"Oh dear, Mommy, I'm sorry, I forgot. I've grown quite a bit, haven't I?"
Zhu Qianying's lips twitched. She raised her aching hand and pinched his chubby face, thinking to herself, "He's not growing up, he's just getting fat!"
"Yes, my little darling has grown up!"
Fortunately, he's good-looking enough. Even though his face is chubby, it's still very pleasing to the eye and he looks very handsome!
The thought of the word "handsome" sent a shiver down Zhu Qianying's spine!
I forced myself to look back at my son. Actually, he's gained some weight and become more lively. In fact, he's even cuter than before.
"Mommy, does Grandma really have a boyfriend? Is Zizai going to have a grandfather?"
After confirming that his mother was alright, Zizai immediately asked about what had just happened.
Zhu Qianying patted his head, somewhat speechless.
Who on earth is so gossipy as to spread this news to this young master?
You know, once he finds out, all sorts of divine interventions and pitiful acts will come out in droves.
She had firsthand experience with this, but while she was resolute at the time, it was hard to say what would happen to her mother, who was so indecisive.
"Honey, who told you that?"
It seems we need to address the root cause first.
"Sister Xiaoya..."
Zizai answered with an innocent look, completely unaware that he had betrayed someone.
Zhu Qianying thought to herself, "Just as I thought! That gossipy girl!"
Despite the aches and pains in her body, Zhu Qianying propped herself up and sat up. "Don't listen to Sister Xiaoya's nonsense, that's just shooting an advertisement!"
Zizai looked completely bewildered. "Shooting an advertisement?"
Zhu Qianying had no choice but to continue with the lie that had slipped out of her mouth.
"Yes, isn't Grandma going to participate in that food exhibition competition? So, she needs to shoot a commercial!"
Zizai looked at Zhu Qianying with a skeptical expression, "Really?"
“Of course it’s true!” Zhu Qianying blinked her equally “innocent” eyes.
"When can we see it on TV? I want to tell Bai Xiaolu!"
Zhu Qianying secretly rolled her eyes. She really had to tell Bai Xiaolu everything, big or small!
"This is an international food exhibition, something you can't see in China..." Zhu Qianying continued to use her intelligence and tirelessly continued to cover up her lie.
"All right……"
Zizai looked disappointed.
As for whether she was disappointed because the handsome older man wasn't her mother-in-law's boyfriend, or because the advertisement wasn't available in China, Zhu Qianying had no idea, and she didn't intend to ask anyway.
Because she was afraid that if she asked, the clever little guy would find out she was lying.
When she got up and went downstairs, the living room was empty.
Where's your daddy?
Today is Saturday, and normally, employees of Yanhuang Group should be off.
However, it's hard to say about Young Master Yan.
Normally, if he has to work overtime, he will leave a note to let us know. But today, why is there nothing?
"Daddy just got a phone call and said he has to go out for a bit, so we don't need to wait for him for lunch."
Zhu Qianying said "Oh," and before she could ask, the little guy said, "Grandpa and Grandma went to the garden to admire the flowers, Mommy, do you want to go?"
Zhu Qianying shook her head, "Never mind, Mommy's been very tired lately and wants to rest!"
"Then Zizai will stay with you!"
Zhu Qianying patted the little guy's head, "Zizai, do whatever you want, Mommy can do it all!"
Since starting school, the little one has significantly reduced his playtime.
Although the so-called heavy homework didn't stump him, spending the whole day at school and only having a little time to play after school in the evening was far from enough for Zizai, a naturally active little rascal.
So, this little guy gets especially noisy on Saturdays and Sundays, even more so than before.
Even though Zhu Qianying said that, the little guy still followed Zhu Qianying step by step.
"Mommy..." He tugged at Zhu Qianying's sleeve, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong? Is something bothering my little darling?" Judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be uncomfortable, but rather like he had something he was having trouble talking about.
"Mommy, can I invite Bai Xiaolu over to play?"
Zhu Qianying breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought that the little guy would have "puberty" troubles so soon!
"Sure! No, why not? This is Zizai's home, you can invite whoever you want to come over!"
Zizai's face immediately brightened. "Really? Can I invite Nannan and Tingting over to play too?"
Zhu Qianying patted his head, squatted down, and said to him.
"Sweetie, this place, like our apartment and seaside villa, is Mommy's, Daddy's, home. So, if you want to invite any friends or classmates over to play, just tell us, okay?"
This is also my own fault for being negligent.
That day at the restaurant, she told several elders that she wanted to get back together with Yan Shao. As adults, they naturally understood what she meant, but for Zizai, who was a child, those words seemed very abstract and vague.
If she remembered correctly, according to Zizai, she and his father were still divorced.
Zhu Qianying stood up and looked at her son very seriously. "Baby, Mommy has something to tell you."
Zizai immediately became serious as well, and silently let Zhu Qianying lead him to the sofa. When Zhu Qianying sat down, he also consciously climbed up and sat down next to her.
“Zizai, Mommy told you before that when you were very, very young, Daddy and Mommy got divorced.”
A hint of panic flashed in Zizai's eyes, "Mommy..."
Zhu Qianying held her son's hand tightly. "Yes, back then, Mommy and Daddy had some misunderstandings, so they separated. Now, Mommy and Daddy have cleared up their misunderstandings, so they remarried and are living together again."
The panic in Zizai's eyes disappeared, replaced by confusion.
"Mommy, why don't you and Daddy have a wedding?"
In his view, since it's a marriage, it should be like what's shown on TV, with people wearing wedding dresses and exchanging rings to make it a proper marriage!
But Mommy wasn't wearing a wedding dress, she wasn't even wearing a wedding cape!
Although Zhu Qianying was overwhelmed by her son's questions, she still had to bite the bullet and answer them.
"Daddy and Mommy got married. Mommy wore a wedding dress when you were still in Mommy's belly!"
"But you two got divorced, didn't you? If you remarry, of course you'll wear the same clothes again, right?"
Analyzing it according to Zizai's logic, that's indeed correct!
Zhu Qianying was momentarily at a loss for words. She scratched her head, thought for a moment, and then said, "A wedding dress only needs to be worn once..."
Indeed, even she herself found this statement somewhat far-fetched.
But how could she tell her son that Lu Yanshao had never been divorced all these years?
Or, even if I said it now, my son might not believe me.
