Middle-aged love

Chapter 23 An Innocuous Lie
"Mom, where's Dad?" Guo Zhaocheng asked while looking around,
Shen Juan was taken aback,
"Your dad said to pick you up?"

"Yeah, didn't Dad tell you?"

Shen Juan smiled awkwardly,
"He may have forgotten that your dad has been busy recently," he said, pulling his son forward,

"Mom, where's your car?"

"Mom's car broke down, I came here by taxi today"

Seeing his mother was going to take a taxi, Guo Zhaocheng hurriedly stopped her,

"Mom, wait a minute, call Dad and see if he's here?"

Shen Juan was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said,

"Come on son"

"Mom, give me your phone, my phone is out of battery",
Shen Juan hesitated,

"Either don't call him, he must be busy and forgot",
Seeing his mother hesitate, Guo Zhaocheng thought that his mother didn't want to contact his father, so he quickly grabbed his mother's mobile phone,

"I asked Dad what's going on?"

The mobile phone was taken away by his son, Shen Juan didn't want to say anything, he said whatever he wanted, in case his son saw the flaw, he had to tell him sooner or later.

Guo Zhaocheng hit both sides, there were beeping sounds, and he was startled, he was very slippery with his mobile phone, how could he not understand what was going on, his father had blacklisted his mother's mobile phone.

"Mom, Dad's cell phone can't get through",
Shen Juan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let me just say, he must be busy."
Guo Zhaocheng calmly followed his mother to take a taxi.

There were too many people at the gate of the school, and it was difficult to take a taxi. Shen Juan and his son walked slowly along the main road.

"Mom, Dad is here," Guo Zhaocheng said suddenly in surprise. When Shen Juan looked up, he realized that Guo Junhuai's car had stopped in front of them. Guo Junhuai rolled down the window and said with a smile

"Get in the car"

Guo Zhaocheng opened the back seat door,

"Mom, go up quickly",
When Shen Juan got into the car, Guo Zhaocheng also came up and sat beside his mother.

"Dad, why are you so slow, I thought you weren't coming?"

"There was a traffic jam on the road, I called you, and your phone was turned off",
"Oh, the battery is out", Guo Zhaocheng replied casually, he really wanted to say, 'Why don't you call my mother? ', but looking at his mother who kept looking down at her phone, he held back,
Guo Junhuai glanced at Shen Juan and asked,

"what's for dinner?"

Shen Juan thought he was lying to his son, so naturally he didn't answer, Guo Zhaocheng hurriedly said,

"I made an agreement with my mother, let's have hot pot tonight."

,,,

There are a lot of people in the hot pot restaurant, the waiter saw them and greeted them quickly,
"I want a private room," Guo Junhuai said,
The waiter looked at them a little embarrassed,

"Just a few of you? Ours,,,,,"

"There are still a few people who haven't arrived, the eight-person room is fine," Guo Junhuai interrupted the waiter, who didn't say anything more, and took them directly to the private room on the second floor.

As soon as the waiter left, Guo Zhaocheng immediately said,

"Dad, there are only three of us, what will the waiter say when we ask?"

"What's the point? Just say that others won't come. Besides, it doesn't matter how many people you have, as long as the consumption reaches the standard of a private room."

"Dad, this is a lie." Guo Zhaocheng laughed, and Guo Junhuai also laughed.
"Son, sometimes innocuous lies are necessary. I'm usually busy. If I sit in the hall, I have to say hello to acquaintances. If I meet a few people who don't know what I'm interested in, I just sit down and don't leave. We finally got one The family dinner was ruined”

Shen Juan listened to Guo Junhuai's sophistry and did not expose him, she still looked down at the phone, in fact she was bored, had nothing to do and nothing to say,
"Mom, are you waiting for someone's call?"

"No, what's the matter son?"

"It's okay, I see you have been looking at your phone",
Guo Junhuai glanced at Shen Juan and handed her the menu.

"What do you want to eat, and how many?"

Shen Juan hastily declined,
"No need, just look at it."

"Mom, Dad has always been assertive. It's hard for us to have a democracy today. Why don't you seize the opportunity?",
Guo Junhuai's heart moved slightly, he always felt that there was something in his son's words.

Guo Junhuai and his son discussed ordering food together, while Shen Juan was sitting on the sidelines, actually feeling very disturbed, she didn't know what Guo Junhuai meant today?I haven't come to pick up my son for so long, and I came here as soon as I mentioned divorce. Is this trying to get close to my son?But hasn't he already 'basically' promised himself? , Do you want to go back on your word? !
Shen Juan's family of three ate happily, at least on the surface. Cheng Cheng was talking about interesting things that happened at school in the past week.
"Mom, I'm old, you don't have to take care of me all the time, you can eat too"

Shen Juan had a sore nose, yes, his son is getting older, and he can't say that he doesn't need her anymore, Guo Zhaocheng naturally saw the strangeness of his mother,
"Mom, your son is getting older, are you disappointed?"

Shen Juan hurriedly covered up, and smiled unnaturally,

"No, why did my son say that?"

Guo Zhaocheng smiled frankly,
"Mom, you don't need to hide this emotion, it's normal. If you are empty, you can have another one. I don't mind having a younger sister. It's not a younger sister. The next best thing is a younger brother." Guo Zhaocheng said, "My lord." Plenty' looks like,

Shen Juan couldn't help but blushed, she didn't dare to look up at Guo Junhuai, and smiled awkwardly,

"Son, your father is a public official, so he can't have a second child for the time being."

"Mom, this is not a problem, can you work around it? Several of my classmates, their parents are fake divorces, and then have a second child. When they have children, they will remarry."

Shen Juan was even more embarrassed. He didn't expect his son to know so much.

"This method is not bad, you can think about it later." Guo Junhuai smiled and said, Shen Juan didn't understand this man's mind, so he didn't dare to answer easily, so he could only shut up and continue to serve his son.
