Chapter 191 Admitting and correcting mistakes is a good quality
The wristwatch suddenly vibrated. Zuo Shan answered it and saw that it was a video call from Xiao Bai, who probably wanted to see his godson again. Zuo Shan casually clicked to answer.
Having just finished a family mission, Mortilan Shield washed up and couldn't wait to put on the Illusion Mask and dial the woman's contact number.
After not seeing him for a few days, I wonder if his genius adopted son still remembers him?
It is said that a baby's memory can only be retained for a few minutes or hours. Only through repeated visual and auditory stimulation can a relatively deep memory be left.
As soon as the video call connected, his eyes immediately fell on the pack of napkins on the dining table.
The reason he could recognize it at a glance was because it was a brand he had been using since childhood called Yunrou. It was very expensive, of particularly high quality, and had a soft, delicate texture that didn't leave any residue.
As far as he knew, this was a radiation-free product produced in the central area, something even Matt and Mina couldn't bear to buy.
Given that woman's frugality, even if she could buy it, let alone not having a place to buy it, she would absolutely not be willing to buy it and use it.
There's only one possibility: it was a gift from someone else. And the person who sent this pack of napkins must be at least a prominent figure within District 10.
People from within the 40th district rarely venture into places like the 48th district, let alone big shots from within the 10th district.
This person condescended to come to District 48, and it's definitely not because of that woman. Could it be that someone accidentally discovered Ah Chen's extraordinary talent and came to snatch the child?
Or perhaps his unknown cousin came to their door, staged a scene of father and son recognizing each other, and then used his power to force them to keep the child and abandon the mother?
A multitude of thoughts raced through his mind, each one related to a conspiracy.
Fortunately, the woman in the video appeared to be unharmed, and her expression even seemed to convey a mix of... excitement and agitation?
Could it be that his cousin promised to take her away, settle her in the Inner Ten District, and keep her as a secret lover from then on?
The moment the thought crossed his mind, he instinctively frowned.
After seeing off the eccentric guest, Lele went to wash the dishes, while Zuo Shan was busy wiping the table. She glanced up and saw the holographic projection of Xiao Bai frowning at her.
Oh, so they're upset that she was too slow and didn't project the video onto the crib immediately?
Zuo Shan wiped the table haphazardly, then walked to the crib and pointed the wristwatch camera at A-Chen, who was babbling, saying, "Baby, your godfather has come to see you. Quickly say hello to him!"
Ah Chen saw his most dangerous number one enemy again, but he was no longer so afraid of him.
His experience from several encounters told him that as long as he couldn't sense this person's presence, he wouldn't be able to harm him or his mother.
So the baby rolled its eyes at him without any hesitation!
Xiao Bai was pleasantly surprised and excitedly said, "Miss Zuo, look! Achen has learned to flirt with me!"
Left Fan: What the heck is this "exchanging glances" thing? It was clearly just rolling your eyes, okay?
Okay, rolling your eyes is actually a way of conveying an emotion through your eyes, but it's not about affection.
The word "emotion" itself encompasses so many emotions, such as joy, anger, love, hate, worry, thought, and fear. Therefore, describing rolling one's eyes as conveying affection through glances is not strictly wrong.
As for some newbie's wishful thinking that rolling one's eyes means liking or being happy, let them be.
The baby changes almost every day after birth. After a few days without seeing the baby, Xiaobai noticed that he had become even more handsome.
The Lan Dun family produces many beauties, so he was immune to handsome men and beautiful women from a young age. But for some reason, he couldn't bear to look away from Ah Chen, this little baby. The more he looked, the more he loved him, and he wished he could hold him in his arms and rub against him.
After staring at Achen for a full half minute, Xiaobai finally regained her senses and put on a serious face, saying, "I was very angry about the last time you took the baby out to scavenge."
You know accidents can happen anytime, anywhere in the wild. Taking a completely unprotected infant to such a place is utterly irresponsible towards their life!
Left Fan: I'm speechless!
If Xiaobai were to use this lecturing tone for something else, she would definitely argue back, even if it's rude, she would still try to justify herself!
But he was scolding her for the baby's safety, so she couldn't get angry at all; instead, she felt even warmer.
After all, Xiaobai and Achen were originally completely unrelated. The only reason why he, an outsider, cares about her child is because he values her as a friend.
Moreover, last time they did encounter a pack of wolves, and it almost led to disaster.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong! I definitely won't take the baby to the wild again next time. Anyway, the extreme cold weather is coming soon, and I plan to stay at home for the whole winter and live a peaceful life with the baby." Zuo Shan's attitude in admitting her mistake was extremely sincere.
Seeing her like this, Xiaobai swallowed back all the lectures he had prepared over the past few days. Admitting one's mistakes and correcting them is a good quality.
But it wouldn't be good to immediately switch from a serious face to a smiling one, so he turned his gaze to the dining table and continued, "Do you have outsiders at your house?"
"Huh? How did you know? But he's not exactly an outsider. I've been making some sausages to sell recently, and he came to pick them up." Zuo Shan said casually.
She didn't plan to keep this from Xiaobai. Once she had earned enough money, she would return the wild boar meat, the mutated crocodile, the crocodile eggs, and the reindeer milk—all of which were worth a total of value—to him.
She'll remember the favors she receives, but she'll always make sure the money is repaid.
