Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love-Chapter 389: In my heart, you will always be number one

Xie Xiao did not immediately respond to that, and it seemed Luo Yanran casually mentioned it just then.

The family of three went home like that.

The little one was likely very happy to see his mother, as he giggled in the back of the car due to Luo Yanran’s teasing.

He completely forgot that he had planned to be angry with his mom.

When they got home, mother and son were closely bonded and returned home affectionately.

Xie Xiao tried to hold the little one, but he resisted being held.

He was back to being clingy with his mom.

Xie Xiao couldn’t help but grin and bear it.

Back at home, Auntie Huang wanted to hold the child, but Tuan Zi was reluctant to be held.

It was still Luo Yanran who held him and soothed him for a while before the little one realized they were home, and with both parents around, he finally went with Auntie Huang to eat his baby food.

The little one was probably really tired, played for a while after eating, and had just bathed. Luo Yanran set him down, and he fell asleep on the bed.

Xie Xiao just watched Auntie Huang leave and then closed the door.

Then he entered the bedroom and saw Luo Yanran tucking their son in.

He paused for a moment then asked softly, "Asleep?"

Luo Yanran smiled and nodded her head.

The couple walked out together.

Xie Xiao poured a glass of water for Luo Yanran and pulled her to sit down on the love seat beside the bed, "Did you get used to work today?"

After all, it had been over half a year since she returned to her position.

Being back at work for the first day was somewhat uncomfortable. Your next read is at novelbuddy

Luo Yanran snuggled into Xie Xiao’s arms and quietly shared her state of mind.

What she talked about most was missing their child.

Xie Xiao patiently listened, his hand gently stroking her back.

But his eyes were filled with concern.

After Luo Yanran finished talking, Xie Xiao comforted her with a few words, and at her request, he spoke about what their son did all day at the company.

His tone was mostly helpless and bitter, eventually adding, "It’s hard on you, wife, having to take care of the child every day."

Luo Yanran laughed, "Actually, it’s not too bad. Tuan Zi is relatively easy to look after..."

Xie Xiao, seeing the smile in her eyes when she mentioned their son, playfully said, "You didn’t even ask about me or show concern for me."

Luo Yanran leaned closer and kissed him, "Because I know my husband can do anything."

That one sentence was enough to soothe Xie Xiao, and he felt too embarrassed to continue on the topic.

He sighed, took the water by his side and let Luo Yanran drink a few sips before slowly speaking, "Do you miss Tuan Zi?"

"Yeah, who doesn’t? My heart is always on him," Luo Yanran’s voice lowered as she spoke, "And going back makes me feel less confident, as if... I can’t do well. Meiya and the others are progressing, but it feels like only I am stuck in place, which really is awful."

Luo Yanran had always been confident; the concept of timidity had never been part of her life.

The only time had probably been when she had a secret crush on Xie Xiao.

Now, her tone was fraught with irritation and anxiety.

But there was no withdrawal, which relieved Xie Xiao.

He kissed Luo Yanran gently, "But it’s only your first day back. During this time, you’ve been reading books and keeping up with the progress of the law firm, right? You haven’t been left behind. You are progressing too; it’s just that previously, most of your focus was on the child..."

Luo Yanran listened quietly to Xie Xiao’s words, and after a long while finally said, "Are you really afraid that I would say I won’t work anymore and stay home to care for the child?"

As a couple, they often shared an understanding beyond what ordinary people could comprehend.

Xie Xiao nodded at her words. "I am afraid. I’m scared that the child will tie you down, which is one of the reasons I was hesitant to have children too early."

Xie Xiao understood that even though everyone talks about equality in the workplace, fundamentally, it isn’t really equal for women.

Even someone as excellent as Luo Yanran, upon returning to work after having a baby, felt unconfident.

Not to mention ordinary women.

Yet Luo Yanran laughed, she reached out to cover Xie Xiao’s face, her eyes sparkling, "What are you thinking about? I was just speaking casually, I won’t stop my stride."

Her voice was soft, "Even for Tuan Zi, I won’t stop walking beside you."

Luo Yanran’s voice was very gentle and soft, "In my heart, you have always been the most important."

That moment, the jealousy Xie Xiao felt because of the child instantly vanished.

It seemed weird to be jealous of one’s own child.

But Xie Xiao found that he couldn’t control this emotion.

Their relationship had always been strong, Luo Yanran, no matter when or where.

Her gaze and attention would always first fall on him.

But ever since the child came along, he felt that she cared more for the child.

Xie Xiao knew this was also his child, but still, he felt a bit of a gap.

However, hearing Luo Yanran’s words at that moment, that gap seemed to disappear instantly.

Luo Yanran, seeing the smile forming on his lips, couldn’t help but laugh at him, "Are you still Xie the CEO? How can you be so silly?"

Her tone was serious, "I love Tuan Zi, and my gaze is always on him now because he’s still small, on the premise that he is our child."

"You will always be the first in my heart, no one can ever change that."

Xie Xiao lowered his head and kissed her lips, "Mhm, me too, I will always love you."

Even now with Tuan Zi, my gaze will always first fall on you.

It’s not that I don’t love our child, but that I can’t help myself.

You have always been where my heart lies.

In the following days, Luo Yanran became somewhat busy, but even then, she always left work on time to come home and take care of the child.

Tuan Zi went to the company with Xie Xiao once and didn’t fuss to follow him the next day.

Even though the child inevitably cried when his parents left.

But Mrs. Huang could quickly soothe him.

Then Xie Xiao would come back at noon, and in the evening, he would pick up Luo Yanran to come home together.

Although it was tiring, there was no choice, he really couldn’t stop worrying about his son.

In just one week, the three of them lost weight.

Luo Yanran was because of her work, Xie Xiao because he had to concentrate on both work and the child.

This pained Luo Yanran’s heart, of course, the four elders felt even more distressed.

However, their main object of concern was the little friend, Tuan Zi.

During video calls, they would endlessly coo over and soothe the little one.

Luo’s mother even bluntly stated, suggesting that once she was less busy, she could take care of the child herself.

Luo Yanran instantly declined, "Let it be, Mom, you’re too busy."

At that moment, Luo Ming happened to be with Luo’s mother.

He quietly comforted his wife, saying that the child should grow up beside his parents.

This brought up a sore spot for Luo’s mother, and she was upset for a good while.

Luo Yanran had to quietly console her.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Yanran collapsed in Xie Xiao’s arms, murmuring softly, "Raising a child is really hard."

Tuan Zi was lying in her arms, smiling at her.

Xie Xiao looked at mother and child, his eyes filled with a joyful smile, "But it’s very blissful."
