The little guy blinked and looked up at Yan Shao with a puzzled expression.

"Why? Mommy said that it's your own business, and you can decide for yourself!"

The little guy, who has been taught to be independent since he was a child, sensed that his mother was unhappy, but still didn't think he had done anything wrong. Now that he's talking about it, he inevitably feels a little wronged.

Yan Shao gently stroked the little guy's soft hair, thought for a moment, carefully organized his thoughts, and then spoke to the little guy.

“Zizai, this isn’t just about you. You’re Daddy and Mommy’s son, and Grandpa and Grandma’s grandson. That’s a fact that no one can change.”

Although Yan Shao's relationship with his son has improved and become much closer recently, he has basically not done anything about educating his son.

Because, in his view, his son's level of maturity sometimes surpasses that of his father.

Therefore, if he were to preach profound truths to his son now, he would have to put in a lot of thought and careful consideration to ensure that his son understood and to avoid misleading him.

The young master's mind worked quickly, and he immediately understood what Young Master Yan wanted to express.

"I know, even if he recognizes his godparents, his grandparents are still his biological grandparents! He won't go and live with them, and he won't take their surname Lei. His name is still Yanxu!"

It must be said that Vic Zhou is very good at grasping the core of the conversation.

Yan Shao secretly praised his son, then pondered for a moment and tried to explain in more depth.

"If Daddy or Mommy sees a cute child in the park, and without asking Zai Zai's opinion, they directly adopt the child as their godson, and this godson calls us Daddy and Mommy just like Zai Zai, would Zai Zai be happy?"

Zizai tilted his head and thought for a moment. Finally, he scratched his head, as if he understood what Yan Shao wanted to express.

"Of course I'm unhappy!"

That's exactly what Young Master Yan wanted to hear!

"If we take this child home first, introduce him to you, and then, with your consent, adopt him as our godson, would you still be unhappy?"

The little guy thought about it again, and finally shook his head, "If I also like that child, I probably wouldn't..."

"Yes, so of course, Zizai can make his own decisions, but when it comes to matters involving Daddy, Mommy, or Grandpa and Grandma, he also needs to respect his elders, understand?"

Zizai paused for a moment, then said, "Daddy, are you saying that Mommy doesn't dislike having sex with grandpa and grandma, but rather feels that Zizai is disrespecting her?"

Yan Shao increasingly felt that his son was much more perceptive than he was when it came to interpersonal relationships and social interactions.

"Yes, that's probably a fair assessment."

As soon as Yan Shao finished speaking, the little guy threw off the covers and ran out barefoot.

Soon, Yan Shao heard the door next door being pushed open with a bang. He couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. This little guy was so anxious that he forgot to knock!

"Mommy!"

The little guy's clear chirping came through, indicating that he not only forgot to knock, but also forgot to close the door after going in.

Yan Shao calmly got up, put on his shoes, bent down, picked up the little guy's shoes, and walked to the next room.

Zhu Qianying was sitting in front of the table, on which was an open laptop. The screen displayed the interface she used when designing jewelry products.

Clearly, she didn't intend to go to sleep immediately after taking a shower.

Yan Shao didn't know what to say to her. He considered whether he should talk to her later. She was just working and hadn't sold herself to Ying Jewelry. She shouldn't be working overtime every day and disregarding her health.

The little guy, who had run over barefoot, had already climbed onto Zhu Qianying's lap, his little hands wrapped around her neck, and the mother and son faced each other.

"Mommy, I'm sorry!"

Zhu Qianying's thoughts were still on the design drawings when she suddenly heard Zizai apologize, leaving her completely confused.

"Baby, what are you sorry about?"

Upon hearing footsteps, Zizai tilted his body and looked at Yan Shao. Seeing that it was Yan Shao, he grinned at him and then looked at Zhu Qianying with a very serious expression.

"Mommy, did my decision to recognize my godparents upset you?"

Zhu Qianying also heard the footsteps, turned her head to look at Yan Shao, and then turned back to ask her son.

"Who said that?"

Zizai pointed to Yan Shao, who had already walked to the side, and said, "Daddy said it!"

Zhu Qianying felt strange. This young master Yan was becoming more and more amazing. He even managed to detect her emotions, which she had concealed so well.

But in reality, it wasn't Yan Shao who noticed she was unhappy first, but Zizai herself.

However, it was Yan Shao who gave Zizai a few words of guidance and education, making Zizai understand where he had offended his mother.

"Tell me, what's wrong with Mommy?"

Zhu Qianying deliberately ignored Yan Shao and pinched her son's cheek before asking.

"Zizai is Mommy's son. He should have asked Mommy's permission first before recognizing his godparents. I'm sorry, Mommy!"

Yan Shao was very pleased with himself. In his heart, he secretly gave his son a thumbs up. "Hmm, he's a promising young man!"

Zhu Qianying was very gratified. After her son recognized Yan Shao as his father, he did not become domineering and dictatorial like his father. Instead, he became more considerate and understanding.

"Yes, Mommy was a little unhappy at first, but then I thought about how good Zai Zai's godparents are to him, and now there are two more people to love and care for him. So all my unhappiness disappeared."

Zhu Qianying was telling the truth. At first, she was indeed a little bothered that her son had become someone else's godchild for no reason. Naturally, she felt a bit uncomfortable, as if half of her son had been taken away.

But after Yan Shao gave her some pointers, she realized that everything has two sides. In her view, her son had been divided in half, but from her son's perspective, he had gained a pair of respectable and powerful elders who were good to him.

Zizai has a long life ahead of him, and who knows what he might encounter in the future? These two elders will protect and love him just like she and Yan Shao, his parents.

From this perspective, it becomes addition, rather than subtraction as she understands it.

When Zizai heard Zhu Qianying say that, he was overjoyed. But after a moment, he cupped Zhu Qianying's face in his hands, looking at her carefully.

"Mommy, are you really not angry with Zizai?"

Zhu Qianying was both annoyed and amused. "Really, no, Mommy isn't that petty, okay?"

Zhu Qianying's words seemed to remind Zizai of something, and he looked up and glanced at Yan Shao.

Yan Shao instinctively felt that the little guy had made a connection to him, and was about to change the subject when he heard his son say something.

"Mommy, then please don't be angry with Daddy, okay?"
