School Hunk or Childhood Sweetheart?-Chapter 442 - 443: You Said the Same Thing Last Time

On the other side, the girl caught up with Jiang Yu and tentatively asked, "Ah Yu, did you know the woman just now?"

"I don’t know her," Jiang Yu replied coldly.

The girl, upon hearing this, couldn’t completely let go of her suspicion, feeling that his gaze toward the other person seemed somewhat unusual.

Because of her encounter with Jiang Yu, Shen Tan had lost her mood for shopping at the supermarket. She went straight to the food section, randomly picked up a box of instant noodles, and headed to the cashier to pay.

After returning to her rented apartment, Shen Tan boiled water for noodles while calling the agent to schedule a viewing for apartments.

Due to her limited time, she couldn’t visit each property one by one, so she entrusted the task of buying a house to the agent.

After conveying her requirements and desired price to the agent, he quickly recommended a few suitable properties and arranged to show her around tomorrow morning.

Having sorted out the viewing arrangements, Shen Tan felt much better.

The inviting aroma of the instant noodles wafted through the room shortly after.

Just as she lifted the noodles out of the pot, she received a video call request from her precious daughter.

Shen Tan placed the noodles on the coffee table in the living room and answered. A cute smiling face soon appeared on the screen.

"Mom, have you eaten yet?" the little girl asked with concern as soon as she spoke.

"I’m about to eat. Have you had your meal, Ningbao?" Shen Tan’s face broke into an involuntary smile when she saw her daughter.

"I’ve eaten. Grandma Jing made us pizza, and it was delicious," the little girl crisply responded.

"Mom, what did you eat?" The little girl was quick with another curious question.

"Me? I, of course, have a feast by myself when you’re not around!" Shen Tan laughed.

"Mom, are you secretly eating instant noodles again?" Suddenly, a serious little head squeezed into the camera frame.

"Err..." It was then that Shen Tan noticed the exposed instant noodle box had accidentally come into view.

She decisively moved the phone away and said, "No, you saw it wrong!"

The person on the other side kept a straight face while looking at her through the phone screen, "The teacher says, lying is not what good children do!"

Shen Tan: "...Your teacher is right!"

Shen Tan: "I made a mistake. I promise you, this will be the last time."

But the little one wasn’t convinced.

"You said that last time too," Shen Yan, the cute little one, said with a frown looking at her.

Adult promises were not at all reliable.

Shen Tan: ...

Why did she feel like she had not given birth to a son but a little steward?

"Fine, I’ll listen to Yanbao. I won’t eat it!" In order not to leave her son with the impression that her word couldn’t be trusted, Shen Tan resigned herself to throwing the instant noodles into the living room trash can.

Only then did the satisfied expression appear on young Shen Yan’s face. He didn’t forget to remind her, "When Ningbao and I are not there, you need to behave and eat properly even when you’re by yourself."

"I know!"

Shen Tan increasingly felt as if their roles had been reversed; the smelly boy seemed to be the parent instead.

And she was more like the child being looked after.

Funny to think about.

In the end, she didn’t forget to remind her little one, "Remember to listen to Grandma Jing and Aunt Wei Yi, and take good care of your sisters."

"I know!" The little guy solemnly promised.

After ending the call, Shen Tan looked at the instant noodles in the trash can and resignedly opened her phone again.

However, after looking at Meituan for a while, she still didn’t know what to order.

Since she had promised her little guy to eat properly, Shen Tan had to get up, deciding to make another trip to the convenience store downstairs.
