I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

Xiao Ze took the knife, hesitated for a moment, then carefully cut the cake and gave each person a piece.

There was so much fruit in the cake that some of it fell out.

Xiao Ye held the cake that he got, his eyes shining, looking very excited.

It was his first time eating something called cake, and it looked really delicious.

I swallowed unconsciously, then picked up a piece of cake with chopsticks and put it into my mouth. The thick cake base and the dense cream were so delicious that it was hard to describe.

Xiao Ye opened his eyes wide, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak. It took him a while to react.

"This is so delicious! Mom is really amazing. She can actually make something so delicious."

Seeing Xiao Ye's big reaction, Xiao Ze and Xiao Wan were also curious about the taste of the cake. They took a bite each and showed the same expression as Xiao Ye on their faces. They all said that this cake was the most delicious thing they had ever eaten.

Seeing that the children all liked the cake, Wen Shutang was filled with pride. The food she made by herself was praised as delicious by the people she loved, which was the best evaluation of her.

Now that he has conquered the stomachs of these three children, it is something that Wen Shutang should be very proud of.

Xiao Yizhuo sat next to Xiao Ze and watched this heartwarming scene, and a warm feeling flowed through his heart.

Turning his head slightly to look at Wen Shutang with a smile on his face, Xiao Yizhuo felt his heart beating faster and faster, as if because of this woman, his heart was becoming more and more lively.

Xiao Yizhuo spent the first half of his life on the battlefield. He was in a state of mental tension almost every moment, with only subordinates and brothers around him. This was the first time he experienced the feeling of having a wife.

This delicate and sweet feeling is really addictive.

Xiao Yizhuo knew very clearly that he was becoming more and more dependent on Wen Shutang. Obviously, a person like him should not have weaknesses, but he could not help but get closer to Wen Nuan, closer to Wen Shutang.

Wen Shutang noticed that Xiao Yizhuo had been looking at her, so she turned her head and blinked at him, asking him if there was anything wrong.

Xiao Yizhuo then came to his senses and shook his head gently.

After getting the response, Wen Shutang didn't think any more about it: "As long as you like it, I'll make cakes for you on your birthdays in the future, okay?"

"Good!" the three children said in unison, obviously they liked the cake very much.

Wen Shutang laughed when he heard this. These three children were really cute.

She stretched out her finger, dipped a little cream and dotted it on the center of Xiao Ze's brow, and said softly: "Congratulations to our Ah Ze for growing another year older. He will be a big boy in the future."

Xiao Ze felt the slightly cool cream on his forehead and was stunned. He stared blankly at his stepmother in front of him, with an inexplicable emotion surging in his heart.

Feeling this emotion, Xiao Ze felt very complicated. He knew what this inexplicable emotion was.

This is the desire for maternal love in his heart.

Ever since his mother passed away, Xiao Ze no longer had any expectations for this love, especially when Wen Shutang became his stepmother, he directly abandoned this expectation.

Looking at Wen Shutang's appearance, Xiao Ze's heart, which had been sealed, seemed to have a feeling of yearning again.

He suppressed the sourness in his throat and endured the astringency at the tip of his nose, and a sincere smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Thank you, mother."

Hearing his call, Wen Shutang was inexplicably stunned.

Although Xiao Ze would call her mother on weekdays, she always felt that Xiao Ze's voice today was different.

It felt like Xiao Ze had truly accepted her today.

Thinking of the reason why Xiao Ze was now mature beyond his years, Wen Shutang couldn't help but soften his heart. He reached out and touched his cheek, responding softly with a gentle expression.

"Ah."

Perhaps it was today that Wen Shutang truly understood the feelings of being a mother.

She looked at Xiao Ze with eyes full of tenderness, and Xiao Ze caught all the emotions in her eyes. Even though he was usually calm and composed, he couldn't help but tremble at this moment.

Not wanting to lose his composure in front of his younger siblings, Xiao Ze tried his best to suppress the urge to cry.

Noticing Xiao Ze's reaction, Wen Shutang knew what he was thinking. He turned his head to look at Xiao Ye and Xiao Wan, and found that the two children were staring at him without blinking.

She changed the subject at the right time: "By the way, I also prepared a gift for Aze, let your father bring it over."

Wen Shutang turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yizhuo, signaling him. Xiao Yizhuo, who was suddenly called, came to his senses, nodded, stood up, went back to the room, took out the exquisite wooden box and walked out.

Handing the wooden box to Xiao Ze, Xiao Yizhuo smiled and explained, "This is a gift your mother prepared several days in advance."

Xiao Ze took the wooden box, opened it and saw the exquisite brush inside and two ink sticks next to it.

"This is a purple-hair brush. I specifically asked the shopkeeper about it. This kind of brush is best for practicing calligraphy. If Aze pursues a career in politics in the future, his handwriting must be good. I thought you should be able to use this." After Wen Shutang finished explaining, he turned around and looked at Xiao Ze's expression, wondering whether he liked this gift or not.

Xiao Ze stared blankly for a while, then reached out and carefully touched the pen. The emotions in his heart surged up again, almost bursting out uncontrollably.

Ever since his mother passed away, no one has cared so much about his studies. Although his father is very good to him, he cannot replace his mother's love.

Xiao Ze now feels the long-lost maternal love from Wen Shutang again. How can he remain calm?

He raised his head and looked at Wen Shutang, his eyes full of determination: "Thank you, mother. I like this gift very much. I will use this pen to achieve my career. I will definitely have my own career in the court in the future. I will definitely live up to your kindness."

Hearing Xiao Ze's words, Wen Shutang waved his hands repeatedly: "Aze, don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying that you can only pursue a career in politics. As long as it's not something that harms the world, I agree with whatever Aze does."

"I know what mother means. No matter what, I will study hard, achieve great things in the future, and be filial to my parents!" Xiao Ze said with a firm look in his eyes.

Wen Shutang looked at Xiao Ze's determination and nodded with satisfaction. No matter whether Xiao Ze would enter the court and become a powerful official in the future, it was enough for him to have this idea.

"Okay, as long as it's what Aze wants to do, we will support you, just go for it."

Perhaps even Wen Shutang herself did not notice that under her care, Xiao Ze's state of mind had changed. Unintentionally, this violent and tyrannical official had changed the trajectory of his future destiny.
