Chapter 283 Deterrence
"Are you feeling itchy today?" Xu Qingsui said with gritted teeth, pretending to raise his hand to attack the little guy.
The little guy has always been well-behaved and sensible, but today after being with Huo Xilin, he became so tough that he even dared to make jokes with her.
At this moment, Huo Xilin appeared in time, covered the little guy's mouth from behind, and then said to Xu Qingsui: "Do you want to come in and take a bath with us?"
Xu Qingsui: “…”
She wondered why her son had become so tough, and it turned out that it was because of this frivolous old man who taught him badly.
She couldn't help but glare at the father and son fiercely, then turned and walked out of the bathroom, closing the door.
"Dad, is Mommy shy?"
"Yeah, I'm just shy!"
The sound became smaller and smaller as the door closed. Xu Qingsui got on the bed, took out her computer and continued working. However, her mind was in a mess, and she didn't even notice that the tips of her ears had turned red.
After a long while, when Xu Qingsui calmed down, the father and son finally came out of the bathroom in pajamas and with their hair wrapped.
Huo Xilin stuffed the little guy directly into Xu Qingsui's arms, and then he turned around to find a hair dryer in the drawer, intending to blow dry his son and his own hair.
Xu Qingsui pretended to be disgusted and tried to push Xu Youyou away: "Didn't you just team up with Dad to bully me? From now on, you will follow Dad. Mommy doesn't want you anymore!"
Xu Youyou was so scared that she hugged Xu Qingsui tightly like an octopus, apologizing repeatedly: "Mommy, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again, please don't leave me."
Xu Qingsui was just trying to scare him. After all, he was his son, so how could he really not want him?
"If you have to choose between Dad and Mom, who would you choose?" Xu Qingsui asked subconsciously.
But when she saw Xu Youyou's smile froze on her face, she regretted it.
But it was impossible to take back the words once they were spoken, so she could only look at her son and see how he would answer.
At this time, Huo Xilin was coming over with a hair dryer and helping the little guy take off the towel wrapped around his head.
He looked at Xu Youyou who was standing there in a daze, and then looked at Xu Qingsui who asked the question. Neither the mother nor the son spoke again, as if the question just now was just a misunderstanding.
Huo Xilin seemed to understand Xu Qingsui's thoughts. She was probably thinking about how to leave him again. Coincidentally, he also wanted to hear what his son thought.
"If I ask you to choose between Dad and Mommy, will you choose Dad or Mommy?" Huo Xilin sat down on the edge of the bed, with Mommy in front of him and Daddy on his left. Both of them were the most important people to him.
Xu Youyou was instantly in a dilemma, and asked awkwardly, "Can't I choose both?"
For Xu Youyou, mommy is of course the most important person, but he doesn't want to be separated from his dad and become a child without a father.
Just when Xu Qingsui was about to let the matter pass in confusion, Huo Xilin insisted: "No, you must choose one."
At that moment, Xu Youyou's eyes turned red. He looked at his mother, then at his father. He buried his head in his mother's arms, and held his father's hand tightly with his own, stubbornly unwilling to say a word.
He is like an ostrich. When danger comes, he thinks that as long as he buries his head in something, all the danger will be avoided.
At this moment, Xu Qingsui's heart ached extremely. What she hated the most was herself. Why should the mistakes between adults be borne by an innocent child who knew nothing?
She quickly comforted the little guy, "Okay, okay, Mommy and Daddy are just teasing you. Hurry up and get up. Daddy will blow your hair."
Hearing Xu Qingsui's voice, the little guy raised his head, opened his big watery eyes, full of grievance and helplessness, and asked: "You and Dad will never leave Youyou, right?"
"Mommy will never leave you." After Xu Qingsui said this, he subconsciously raised his head and looked at Huo Xilin.
But she found that his eyes were cold, a side of him she rarely saw.
At this moment, she seemed to be back to the first time she met him when she brought Youyou back. He said he wanted to fight for Youyou's custody. At that moment, he was so cold and heartless, as if he had no life.
Huo Xilin's appearance really scared Xu Qingsui.
"Dad, what about you? Will you leave Youyou?" At this moment, Xu Youyou shook Huo Xilin's arm and asked cautiously.
Xu Youyou's voice brought Huo Xilin back to his senses. The ice and snow in his eyes gradually melted, and he returned to normal. He said to the little guy gently: "As long as you and Mommy don't leave Daddy, Daddy will never leave you."
Xu Youyou was young, and he couldn't understand the real meaning of Huo Xilin's words. He only understood that his father said he would never leave him, and his tone was the same as his mother's.
He suddenly became happy, and the gloom just now was swept away.
Huo Xilin looked at Xu Qingsui. She was so scared that she didn't dare to meet his gaze and quickly lowered her head. She was the only one who understood the true meaning of Huo Xilin's words.
Is he threatening her?
After drying the little guy's hair, Huo Xilin took a fairy tale book from the children's room next door and said, "Hurry up and coax our son to sleep. I'm going to the study next door to take care of something."
After saying that, he put the book down and left the room, closing the door behind him.
It was not until Huo Xilin left that Xu Qingsui breathed a sigh of relief.
After spending so much time with him, she almost forgot that he was in a high position and was a person who never showed his emotions. Experiencing that feeling of oppression again made her feel so uncomfortable.
Xu Youyou picked up a storybook she had never heard of and opened it. She looked up and saw that she was in a trance again. She asked curiously, "Mommy, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Qingsui lowered his head and asked the little guy curiously, "Are you afraid of your father?"
Xu Youyou shook her head: "Although Daddy is sometimes cold and doesn't like to laugh, he is very gentle to Youyou and Mommy. I'm not afraid of him."
Xu Qingsui nodded, thinking that her son was different from her after all.
"How are you thinking about transferring schools, which Mommy asked you to consider last time?" Xu Qingsui asked quickly while Huo Xilin was away.
"Mommy, I have discussed it with Ye Zihan, and we have decided to transfer schools together!" Xu Youyou said happily.
Upon hearing the news, Xu Qingsui was struck by lightning. Her son really managed to accomplish great things quietly. Who did he learn this from?
It's exactly the same working style as Huo Xilin!
