Chapter 255: Chapter 255: How to Start Speaking?

"What... What?" Su Lu spoke in a somewhat flustered manner, her eyes uncontrollably flicking toward Cheng Youran beside her.

She wasn’t aware of it herself, but she felt that her gaze might have been... almost panic-stricken.

Because, upon seeing her expression, Zhao Xiaole’s initially joyous smiling face stiffened, a few shades of helpless caution bleeding through, "Mom, are you unhappy... If you’re not happy, I won’t look anymore."

Even though the man who dominated the large canvases should be his father, Zhao Xiaole hadn’t always been so despondent, but what child wouldn’t be curious about their father? Especially a boy.

But if it made his mom unhappy, he would stop looking. He would stop being curious.

For him, Su Xiaolu was the most important.

"It’s okay, Mommy isn’t unhappy." Su Lu mustered a smile, though it was a bit stiff, but it was undeniably tender, as she picked up her son, "Zhao Xiaole can look at whatever he wants."

But Zhao Xiaole had already firmly decided that looking at those paintings would upset Su Xiaolu, so he no longer wanted to look or be curious.

However, the outline of the man in the paintings was already deeply etched in his heart.

After a while, Su Lu made hot oatmeal for Zhao Xiaole to drink. Worn out and sleepy, he was lulled to sleep in her arms, and then, comfortably and soundly, he was put down on the sofa.

Only then did Su Lu stand up.

Cheng Youran’s voice was tinged with apology, kept very low, "Lu, sorry about that, I totally forgot about this."

Cheng Youran sighed softly, "The thing is, I thought those paintings, no matter what, had significant meaning for you, so I didn’t deal with them rashly. Before bringing Xiaole here, I forgot about them. I even took the initiative to show him around; I really am a fool."

"It’s not your fault. Don’t blame yourself." Su Lu offered her a smile.
