Xi Bao looked at Si Lili seriously and corrected her earnestly: "Auntie, Mom and teacher all taught Xi Bao to be honest and be a good child."
I never lie, and I haven't misremembered; these words were clearly spoken by you!
Seeing Xi Bao's serious expression, Si Lili forced herself to answer, "Okay! I...I...I was just joking."
She secretly glanced at her brother's face, her heart pounding with anxiety, truly worried that he might flick her forehead.
Si Lijue merely glanced coldly at Si Lili, giving her a warning that she would regret it.
Then, looking down at the baby in her arms, her eyes instantly became kind and gentle, and she praised Xibao without reservation.
"Xi Bao is great! Children should be honest and not lie. Your mother and teacher are right."
Xi Bao was a little smug after receiving her father's praise. She stared intently into Si Li Jue's eyes with her bright, sparkling eyes and asked like a little adult, "Daddy, will you really hurt my mommy? Will you punish her?"
Then, she pitifully pleaded, "Dad, can you spare Mom and Aunt for Xibao's sake? Xibao can't live without them, and they can't live without Xibao either."
If you agree, Xibao promises she'll love you even more from now on!
When you get old, I will never unplug your oxygen tube!
I will take good care of you and see you off in your old age.
Xi Bao's words left Si Lijue somewhat amused and exasperated. He hadn't expected this little guy to be so bold despite his young age.
She actually knew how to negotiate with him and even knew how to threaten him at the right time to make him obediently comply.
Great! He's just like his own son!
Si Lijue ruffled his son's hair, gazing lovingly at the little one in his arms, and said softly, "Okay! I'll listen to Xibao and won't make things difficult for them."
Xi Bao, still not reassured, asked again, "Dad, you'll keep your word, right?"
A real man should not break his word.
And lying to children will turn you into a puppy!
"Yes! I won't lie to you!" Si Lijue replied firmly.
Seeing that Si Lijue's expression didn't seem to be lying, Xi Bao thought about how her mother had been carried away by her father and hadn't come back with him, and she was quite worried about her mother's safety.
He pursed his lips, fidgeting with his fingernails, and cautiously asked Si Lijue, "Since Dad promised Xibao he wouldn't make things difficult for Aunt and Mom, where is my mom?"
Why didn't she come back with her father? When will Xibao be able to see her mother?
Looking at Xi Bao's worried face, Si Lijue's heart softened for some reason. He said softly, "Your mother was too tired from her blind date today and fell asleep at home. I'll take you to see her later."
Xi Bao looked at Si Li Jue with a puzzled expression and asked suspiciously, "Home? Isn't this Daddy's home? But Mommy isn't here?"
Si Lijue laughed and said, "This is my grandparents' house, so your mother is naturally at our house."
Xi Bao's eyes were filled with surprise and shock as she excitedly asked, "Is our home the same as Daddy and Mommy's old home?"
“Yes, this will also be Xibao’s home from now on.” Si Lijue wanted to get closer to Xibao, so he emphasized repeatedly.
"That's wonderful! Xibao finally has a decent home. She's no longer the wild child people say she is. There's a dad, a mom, and Xibao at home. The three of us will never be separated again." Xibao clapped her hands excitedly and smiled happily.
Then, he said in a light voice, "Dad, you're so good! Xibao loves you!" After saying that, he gave Si Lijue a big kiss on the cheek.
When Si Lijue heard Xi Bao's words, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He seemed to understand why Su Niannian went on a blind date.
Perhaps it was Xi Bao's smile that influenced him, or perhaps it was Xi Bao's sudden kiss that moved him, but Si Lijue's expression softened at a visible speed, and his previous coldness disappeared.
He whispered to the little one in his arms, "Xibao, Daddy loves you too. Go upstairs with Aunt Chen and take a bath. Wait for me in the room. Daddy will come to find you in a little while, okay?"
"Okay!" Xi Bao felt inexplicably happy just thinking that his father would take him to their little home to find his mother.
"Hiss!" Si Lili couldn't help but gasp, secretly marveling, "My brother's face-changing speed is even faster than Sichuan opera face-changing!"
When he treated me, he was as cold as ice, as if I were a complete stranger who owed him a fortune, and he never gave me a kind look.
However, what about when he faces Xibao? Goodness, the expression on his face instantly becomes incredibly gentle, full of doting affection, smiling like a flower, so kind and gentle that it's hard to believe it's the same person!
Sigh, it really proves the saying—comparison is the thief of joy!
"Aunt Chen!" Si Lijue called out towards the kitchen, waiting for the person inside to come out.
Upon hearing the call, Chen Ma immediately came out of the kitchen and approached Si Lijue, respectfully asking, "Young Master, what are your orders?"
Si Lijue said in a deep voice, "Take the young master upstairs to take a bath."
"Yes, young master!" Aunt Chen nodded, then asked, "Which room should the young master stay in?"
Xi Bao returned to the old house in a hurry, and since the master and madam were not at home, the servants had not yet had time to tidy up Xi Bao's room.
Without thinking, Si Lijue blurted out, "Let him stay in my room first."
Huh? The young master has been a germaphobe since he was a child. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter his room, touch his things, let alone use his bathroom to take a shower.
Now he not only lets young master Xibao take a bath in his room, but according to him, he also wants to sleep in the same bed with the young master at night.
Seeing the young master sitting on the eldest young master's lap, he not only didn't feel disgusted, but also took the initiative to hug the young master, just like a responsible and good father. He didn't mind Xi Bao's touch at all, which was really strange!
Is this the power of blood ties?
"Yes!" After accepting the order, Chen Ma extended her hand and invited Xi Bao with a smile, "Young Master, would you like to come with me to take a bath?"
Xi Bao stretched out her chubby little hand, took Chen Ma's hand, jumped down from Si Li Jue's lap, and said sweetly, "Okay, thank you! Grandma Chen."
He noticed that this Mrs. Chen was older than his own parents, and his father even called her "Mom." Out of politeness, he took the initiative to call Mrs. Chen "Grandma."
Chen Ma stared intently at Xi Bao, her heart filled with joy. She couldn't help but think to herself, "The young master not only looks like the eldest young master, but he's also just as sensible and well-mannered. He's truly a good child."
I wonder who the young master's mother is? She must be a well-mannered and kind woman. Otherwise, she couldn't have raised such an outstanding young man.
However, since the young master and young lady were both there, she naturally dared not accept the title of "Grandma".
So he quickly corrected him: "Oh dear! Young master, you can't call me grandma, I can't accept that!"
