Chapter 707: Chapter 707: Becoming More and More Narcissistic
After lunch, Xiaobao was too excited to even take his nap, clamoring to go to the amusement park.
Liu Minjun was reluctant to let him go, “Xiaobao, it’s so cold outside now, what if you get frozen at the amusement park?”
“But I really want to go,” Xiaobao said with a grievance, blinking back a couple of tears, “I’ve never been to an amusement park before.”
As soon as she heard that, Liu Minjun’s heart melted with pity. Unable to blame Zhixi, she turned her displeased gaze to He Jingyao, “Xiaobao has been back for so long, and you can’t even satisfy this simple wish of his to go to an amusement park?”
Zhixi guiltily said, “It’s all my fault…”
He Jingyao pinched her hand, signaling her not to hurry with apologies, and then looked at his son with a half-smile.
Xiaobao quickly tugged at Liu Minjun’s hand, speaking softly, “Grandma, it’s not dad’s fault, nor mom’s fault. Actually, I don’t really want to go to the amusement park that much, but I want dad and mom to go with me.”
Liu Minjun immediately responded with tenderness, “Okay, grandma will prepare some snacks for you right now, and have your dad and mom go with you, be good!”
Xiaobao immediately beamed with joy, reaching out for Liu Minjun to pick him up, “Grandma, you’re so nice, next time I’ll go with you.”
“Oh!” Liu Minjun was delightfully surprised and said yes before cradling him in her arms, “Whenever you want to go, grandma is free.”
He Ziyi thought for a moment and looked at He Jingyao, “Bro, can I join? I’ve been in Yangdong City for two days and haven’t gone out yet.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than Liu Minjun slapped her hard and glared at her, “It’s a family outing for your brother’s family of three, why are you tagging along for the excitement?”
He Ziyi touched the spot where Liu Minjun hit her, bewildered, “Can’t I just follow behind and carry bags…”
“No, stay home, I’ll go out with you tomorrow,” Liu Minjun said sternly.
He Ziyi reluctantly nodded. Honestly, ever since her little nephew showed up, her standing in her mother’s heart had plummeted.
“Auntie, let’s go together next time, I want to play with auntie too,” Xiaobao said with a cheery smile toward He Ziyi.
He Ziyi instantly let go of her slight disappointment and happily pinched his little cheek, “Okay.”
Zhixi watched as her little boy schmoozed everyone, keeping them all happy, and was simply amazed. Follow current novels on novel✦fire.net
Suddenly, He Jingyao leaned in and whispered in her ear with a low chuckle, “Whose gift for winning people’s affection did he inherit, I wonder?”
Zhixi’s lips curved up, not hesitating to answer, “Of course, he got it from me!”
He Jingyao gave her an amused look. He suddenly realized this woman was also becoming self-absorbed.
Annoyed by his stare, Zhixi lowered her voice and argued, “Isn’t it true?”
“Hmm, it is.” He replied lightly, his tone bearing a hint of amusement.
“I don’t want to charm anyone else anyway.” Zhixi pushed her hand further into his palm, her voice teasing, “Your affection for me is enough.”
He Jingyao looked down at her smiling, radiant face, his eyes darkening for a moment.
He was about to take action when he heard Liu Minjun cough and say, “It’s getting late, since you’ve promised Xiaobao, you better get going.”
Liu Minjun took a full ten minutes to say goodbye to Xiaobao and see him into the car before reluctantly closing the door.
Turning around, she saw the couple nestled together and couldn’t help but cough.
