"So what? You can't go anyway."

The child seemed to feel sorry for him, but even people who feel sorry for him have a stern face.

"Alright, alright." He bent down and picked up the sulking little guy. "Be good, Daddy will take you there."

The two similar faces, one big and one small, attract people's attention wherever they go. The most important thing is that the child in the man's arms frowned slightly, and looked serious like a little old man, which was very cute.

Caius went to a nearby supermarket. He promised that he would not go back on his word. A person should not go back on his word, otherwise no one will trust him next time.

He broke down these principles and told them to the little guy, but Li Yao knew everything and didn't want to listen to his big talk. He muttered, "You are not a good person..."

Caius was still thinking about how to educate the child, and these words made him choke.

Is this what he is like in this kid's mind? Not a good person?

"Well... although Dad isn't a good person... no no no, what I mean is that although Dad might do things a little off-kilter, he is a good person."

"……oh."

He didn't believe it.

Caius sighed slightly and thought, "Forget it, forget it. Let's go buy things first. The kids will need someone to help them."

At the last moment, he whispered in the child's ear: "Dad knows you care about me, dear child."

Just this one sentence made Li Yao's ears instantly red, burning and hot.

He didn't say anything for a while before he hummed, "You're just showing off..."

A person wants to carry so many things and still says he wants to carry them around. Isn't that showing off?

"Of course not, you should praise Dad for being such a great boyfriend... Oh no, you should praise Dad for being such a charming man."

Li Yao: "...Aren't you grown up yet?" If possible, he didn't want to know that his father was such a person.

Although he was complaining, he was actually quite satisfied with Caius, especially when he was talking to a group of children.

"Uncle, can we not go home today?"

Zhou Zilong was very brave and shouted out this sentence in a loud voice. After he said this, a group of children echoed him.

They didn't want to go home and wanted to play with their friends, so they wanted to stay at their friend's house, which was the Li family.

Caius's smile grew wider, and he narrowed his eyes at his younger one, "You invited him?"

"It's not me, I didn't." Little Li Yao pretended to be stupid.

There are four people in my family, and three of them don't want too many children at home. They don't want noise, they don't want...

In short, I would not agree.

Li Qiao can't, and neither can he.

"No, your parents will be worried. Besides, you have to go to school tomorrow. Kids, remember? Be good, uncle will give you..."

"Buy some candy!" The children all sang the last three words together.

This has become his signature language for coaxing children, almost a catchphrase.

"Then uncle, can you take us to play together next time?"

"sure."

Caius agreed readily. In fact, there might not be a next time unless the two children at home promised him something again.

Caius actually didn't want to play games with a bunch of children. He had to pay attention to each child at all times to make sure they were safe and having fun.

It's quite tiring.

Li Yao was called away by Ning Ning. There was no one around him, and there was only a staff member standing guard not far away.

After finally getting some peace and quiet for a while, another young man bumped into me.

It was Yu Rufeng who called, and his tone was very arrogant from the beginning.

"Uncle, my mother ordered you to bring the child back to see me, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

The other party immediately backed off, "Ahem, it's nothing, nothing else, it's just that, can you bear to let her miss her nephew at such an old age and still not be able to see him?"

Yu Rufeng started playing the victim mode, "Alas, uncle, you don't know, my mother misses them so much that she can't eat or sleep well. She's become haggard. Even a heartless person like me can't bear to watch it..."

"What's so good about it? What on earth does she want to do?"

"Hey, uncle, you can't think of my mom like that, right? She's always thinking about you guys, it's just..." He hesitated, and forced a chuckle, "My mom...she wants you to come over with my sister Qiao..."

“Beep—”

Hang up.

Yu Rufeng: “…” If you don’t agree, then just agree. Why did you hang up on me? That’s so rude!

Caius would be crazy to take Li Qiao with him. He couldn't imagine what his strong sister would do if Li Qiao went.

He feels that everything is fine now and doesn't want to disrupt the peace of his current life.

Putting his phone away, he leaned against the wall, sighed, lowered his eyes slightly, and after a long moment, he pulled his lips into a smile.

It seems like I haven’t painted for a long time...

——

The "great hero" Caius helped Li Qiao do a lot. To be honest, Li Qiao felt very relaxed with him around.

She seemed to understand what it felt like to be a "daddy".

Well, she doesn't need to take care of the children, she just needs to come over and take a look when she's free. She doesn't need to do housework, she just needs to enjoy herself...

Caius did all the miscellaneous things, while she only needed to make money.

After the experience, it was indeed very relaxing, but it was enough. She couldn't bully others like this.

Before she could say anything to Caius, the two children in the family suddenly came to her side, pushing each other.

They stood in front of her without saying a word, but anyone could tell that they had something to say.

"What's going on? Do you have anything to say to mom?"

Li Qiao gave each of them a bottle of milk and motioned for them to sit over.

Li Yao pinched little Li Yao lightly, and little Li Yao pouted and glared at his brother.

Hey, have you become more capable?

After the little guy glared at his brother, he refused to look at him again. He was showing with his actions that he didn't want to be the first to stand out.

"Mom won't scold you, brother, you say it."

"She won't scold you, why don't you say anything?"

"I was punished, have you forgotten? I was told to face the wall and reflect on my mistakes. You didn't. So you tell me."

Li Yao: “…”

The two little guys started whispering to each other right under Li Qiao's nose.

Li Qiao smiled without saying anything, quietly waiting for them to work out the issue.

The two people seemed to be arguing with each other, but in the end, little Li Yao lost.

Under pressure from his brother's gaze, he moved slowly to Li Qiao's side and secretly raised his head to see how his mother felt today.

If it doesn't work out, then he... then he'll talk about it another day.

"Hurry up and tell me. I'm going to take a shower after I finish talking."

His brother was urging him on.

The little guy turned his head with a bitter face. He knew, he knew, and said it immediately.

"Mom, can Dad come over to sleep?"
