Chapter 1078 Disliked, Mr. Shang Goes to Beauty Salon Overnight
"Mommy~"
Seeing Pei Jinwu smile in the video, the little guy shouted even more enthusiastically.
One sound after another.
Pei Jinwu felt an overwhelming surge of emotion.
Before Mingming left, the little guy couldn't even call out to people.
Such rapid progress?
Pei Jinwu shifted her gaze back and asked softly, "What did Dad use to bribe you?"
"Rice cakes?"
This is the little koi's favorite snack.
"..."
Upon hearing the word "rice cake," Shang Jinli's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at his father.
"You could guess that?"
Shang Shiyan was very satisfied with his son's performance. He looked deeply at his wife, a smile curving his lips: "The baby's first words were 'Mama,' are you happy?"
"Um."
Pei Jinwu's eyes were filled with tears, and she moved her red lips to call out to Shang Jinli: "Little radish head, look at your mother."
"Hmm~"
Shang Jinli's attention was drawn to her, and she waved her little hand at her mother.
"Learn from Mom, call me Dad." Pei Jinwu slowly moved her lips: "Dad... Dad..."
"..."
Shang Shiyan watched his wife's performance with eyes full of doting affection.
This kid needs food, you have to coax and trick him into talking.
Who would have thought that the next second would be like this—
Shang Jinli opened his lips and uttered a muffled sound: "Dad... Dad..."
"?"
Shang Shiyan's smile froze on his face as he stared at Shang Jinli in disbelief.
"What did you just shout? Say it again."
Shang Jinli turned to Shang Shiyan and said earnestly, "Dad!"
"!"
Shang Shiyan was dumbfounded!
He went to such great lengths, using both coaxing and bribing with rice cakes.
After teaching her until her saliva was dry, Shang Jinli finally learned to call her "Mom".
He learned it after only one lesson from Wuwu?
That makes me look useless!
"I was just trying it out, who knew he'd be so cooperative!"
Pei Jinwu raised an eyebrow and smiled smugly: "Good baby, Mommy will buy you candy when we get back."
"Mommy~"
Shang Jinli called her name excitedly again, a sound that warmed everyone's hearts.
"Okay, Mom has to go now." Shang Shiyan held his little hand. "Be careful."
"Bye-Bye."
Pei Jinwu waved to the father and son, hung up the video call, and walked out.
——
The capital city.
On the sofa in the villa.
After the video call ended, the father and son stared at each other blankly.
"Daddy~"
As Shang Jinli watched, he suddenly grabbed Shang Shiyan's hand.
"Oh."
Shang Shiyan originally wanted to question the boy about whether he knew how to call someone "Dad" all along and was just pretending not to understand.
But once you hear that "Dad," the rest of the questions become irrelevant.
"Um."
Shang Shiyan ruffled his hair and said softly, "Daddy will take you to take a bath, okay?"
"Um."
Shang Jinli nodded and nestled obediently in her father's arms.
After taking a shower.
Shang Jinli tossed and turned in bed, but soon fell asleep.
Shang Shiyan tucked him in, then suddenly heard him mutter in his sleep, "Mama~"
She even knows to call for her mother in her dreams; the rice cakes she ate weren't for nothing.
"Good boy/girl."
Shang Shiyan kissed his cheek and praised him in a hoarse voice.
——
The time that follows.
Shang Shiyan takes care of her child while working for the conglomerate.
Within just one week, the entire conglomerate knew Shang Jinli.
Some people even secretly sent him gifts.
Because of the little guy's arrival, the CEO's office is no longer a den of iniquity that subordinates "dare not enter," and everyone is eager to go in and deliver documents.
Then, taking the opportunity, he touched Shang Jinli's little face.
"President, there's one more document," the woman said respectfully.
Shang Shiyan glanced at the time and frowned: "Come in again in half an hour."
"OK."
The girl understood the reason, every day at noon.
The CEO would video chat with his wife, along with his young master.
“We’ll be heading deep into the rainforest tomorrow morning…” Pei Jinwu sat cross-legged on the sofa, watching the little guy eating rice cakes in the video, and smiled: “Shang Jinli, you won’t see your mom for a week.”
"..."
Shang Jinli paused in his chewing motion, unsure if he had understood.
But the rice cake in my hand didn't smell as good anymore.
Shang Shiyan also looked grim.
"How many people went? Were rescue personnel brought?"
“All of this was prepared in advance.” Pei Jinwu looked at his slightly tired face: “Didn’t you get enough rest? You look terrible!”
He's been busy with work and taking care of his child lately, and he's also been having trouble sleeping at night because his wife isn't home.
No wonder she looks pale.
"Just send Shang Jinli to the old house, and you can get yourself ready."
Pei Jinwu suggested.
"Need not."
Shang Shiyan shook his head and said in a muffled voice, "With Shang Jinli here, I can still look at his face to ease my longing when I miss you."
He is somewhat like Wuwu, which is his good fortune.
"Get some rest." Pei Jinwu's tone turned serious: "Shang Shiyan, you know I'm someone who judges by appearances."
"First of all, I wouldn't want an ugly husband."
"Secondly... there's no second, my face comes first."
Okay, see you next week.
After giving the reminder, I hung up the video call and left.
Shang Shiyan sat there for a long time, his face etched with an unyielding gloom.
Wang Ma glanced at him furtively, not daring to disturb him.
Shang Jinli sensed the oppressive atmosphere emanating from his father and ate the rice cake in small bites.
Soon after—
Shang Shiyan stood up and handed Shang Jinli to Wang Ma.
I'm going out for a bit.
"Sir, where are you going? Will you be back for dinner tonight?"
Wang Ma hugged the little guy tightly.
strangeness.
During the time his wife was away, the young master and young son stayed together every step of the way.
My emotions changed drastically after finishing the video.
Later, Wang Ma found out.
Because his wife complained about his pale complexion, the husband went to a beauty salon that very night.
——
Africa.
Deep in the rainforest.
It had just rained heavily, the weather was unbearably hot, and the ground was muddy and difficult to walk on.
Pei Jinwu walked steadily at the front. When she turned around, she found that her entourage was already drenched in sweat and panting heavily.
Including... the tall and strong members of the rescue team.
"Miss Pei, can't we walk a little slower?"
The speaker was Ning Du, the second youngest person on this trip.
Similarly, before setting off, he solemnly promised Shang Shiyan that he would take care of Pei Jinwu.
The others also looked at Pei Jinwu, who was so exhausted that she didn't even have the strength to hang herself.
"no!"
Pei Jinwu, wearing a sun-protective shirt and adjusting his hat, said with a serious expression, "Wild animals roam this area. If we can't reach the canyon before dark, we'll become their meal."
"That's so exaggerated?" Ning looked around and saw that it was quiet, not like there were any monsters around.
"You can try it if you don't believe me."
Pei Jinwu patiently said in a low voice, "It's only the third day. We still have two more days before we reach our destination."
"Those who can't endure hardship can turn back now."
"If you don't want to go back, then follow in my footsteps."
After enduring so many hardships, success is just around the corner.
Wouldn't it be a shame to turn back halfway?
No matter how tired I am, I have to complete the task.
Thinking about this...
Several professors sighed and followed Pei Jinwu.
"The wild animals in this area have never tasted human flesh..."
Seeing that Ningdu was standing still, Pei Jinwu deliberately said.
"Wait for me, wait for me!"
Ningdu was so frightened that his scalp tingled, and he stumbled and ran towards Pei Jinwu.
The environment is terrifying.
Pei Shen is even more fucking terrifying.
——
Good night.
