"He just doesn't like to talk, right?"
Kang Li smiled with a hint of amusement at the corners of her mouth. "Or maybe it's that you have a world within you, but just don't care to speak!"
"Mom, you're teasing me."
Min Rui blushed, a touch of complaint in his tone. He didn't ask—it was a statement.
"Wrong, Mom is complimenting you."
Kang Li gripped the steering wheel, eyes forward, but the smile in her gaze was unmistakably bright.
"Are you sure you're not lying to me?"
Min Rui stayed skeptical.
"Silly boy, why would Mom lie to you? You really are thoughtful and don't talk much, that's just your nature. Mom saw it even when you were little. Be good, don't feel awkward. When Mom says it's a compliment, it is. Absolutely not teasing."
Kang Li soothed her eldest son.
