Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Only One Son Left

As soon as Lin’s mother finished speaking, she might have realized that something was inappropriate in her words. She coughed deliberately to cover her unease, then softened her tone, "Jingrou, find some time to persuade him, I only have this one son!"

In those last words, Lin’s mother was almost pleading, her tone carrying a faint hint of sadness.

At some point, the call was disconnected.

Shen Jingrou leaned against the wall with one hand, standing there for a long time, her deep eyes gradually losing focus, as if her soul was being pulled away...

When her mother-in-law said the words "I only have this one son," it wasn’t just her heart that was hurt.

It was also hers!

And Xiaoling!

Shen Jingrou sniffed, swallowing the bitterness in her heart.

She had barely emerged from that painful time, and she couldn’t go back to those dark days. She had to be strong; Xiaoling needed her!

Adjusting her mood, Shen Jingrou walked with heavy steps. Before entering the room, she put on a faint smile and stepped into the box.

Having just entered, she heard the little one say cutely, "You can come work at the dessert shop!"

Shen Jingrou immediately chimed in, "An Yin, are you looking for a job?"

After speaking, Shen Jingrou sat across from An Yin.

"Yes." An Yin nodded shyly.

Just after finishing her cake, An Yin sat alone feeling quite bored. She was browsing job websites on her phone, so absorbed that she didn’t notice when the little one came beside her, until the child kept asking questions around her.

"Actually, you could consider Xiaoling’s suggestion." Shen Jingrou looked at her seriously.

"Huh?" An Yin looked up, incredulously meeting her gaze.

"I own the shop, and I’m looking to hire staff at the moment. If you’re interested, feel free to contact me," Shen Jingrou revealed her identity, not initially intending to hide it.

So Shen Jingrou is the owner of this dessert shop!

No wonder the little one previously said these desserts were made by her mom... Who else would have the authority to go into the kitchen?

"Auntie, you should work here, then I could see you all the time," the little one tugged at An Yin’s hand, shaking it playfully.

"Auntie..."

"Auntie..."

The little one seemed clingy, always full of endless energy, chattering away.

An Yin was amused by her, but hesitated, "I usually have classes, I’m only free on weekends."

"Sure," Shen Jingrou spoke without much thought.

"Auntie, my mom says it’s okay, yay..."

The little one excitedly ran to Shen Jingrou’s feet, wrapped her arms around her neck, kissed her on the cheek, "Mommy, I’m so happy, I must tell uncle this good news."

Uncle!

When Shen Jingrou heard her daughter say "uncle," she froze for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.

Before she could speak, the little one raised her hand, lifting the sleeve at her wrist to reveal a smartwatch.

The next second, the little one skillfully dialed a number.

In less than three seconds, the call was answered.

"Uncle..."

The little one was bouncing away, making the call as she ran off.

Shen Jingrou turned her gaze from her daughter back to An Yin, explaining, "Xiaoling has a very close relationship with her uncle. She reports even the smallest things to him!" She said this with an expression of helplessness.

Who could blame the little one’s uncle for spoiling her to the sky! This was also why the little one became increasingly spoiled.

Whenever the little one made a mistake, she would seek her uncle’s backing, and unfortunately, Shen Jingrou had no way to handle this little brother-in-law.

Thinking of her brother-in-law, Shen Jingrou recalled her mother-in-law’s instructions over the phone, and a faint headache began!

"Xiaoling is really lovable," An Yin said sincerely, not noticing that the other had drifted into thought.

Shen Jingrou’s train of thought was interrupted, she then regained her senses, and with a face full of distress, said, "Please don’t tell her that, her tail would curl up to the sky."

An Yin couldn’t help but laugh.

After that, the two chatted idly for a while longer.

Before leaving, An Yin realized how quickly time had passed!

Outside the entrance of "Sweet Affection," Shen Jingrou spoke suddenly, "Wait a moment, I’ll go get something."

"Okay." An Yin nodded.

In a blink, Shen Jingrou turned and headed inside.

An Yin and the little one leaned against the wall, standing.

"Auntie, will you miss me when you’re back at school?" The little one looked up, gazing at her with a face full of reluctance.

"Of course." An Yin answered without hesitation.

"I’ve already told uncle that I met a very pretty aunty. Uncle said to celebrate having a new friend, he would treat us to McDonald’s next time," the little one said seriously.

Actually, it was McDonald’s that she insisted on.

She thought, since McDonald’s chicken legs and wings were so delicious, aunty would surely love them.

"This..." An Yin suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Her introverted nature made her anxious when meeting strangers, and if it was a man...

Meeting the little one’s innocent eyes, An Yin couldn’t say anything in refusal, so she just replied, "No need to trouble your uncle, aunty will treat you next time!"

"My uncle is very rich, you don’t have to save for him!"

An Yin, "..." She was taken aback.

"Xiaoling, what nonsense are you saying now?" Shen Jingrou, carrying a bag, spoke to her daughter.

Shen Jingrou had heard the little one’s boastful words earlier.

"I didn’t say that." Xiaoling hurriedly covered her little mouth with both hands, muttering ambiguously, "Auntie, see you next time!" After speaking, she dashed back inside, disappearing quickly.

Oh no!

If mom found out that uncle was taking her to McDonald’s, she would definitely be angry!

Who told mom to always say it was junk food! Xiaoling thought as she ran!

Watching her little one act so guilty, Shen Jingrou knew she was probably up to some trick, but she didn’t dwell on it.

The next second, Shen Jingrou handed the bag she was holding to An Yin.

"I made some cupcakes for you to take to the dorm and share with everyone!"

"How can I just take it..." An Yin waved her hand, showing resistance.

She had just eaten several pieces of cake in the shop earlier.

Actually, when leaving before, An Yin had deliberately glanced at the prices of those desserts and was stunned.

An Yin didn’t expect such small desserts to be so expensive!

"If you see me as a sister, then accept it!" Left with no choice, Shen Jingrou resorted to moral persuasion.

"There’s no one like you," An Yin pouted discontentedly.

Shen Jingrou, "Haha, as if you’d refuse me a few cupcakes."

Shen Jingrou was an elegant woman, with light makeup that revealed a slight blush, her demeanor graceful and poised, her gaze gentle, exuding an air of elegance and refinement!

An Yin looked away, meeting her sincere gaze, and finally accepted the bag handed over, "Thank you, Jingrou sister!"
