"You really can't call me that," Huo Shao Ting replied seriously, leaving Rong Dai somewhat speechless.
Although Little Xu Heng felt a bit disappointed, he still nodded earnestly.
"You probably haven't had dinner yet. Heng Heng wants to go to the restaurant for a meal. Shall we go together?" Rong Dai remembered the main purpose and looked at him with a hopeful expression, seeking his opinion.
Huo Shao Ting couldn't resist her. After all, she was his wife. Besides doting on her, what else could he do?
However, before leaving, Little Xu Heng's complexion didn't look too good, probably because he had been playing for too long in the afternoon.
Huo Shao Ting certainly couldn't let his wife do the lifting. He had to do it himself.
Rong Dai watched as he carried Little Xu Heng. Although her face seemed a little stiff, the gesture was still gentle.
In the future, her Shao Ting should become an excellent father like Xu Chuan, right?
Rong Dai hoped in her heart as the three of them entered the restaurant like a small family of three.
Rong Dai kept in mind Little Xu Heng's condition, so after the dishes were served, she took care of him attentively throughout the meal, being meticulous and considerate, with a motherly smile on her face.
Huo Shao Ting was left hanging by her, feeling a sourness in his heart and a bit worried that she was getting too tired.
But he couldn't show it.
Otherwise, if he competed with a little kid for attention, his position in his wife's heart would be too light!
So, he had to eat with a black face throughout the meal.
Rong Dai hardly ate anything that night. Just taking care of Little Xu Heng's meal made her incredibly content.
Her desire to be a mother in both lives had been fulfilled. How could she still have the appetite to eat?
After finally finishing the meal and leaving the restaurant, Little Xu Heng got lazy and requested to be carried.
Huo Shao Ting looked down at him with a dark face, while Rong Dai, feeling helpless, softly pleaded, "Shao Ting, just carry him for a bit."
"Just consider it as... letting him experience it in advance. When we have our own children in the future, it'll be good to be more skilled."
Rong Dai originally thought he would agree, but she didn't expect Huo Shao Ting's face to darken even more.
After a few seconds of deadlock, Huo Shao Ting reluctantly carried Little Xu Heng.
Little did Rong Dai know, she had made a big loss with this meal!
Throughout the meal, she left Huo Shao Ting alone, her eyes fixed on Little Xu Heng, completely ignoring his presence.
This made Huo Shao Ting deeply feel the crisis.
He began to doubt whether having a child would become a competition for attention with him.
Rong Er loved children so much, would there still be a place for him in her heart?
Huo Shao Ting felt uneasy, his mind filled with all sorts of messy thoughts, and he accompanied her back to the hospital.
Shortly after the three of them returned, the door to the hospital room knocked.
Xu Chuan and Lu Nianzhi came back together.
Xu Chuan's expression was still the same as before, but Lu Nianzhi's face was much calmer than before.
Although there was still a faint disgust, it wasn't as obvious.
"Huo CEO, Mrs. Huo, sorry to bother you. Heng Heng didn't cause any trouble, right?" Xu Chuan didn't expect Huo Shao Ting to be there too, showing even more apologetic expression.
Rong Dai smiled and said, "It's alright. Heng Heng is very well-behaved. He just had dinner. It's probably because he played for too long in the afternoon."
"So when Shao Ting carried him back, he was already asleep."
Rong Dai didn't let Little Xu Heng sleep on her hospital bed. Instead, she spread a clean sheet on the sofa and had Little Xu Heng sleep on it.
"In that case, I'll wait for Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo to be available another day, and then I'll invite them as guests to express my gratitude. For now, I'll take little Heng Heng home."
Xu Chuan looked at his son on the sofa with gentle eyes and politely said to the couple.
Rong Dai didn't object either. Huo Shao Ting couldn't wait for this child to leave.
Xu Chuan lifted Little Xu Heng up in his arms. The little one, still half asleep, smiled when he saw Xu Chuan and said, "Daddy, you're here to pick up Heng Heng..."
