At times, children that were too smart could really cause headaches. Shi Guang coughed gently before asking, “So, you don’t like that pretty auntie from before?”
Xiao Bai pouted his lips and looked elsewhere.
It was an answer that was clear as day.
Shi Guang was curious now. “Why not though? She was so pretty, and she kept insisting that you were good looking too.”
“I just don’t like her.”
“But, there must be a reason, right? For example, don’t you have a reason for liking me?”
“No reason.” Xiao Bai hugged Shi Guang. “I just like you.”
When Shi Guang first saw him, she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness. Indeed, there need not be a reason for liking someone, but she had no intention of letting Xiao Bai off. “When we first met, I could tell that you rather liked Auntie Qian Xun.”
“But she was really fierce to me!”
“Just because of that?”
“She asked me if Lu Yanzhi was my daddy fiercely! The way she looked at me was like those baddies in tv shows!” As Xiao Bai said that, he started sniffing while his eyes reddened. He then sniffled out, “She doesn’t like me so why should I like her!”
Shi Guang was stunned for a moment.
Qian Xun doesn’t like Xiao Bai?
She then recalled properly…
Even though Qian Xun did not have much of a negative reaction after finding out that Xiao Bai was Yanzhi’s son, her change in attitude from praising him to ignoring him was indeed quite a stark change from the beginning.
“That’s why you intentionally said that she beat you and wanted to sell you away?”
Xiao Bai lowered his head and murmured in agreement. “Mummy, I’m a bad kid. Do you not like me now?”
“How can that be! Naturally, I love our Xiao Bai the most.” Shi Guang picked him up and pecked him on the cheek. “Auntie is an actress. Even though she acted as baddies before in shows, she’s not really a bad person. Occasionally, she would act that way to play with kids. But it’s all just acting. Even though she may seem fierce on the outside, she actually likes you quite a bit on the inside.”
“But, she doesn’t like daddy.”
“But, you don’t like aunties who have a thing for your daddy too, right? Aren’t you worried that they might get married to your daddy? Now that there’s an auntie that doesn’t like your daddy here, you won’t have to worry about her being your stepmother!”
“But, she asked…” Xiao Bai mimicked Qian Xun’s tone, “Are you Lu Yanzhi’s son?”
He then scoffed coldly, “By the sounds of it, it seems as though she has a grudge with my daddy! I don’t want to like someone who has a grudge with daddy!”
Looking at the way he was, Shi Guang could not help but chuckle out and sigh helplessly. However, all children were really sensitive—they could naturally sense if someone had a liking toward them.
The reason why Qian Xun did not like Xiao Bai was because of Lu Yanzhi. If that were the case, was he the one she was referring to when she said that all men of the Lus were bad?
What sort of a past did Qian Xun and Yanzhi have?
Xiao Bai fell asleep along the way home, and when they reached the Lus’ place, Shi Guang did not wake him up as she carried him in straight.
When she saw them returning, Shen Lingshuang broke out into a smile. But, she was about to speak when she caught sight of the fast asleep Xiao Bai, and hence, spoke in hushed tones instead, “He’s asleep?”
“He just slept. Where’s his room?”
Shen Lingshuang hurriedly showed her the way. Just as Shi Guang was about to lay him down, Xiao Bai tugged at her hands and suddenly murmured, “Mummy.”
