Chen Rou was focused on her work and didn't actually hear what Nie Zhao was saying.
He simply responded with a habitual "Oh," and said, "Not bad."
Mr. Nie only showed so much patience when he was with his wife.
Of course, it's more likely because she was handling a gun, and what he feared most was also a gun.
Just then, the nanny arrived to change A-Yuan's diaper.
Nie Zhao handed the child to the nanny and said, "He already has independent language awareness, Arou, he is a genius."
This brings us to why Nie Zhao was so afraid that Yu Heng would kill him.
Although he has learned humility since A-Yuan was born, he always says that as long as his son is safe and sound, that's all that matters.
But those who know, know, when children are young, people always like to speculate on the possibility of getting into Tsinghua or Peking University based on various details. It's only when the children start school and have to spend a long time calculating 1+1+2 that people realize they're just an ordinary kid.
In Chen Rou's view, Nie Zhao was not a genius, but rather, his genius syndrome had relapsed.
She looked up at Nie Zhao: "Did A-Yuan call me 'Mom'?"
The diaper had been changed, and although the little guy still wanted to rub his bottom, the nanny certainly didn't dare.
Despite the little one's persistent efforts, she finally managed to get him into the gym.
As Nie Zhao waited expectantly, the little guy dawdled all the way to Chen Rou, saying, "Mang Mang, Mang Mang!"
Boss Nie said resentfully, "He was clearly shouting, but you didn't hear him?"
This was the first time his son had called out to someone, and he called her "Mom," but his wife didn't even realize it.
It was mainly because Yu Heng would come out and scare him every now and then, which made him a bit nervous.
Mr. Nie's resentment was amplified, and he slumped to the ground. When he reached for his tie, he realized he was wearing pajamas.
After a long pause, he sighed softly, "Alas!"
Chen Rou didn't actually think that the child's sudden outburst meant he was consciously calling for his mother.
She felt it was more like an unconscious humming.
Moreover, she was annoyed by Nie Zhao's overreaction, as if he were the only family in all of Hong Kong with children.
But as she was putting the gun into the box, she suddenly noticed the frustration and sadness on Nie Zhao's face.
How should I describe it? It's like Boss Nie always seems to live in a state of wanting but not getting.
Nie Yao was Nie Rong's love before, but now she is A Yuan's love. Those who are favored are fearless, while Nie Zhao, who has given so much, somehow can never get that favor.
But these things have nothing to do with money, because money can't buy a father's love or a mother's love.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Rou turned to A Yuan and said, "Baby, call out with Mommy, call, call, Daddy!"
A-Yuan turned to look at his father, opened his mouth, but what came out was, "Oh?"
Chen Rou said, "No, it's Dad. Come on, call me Dad."
The little guy thought for a moment, then opened his mouth again, but still only said, "Mang, mang mang!"
Okay, Chen Rou's patience was running out, and she snapped at her son, "You're doing it wrong again! Follow my example, Dad!"
The little guy thought for a moment, but realized he couldn't get it, so he lowered his big eyes and pouted, "Mang Mang!"
Nie Zhao quickly picked up his son, trying to save face for him: "He's only five months old, it's already amazing that he can call me 'Mom'."
He added, "His language system is beyond that of any other person his age that I know."
Chen Rou was actually just coaxing him; it was only because she wasn't truly invested that she received such genuine affection.
She said in a serious tone, "He didn't call out before you came. He just learned it. I guess it means 'Dad'."
He put away all the guns and bullets, got up, put on a bulletproof vest, and wore goggles.
She turned back, smiled, and said, "I have to go practice my shooting now. Your son, who loves you the most, is your responsibility to raise by yourself."
Was he really favored? Nie Zhao turned to look at his son. Well, sure enough, he called out again: "Mang Mang, Mang Mang Mang."
Watching his wife leave, Nie Zhao said, "Come on, Dad will take you to play on the slide."
Yes, let's talk about that Mr. Luo who was kidnapped by Zhang Zi and barely survived. His whole family had betrayed him, and his wife, a young lady from a prominent family, had to mortgage all her dowry, including all the properties under her children's names. What was originally worth 1 billion was only worth 600 million in cash, which saved his life.
Of course, after his return, his brothers paid out of their own pockets to redeem his assets and handed them all over to him. But that also meant that his wife's dowry, worth nearly 600 million, was completely gone after the deal was done, and it all went to him.
But after recuperating for several months, the first thing he did was to personally go to court with his mistress to win custody of his three sons and divorce his wife. His reason was that since his wife could afford to pay, why didn't she run away in the first place and instead let him suffer for several months? He also announced that he would never see his wife again, even if it meant death.
Therefore, men all over the world, especially those in Hong Kong, are heartless.
From Nie Zhao's perspective, Boss Luo was taking advantage of his wife's illness to kill her, because his wife currently had no property under her name, could not afford a good lawyer, was disliked by her family, and was also very angry, only asking for a divorce and not dividing the property. But once she realized that she had been tricked, he would fight for her property.
But a woman's emotional nature is such that she is willing to give up 600 million yuan to prove her love. Of course, she doesn't know that her love is worthless. Her husband will only laugh and scold her in front of his mistress, calling her a fool.
Nie Zhao saw through everything and laughed at Madam Luo for being too foolish.
He also understood Boss Luo's shrewdness and ruthlessness, and of course, he could see through Chen Rou's pity and kindness towards him.
It's really strange, she's clearly a rough and unrefined person, skilled in wielding knives and spears and prone to carelessness.
But in all of Hong Kong, or rather, in the whole world, only she could see his breakdown and sadness.
Only she knew that what he craved was not favoritism, but simply to be seen.
But perhaps it was fate. Of the two most important people in his life, his father only saw Nie Yao, while his son, this adorable, fragrant, and soft little rascal, only ever had eyes for his mother.
...
Nie Zhao has something quite important to discuss with Chen Rou today, so he wants his son to play a little longer and go to bed early so he can sleep soundly until dawn and not disturb the couple.
Strangely enough, the little guy was yawning while eating dinner. He hadn't even finished his milk when his eyes were already closed. And then, no matter how much Ren Nie Zhao fussed over him, he wouldn't open his eyes again and slept soundly.
Why does my child seem so tired today?
