"Lin En, donât be scared, uncle is just joking with you." Sheng Ning gently coaxed, "Itâs so late and youâre still watching over your little sister and brother, itâs really tough for you. Youâre such a good and sensible child. Youâre definitely the good son-in-law Auntie chose. Auntie will make you something delicious tomorrow."
"Itâs not hard." Lin En shyly lowered his head, feeling embarrassed by Sheng Ningâs praise.
"Let me take you to your room to sleep!"
"No way." The little guy quickly shook his head, "Thereâs someone in my room."
"Whoâs in your room?" Sheng Ning immediately asked with vigilance.
After going through so many things and setbacks, her sense of alertness was no longer what it used to be. No matter the situation, she would instinctively stay cautious.
"Itâs Auntie Demira, she came back to interview for a regular employee position. I saw she had nowhere to stay, so I let her stay temporarily."
"Oh!" Sheng Ning finally relaxed.
After Demira came last time, she specifically asked Daives about her and also had Gu Yunbo investigate. In domestic terms, sheâs considered well-known and trustworthy, so she could stay temporarily.
However, one should still maintain the necessary vigilance towards strangers.
"Lin En, in the future, if you meet strangers, never bring them home. What if you encounter a bad person? What if a bad person wants to harm you?"
"But you are one that I brought home!" Lin En looked at her confused.
Sheng Ning suddenly found herself at a loss for words. Yes! Back then, she was a stranger to Lin En. Yet, he still saved her; if not for his kindness, she would have died.
It shows that sometimes you canât judge people harshly all at once.
"How about this? In the future, you need to carefully discern strangers."
"But I canât, I just feel theyâre not bad people."
"Uncle can, let him teach you tomorrow." Sheng Ning entrusted this important task to Xu Qigang.
The man watching his children absently turned his head and looked up and down at the little guy. Just when Lin En was nervous about being rejected, he nodded seriously.
"Yes! You need to train well, otherwise how will you protect your little sister in the future?"
"Oh yeah!" Lin En jumped up happily, but when he thought of his little sister and brother sleeping, he hurriedly covered his mouth.
"Auntie, can I sleep with you tonight?"
"Okay!"
When there was no place to sleep before, the two often squeezed onto one bed.
Sheng Ning gladly agreed, but someone was unwilling.
"Youâll sleep on the couch." Xu Qigang moved swiftly, effortlessly turning a couch into a small bed, making it look very cozy with blankets. Little Lin En lay on it, and it wasnât bad.
"Honestly, wanting to sleep with my daughter when grown up, and now wanting to sleep with my wife when young, your courage is not small, and your appetite is too big." Always trying to oppose him, trying to take someone away.
This little brat is indeed his destined enemy, not easy to deal with!
"Xu Qigang, what nonsense are you talking?" Sheng Ning angrily punched him, but to Xu Qigang, it was merely like being tickled.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"Uh... seems like you didnât." It somehow made a lot of sense, but why did it sound so awkward?
Xu Qigang carried Lin En to the small bed, tucked him in, and insisted he close his eyes.
The little guy was indeed tired, and soon, steady breathing could be heard after the lights were turned off.
