Mrs. Rong and Mr. Rong's marriage was initially a business arrangement. They had met several times before the wedding, and both of them were influential figures in the business world.
Before deciding to have children, they were like a couple with only a marriage certificate proving they were husband and wife.
However, the two were extremely loyal to their marriage. Before marriage, they disliked having too much contact with the opposite sex, and after marriage, they avoided it even more. Later, they decided to have children. As they spent more time together, they suddenly realized that the other person was exactly the other they wanted, their ideal type, so their relationship grew stronger and stronger.
Perhaps they sometimes don't understand why such a strong couple has such a timid child.
…
They had just finished breakfast when a servant announced that Mr. and Mrs. Rong had arrived.
The moment Mr. Rong saw his child, he understood his wife's state of mind. The child, too, hid behind Wan Ge when he saw him, as if he were a terrifying figure.
It seems his wife was right; their actions may have genuinely frightened him, and they may have assumed he had accepted it.
"Is Xiaoqi happy at her sister's house? Do you want to come home with Dad?" Mr. Rong's voice was also soft; in fact, he always spoke to his child in this manner.
"No...don't go back..." Rong Qi shook his head desperately, and hid himself away in fear, not even daring to peek.
"Uncle Rong, don't worry, Xiao Qi is very happy. You're going to work now, right? You go ahead, I'll stay with Xiao Qi." Seeing that they were all dressed in formal attire, they must be going to the company.
"Wange is so smart. Uncle really has to go to the company. Since that's the case, Xiaoqi is being taken care of by you. You have to protect him, okay?" Faced with the child's reluctance to go home, Mr. Rong had no choice but to leave it at that for the time being.
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect Xiao Qi." I will definitely protect everyone who is with him, and no one can hurt him, including you.
"Wange is wonderful." After saying this, Mr. Rong seemed to remember something, so he added to his son, "Xiao Qi, you must also try your best to protect your sister, because Xiao Qi is a man."
Rong Qi didn't understand what his father meant, and his hands remained tightly gripping Wan Ge's clothes. It wasn't Wan Ge who needed his protection; it was he who needed Wan Ge's protection.
…
The couple didn't stay long; seeing that the child didn't want to talk to them, they went to work.
Around noon, several people arrived at the Xi family's residence carrying a pile of valuable items.
It was prepared by Mr. and Mrs. Rong, as a way of thanking them for taking in Rong Qi and for helping to take care of him.
Looking at the gifts they had prepared, Mrs. Xi could tell that the couple cared deeply for this child. After all, they were both only children themselves, and now they only had this one child; how could they not cherish him?
But she still couldn't understand why someone who cared so much about and cherished this child would scold him.
…
In the afternoon, Madam Xi was painting in the garden with her two children. Just as she turned around to get the paints, she saw Rong Qi with red eyes and tears streaming down his face.
His daughter was comforting him, gently coaxing him.
After asking around, it was discovered that Rong Qi had been frightened by a bug in the flowerbed and burst into tears.
She knew the child was timid, but she didn't know he was this timid. Looking at the butterfly larva, Mrs. Xi immediately opened her phone and searched for what the larva would look like in the future.
