Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Parent-Child Activity
At the beginning, his heart was indeed very anxious, facing such a situation, he did not know what kind of response he would receive.
But now that both people had agreed, the worry in his heart had completely vanished at this moment.
Seeing his own child so happy, Li Yanling naturally felt very relieved.
In a short period of time, there had been such good development between her and her child, everything was no longer like it was before.
How could this not be considered a good thing for her?
And at this moment, Liu Zheng, seeing the mother and son getting along so well, truly felt very happy, thinking that everything he had done before was worthwhile.
Soon after, he finally let go of Li Yanling.
Then, he turned his head and looked at Liu Zheng with a serious face, expressing his gratitude.
"Uncle Liu, I’m really very thankful to you. There might be some parent-child activities later, and I might need to trouble you again."
But for Liu Zheng, this wasn’t really troublesome at all.
Since he and Li Yanling were friends, agreeing to a request from Xiao Kai wasn’t really a big deal.
"Ah, this kid is really so polite to me. I’m good friends with your mother, and I agreed only because I, too, consider you a friend; you shouldn’t think there’s anything so serious about that."
After hearing these words, Xiao Kai was naturally even more moved.
Truth be told, his memories of his father were not very strong; his father had left when he was very young, so it was hard for him to really feel paternal love.
For some reason, during the time he had spent with Liu Zheng, he had indeed felt a different sensation, feeling that Liu Zheng was very good to his mother and also to him, which made him very happy.
No matter what, he had allowed him and his mother to become better friends, to be able to continue walking this path together, and for him to be able to have fun with him.
Now that the matter was resolved, Liu Zheng wouldn’t stay there forever; he had his clinic to tend to.
So he quickly found an excuse and left in a hurry.
"Alright, you two have a good rest. I need to get back to the clinic now."
After hearing this, the two nodded and watched him leave, then went back into the house.
At that moment, Li Yanling couldn’t help but tentatively ask her son about his opinion of Liu Zheng.
She could indeed feel that the relationship between the two of them was getting better and better, but she didn’t know if things would continue in this way.
She feared that Xiao Kai was just being close to Liu Zheng to please her, and perhaps had another kind of thought in his mind.
Truth be told, she had been quite happy in her interactions with Liu Zheng, at least feeling a joy she had never experienced before.
So she hoped her son could accept Liu Zheng faster and that they could get along even more harmoniously.
So not long after, as they were eating fruit and watching TV together, Li Yanling couldn’t help but speak up.
"Xiao Kai, mommy wants to ask you a question."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Kai also immediately snapped out of his own world and focused on her, curious, and asked.
"What is it, mom? Just say whatever you want to say."
After hearing this, she took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and spoke.
"Actually, I wanted to ask your opinion about Uncle Liu. What do you think of him?"
He thought it would be some major issue, but it turned out to be just such a question.
And at the moment, the child in front of her instantly responded with a smile.
"I think Uncle Liu is really nice. He takes good care of me, and over all this time, he has been so good to both mommy and me. I’m truly grateful to him for letting me see reality clearly and for improving my relationship with mommy so much."
After hearing this, the weight that had been hanging in Li Yanling’s heart finally settled back down.
At first, she was indeed very afraid that her child might not actually feel this way.
She feared that the child was merely being close to her for the sake of appearances.
But now it seems she had worried too much; her son really liked Liu Zheng, and with that, she really had nothing more to worry about.
"That’s wonderful. I was afraid you would always reject a friend of the opposite sex like before," she said.
She might not have been able to say all this to her child before, but now everything had changed.
So she was truly very happy.
When Xiao Kai heard this, his expression gradually turned more serious. He reached out his hand to tightly grab his mother’s hand and said,
"I’m really sorry, mom. I know it hasn’t been easy for you all these years, being alone. If there’s someone to accompany you, I’m very happy too, at least he can share some of the burden."
"In the past, I was too young and immature, never considering your feelings, only caring about my own. And sometimes grandma’s gossipy nature influenced my views about you as well, but now I’ve come to realize, no matter what, I can’t be like before."
After hearing this, Li Yanling’s heart was deeply touched.
The child wasn’t even an adult yet, only in his teens, and he had already become so sensible—it really wasn’t easy.
And all of this was truly thanks to Liu Zheng.
If it hadn’t been for the approach Liu Zheng had come up with, she might not have been able to improve her relationship with her son to such an extent.
"I’m so happy you think this way, but you’re still young. I hope you can pursue your own life and happiness," she said earnestly.
"No matter what, I don’t want to be a burden to you. I want you to be happy."
As she was saying this to Xiao Kai with all seriousness,
she did not want Xiao Kai to give up anything for her sake, she hoped he could speak his true mind.
And Xiao Kai, of course, understood his mother’s good intentions.
