"Do you like it?" Shen Mo opened the car door and carried Little Bean out. "This is our new home."
"New home?" I repeated in disbelief. I had never imagined that one day I would live in such a luxurious house.
Shen Mo didn't say anything; he just smiled and took my hand, holding the still sleepy Little Bean in his other arm as we walked slowly into the villa.
As soon as we entered, I saw that the living room was spacious and bright, with a simple yet elegant decor that did not lack luxury or style. The floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked a lush green lawn, with a shimmering lake in the distance.
It was my favorite style.
I felt a wave of emotion wash over me.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Little Bean rubbed his eyes and excitedly looked around. "Mom, are we going to live here from now on?"
Before I could answer, Shen Mo spoke up. "Little Treasure, Dad has prepared a surprise for you. Do you want to see it?"
"What surprise?" Little Bean asked curiously.
Shen Mo smiled mysteriously, took Little Bean's hand, and led him to a room on the second floor.
When he opened the door, a playful children's room appeared before us.
Inside was a small bed with cartoon patterns, filled with various toys at the headboard. The walls were decorated with colorful wallpaper, and the entire room exuded warmth and childlike joy.
"Wow!" Little Bean cheered excitedly as he ran to the bed and picked up a Transformers toy, playing with it happily.
"Thank you, Dad! I love Transformers!" Little Bean ran over to Shen Mo and hugged his leg, beaming with joy.
Shen Mo affectionately ruffled his hair and turned to look at me, his eyes filled with tenderness. "Do you like it?"
"The old house has already been sold, so I had to buy this villa nearby, trying to replicate the decor style of Lin Family Old Residence..." His tone carried a hint of careful appeasement.
Watching Shen Mo interact warmly with Little Bean filled my heart with mixed emotions.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't touched.
I had fantasized countless times about giving Little Bean a warm and complete home, and now that wish had finally come true.
But here I was, just an ordinary worker; how could I stand on the same level as someone as outstanding as Shen Mo?
I took a deep breath to suppress my complicated feelings and walked over to Little Bean's side.
I slowly crouched down and gently patted Little Bean's head, saying, "Little treasure, from now on this will be our home. Do you like it?"
"I love it! I love being with Mom and Dad the most!" Little Bean happily hugged me and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
Shen Mo looked at the mother and child in front of him, a smile of happiness unconsciously forming at the corners of his mouth.
He also bent down, wrapping both me and Little Bean in his embrace.
Meanwhile, in a high-end apartment on the other side of City S, Zhao Siqi was sitting in front of her computer, browsing through photos in her classmates' group.
When she saw Shen Mo holding Little Bean, with Lin Qingqian standing beside him with her arm linked through his, smiling as they appeared as a happy family of three, a flash of resentment crossed her eyes.
"Lin Qingqian, how dare you!?" Zhao Siqi slammed her laptop shut, gritting her teeth as she said, "Shen Mo is mine; I will never let you take him away from me!"
She picked up her phone and dialed a number: "Help me look up someone..."
