Xu Yanfeng's face was expressionless, and both children could tell that he was trying hard to hold on.
After standing still for a few seconds, Xu Yanfeng found Xia Xi's number and dialed it.
Ziheng put on the same indifferent expression as him and asked him, "What are you going to do?"
Xu Yanfeng lowered his eyes, glanced at the brat who was causing him trouble, and said word by word: "Call your mother."
"Don't call her." Ziheng was actually a little afraid of the man's majesty, but for his mother, he bravely took a few steps forward, stood on tiptoe, and grabbed his arms with both hands to stop him from making the call.
"Give me a reason." Xu Yanfeng's eyes were cold. He was angry and couldn't play the role of a kind father.
"My mother is looking for a stepfather for me, don't bother her." Ziheng said confidently, "She has worked hard on her own for so many years, it's time to find someone to take care of her. I am very optimistic about Uncle Lu."
Xu Yanfeng: “?”
It felt like someone had stabbed my lungs, and it was chilling.
Xu Yanfeng gritted his teeth and decided not to indulge this brat. He raised his voice and said, "Having me as your biological father is not enough. Why do you need a stepfather?"
"Is there a rule that says a person can't have two fathers? I still have Father Zhou." Ziheng blinked innocently, "It's also nice to have Father Zhou as my stepfather."
All men are good, but he, the biological father, is not good, right? Xu Yanfeng was so angry that his teeth ached. He bent down and gently pinched the brat's face: "Do you think your stepfather is good? You are not his biological child, why should he be so open and honest with you?"
Ziheng lectured him, "You're narrow-minded. Both Uncle Lu and Father Zhou are very kind to Youyou and me." He looked at Youyou, "Right?"
Youyou didn't really listen to what they were arguing about, but everything her brother said was right, so she nodded.
"I..." Xu Yanfeng pointed at himself and laughed in anger, "I... am narrow-minded?"
Ziheng nodded, looking serious.
Xu Yanfeng really wanted to beat him up. Where did he learn these words?
He waved his hand and told the two children to go play somewhere else. He just wanted to call Xia Xi and ask her what was going on.
Ziheng stared at him intently. Seeing that his call went unanswered, he shook his head, sighed, and added, "I told you not to call, but you didn't. Maybe my mom and Uncle Lu are having a candlelight dinner, and you're ruining the atmosphere by calling."
Xu Yanfeng glared at him.
Ziheng spread his hands and said, "I'm telling the truth. There's nothing I can do if you don't like it."
Xu Yanfeng walked away to avoid this bad boy who was always trying to hurt him.
Other people’s children are like warm and cozy little girls, but his child’s T-shirt has holes in it and is leaking air everywhere.
Xu Yanfeng sent a WeChat message to Xia Xi instead: "Why didn't you answer my call?"
Xia Xi didn't answer the phone, but replied with a message: "It's not convenient."
Xu Yanfeng: "What are you busy with?"
Xia Xi: "Is there something wrong?"
Xu Yanfeng paused for two seconds. Although he couldn't see Xia Xi's expression at the moment, he could tell from the four words she sent that she was impatient. "Is there something wrong with you?" here was equivalent to "Are you sick?"
Xu Yanfeng's anger rose, and he accused her: "Why didn't you tell me you weren't coming back? Are you polite?"
Xia Xi thought he was a strange person and sent him a screenshot.
It was the WeChat message she had sent him before, which clearly stated - I have something to do in the evening, you go pick up the child.
Xia Xi: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that I have something to do tonight? Did you lose your memory?"
Xu Yanfeng stared at the screenshot for a while, refusing to admit he was in the wrong. "Don't you know your words are ambiguous? Anyone reading this would think you're too busy to pick up the kids. You didn't say you wouldn't be home for dinner. Is typing a few words that hard?"
Xia Xi suspected that he was looking for trouble and was starting to make things difficult for her now, right? It didn't matter. She really owed him something, so she wouldn't hold it against him. She immediately reported to him, "Okay, it's my fault. I won't be back for dinner tonight. Is that okay now?"
Xu Yanfeng: “?”
Xia Xi looked at the question mark he sent and replied patiently: "Any other questions?"
Xu Yanfeng: "Aren't you worried about the child at all?"
Xia Xi: "What are you worried about? Will you abuse him? You won't. He has enough food to eat and clothes to wear, and he has his own favorite entertainment activities. He is more independent than most children of his age. I am relieved."
Xu Yanfeng couldn't find words to stop her, so he started to talk nonsense: "Aren't you worried that I might have problems getting along with him?"
Xia Xi: "You two already have problems getting along. Isn't this just giving you some space to develop your relationship? When I'm around, he's obviously more dependent on me, which is not conducive to your father-son interaction."
It was a far-fetched argument, but the key point was that he had no way to refute it.
Xia Xi pressed the issue: "Just tell me, did he communicate with you today when I was away?"
Xu Yanfeng was speechless. Compared to yesterday when he ignored him, today the brat actually paid attention to him and even took the initiative to talk to him. But the problem was that none of the words he said were what he liked to hear.
Xu Yanfeng threw down his phone.
Before the call, his expression was indifferent, but after the call, it turned cold.
Ziheng knew at a glance that he had been humiliated by his mother. He licked his lips and didn't attack him again. He even said something to ease the atmosphere: "Let's eat. Youyou is hungry."
Xu Yanfeng glanced at him. The brat had produced a Rubik's Cube from somewhere and was twisting it between his two little hands.
Calling the nanny, Xu Yanfeng instructed her to serve dinner as soon as possible.
*
In the western restaurant, Xia Xi sent the message and put the phone down beside her.
Suddenly, her eyes flashed. A plate of sliced steak replaced the untouched one in front of her. She looked across at Lu Mingji, who was smiling at her in the candlelight, his eyes gentle. "Chatting with Xu Yanfeng?"
