Chapter 699: Chapter 699: Xiaobao, the Expert at Annoying Mom
Xiaobao finally cracked a smile and planted a big kiss on her cheek, “Mommy, you’re so good!”
… This little guy was really easy to please.
“I was wrong these past few days, Mommy shouldn’t have neglected you,” she sighed, “will you forgive Mommy, please?”
“Mhm,” he nodded with a smile, “If Mommy has a little sister for me, I’ll forgive Mommy.”
Zhixi couldn’t help but chuckle and poked him on the forehead.
Pei Yuanchen tsk-tsked, “So, you finally don’t need me to help you with the child today?”
Zhixi gave him a glance, and with a slightly guilty “Mhm.”
“Good.” Pei Yuanchen stuffed a bun in his mouth and stood up heading towards me.
“Where are you going?” Zhixi couldn’t help but ask.
He had already reached the door and, hearing her, simply waved his hand and then he was gone.
Zhixi was speechless, she turned to Xiaobao and softly said, “Let’s have breakfast.”
Xiaobao hummed softly, his eyes squinting into crescents as he smiled.
After breakfast, Zhixi changed the little guy’s clothes and casually dressed herself up a bit. Follow current novᴇls on N0velFire.ɴet
After all, she had promised Xiaobao she would accompany him today, no backing out now.
Just as they were about ready, the doorbell rang.
“I’ll get it! I’ll get it!” Xiaobao volunteered, standing on tiptoes, he struggled to open the door, then dutifully stepped back two steps.
Upon seeing the figure at the door, he immediately cheered and lunged forward, “Daddy!”
He Jingyao scooped him up, first tousling his hair then pinching his cheek, his face warm with a tender smile, “Very energetic today, did you know Daddy was coming?”
Xiaobao hugged his neck, seeking praise, “Mommy told me, and she even promised to go with me!”
He Jingyao raised his eyebrows in surprise, his gaze falling behind Xiaobao.
Zhixi met his gaze, slightly embarrassed, she couldn’t help but explain, “Xiaobao wanted me to go with him.”
“I see,” he smiled lightly, “That’s good, we can all go together.”
“Daddy, I’ll tell you a secret…” Xiaobao suddenly leaned into He Jingyao’s ear, whispering secretively, “It was Mommy begging me to take her along, really, there was no other choice. Mommy must have wanted to see you, she looked so sad, I just had to agree.”
A hint of amusement showed in He Jingyao’s eyes, “Really?”
“Really,” Xiaobao’s tone was very firm, “Mommy also begged me to take her to the amusement park. Daddy, can we all go to the amusement park this afternoon, please?”
He Jingyao’s gaze softened, he softly said, “Of course. Mommy said she wants to go too?”
“Mhm,” he nodded, “Daddy, let Mommy come with us, okay?”
“Since you speak for her…” He Jingyao thought it over seriously, then nodded, “Alright then.”
“Yay!” He giggled, throwing himself into He Jingyao’s arms.
Zhixi hadn’t quite caught what the father and son were muttering about at first, but then she caught on and her face immediately flushed red.
“Xiaobao! What are you talking about?”
“Nothing!” he said loudly, laughing even harder.
Probably the thrill of getting away with mischief.
Zhixi bit her lip, meeting He Jingyao’s meaningful look, and had to explain again, “Really, it was Xiaobao’s request!”
