Hearing that, Ye Moxuan frowned. “Did I come all the way here just to buy groceries for you?”
“What’s wrong with that? You came here to see me anyway. Is there any problem with running some errands for me?”
With that, Song An threw a sideways glance at Ye Moxuan.
“No, I’m not going.” Ye Moxuan refused directly. “You go.”
“Sure.” Song An stood up immediately. “Go with me. I need a company.”
Ye Moxuan quietly pursed his lips in slight dismay.
“What? What’s wrong with doing something for me?”
“The supermarket is just downstairs, isn’t it? Do you really need my company?”
“It’s always nice to have an extra pair of hands at the supermarket. Come on.”
Ye Moxuan frowned, but he finally went down with Song An, despite his reluctance.
“The air in Su City is so much better than that in North City; North City is too crowded. Did you know that I was often late for my work because of the traffic jam? It’s just the perfect timing that the hospital transfers me here to Su City. This kind of chance comes once in a blue moon,” Song An said with a wistful sigh as they entered the supermarket. Then, she asked him to get a shopping cart, which he did as told despite his reluctance.
Basically, he would do everything Song An told him to do.
The appearance of Ye Moxuan in the supermarket was sure to turn heads. Many girls gathered around, gawking at him excitedly.
“My God, that man is so handsome! Is that woman his girlfriend? The one who stands next to him.”
“Are you blind? It’s obvious that she is his mother.”
“No way. She looks pretty young.”
“Come on, it’s so obvious that they come from a wealthy family. She’s done a good job of maintaining herself. If you look closely, they have quite similar facial features, so I would say they must be related. Ah, I want to ask him if he has a girlfriend, or whether I can add him on WeChat or something.”
“Dream on! Men like him won’t even look at you. There must be a line of women queuing up to win his heart. Look at you—you have no strong suits. Why would he fall for you?”
Several salesgirls watched regretfully as Ye Moxuan and Song An walked away.
Ye Moxuan had been constantly frowning; no one knew if he overheard their conversations.
Song An, on the other hand, had heard it all. She smiled as she turned around and looked at Ye Moxuan while asking, “Hey, casanova, it seems that my nephew’s charm is still going strong. Wherever you go, girls swoon around you.”
Hearing her words, Ye Moxuan sounded a little annoyed as he huffed, “Aunty.”
“Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I know you can’t take a joke.” With that, Song An sighed and said helplessly, “Since Shen Qi left, you have—”
“Aunty!” The name seemed to be Ye Moxuan’s Achilles’ heel—he immediately frowned in dissatisfaction and stopped abruptly.
Song An raised her eyebrows and pouted slightly. “Alright, forget what I said. Let’s go.”
The two of them soon went to the second floor.
Not long after Ye Moxuan and Song An went to the second floor, Han Muzi and Little Bean had reached the supermarket. After entering, Little Bean raised his head and asked, “Mommy, can I take off my hat?”
Upon hearing his request, Han Muzi looked around. Perhaps they were out quite early today, for there were no paparazzi around.
Moreover, the reason the paparazzi went to stalk her yesterday was probably because she had just returned to the country. It would be meaningless for them to do the same today, so she assumed they wouldn’t pose a big problem in the future.
Thinking of this, Han Muzi nodded. “Yes, you can. Just take it off.”
When he heard this, he took off his hat happily. “Thanks, mommy.”
Han Muzi reached out and rubbed his little head. “Let’s go and get a shopping cart. We’ll be going to the fresh food area first.”
“Mommy, I want to push it!” Little Bean immediately volunteered and ran with his short legs to get the shopping cart.
When the girls who were previously swooning over Ye Moxuan saw Little Bean, they didn’t pay much attention to him. However, after a second glance, their eyes widened in shock, and they quickly tugged each other’s sleeves.
“See! I’ve told you—such a perfect man like him must be taken. I thought that he only had a girlfriend, but it turned out that he already has a son, and look how big his son is now!”
“Son? What the hell are you talking about?”
“Look at that kid. He looks exactly the same as the man just now!”
The girl’s friends looked in the direction she was pointing and said instantly, “Damn, they are almost 100% alike! How is this even possible? I was still thinking about asking for his WeChat account, but he already has a child! Argh, my heart bleeds!”
“They must have come together as a family for groceries shopping. Let’s just forget about him. Those handsome guys either have a girlfriend or a family. There’s no chance or whatsoever for us.”
One of them couldn’t help speaking to Little Bean, “Little guy, your daddy has gone upstairs.”
Confused, Little Bean pointed at himself, looking extremely cute. “Are you talking to me?”
“Oh my goodness, he’s so cute! He is completely different from that icy cold man!”
The ladies couldn’t help but walk to Little Bean. After pulling out a shopping cart for him, they nodded at him while saying, “Yes, we’re talking to you. Your daddy has gone to the second floor.”
One of the ladies thought she was giving him a kind reminder.
However, Little Bean blinked and looked at her with a pair of clear eyes. Although he didn’t understand what the young lady was saying, she seemed to be a kind person, so he nodded. “Thank you, pretty lady. I know.”
“You’re so cute! Can I… pinch your face, please?” One of them couldn’t help herself from making such a rude request.
Little Bean was stunned for a moment. Then, he stretched out his little index finger. Just when the girl thought that he had allowed her to pinch him, he shook his little finger seriously. “No, you can’t.”
The lady was a little disappointed, and her friends found it to be slightly regrettable too.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Followed by a fluttering sound of high heels, Han Muzi appeared in front of them with a bag on her shoulders and a smile on her face. “Hi ladies, may I ask what is going on here?”
“Mommy!” Little Bean walked back to Han Muzi and held her hand.
Hearing him calling her mommy, embarassment crept upon their faces. “I’m sorry, Miss. Your son is so cute so we couldn’t help ourselves but talk to him.”
Han Muzi was already accustomed to such situations, but she would normally ask them first out of courtesy.
“I see. Little Bean, say goodbye to the ladies. We still have to go shopping.”
“Goodbye!”
Han Muzi smiled at them and left with Little Bean.
As soon as they left, the girls got together again and started discussing among themselves.
“See? Look at how elegant and charismatic his wife is! We are not on the same level at all.”
Another girl hesitated before saying, “You’re right. Let’s stop being delusional and get back to work.”
“Hey, by the way, they went separate ways. The man went to the second floor but this woman went to the wet market area. What’s going on?”
“What else can it be? They’re buying their groceries separately. Didn’t you see that they came in at different times?”
