"Mommy, then please don't be angry with Daddy, okay?"
Upon hearing the little guy's words, both Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao were stunned!
During this time, Zhu Qianying thought she had been friendly and kind enough to Yan Shao. The two of them had never argued in front of their son, and they had never even spoken harsh words to each other. How did this little guy determine that she was angry with Yan Shao?
Besides, I can't really say I'm angry with Young Master Yan.
"Son, what are you thinking? Daddy and Mommy are fine, why are you angry?"
They were indeed very good friends, or rather, apart from their shared child, Zai Zai, they weren't even close friends.
But I wasn't angry, let alone angry.
"Yes, baby, what are you thinking about all day? Mommy treats Daddy so well, doesn't she? I even cooked noodles for Daddy the other day. How could I be angry with Daddy?"
Young Master Yan quickly echoed.
Children are very perceptive; they have an instinctive intuition about things. The illusions that adults painstakingly create can fool adults, but they just can't fool children.
"Liar!"
The little guy didn't care how his parents explained; he insisted that Daddy had made Mommy angry.
In the end, Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao finally realized that in this matter, perhaps the more they explained, the worse it would get.
So, without further explanation, Zhu Qianying patted the little guy's bottom and urged him to go back to sleep.
Yan Shao squatted down to put slippers on the little guy, but the little guy started to act up again, curling up his toes and kicking his toes, refusing to let him wear them.
Without hesitation, Yan Shao scooped up the little guy around the waist.
Say goodnight to Mommy!
As Yan Shao gave the order, the little guy flew up to Zhu Qianying's face like an aerial acrobat and gave her a quick kiss.
Goodnight, Mommy!
Zhu Qianying nuzzled his face, "Goodnight, Zizai!"
Yan Shao, holding his son, glanced at the computer that was on and said, "You don't need to work overtime. You have to get up early tomorrow morning to take Zizai out!"
Zhu Qianying responded with an "Mmm," but whether she would listen was unknown.
Yan Shao carried Zizai back to their room. As soon as he closed the door, Zizai reached out and tugged at Yan Shao's cheeks, looking rather disappointed in him.
"Daddy, are you an idiot?"
Yan Shao had been called an idiot by his son more than once. He had gotten used to it and was too lazy to even argue back. He picked up his son, walked to the bed, and threw him back onto the bed.
"Stick your foot out, let me wipe it for you."
So, it turns out that Young Master Yan was annoyed that his son had run barefoot past the neighbor's house and gotten his feet dirty.
The little guy had gotten used to his dad's obsession with cleanliness quite a bit. He obediently stretched out his feet, and when Yan Shao took out a wet towel and bent down to wipe his feet, he stared at the top of Yan Shao's head and said something.
"Daddy, don't think Mommy is unwanted! Mommy has many suitors!"
The little guy is clever; when normal conversation wasn't working, he even resorted to reverse psychology!
Young Master Yan's movements visibly faltered for a moment. After realizing what had happened, he felt quite displeased that an adult like himself had been so easily controlled by a four-year-old child.
"Really? Who else?"
Young Master Yan continued to wipe his little feet with his head down, asking casually.
"And Uncle Xing and Uncle Qi... I heard from Auntie that they've liked Mommy for many years, even longer than Daddy!"
Therefore, it's better for children not to be too smart. The little guy just overheard Zhu Qianying and Zhu Qianyu talking about Xing Bailun and Qi Xiao not having girlfriends at Yanbo and his wife's wedding anniversary party, and that's how he came to all these conclusions.
Actually, the little guy wasn't quite sure if Uncle Xing and Uncle Qi liked Mommy, because he had only eaten with Mommy and the uncles two or three times. However, it was true that the uncles treated him very well and doted on him!
The kindness and affection they showed him were comparable to that shown by Uncle Cheng Ye, so the little guy immediately categorized both uncles as "Mommy admirers," just like Uncle Cheng Ye.
But believe it or not, the little guy actually stumbled upon it by sheer chance.
Yan Shao had always been quite annoyed with Xing Bailun and the others, but out of consideration for face and manners, he had never made any move to express it.
Zhu Qianying was already his wife, and the two had such a grown son. From any perspective, he was the winner.
Besides, Xing Bailun and the others hadn't done anything outrageous, so he naturally couldn't keep picking fights with them.
But now that the little guy had said that, he realized that he had probably been too lax. If even a four-year-old could see that, then something was definitely brewing again.
Yan Shao was planning to find out more about those people when he got back. At this critical juncture, he couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
With internal troubles still unresolved, if external threats were to arise, he really wouldn't have the energy to deal with them all.
"Little brat, don't listen to your aunt's nonsense!"
Even though he had become wary, Yan Shao still couldn't bring himself to admit that he had many rivals in love, and he was even less willing to face the fact that Xing Bailun and the others had indeed liked Zhu Qianying for much longer than he had.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Mommy is so good and beautiful. Besides Uncle Xing and Uncle Qi, there must be other people who like Mommy."
Well, the little guy not only implicated Xing and Qi, but also reminded him of his hidden rivals who had never seen the light of day.
Yan Shao really wanted to show off and say that he also had many admirers, but he suddenly remembered that this was his little darling. Whether he could win Zhu Qianying home depended on this little darling's help, so he absolutely could not be so quick to boast about who liked him in front of her.
In particular, Yi Wei.
"Alright, alright, of course the little darling's mommy is good and beautiful. She's my wife, how could she not be good, how could she not be beautiful?"
Seeing that he not only lacked any sense of crisis but also looked smug, Zizai snorted, "I'm too lazy to bother with you. Don't come crying to me later!"
In fact, no matter how frustrated Yan Shao was in front of Zhu Qianying, he still felt quite superior to Cheng Ye and Xing Bailun at the moment.
First, they had a child together, Zizai.
Secondly, they are still a legally married couple protected by law.
Finally, Zhu Qianying's relationship with him was the closest. With the others, at best, they remained just good friends, never progressing any further. But with him…
Thinking of what came after that string of ellipses, Yan Shao felt a burning sensation in his nose. Before he could pay much attention, he heard the little guy scream.
"Oh! Daddy, why are you bleeding?"
