For some reason, Lian Jing felt that this boy was wary of him. He walked over with a stern look, his tall figure towering over the boy's little body. "Why aren't you sleeping?"

Shen Nian discerned the truth. "You want to woo my mother."

Lian Jing paused for a moment. He did not expect a six-year-old child to know about such things. Then, he stroked the boy's hair helplessly. "If your mother and I love each other, it will only benefit you, right?"
