"Why are you crying? I’ve been taking such good care of you and yet you are still crying. No more crying," Su Yinhe said, slightly annoyed as she patted his head.
"Wuu wuu wuu... I can’t help it, I’m going to cry," Lin Murong rebelled.
"Alright alright, then go ahead and cry, cry a bit longer, I love watching," she said, since he really wanted to cry, she had no choice but to reluctantly watch.
You see, is that even something one should say?
"Then I won’t cry," Lin Murong rebelled again.
He just had to go against Su Yinhe.
Su Yinhe twitched the corner of her mouth.
"Suit yourself." After all, it didn’t really matter to her.
"Ying ying ying, you don’t care anymore, huh?" Lin Murong emoted.
But he was wrapped up like a mummy, and it was quite funny when he was emotive.
"Alright, alright, Mummy Prince, you should rest now. Heal up. I’m busy. Stop your howling," said Su Yinhe, her patience thinning to its limits.
Lin Murong watched her in disbelief.
"You, you, you... Is that it? Hey! Come back. You wrap me up and then just leave? No way!"
Su Yinhe left decisively, without a hint of reluctance, and although Lin Murong wanted to stop her, he was really just wrapped up like a mummy.
He couldn’t even stretch out his hands.
He could only watch powerlessly as she walked further and further away.
Well, he really emoted then.
But Su Yinhe was a cold and heartless woman, at least for now.
She could be soft-hearted, but only towards cute kids.
From today onwards, Lin Murong gained a new nickname—"Mummy Prince."
His bandages were removed, but the pictures of him wrapped up like a mummy had already been taken by Fangfang.
They were brought out to look at often.
During those times, they would teasingly call him "Mummy Prince."
Alright, alright, if this was how it was going to be.
"It’s you guys who forced me," Lin Murong decided to...
"Force your head. Don’t talk. You’re disturbing my TV watching," Su Yinhe said as she was hooked on a critical moment in her drama, while Lin Murong was making a fuss beside her.
"Wuu wuu wuu... You hit me. My bandages were just removed and my wounds haven’t healed yet. How could you treat me ." Lin Murong’s heart was really hurt.
Ever since she met Lin Murong, it was like taking care of a child.
She became a mother effortlessly.
Su Yinhe, face in her hand and looking helpless, said, "Okay, okay, stop howling. I... wait a second, let me find you some toys."
After looking around, Su Yinhe found him a set of building blocks.
"There, go play over there," Su Yinhe said, sounding so much like she was coaxing a child.
It took a moment for Lin Murong to realize what had just happened, but after receiving the blocks, he was actually quite happy and went to play with them. Then while playing, he suddenly realized something seemed off.
"Yinhe, did you just... treat me like a little kid?" Lin Murong wasn’t too happy.
The way Yinhe had just cajoled him was exactly the same as how she coaxed those little brats before! Exactly the same!
"I didn’t. You heard wrong," Su Yinhe firmly denied.
"I don’t believe it," Lin Murong turned his head away.
"Oh," Lin Murong, seeing her starting to get angry, scurried away dejectedly.
Once Lin Murong had left, Su Yinhe could finally relax and continue watching her drama.
Lin Murong really was too disruptive.
He talked beside her, greatly disrupting her drama watching.
Just now, she was preoccupied with placating Lin Murong and couldn’t remember anything she watched.
She had to rewatch it.
It really was like, raising Lin Murong was like raising a kid.
Better not to have kids in the future.
Kids are cuter when they belong to others.
Her own just wouldn’t be cute.
Better to watch other people raise them.
Other people’s child, Xu Zhaixiao, had already started doing business.
He was originally helping his mother clean the streets.
But, as he looked at his snacks, he suddenly thought of a better way to earn Crystal Cores.
He started selling snacks.
Selling the snacks Su Yinhe gave him.
He sold them a bit cheaper than the supermarket.
People always like to feel they’re getting a deal.
Xu Zhaixiao’s snacks, sourced from the supermarket yet cheaper, albeit not much, were still a bargain.
So, quite a few people bought them.
Xu Zhaixiao’s snacks sold out quickly.
Tao Tao was puzzled by this.
"Didn’t you say you were going to save the snacks to eat? Why did you sell them?" Tao Tao didn’t mind how he dealt with the snacks since they were his.
But she saw and was a bit curious.
"Mom, look, I made a lot of Crystal Cores by selling snacks. We can buy a lot of staple food now." Xu Zhaixiao looked at the Crystal Cores he’d received, very happy.
Snacks are great, but staple foods are the best.
Hearing this, Tao Tao was stunned.
She’d thought a lot when she saw it, but hadn’t expected this reason.
"Zhaitao... you... how can you be so sensible?"
Tao Tao stroked his head.
Her son was too sensible.
She really felt... both happy and heartbroken.
"Mom, it’s okay. We’ll have more snacks later, let’s buy staples now."
"Okay, I’ll listen to you." Her son had grown up, had his own ideas.
Tao Tao was quite happy.
It really is true, selling snacks had earned a lot of Crystal Cores.
When they went to the supermarket to buy food again, it took all day.
"Wow. You collected so many Crystal Cores today." Su Yinhe saw and was a bit surprised.
"This... actually... was from selling the snacks you gave, boss. I’m really sorry." Tao Tao, seeing Su Yinhe, suddenly remembered they had directly sold the snacks the boss had gifted, which might make the boss unhappy.
"Ah, it’s okay. No worries. It’s good that you sold them, you can buy more rice and flour. Snacks are just for flavor. I understand, I’m not upset."
"Thank you, boss. You really are... a very good boss." How lucky they were to meet such a wonderful boss.
"Ah. Stop flattering me, you’re making me blush." Su Yinhe wasn’t one to be easily embarrassed, but under their fervent gaze, she felt a bit shy.
"Thank you, sister, you’re the most beautiful." Xu Zhaixiao remained sweet.
"Alright, alright, you’re very cute too." Indeed, other people’s children are the cutest.
She just loved other people’s kids.
"Sister is cute, both cute and beautiful."
Su Yinhe held her chest, ah, at such a young age, so sweet with his words.
Su Yinhe, happy, gave them some more snacks as they left.
"Feel free to sell them, sell a lot."
