Ai Bao nodded dumbly. Yes.

How old is he? He gritted his teeth harder.

Ai Bao counted on her fingers. I think hes about six.

Putting a palm over his forehead, An Yibei took a few deep breaths. He didnt know how to react to this piece of news.

Ai Bao was 25 now and the kid was six years old, which meant that she gave birth to him at 19 and got pregnant at 18. She would be just out of high school or in her first year in college

Who did this to you? And he didnt take responsibility for it? An Yibei narrowed his eyes. All he could think of now was to settle this account for Ai Bao!

Ai Bao had no idea that An Yibei had been misled. She asked, What responsibility? And why?

She looked so innocent that An Yibei said in resignation, Whatever. Ill take care of you both!

He had just been made a dad; so be it!

Ai Bao was elated. Wow, Mr. An, youre so kind! Im sure Pudding will love you!

Pudding? Well, that was a sweet name.

Ai Bao ran downstairs and returned in a minute.

An Yibei rubbed his forehead, ready to meet his new son.

Arf A cute Samoyed barked at him.

So, her son has a pet? An Yibei thought. Just then, Ai Bao said cheerfully, Mr. An, this is my son, Pudding! Isnt he adorable?

An Yibei: !!!

Pudding was a dog?!

He had been thinking too much this whole time, then?!

Mr. An, why are you so quiet?

Obviously An Yibei wasnt going to tell her that he had misunderstood. He said casually, Yes, hes pretty cute.

Pudding stuck out its tongue at him, looking very friendly.

That afternoon, the couple and the dog left for Ye City.

Once they arrived at the apartment, An Yibei began to take the luggage in his and Ai Baos.

Ai Bao was confused. Arent I living in the other apartment?

An Yibei had bought two duplex departments in the building. Both had been renovated and were ready to be lived in.

I lost the key to that apartment, replied An Yibei casually. I guess we have no choice but to live together.

Apparently, Ai Baos brain was turning much faster today. Why dont we get a locksmith to open it?

An Yibei arched an eyebrow, pressed her to the wall, and asked in a low voice, You dont want to live with me?

Ai Baos cheeks turned pink right away!

I Im not She was just shy! And, it also frightened her a little

Ill take that as a yes, then. An Yibei deliberately misinterpreted her. Alright, go pick your room. Which do you prefer? The guest bedroom or the master bedroom?

Needless to say, the master bedroom was his bedroom.

Ai Bao lowered her head, and from this angle, he could only see her red ears. Mr. An, please dont

An Yibei rubbed her head. That was a very simple multiple choice question.

Can I choose? Really?

Of course not. An Yibei smiled cunningly. Were sharing a bedroom and thats settled.

Ai Bao felt like crying. Dont you think its a bit too soon?

Is it? An Yibei rubbed his chin. Billions of people live in this world. Do you know how improbable it is that we should run into each other?

Of course Ai Bao knew that; it was just that she couldnt get used to how quickly things were moving.

Arf! Pudding, who had been ignored this whole time, barked and began to run around them. The look on An Yibeis face softened a little and he decided not to press too hard. Take the guest bedroom, if thats what you want. But Im looking forward to the day when you move into the master bedroom with me.
