After a Failed Blind Date, a Rich Woman Tries to Get Into My Heart - Chapter 79

On a clear morning after the rain, warm sunlight gently brushed the earth through thick clouds.

Shen Lang woke up to the soft mumbling of the landlady, who was nestled in his arms.

Opening his eyes, he saw the beautiful face of the mature woman beside him, her lips curved in a satisfied smile.

Just then, the alarm on the nightstand went off.

Xia Shuyi frowned and lazily snuggled closer to Shen Lang, reluctantly opening her slightly reddened eyes to look at the young man next to her. With a hint of dependence, she asked, “When did you wake up?”

“Just now.”

Shen Lang picked up the phone to turn off the alarm, then snuggled back into the warm covers, holding the landlady’s full and warm body close.

“It’s still early. Let’s rest a bit more.”

Xia Shuyi’s figure was truly perfect, and holding her felt wonderfully fulfilling.

“Ah, you’re still so young.”

Xia Shuyi gently caressed Shen Lang’s face, teasing him with the tone of a caring older sister. “You’re just like my little Mengmeng.”

A soft thud.

The bedroom door was slowly pushed open, and both of them instinctively shivered.

Shen Lang quickly stuck his head out of the covers to look at the door.

It turned out Mengmeng, in her cartoon pajamas, had woken up.

“Mommy, Big Brother.”

The little girl, still groggy, didn’t ask why she was in the next room or why the two of them were together.

She lazily greeted them, then climbed onto the bed, pulled back the covers, and snuggled between them, quickly falling asleep with a soft snore.

They exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

Shen Lang gently rubbed the little girl’s head. “Xia Jie, you know, this really does feel like a family of three.”

“Why, do you want to become a dad?”

Xia Shuyi, brushing her daughter’s messy hair, playfully joked, “Don’t men usually dislike raising someone else’s child?”

“That depends on who it is,” Shen Lang said, gently caressing Xia Shuyi’s cheek in a semi-joking manner. “Xia Jie, you’re still so beautiful. I get a cute daughter too. Isn’t that a good deal?”

These answers were a bit cheesy, but option one was the most reasonable. Given their current relationship, saying that wasn’t too far-fetched.

Xia Shuyi clearly saw Shen Lang’s words as a joke, and Shen Lang responded in kind. This way, he didn’t disrupt the mood and could still compliment both mother and daughter.

Xia Shuyi was smart and knew Shen Lang was joking. Even if she knew he was just trying to make her happy, she still appreciated it. Sometimes, it wasn’t about whether the words were true, but about making the woman happy.

However, there was a risk with this approach. If Xia Shuyi got serious and asked, “Do you really think that way?” it could be tricky to handle.

Xia Shuyi looked at Shen Lang with a serious expression, as if she was about to ask something important.

Shen Lang couldn’t help but gulp.

Could it be that the landlady wants to get serious? Does she really want me to become a dad?

“You’re such a tease.”

Xia Shuyi eventually gave Shen Lang a knowing look, but her face was still smiling with satisfaction.

This outcome matched what Shen Lang expected.

“When I first met you, I thought you were a sincere, simple college student.”

Xia Shuyi smiled wryly. “I didn’t expect you to be more smooth-talking than any man I’ve met.”

Xia Shuyi had already seen that Shen Lang was not a simple, honest college student. After all, his eloquence was sharper than that of some big bosses she knew, so he was definitely not an ordinary student.

This was quite practical.

Using an analogy from the internet, it was like choosing between a lively, active Siberian Husky and a calm, reliable Golden Retriever. Most people knew the Husky might be trouble, but they still preferred its energy and interaction. Only a few might choose the reliable Golden Retriever.

The same went for the “scumbag” theory.

Everyone knew scumbags were risky and could easily use someone up and then leave. Yet, many women still fell for their sweet talk and got trapped.

Xia Shuyi knew Shen Lang was no saint.

But she willingly stayed with him and enjoyed his flirtatious words.

Even now, Xia Shuyi didn’t understand why Shen Lang had changed so much.

After years in business, Xia Shuyi had turned down many smooth-talking big shots and scheming younger men. She considered herself quite perceptive.

When she first met Shen Lang, she thought he was a shy, honest college student.

Who would have thought she would end up sharing a bed with that same college student—and even be the one pursuing him?

If she was mistaken, it must be because Shen Lang hid it very well.
