He looked at me, then at our son, and sighed helplessly.
"Alright, I knew it would be like this."
"Why?" our son asked, confused.
"Because your mom likes Uncle Qin Jin," my husband said with a hint of resentment, "so you like him too."
"That's not true," our son immediately retorted. "I like Uncle Qin Jin because I think he's good-looking."
"..."
My husband was heartbroken again.
I couldn't help but chuckle, "Okay, stop teasing him."
My husband sighed and fell silent.
But our son was still eager, "Mom, I want to hear more stories about you and Dad."
"Sure," I said with a smile, "the stories of Mom and Dad are quite long."
"Yeah," our son nodded vigorously. "I want to hear them for a lifetime."
"Alright."
I smiled and kissed his little cheek.
My husband leaned in as well and kissed the other side of his little face.
"Baby, Mom and Dad will always love you."
"I love you too," our son said, wrapping his small arms around our necks and smiling.
"Dad and Mom, I want to hear your stories."
"Okay, we'll tell you."
My husband and I exchanged smiles and began to share our stories.
The sound of my son's laughter was as crisp as silver bells, echoing in the room. My husband and I looked at each other, our eyes filled with love. We would always be happy together. Surely.
"Ding dong—" At that moment, my WeChat notification suddenly rang. I picked up my phone to see a message from my best friend, Du Mei.
"Yao Yao, I'm going to divorce Zhang Qiang. Can you help take care of Sweetie tonight?"
I was stunned. What was going on? Didn't they have a good relationship? Why were they suddenly getting a divorce? Before I could process it, my husband's phone also rang. He looked at his phone, and his expression turned serious.
"What's wrong?" I asked, puzzled.
"Zhang Qiang said he wants to divorce Du Mei and asked me to help take care of Jiajia tonight."
"Ah?" I was even more confused. What was happening?
"Should we try to talk them out of it?" I asked worriedly.
"Let's wait a bit," my husband said after thinking for a moment. "Maybe they're just being impulsive; once they calm down, it will be fine."
"Okay." I nodded.
Sure enough, not long after, both my best friend and Tian Yang sent messages saying they had reconciled and didn't need us to help take care of the kids anymore.
My husband and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness nothing happened," I said, patting my chest, still feeling a bit shaken.
"Yeah," my husband replied with a smile, "so we must cherish the people in front of us and not make impulsive decisions."
"Mm." I nodded vigorously.
My husband looked at me, his gaze gentle as water.
I felt shy under his gaze and lowered my head.
But our son covered his mouth and started to giggle.
"Daddy, Mommy, what are you doing?"
"Uh..."
My husband and I exchanged glances and both burst into laughter.
"We're in love, sweetie."
"What does being in love mean?"
"It means liking each other and being together, just like Daddy and Mommy."
"Oh." Our son suddenly understood, "Then I want to be in love too."
"Hahaha..."
My husband and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Son, you're still young. When you grow up, someone will naturally fall in love with you."
"Mm." Our son nodded earnestly, "I will find a girl as pretty as Mommy to be in love with."
"That's great."
I smiled and kissed his little face.
My husband also kissed his little face.
"Baby, Daddy and Mommy will always love you."
"I love you too."
