Chapter 49: Competition Promotion
Sansa Ran was stunned for a moment when she saw such a serious look in Dan Lu’s eyes, not simply an expression of kindness or a joke, and froze for a moment, not knowing how to reply.
Only after a few seconds did he open his mouth and said to Dan Lu: “Thank you for having such a high opinion of me, but I can’t accept your kindness.”
Dan Lu hurriedly asked, “Why? Is it because you don’t feel anything for me?”
Sansa Ran retorted, “Well… I already have a child.”
Dan Lu’s eyes flashed with despondency. He could not imagine that Sansa Ran looked so young but already had a child. Sansa Ran’s voice came back to him, “I’m really sorry that I let you down.”
“How can I blame you, you are so good, I don’t know who is lucky enough to marry you, if only I could have met you earlier, it’s all fate.” Dan Lu hurriedly returned, with a hint of sadness in his tone.
The atmosphere became a little awkward, Sansa Ran picked up his own wine in front of him and took a sip.
Dan Lu broke the silence by asking, “Is your child a little girl?”
“No, I have two sons.” Sansa Ran mentioned her two sons with a happy smile on her face.
“Two little men, pretty good, follow your genes, should be quite handsome.” Dan Lu said.
Sansa Ran heard him talk like that, praising not only her but also her two sons, and said shyly, “Thank you.”
Dan Lu said again, “Eat up, or the steak will get cold.”
Sansa Ran said, “Yes,” and looked down to eat her steak.
After they finished their lunch, Dan Lu wanted to take Sansa Ran back, but Sansa Ran felt a little embarrassed and declined: “No, it’s not very far, I can just take a taxi myself, you should also have a lot of things to deal with, so I won’t bother you.”
“No, it’s not that far, I’ll just give you a ride.” After Dan Lu’s repeated insistence, finally, Sansa Ran got into Dan Lu’s car and he drove her.
On the way, the two of them exchanged words from time to time, and the awkward atmosphere was gradually eased. “Since God has destined us not to become a couple, it’s not bad for us to become friends, you should not reject me, right?” Dan Lu said.
Sansa Ran saw that Dan Lu did not think that way, also relaxed, gladly agreed: “Of course, very happy to make a friend like you, my honor.”
Dan Lu laughed out loud, “Me too, it’s an honor.”
At that moment, Sansa Ran’s cell phone rang suddenly. She glanced at the screen first and her eyes lit up for a moment, but she didn’t pick up immediately.
“Hello, mom.” Justin’s soft voice came from his ear as soon as he picked up the phone.
“Hello, Justin,” Sansa Ran returned sweetly as she was also happy to receive a call from her son.
“Mom, I have passed this competition and successfully advanced in the review.”
“Really, Justin is amazing, you are the pride of mommy, mommy is so happy.” Sansa Ran said excitedly, as if the person who passed the competition was not Justin, but herself, even happier than she passed the competition.
Justin heard his mom’s excited voice and laughed himself.
It just so happened that the traffic light at the intersection turned from yellow to red, and Dan Lu had just stopped the car when he heard Sansa Ran say, “Really!
He shook his head and smiled, happy for Sansa Ran, but also because the child thought of her as a mother, the smile was a bit bitter.
When he turned his head to look at her and saw Sansa Ran smiling so happily like a child, the corners of his mouth also curved involuntarily.
“How are you doing over there? Are you getting along well with the kids?” Sansa Ran asked again.
“I’m fine here, mom. How are you and Jeffrey?” Justin said in a slightly adult tone.
Sansa Ran was amused by Justin and laughed twice before saying, “Of course we’re fine, you don’t have to worry about us, just take care of yourself.”
“Mom, are you not with Jeffrey?”
“No, mom just had a meeting and then went to lunch with a gentleman.”
“Mom, don’t worry, I’ll be back in a few days after the competition.”
Sansa Ran heard and laughed again, Justin obviously misses me but does not say it, in the end is a child, but also have to pretend like an adult, heart and a little touched.
The two asked each other, the red light also unknowingly turned green, Dan Lu again continued to drive seriously.
“Justin must have a good race, cheer up, mommy loves you, and take care of yourself.” Sansa Ran instructed to.
“Yes, I know mom, I will take care of myself, don’t worry.” Justin also very understanding said.
The two Sansa reluctantly hung up the phone, and then Sansa Ran put the phone back into the bag.
Dan Lu saw Sansa Ran finished the call and asked, “Is that your child?”
“Yes, one of my sons – Justin,” Sansa Ran said back.
“Is it something important to call?” Dan Lu hastily asked. Although he knew Sansa Ran was on the phone with her son, he didn’t eavesdrop on their conversation, but concentrated on driving, so he thought it was something important to take care of.
“No no.” Sansa Ran looked at Dan Lu this hurriedly asked, also hurriedly replied, and then said: “Justin is abroad to participate in the Rubik’s Cube competition, just called to say that he has passed the round and successfully advanced in the final round.”
After Dan Lu heard this, he sighed in his heart, “It’s worthy of your son, the light has already been shown at such a young age. He also praised, “Your son is so young and so good, he will be very talented when he grows up. I have to say that you have done a very successful job in educating your children, and have really done a good job in teaching them.”
“Thank you, you are too kind, Mr. Dan Lu, Justin is young and probably has some talent, so I don’t have to bother too much.” Sansa Ran said modestly.
“Both of your sons should be very good, I hope I can meet them both sometime in the future and talk to them more.” Dan Lu said with a smile.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Sansa Ran also smiled and said back, “I will, and I will definitely let the two boys meet with you when I have the chance in the future.”
