he grows up, he must work hard to earn money to support her, so she can live in a big villa. There would be ten or so servants on rotation to serve her every day, and her room would be filled with luxury goods!
If he doesn't do all this, it would be unfilial.
Thinking about all this, he feels overwhelmed!
So, having Mom as a girlfriend is way easier than having her as a mom!
"At least you're sensible. Okay, take the snacks and share them with your friends. Don't just give them to girls and not boys, okay?" Lin Xiangwan instructed.
"Oh..."
"Don't just agree without actually doing it!"
"I got it, Mom!" After agreeing, Lin Haoran moved closer to Mom's thigh and said, "Mom, I always listen to my girlfriend, don't worry!"
Lin Xiangwan moved towards the door, dragging her son along, muttering, "If you really listened to Mom, we wouldn't keep getting concern calls from the kindergarten teacher!"
"That's because the teacher is too nosy..."
"Oh..." Lin Xiangwan's voice rose a notch, carrying an unmistakable threat.
Lin Haoran immediately realized his mistake. "I mean, too responsible!"
"In short, we'll see how you perform today!"
Driving in her old, black Twitter car, mother and son made their way out among a pile of Lamborghinis, Bentleys, Ferraris, and other luxury cars.
Lin Haoran watched the luxury cars outside with longing eyes, his saliva almost dribbling down. "Mommy, when can we get a new car? Our car looks really shabby!"
"It performs very well, where is it shabby?" Lin Xiangwan floored the accelerator and the small Twitter car shot out of the parking lot.
"See, isn't the power of the car impressive?"
Before she finished speaking, 'bang bang bang....' the car made strange noises and the engine died.
Lin Xiangwan tried turning the ignition key again, but the car wouldn't start.
"Oh..." Little Haoran couldn't bear to face reality and closed his eyes.
"Shoot, the car broke down!" Lin Xiangwan cried anxiously.
With her son on the verge of being late for school, what could she do?
"I told you before, the car needs to be replaced!"
Just then, a limited-edition luxury business car glided past the small Twitter car. The stable operation of the car, even the faint sound it makes, exudes a sense of luxury —
