The next day, Zhixi got out of bed and, as usual, went next door to check on her son, who was already awake and rolling around in bed.
"Time to get up, Grandpa Weiwu," she said with a smile as she picked up her son and headed for the bathroom.
Xiaobao wrapped his arms around her neck, staring at her for a while before suddenly saying, "Mommy, the dark circles under your eyes are so heavy, did you have a nightmare last night?"
At that thought, her cheeks suddenly flushed with color.
The little guy looked surprised; "Mommy, your face is red!"
"...Shut up!" she said, annoyed and embarrassed, handing him the toothbrush, "Brush your teeth properly, it must be for a full three minutes!"
"All you do is scold me..." he dragged out his words, putting on an air of not stooping to argue with her and stuffed the toothbrush into his mouth.
"Is Xiaobao awake?" A deep and lazy voice suddenly broke the silence.
"Uncle!" Hearing this voice, the little guy excitedly threw his toothbrush away and turned to rush toward the figure appearing in the doorway!
Pei Yuanchen scooped him up, weighing him, and nodded with satisfaction: "Good, you’ve gained quite a bit of weight."
"I’ve gotten taller too!" he said with his mouth still frothy, proudly stretching out his arms to show.
"Mhm, taller, definitely taller." Pei Yuanchen smiled, putting him back on the ground, "Go brush your teeth quickly, or your mom is going to spank you."
The little guy sneakily looked back to see Zhixi with her arms crossed, staring at him with an expressionless face.
He quickly scurried back, smiling ingratiatingly, "Mommy, I’m going to brush my teeth now."
After picking up the toothbrush and rinsing it off, he seriously reapplied toothpaste and then put it back in his mouth.
Zhixi’s face finally looked a bit better, and she walked over to Pei Yuanchen with a smile: "How did you get here?"
The man was dressed in a simple black shirt and pants, with a dashing and sharp demeanor. His face bore undoubtedly Eastern handsome features, but his pupils were gray-blue, exuding an unspeakable, bewitching sexiness.
"Had some things to discuss with godfather, and thought I’d drop by to see you guys," Pei Yuanchen replied with a lazy smile, "So, have you seen Xiaobao’s dad yet?"
Zhixi nodded with a complicated expression.
"That fast? Didn’t you just arrive the day before yesterday?" Pei Yuanchen raised an eyebrow.
"Yesterday... he happened to find me," Zhixi said with a tone of annoyance and a hint of something indescribable.
"Yo, so with such fiery fire between you two, you didn’t hook up again?" Pei Yuanchen laughed mockingly, "Do you need your big brother to help you out?"
