Chapter 1600: Chapter 1604 Obedient
Ye Xingbei shook her head with amusement and patted his little bottom: “Little lazy pig!”
“Yeah,” the little guy responded proudly instead of being ashamed, raising his small arm and saying crisply, “I’m a little lazy pig, and daddy is the big lazy pig!”
His voice was so clear and loud that people dining nearby turned to look at them. Ye Xingbei quickly covered his mouth and smiled apologetically at those who were looking.
The restaurant they were at was the most expensive buffet in Beijing, where ordinary people couldn’t afford to eat. Most customers were people with some assets, and they were quite well-mannered. They returned Ye Xingbei’s apologetic smile with a kind smile and then looked away.
Ye Xingbei pinched Xiao Shumiao’s cheek, scolding: “What did Mama say? No loud noises in public places. Forgot?”
Xiao Shumiao lowered his head, drooping: “Sorry, Mama. I was wrong. I felt so comfortable lying in Mama’s arms that I forgot we were in a public place.”
Gu Junzhu saw Xiao Shumiao looking dejected and felt compassion. He reached out to hold Xiao Shumiao in his arms, stood up, and started walking out: “Come on, baby, let’s go home. At home, you can shout as loud as you want.”
Ye Xingbei rolled her eyes, got up to follow, and said softly, “Mr. Gu, did you forget what you said last night? Spoiling a child is like harming a child! This isn’t love; you’re harming him.”
“Is it that serious? Our Xiao Shu is still young; isn’t forgetfulness completely normal? Besides, didn’t our Xiao Shumiao admit his mistake? Right, baby?” Fifth Lord of Gu held his soft, fragrant little son and lowered his head to give him a firm kiss, determined to shield his child to the end.
“Yeah, yeah!” Xiao Shumiao nodded his little head vigorously: “Xiao Shu admitted his mistake, Xiao Shu said I was wrong, Mama should say, ‘It’s okay, just don’t do it again next time.'”
“That’s right,” Gu Junzhu kissed him again: “Our Xiao Shumiao has a good attitude in admitting his mistakes; it’s Mama who is too strict and demanding too much!”
Ye Xingbei: “…”
Whatever happened to the strict father and kind mother?
So, all the good roles go to Mr. Gu, and she’s the bad cop here?
Ye Xingbei rolled her eyes again.
Once they were in the car, with the engine started, Xiao Shumiao lay in Gu Junzhu’s arms and quickly drifted off to sleep.
His eyes were almost closed, and he held Ye Xingbei’s hand, softly asking, “Mama, are you still mad?”
Ye Xingbei wasn’t really angry in the first place.
It’s not a major issue, and the child admitted his mistake quickly.
Now, hearing her dear son softly call “Mama,” any anger she had completely melted away.
She held Xiao Shumiao’s little hand to her lips and kissed it, “Mama’s not angry, sweetie. Sleep now.”
Xiao Shumiao smiled sweetly at her, closed his eyes, and fell asleep quickly.
Ye Xingbei watched him with a smile, her eyes tender and full of affection.
She used to hear many parents say their little angels become little devils when they wake up.
But she thought her Xiao Shumiao, whether asleep or awake, was a cute little angel!
Back at the Gu Family mansion, Ye Xingbei put the two kids to bed, watched them fall asleep, and then went with Gu Junzhu to Yun Jue’s laboratory.
In the laboratory, Yun Jue was engrossed in his work. On the table was a row of test tubes, each filled with different liquids colored blue or purple, looking extremely intricate, and inspiring admiration at a glance.
