56: Chapter 57 Paternity Test (4)
The little guy nced at her old tracksuit, “Okay.”
After dinner, the two of them got ready and headed straight for thergest mall in the city.
Gan Yuan was always willing to spend money on her son, all the money she earned apart from the basic necessities went to him.
Once they arrived at the mall, they went directly to the children’s clothing department, where Gan Yuan quickly picked out three or four sets of clothes for the little guy: a formal suit, a casual outfit, afortable tracksuit, and several matching shoes and scarves.
“Shall we buy two more pairs of shoes?”
The little guy stood still, refusing to move, “No need.”
“Tired?” Gan Yuan took back the credit card from the salesperson, “How about just one pair, okay?”
“No need!” the little guy repeated.
“Alright, alright, no more shopping,” she conceded.
Thinking he was tired of browsing and didn’t want to shop anymore, Gan Yuan did not insist further.
Carrying the paper bags in one hand, she held his hand with the other as they walked towards the elevator.
Noticing the chairs meant for resting nearby, the little guy immediately pulled her in that direction.
“Mommy, wait here for me for a moment.”
“And you?”
“Bathroom.”
“Be careful on your own, it’s no big deal,” she assured him.
“I know.”
The little guy waved at her and turned to run to the right.
“Wrong direction, it’s on the left,” Gan Yuan reminded him from behind.
“Oh!” The little guyughed, turned back, and ran to the left.
Taking advantage he wasn’t being watched, he immediately crouched down, stealthily made his way back, slipped behind her, and snuck onto the esctor, heading up to the third floor.
Gan Yuan sat waiting on the chair for a while, and when the little guy didn’t return, she nced toward the direction of the bathroom and pursed her lips slightly.
“Little rascal, did you fall into the toilet?”
She had taught him to be independent since he was young.
The little guy was already adept at buying breakfast and browsing supermarkets on his own, so Gan Yuan naturally wouldn’t worry about a simple trip to the bathroom.
She looked at her watch and rested her hand on her forehead.
Today Huangfu Jue might be going for a paternity test, and she wasn’t entirely sure she could fool him.
She had deliberately taken Gan Tang out shopping to avoid unexpected revtions and being cornered by that guy.
After waiting a little longer and still not seeing the little guy, Gan Yuan couldn’t help but start to worry.
She got up and walked over to the bathroom area.
After waiting for a while and not seeing Gan Tange out, she stopped a man who had juste out of there to ask.
“A child?
There’s nobody in the bathroom.”
Startled, she immediately disregarded any impropriety and rushed into the men’s bathroom.
Indeed, the bathroom waspletely empty; there was no sign of the little guy.
Feeling her heart suddenly tighten, Gan Yuan turned and dashed out of the bathroom, searching around while pulling out her phone to dial his number.
“You little stinker, if you don’t answer the phone, you’ll see what I’ll do to you…
Gan Tang…
Xiaotang…”
“Mommy!”
She heard the little guy’s voice behind her.
Turning around and seeing him, Gan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
She rushed over and steadied his shoulders.
“Where did you go, making mommy search like that!”
“Went downstairs for a bit.”
“Didn’t you find the bathroom on this floor?” Gan Yuan looked at him with disdain, “Didn’t I remind you?
Whenever you go to a new ce, first check for the emergency exits, and second, make sure to notice where the bathrooms are.”
The little guy smiled faintly, “Got it.
Mommy, shall we go back?”
“Since we’re already out, why not…
how about we have lunch?”
“It’s only 11 o’clock.”
“Then…
oh, right, there seems to be an arcade on the upper floor, shall we go up and y for a while?”
“Boring!”
“How about we do it to keep mommypany?” Gan Yuan yfully bumped his shoulder, “Go-karting, dare you?”
