Chapter 7 Share Half of Your Bed with Me

"Don't mention it."

Jiang Sese waved her hand, paying it no heed. She then watched the father and son leave her apartment.

Her home became empty in the blink of an eye. For a while, she couldn't quite snap out of it. She soon patted her head and wondered what was wrong with her.

He was just a child that she had known for less than a day. Why was she so reluctant to part with him?

It had to be because Xiaobao was so adorable.

...

The night came and stayed. A gorgeous Maybach left behind a trail of light as it sped down the road.

The mood inside was very still.

A sulking Xiaobao turned his head away, refusing to even look at his father.

Jin Fengchen pinched the space between his forehead. His head was hurting. He had no plans of trying to placate his son either.

His family had spoiled Xiaobao rotten, resulting in him developing this sort of temper. It was about time that someone straightened him out.

The car stopped in front of the entrance to their house.

The minute the door opened, the little guy slipped out of the car and ran inside.

He didn't even respond to the servants' and housekeeper's greetings as he ran straight into his room and shut the door.

Before long, the loud sound of things crashing to the floor erupted.

There were even sounds of glass shattering.

The housekeeper was outside the door, listening with a frightened heart. She immediately ran off to find Jin Fengchen. "Young Master, what is going on with Little Master? He's throwing a tantrum inside his room. I hope he won't accidentally injure himself."

Jin Fengchen's eyes darkened. "Ignore him."

But how could the housekeeper do so?

The Little Master was the apple of the Master's and Madam's eyes. There would surely be trouble if he was injured.

The house would surely be swept into an uproar if that happened. And the one suffering the brunt of it all would still be the Young Master!

"Master, you should take a look. Little Master is still young; it's normal for him to throw a tantrum. I'm sure he will listen to you if you placate him well."

Jin Fengchen pinched his forehead. He had no choice but to knock on his son's door. "Jin Beichen, how long are you going to keep this up?"

The boy inside the room ignored him. The sound of things crashing and shattering continued, only to be followed by a soft cry.

Both the housekeeper's and Jin Fengchen's hearts tightened.

Jin Fengchen raised his foot and kicked the door open in one quick, efficient move.

The little guy had tumbled to the ground with a cut on his finger. The wound was still bleeding.

The housekeeper turned pale from fright. She immediately yelled for the servants. "Hurry! Get the first-aid kit!"

Jin Fengchen stepped over the debris on the floor in about three strides and carried him up. Both anger and helplessness were reflected in his eyes. "Happy now?"

Xiaobao raised his head. "I want to meet Auntie Sese."

Jin Fengchen said, "No, it's too late now."

Xiaobao began to struggle against his father's hold on him. "Then I'm not going to bandage my cut. Let go of me! I hate Daddy the most."

Jin Fengchen's headache worsened. He continued to temper his anger and said, "Why do you like her? You have known her for less than a day!"

"I just like her. She feels like Mommy…"

The rims of Xiaobao's eyes were red as he explained in a pitiful tone.

Jin Fengchen's expression turned still. All of his anger seemed to have dissipated.

He thought that unlike other children, Xiaobao wouldn't want to look for his mother.

Madam Jin had sought out quite a few young ladies from influential and affluent families for him in the past, wanting to give Xiaobao a proper family, but Xiaobao was never interested in any of them.

Yet, now he thought that a woman who he had known for less than 24 hours felt like his mommy.

Jin Fengchen's emotions were very complex.

He hadn't even had the chance to get a proper understanding of that woman.

"Bandage the cut first. We can talk about the rest later."

"We're going to Aunt Sese's place after bandaging," Xiaobao insisted.

"It's very late now." Jin Fengchen tried to persuade him.

Xiaobao began to cry, tears streaming down his face. "I don't want Daddy anymore. Go away."

The housekeeper was worried sick. She immediately said, "Young Master, please let him do what he wants. If we don't bandage the cut now, his blood will dry up."

Her words were exaggerated; it was, after all, just a cut.

Jin Fengchen clenched his teeth and was undecided for a long while. In the end, he had no choice but to give in. "Don't cry anymore. After we get you bandaged, I'll take you there."

Xiaobao stopped crying as soon as he heard what his father said, though his little shoulders were still heaving up and down.

Once he got his wound bandaged, Jin Fengchen carried Xiaobao to the car and left the house without another word.

...

Meanwhile, Jiang Sese had just finished her shower.

The doorbell once again rang.

Confused, she went to open the door and saw a man and a child standing outside.

Jiang Sese: "..."

Jin Fengchen entered the apartment, carrying Xiaobao with him. He got straight to the point. "Miss Jiang, if it's no trouble, we might have to disturb you for the night. Xiaobao insists on seeing you."

Jiang Sese was overjoyed. She immediately reached for Xiaobao and waved her hand. "It's no trouble at all."

Jin Fengshen smiled. "That's good to hear," he said, and then settled down on the sofa by himself.

Jiang Sese looked at him, stupefied.

"Is he… not planning to leave?

"Isn't Xiaobao the only one staying here with me?"

"Mr. Jin, you…"

"Hmm?" Jin Fengchen wore a matter-of-fact expression. "Since you don't have a spare room, I'll just sleep on the sofa."

Jiang Sese was dumbstruck.

"What does he mean, sleeping on the sofa?

"Is he planning on spending the night here?"

Jin Fengchen could clearly see the change in her expression.

She didn't seem all that happy to have him here.

It must be known that countless women in Jin City were desperate to climb into his bed and claw their way into the Jin family.

It was his first time getting such a reaction.

It was all rather interesting to him.

Jin Fengchen didn't expose her thoughts. He looked at her with great interest and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"Uh, no problem. Hehe… It's just that my sofa is a little small. I'm sure you'll feel terribly uncomfortable, so… You can go home first and leave Xiaobao to me. You can pick him up again tomorrow."

"He has no reason to stay here!"

She was, after all, an unmarried woman. If someone found out that she had spent the night with an unknown man, she could forget about ever getting married.

Jin Fengchen chuckled. "I won't say it's uncomfortable, but I'll be quite happy if you can share half of your bed with me."
