Elite Doting Marriage: Crafty Husband, Aloof Cute Wife Chapter 1752 - Don’t Ever Appear in Front of the Children (Part Two)

She was barely five, how could she be so sensible?

She glanced at Jiaojiao and asked, “Do you like Daddy or Mommy more?”

Jiaojiao replied with no hesitation. “Both Mommy and Daddy.”

This little la.s.s!

She had often asked Yanyan the same question. But Yanyan was easily tempted.

When she asked Yanyan who she liked more, she would always say Mommy.

There was a time that she chanced upon her grandmother asking her the same question with Mommy and Grandmother as her options. The girl replied Grandmother.

But Jiaojiao would always say both.

“I want Daddy and Mommy to be together forever.” Jiaojiao sat up and hugged Zhou Shuang. She put on a fawning and a sweet smile. “Mommy, don’t go. Daddy is such a poor thing. He got beaten by Great Grandfather. It’s so painful.”

Zhou Shuang was speechless when she heard that. She stretched her hand to stroke the la.s.s. “Darling.”

She couldn’t promise her, nor give her the answer she wanted.

Only G.o.d knew how much she wanted to stay with him, and how much her heart ached for him. But what does it mean to stay with him?

She was merely just the mother of his children? Or the woman he was forced to stay together for the rest of his life?

To Lu Yinan, she wasn’t anyone important. Neither was she indispensable. He would choose to sacrifice her if he needed to.

All these are words she could never tell Jiaojiao.

…

Lu Yinan bought the dumplings and held a huge bulging shopping bag in his other hand.

He placed the bag on the table and said to Zhou Shuang, “All your favorite snacks are inside. If you’re bored, you can eat them.”

It pleasantly surprised Zhou Shuang. And as she glanced at the bag, she was in disbelief.

She saw a few items poking out of the bag. There were chocolates, candies…

She didn’t imagine that Lu Yinan would know what she liked to eat.

His mother had most probably told him that she liked to snack while watching TV.

Lu Yinan had to work and entertain clients, so he was rarely at home. But she was home most of the time with his mother. And other than sleeping, she spent her time with his mother.

It had been four years, and no matter how un.o.bservant someone was, they were bound to notice each other’s habits.

So… there was nothing surprising.

Zhou Shuang… stop being delusional. Those were merely insignificant fragments of affection.

This cycle would never end.

Everything was destined and love can’t be forced.

Not everything would be worth the wait.

She should have understood this. After that incident, she should have known that she held no place in his heart.

She was merely his children’s mother. Without the children, what else was left between them?

They were just old cla.s.smates.

So, she hated herself for being so foolish for she had clung on to the slightest bit of hope.

Zhou Shuang bent her head, and she sighed to herself.

“Daddy doesn’t love me. You only buy for Mommy.” Jiaojiao ran to the table and took a peek at the contents of the bag. She pouted and glanced at Lu Yinan. “I only have dumplings. I don’t have snacks to eat.”

It rendered Lu Yinan speechless, and in turn, he affectionately rubbed her head. “Jiaojiao is not well so you can’t eat junk food. When you recover, Daddy will buy for you, alright?”
