Who Needs a Boyfriend When You Have a Son?

share time: 2026-01-02 06:07:15

Lin Xiaoman, a single mom, lives with her 5-year-old son Xiaohetao, swearing by the phrase “Who needs a boyfriend when you have a son?”—until her new boss Lu Chuan arrives. He effortlessly answers Xiaohetao’s endless bedtime questions, hides the kid’s favorite milk tablets in his briefcase, and even stays up all night when Xiaohetao has a high fever. But when Lu Chuan confesses with a rose, Xiaoman steps back in panic: she fears a new relationship will take away her son’s attention, and more than anything, she can’t afford to lose again—not when it’s her child’s tears on the line. Just then, her ex-husband, missing for three years, shows up to fight for custody. To everyone’s surprise, Xiaohetao tugs Lu Chuan’s衣角 and shouts, “I want this daddy.” It’s only then that Xiaoman realizes: the end of “son being enough” is someone willing to turn “mom’s baby” into “our baby” with her.
