Suddenly, Mo was four years old.
One day.
Mo Bao walked up to Su Nian with his short legs.
"Mom, where's my dad?"
Li Beichen, who was standing next to him, felt his heart tighten when he saw the little guy asking this question.
And Su Nian was obviously stumped by this question.
Su Nian cleared her throat and said to Mo Bao in a gentle voice, "Baby, your father has gone to a very far place..."
"Mom, I'm already four years old. I'm not a three-year-old anymore. Don't lie to me with the same words you would use to lie to a three-year-old."
Su Nian: ...
Then I saw the little Mo Bao snorted: "Did my father run away with another woman?"
Su Nian: “No”
Mo Bao: "Really?"
Su Nian nodded.
Mo Bao was silent for a moment: "Will I be able to see him again in this life?"
Su Nian obviously didn't know what to say, and was hesitating about what to say to lie to the child.
Mo Bao lowered his head and said: "All the kids in the kindergarten have fathers, but I don't have one. Mom, I want to have a father too."
Li Beichen's heart broke when he saw the little person like this.
But at this moment, Mo Bao suddenly changed the subject: "If I can't see my father in this life, can you and I get a new one?"
Li Beichen: ...
"Yes, get a new one, just like the toy car I lost before. I don't know where it is and I can't find it no matter how hard I look. So you buy me a new one, mom." Mo Bao hugged Su Nian's legs and acted coquettishly: "Mom, other children have fathers, and Mo Bao wants one too. It would be best if you could give me a few more fathers, so that I can be the one with the most fathers among all the children."
It would be best if I could have more fathers.
Li Beichen: ...
She was only four years old and she started asking for a dad, and she wanted more.
"Baby, daddy is not a toy. You can have a lot of them. You can buy the most expensive one."
This successfully made Mo Bao's young face show a puzzled expression: "Why? Why can't I get the most expensive one? Uncle Zhou Xu told me a few days ago that I can get the most expensive one for everything."
Su Nian thought this was a good opportunity to teach the child, so she immediately frowned and said, "Li Chenmo, you can't think like that. You can't ask for the most expensive thing. You can't just look at the price of something. You have to look at whether you need it or not. The price is not the most important thing for what you need."
"Then I want the best." Mobao hugged Su Nian: "I just think that mom, you are the best mother, so you should have the best father. Okay, mom, since you said so, I don't want the most expensive one. Mobao wants the same kind of father as you give me."
"One is fine, two is good, three is OK."
Su Nian could only say helplessly: "Dad, it's really not a toy."
"I know, and you forgot, mom, I haven't played with toys for a long time. Since you said daddy is not a toy, I can give it to Mobao now."
What else can Li Beichen do now? Of course he can only smile bitterly.
Well... I have to admit that his and Su Nian's child is a little smart.
It's just a bit too smart.
He felt that if he had taught Mobao well and accompanied him to grow up after he was born in this life, he would not have asked Su Nian for his father. (Mobao: Stop talking nonsense, make me quickly, quickly!!!)
