Madam Xiao looked at her son, who was already a head taller than her and had a handso face. Her heart was already filled with bitterness. In her life… she owed a lot to her only son.
When she ca back to her senses and wanted to make it up to him, she suddenly realized that the son she abandoned no longer needed her concern, let alone motherly love.
However… she couldn't help but want to care about him. She wanted to try her best to make up for her mistake.
"Yuan…"
With tears in her eyes, Madam Xiao opened her mouth again.
Xia Jinyuan looked at the ti and then at Madam Xiao, who was about to cry. He frowned slightly and said calmly, "I'm going out to eat now. I have half an hour to spare."
"Alright, alright. Half an hour! Half an hour is fine. I know a good restaurant outside. The environnt is very quiet, and the dishes are very good. Let's eat there." She was afraid that Xia Jinyuan would find it troubleso, so she imdiately explained, "It's really not far. It's a five-minute walk. I'm a frequent custor there. I can ask them to serve the dishes in advance. It won't take up your ti."
Xia Jinyuan's agreent made Madam Xiao so happy that tears flowed out of her eyes. This was her son. He was her only concern for the rest of her life. She made so many mistakes when she was young. Now, she just wanted to make it up to him.
In the past, he always ignored her. Now, he had agreed to have a al with her. Did this an that her son was gradually accepting her care?
Madam Xiao raised her head and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. There was a deep look on her face. Other than getting her son's forgiveness as soon as possible, she had no other wishes.
The restaurant she ntioned was indeed not far away. Before Xia Jinyuan could sit down, Madam Xiao was already placing the order. After listing four to five dishes, Xia Jinyuan, who had a calm facial expression, knocked on the table with his slender fingers. "There's no need for so much."
"These are all the signature dishes of the restaurant. They're delicious. You can try them all. It doesn't matter if you can't finish them. They're all—"
"Madam Xiao."
Before she could finish, Xia Jinyuan interrupted her unhurriedly, "I don't have much ti."
His voice was very cold. It was like a bucket of cold water that was poured on Madam Xiao. Madam Xiao, who was overjoyed just a mont ago, froze bit by bit. In the end, her expression turned dark.
"Okay, it's only five dishes. I won't order any more." After closing the nu, Madam Xiao asked the waiter to serve her the dishes as soon as possible. Her excited mood gradually beca heavy. After sitting down, Madam Xiao saw the thermos that she had just placed on the dining table. A gentle and solemn smile appeared on her face again. "Do you want to try my soup first? It's still hot. Try it first to fill your stomach."
As she spoke, she opened the thermos. The sll of chicken soup floated over. Xia Jinyuan glanced at it without interest. "No need. I don't have the habit of drinking soup. Keep it for yourself."
It was a straightforward rejection. Madam Xiao, who froze, silently tightened the thermos lid again. Her son didn't like the chicken soup she made either…
Just as she was about to say sothing, the phone in her handbag rang. Madam Xiao said softly, "I'll take this call." She lowered her head and silently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
She thought that this al could help them repair their mother-son relationship. Unexpectedly… she was thinking too much.
She took out her phone from her bag and saw who the caller was. Madam Xiao glanced at Xia Jinyuan and hesitated to answer.
