"Um, no!" He answered truthfully.
"Then, when will you have children in the future?" Lu Sinian slightly turned his face away, "I’m not saying this because I’m afraid you won’t like me after you have a child. I was just tricking Grandpa. Anyway, you never liked me!"
His face turned bright red, and although he turned away to face elsewhere, he occasionally glanced at Lu Beichen’s reaction, looking extremely cautious.
If Ji Niandong hadn’t pointed it out, he really wouldn’t have noticed that his son was so sensitive and cautious!
Kids are indeed still kids. It seems that he has been treating him too much like an adult all along!
Lu Beichen reached out and pulled him into his arms, holding his small face solemnly and said, "It doesn’t matter if you were tricking your Grandpa, but Dad still needs to make it clear to you that there are no parents in the world who don’t love their own children! You are the son that I, Lu Beichen, raised with my own hands! The only one I’ve served! And you will be my only son, understand?"
The only son?! So, he really won’t have a child with Sister Tongtong?!
He said it so seriously and even followed with a question that made Lu Sinian embarrassed. He wanted to evade his grip, but Lu Beichen firmly turned his face towards him.
Lu Sinian felt extremely awkward, frowning, he replied, "Got it! Can you let me go now?"
"Are you sure you got it?" Lu Beichen emphasized once more.
"Um... no!" Suddenly, he stopped struggling, lifting his small face and letting Lu Beichen hold it, he stared into his eyes and asked, "Grandpa also said that no parent doesn’t like their child, so my mom likes me too, right?"
Lu Beichen nodded without hesitation, like he was contemplating, "She... loves you the most! She’s more anxious about you than anyone else!"
"Then why didn’t she want me? Was it really you who drove her away?" he asked sadly, tears glistening in his eyes.
For the first time, talking so seriously with his son, patiently noticing everything, he realized this kid indeed invokes a lot of empathy, "Your mom didn’t not want you, and I didn’t drive her away!"
"Then why did she..."
"I told you, that’s not your mom!" Lu Beichen interrupted him, releasing his face and lifting him into the bathtub.
He kicked his small legs and stood up in a flash, causing water to splash all over Lu Beichen, "Every time you just trick me , but the whole world knows that she is my mom!"
Lu Beichen stood up and wiped the water off himself, his patience clearly not as good as before, "The whole world isn’t me! I just praised you a moment ago, and now you’re throwing a child’s tantrum again? Lu Sinian, adults have adult things to do. When she finishes those things, she will naturally come to find you. She gave birth to you; she could abandon me, but how could she abandon you?"
"You didn’t want her and let her marry another man!" Lu Sinian retorted, tears streaming down his face, "You silently married Sister Tongtong because you don’t want her, yet you claim she didn’t want you!"
"Don’t you like your Sister Tongtong?" Lu Beichen asked helplessly.
"Sister Tongtong is Sister Tongtong, and Mom is Mom!" He made a clear distinction.
Lu Beichen stroked his head and pushed him to sit down, preparing to bathe him, "Since I married your Sister Tongtong, she is your mom!"
Seeing Lu Beichen still looking so at ease, completely disregarding his feelings, Lu Sinian pushed his hand away and said, "I have a mom, and I only want her as my mom!"
"I’ve already told you, that’s not your mom!" Lu Beichen emphasized again.
"Alright, you say she’s not my mom, then who is my mom?!" Little Bun asked with a sobbing tone.
