Chapter 37 It’s so good to have a daddy
Zhao Wanyue and Su Bowen were both startled and jumped away as if they were electrocuted.
Zhao Wanyue hurriedly said, "Bowen, Xiaoxiao is awake, I'll go see her."
Speaking of his daughter, Su Bowen didn't care where the voice just now came from. His daughter was more than four months old, and he had never seen her once.
He looked at the chubby little person on the crib, his heart was about to melt, and he pulled Zhao Wanyue's hand again: "Xiaoxiao is so cute, she will be as beautiful as you when she grows up!"
Su Xiaoxiao glared at Su Bowen, thinking angrily: [Humph, do you think you can buy me by praising me? It's not enough to hug my mother, you also want to hold her hand. When my father comes back, let him chop off your hand! Su Bowen
was startled and let go of Zhao Wanyue's hand. This voice, couldn't it be made by his little daughter?
Zhao Wanyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This child was really talkative. She quickly picked up Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, look, your dad is back!"
Su Bowen also stretched out his hand, "Come, daddy will hold you!"
[Daddy? Isn't daddy said to be handsome and suave? How come he is a rough man with stubble on his face? Could it be that mother was caught and fooled me?] Every cell of Su Xiaoxiao was filled with resistance.
Su Bowen was embarrassed. He came back exhausted and the first thing he did was to see the emperor. Did his daughter abandon him?
Zhao Wanyue had three black lines on his face, "My dear, you are really my dear daughter. You miss your mother so much!"
He withdrew his outstretched hand, smiled awkwardly and said, "Xiaoxiao is so pink and tender. I will take a shower and change clothes first, then I will hug her!"
He was not surprised at all that he heard his daughter's voice. He was thinking hard about how to live up to the standard of being suave and handsome as his little daughter said.
Su Bowen packed up and said lovingly, "Xiaoxiao, you can let daddy hug you now!"
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "Daddy is really handsome. That rough guy just now wanted to be my daddy. He is dreaming! "
Zhao Wanyue sighed, her daughter is a beauty lover, will she be deceived by handsome men in the future? It's really worrying! Su Bowen hugged his soft daughter, couldn't let her go, and
spoke with a lisp: "Xiaoxiao, let daddy take a good look, our Xiaoxiao has grown up so much!"
As he said that, he couldn't help but kiss Xiaoxiao on the face, then lifted Xiaoxiao up high and put her down.
Su Xiaoxiao was amused and giggled [So this is what it feels like to be lifted up high. Now if any little brat laughs at me, I can tell him that I have a father and a mother, and daddy also lifts me up high! 】
Su Bowen was so distressed that tears were about to fall after hearing what his daughter said. Who dared to laugh at his daughter? He should be arrested and sent to the army to serve as a soldier and tortured to death.
Zhao Wanyue was also very sad. From the information Xiaoxiao revealed from time to time, she had a very hard life in her previous life. They must compensate her well in this life.
Su Bowen blinked his eyes, forced back his tears, and said casually: "Xiaoxiao, you like to be lifted up high, right? Come on, let's play again!"
Su Xiaoxiao was thrown high up, and was caught steadily by Su Bowen's strong hands.
Su Xiaoxiao laughed non-stop: [It's fun, fun, let's do it again! Zhao Wanyue frowned and said ,
"Slow down, Xiaoxiao is a girl, she is precious, don't scare her!"
The family of three was happy and cheerful, full of laughter and warmth. Su Xiaoxiao had never laughed so happily before.
She was just laughing when the maid in Liu's room came to report, "Sir, it's bad, Madam is too sad and fainted?"
Su Bowen paused, handed the child to Zhao Wanyue and said, "I'll go and see!"
Su Xiaoxiao snorted angrily: [The old witch is going to make trouble again. Silly dad believes in her, but don't be fooled. 】
Zhao Wanyue also had this worry, and asked the maid who came to report the news: "Have you called a doctor? Or should I go with you?"
The little maid hesitated and said: "The old lady fainted and woke up again, and she told only the prince to go!"
Su Bowen sighed and said to Zhao Wanyue: "Then I will go, in case mother gets excited and faints again."
【Wow, I knew she was up to no good, take me with you, I want to eat melons! 】Su Xiaoxiao wanted to see how Liu fooled her father who was known for his filial piety.
Su Bowen happened to be holding Xiaoxiao and was reluctant to let go. Thinking that the old lady would be very happy to see her granddaughter, he said: "I will take Xiaoxiao with me!"
【Great, let's go eat melons! Su Xiaoxiao's happiness was beyond words.
Su Bowen frowned. Eat melon? Can Xiaoxiao already eat complementary food? What's so delicious about melon? I don't understand.
Zhao Wanyue's mouth twitched. This girl never mind watching the excitement. She even watched the excitement in her own family. But it doesn't matter. Xiaoxiao went there. With her unconcerned nature, she would pour out everything that Liu said.
Liu was lying on the bed with a hot towel on her head, groaning for no reason.
Su Bowen was anxious. His father had been away leading troops in the early years, and his mother was the only one who took care of the household affairs. When he was seven years old, his father returned victorious and was named Duke of Zhenguo. But the good times didn't last long. His father suddenly became ill and couldn't get up. The burden of the family fell on his mother again.
In Su Bowen's memory, his mother was a strong and stern person, and it was really impossible to associate her with this frail old lady on the bed.
"Mom, are you feeling better?" Su Bowen felt sad.
"Bowen, mother is wronged!" Liu cried and complained: "You have seen how I treated Wanyue these years, but who knew she would be alienated from me and be on guard against me everywhere. My heart hurts more than a needle prick."
Su Bowen's eyelids twitched. He was always grateful that his mother and wife were close, which always made him an outsider and never had to suffer. It seemed that he was still too young, and what was supposed to come would eventually come.
"Mother, didn't Wanyue say that it was the prince's intention? No matter how precocious the prince is, he is still an eight-year-old child. It is not impossible that he will really ask about it one day. She can put those things wherever she wants."
Zhao Wanyue almost died of dystocia, so she was right to be angry. Su Bowen did have some awareness of this, and his mother just needed to comfort him.
"Su Bowen, you are such an ungrateful person. You really forgot your mother after you married a wife. Who cares about what's going on? Your wife has even changed her husband. She manages all the shops and farms that came with her as a dowry. Are you trying to separate us?" Thinking of how she sold everything to save her grandson Caidie, Liu felt so angry that her teeth itched.
Su Bowen was very surprised. Zhao Wanyue was born in a wealthy family and treated money like dirt. She was the one who was talking about him. How could she do such a thing?
Zheng Yaxian exaggerated and said, "My mother went to the cabinet to withdraw a few taels of silver, but was kicked out. She was so angry that she was sick for several months!"
Hearing this, Su Bowen was a little angry. He frowned and said, "How could this happen? Wanyue has always been generous. How could she do this? How can this family be divided so clearly?"
