Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Turning around, Shen Nian saw a small hand tugging at the corner of her clothes.

An adorable little boy was holding the hem of her clothes, a woeful expression on his face.

”What’s wrong, little one?”

Shen Nian crouched down to look at the little boy before her, who seemed to be about seven or eight years old. As she took a closer look, she realized he was quite handsome. His clothes were exquisite, too, suggesting he came from a well-to-do family.

But how could a seven- or eight-year-old boy be all by himself in a bustling place like a supermarket? What would happen if he got lost?

The little boy just stared at Shen Nian without saying a word.

”Are you here with your mommy? Did you get separated and can’t find her now?”

The little boy looked at Shen Nian, shook his head, and then nodded.

’What does that mean? And he’s not talking... Is it because he doesn’t want to, or because he can’t?’

”Hey, how about I take you to the police? An officer can help you get home, okay?”

Shen Nian remembered that someone was waiting for her outside! Moreover, she had bought so many things and needed to get them back soon.

Besides, she wasn’t familiar with B City. If the boy really had gotten separated from his parents, handing him over to the police was the most appropriate course of action.

However, when he heard Shen Nian wanted to take him to the police, the little boy immediately shook his head, tugging on the corner of her clothes to keep her from leaving.

”No! You stay with me.”

Shen Nian let out a sigh of relief. ’So he can talk! That makes things much easier!’ He wasn’t just handsome, either; his voice was lovely. It was soft and sweet—utterly adorable.

Moreover, as she looked at the little boy, Shen Nian felt an inexplicable fondness for him.

’Could it be that I just really like children? If that’s the case, then when Lu Cheng and I have a child...’

’No, no, no, where is my mind wandering?! What’s all this about having children? We’re nowhere near that point yet!’

Shen Nian patted her blushing cheeks, quickly banishing the strange thoughts from her mind.

”Miss...”

Seeing that Shen Nian remained silent, the little boy’s own expression fell. He started to worry, and his grip on her clothes tightened.

”What’s your name, little one?”

”Fanfan. My name is Fanfan.”

”Fanfan, I have things to do, so I can’t stay with you the whole time. How about this: I’ll take you to the supermarket’s service desk and help you find your family, okay? Did you get separated from them here in the supermarket?”

When Fanfan heard that Shen Nian had things to do, his first instinct was to shake his head, but after looking at her, he finally nodded.

”Okay, let’s go then.”

Shen Nian took Fanfan’s small hand, found a supermarket employee to watch her pile of groceries, and then led Fanfan to the main service desk.

Fortunately, customer service at the supermarkets in B City was already quite good. After Shen Nian explained the situation to the staff at the service desk, they made an announcement for a lost child over the PA system.

”Fanfan, your family will come looking for you in a little while when they hear the announcement. Don’t you worry!”

”Mhm. Fanfan isn’t worried.”

The little boy, Fanfan, kept his eyes on Shen Nian. It seemed that as long as she was by his side, he wasn’t afraid.

”Fanfan, why do you keep staring at me?”

”Because you look like my sister.”

Shen Nian had originally thought the boy would say something like, ”Because you’re pretty,” but she never expected him to say that.

”Is it because I look a lot like your sister?”
