Chapter 103

103. Pretending to Be Boyfriends

“…… Eh!”

Su Zeheng, looking timid like an adopted child, glanced at Wen Han as he was led by Little Yuan step by step into the living room and sat down.

“Uncle Mingcheng, have some water!”

Little Yuan held the cup in her hands, taking tiny steps while displaying a childlike smile.

Su Zeheng smiled and nodded, placing the cup down. “Just call me Uncle. Has Little Yuan grown taller recently?”

“Yes!” Little Yuan immediately nodded, “Teacher also said I’ve grown taller!!!”

With that, she started showing off her height. Su Zeheng actually played along with this four-year-old child happily.

Wen Han coldly glanced at the two before helplessly checking the electric rice cooker in her hand.

Seeing her continue to research, Su Zeheng came back to his senses. “Why don’t you try boiling some water first to see if it works.”

“… Okay.”

Wen Han walked barefoot back to the kitchen, returned after setting everything up, and went back to the living room.

“Uncle Su, are you and my mom good friends?”

As soon as she entered the living room, Little Yuan’s voice reached her ears.

Wen Han raised her eyes and looked at Su Zeheng.

“Well… of course!” Su Zeheng smiled. “I’m good friends with your mom!”

“Oh~!!” Little Yuan realized, “Uncle Mingcheng once told me this is called… boyfriend and girlfriend?”

“Um…” Su Zeheng coughed awkwardly.

Glancing sideways, he suddenly noticed Wen Han standing beside him.

He panicked for a moment, “Mingcheng… he’s just making things up! Good friends and boyfriend-girlfriend relationships are different.”

“What does boyfriend-girlfriend mean then?”

“It means… um…”

Facing such a naive child, Su Zeheng hesitated.

Wen Han smiled generously, “Little Yuan, boyfriend and girlfriend means dating.”

“What does dating mean?”

“Dating eventually leads to marriage, becoming mom and dad.”

“Oh~!!” Little Yuan understood, “Uncle Su, do you want to marry my mom?”

“!!!” Su Zeheng froze, too shocked to move or speak.

Wen Han smiled coldly and slowly sat down, “Little Yuan, what time is it now?”

“Oh! I should go to sleep!” Little Yuan nodded immediately and ran back to her bedroom, “Mom, Teacher said we should be polite to guests! Tonight I’ll sleep by myself, you can sleep with Uncle Su!”

Slam!

The door was pushed open, and the house fell silent.

Wen Han crossed her legs and smiled slightly, “Uncle, do you want to?”

“… Children say the darndest things.” Su Zeheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, “By the way, how’s the electric rice cooker?”

Wen Han glanced at the kitchen and suddenly showed an emotional expression, “Uncle, did you come today specifically to bring me the electric rice cooker?”

“Yes.”

Wen Han lowered her eyes, her pupils trembling slightly as if moved.

“… Why are you being so nice to me?” She finally spoke after a long silence.

Su Zeheng was taken aback, “I’ve said it before, I want to be friends with you. I believe… you will get better.”

“But right now… I’m a witch.”

Did you hear my insincerity?

She laughed bitterly and shook her head, “I don’t have the qualifications… or the ability. Sometimes I can’t even control myself, do you understand?”

“… I’ll help you.”

Wen Han suddenly looked up, “Uncle, you said it yourself! I really need your help with something!”

“… What?” Su Zeheng frowned in confusion, “As long as it’s not something bad.”

“No.” Wen Han shook her head, picked up her phone, “My mom is going to force me to go on more blind dates, to find a boyfriend… you know I don’t have one.”

Su Zeheng hesitantly looked at her, hesitating for a moment before closing his mouth.

Wen Han continued, “I want to ask you for a favor, to pretend to be my boyfriend.”

Just like Qin Long’s methods of flirting.

Emotions are a very vague thing, often arising suddenly in an instant.

Fake couples may be fake, but they create a couple-like atmosphere.

When touched by that atmosphere… it’s very likely to fall in love.

She couldn’t wait to see this pure-hearted righteous good man suffer from emotional setbacks, and ultimately… hahaha! It would definitely be fun!

Wen Han suppressed her laughter, lifting her eyes pitifully, “Can you, Uncle~~~~”

She tugged on Su Zeheng’s arm, causing him to grit his teeth and shudder.

“I… this doesn’t seem appropriate?” He scratched his head, “Helping me deceive Aunt… it’s not a good thing.”

“This is a white lie,” Wen Han looked toward the bedroom, “Ever since Little Yuan grew up, my mom has been nagging me every day. You have no idea how annoying it is!”

“But…” Su Zeheng hesitated, “This is really not good!”

“I’m sorry… I truly am sorry, I overstepped.”

Her fingers suddenly loosened, Wen Han curled up and gave a desolate smile.

“A woman like me shouldn’t disturb you, after all, it affects your reputation. From the start, I shouldn’t have…”

“That’s not what I meant!!!!” Su Zeheng frowned, “You’re not a bad woman, you’re just… not completely good.”

“… Pfft!”

Finally, a smile spread across her lips, Wen Han tilted her head.

“Uncle, so you agree?”

“This…” Su Zeheng’s face kept changing, “I really think it’s not a good idea.”

“I’m sorry, from the beginning, I shouldn’t have troubled you. If I hadn’t troubled you, you wouldn’t have…”

“Okay okay!” Seeing Wen Han’s miserable face, Su Zeheng finally nodded helplessly, “Fine… I’ll agree.”

“Susu, you’re so nice~”

“… What did you call me?!” Su Zeheng squinted, “Call me by my original name, this way sounds strange, I… I’m not used to it.”

“Couples call each other that way,” Wen Han quickly got into character, “Then… Uncle! When do we want to have a kid?”

“… Wen Han.”

Su Zeheng found it hard to speak, finally sighing deeply.

“I know you were joking with me.”

“So you knew?” Wen Han instantly became cold, “You’re quite self-aware! But… it’ll be troublesome for you with my mom.”

“Ah…” This is really true?

Su Zeheng rubbed his earlobe in distress, “What should I do?”

“Do what a boyfriend should do.”

Wen Han smiled, pointing at him.

“Make my mom believe I already have a great boyfriend, so she won’t worry about this anymore.”

Understanding her mother’s well-intentioned efforts, Wen Han knew.

But she also knew she couldn’t really find a boyfriend, let alone get married and have children.

She hoped her mother could fulfill a wish, and also hoped her mother wouldn’t keep talking about this, because it’s really annoying!

So when she saw Su Zeheng playing with Little Yuan, an idea that could kill two birds with one stone popped into her mind.
