Lu Sinian suddenly stood up from the bathtub, almost losing his balance and nearly falling, but Lu Beichen quickly rushed over to catch him.
He gave him a hand, and Lu Sinian just pouted without saying anything.
Lu Beichen sat beside him and picked up the bath sponge to wash him, "Adults like smart and sensible kids. You’re smart but not sensible at all. If your Sister Tongtong knew you were this disobedient, would she still like you?"
"It’s all your fault I’m disobedient! Who asked for a father to give birth to me without a mother to teach me!"
"Why is your stubborn temper just like your mom’s?!" Lu Beichen couldn’t help but say.
Lu Sinian was even more annoyed, "Don’t pretend to be familiar with my mom. You sent her away and let her get engaged to another man. You’re the Great Demon!"
"I’ve said countless times, she’s not your mom!" Lu Beichen still spoke gently.
"You don’t consider her your wife, but she’s my mom!" Lu Sinian stubbornly insisted.
Lu Beichen helplessly nodded, "Alright, alright, whatever you say!"
He finished bathing him, then picked him up, placing him to stand by the side of the bathtub. He wrapped him tightly with a towel, dried him off, and then picked up a hairdryer to dry his hair.
"I’ve only ever served you in my whole life, yet you always treat me like an enemy, without any gratitude!" Lu Beichen said calmly.
The noise of the hairdryer was loud, and Lu Sinian shouted back, "If you hadn’t sent my mom away or moved out from Grandpa’s house, you wouldn’t need to serve me yourself!"
"You always think you’re right, I don’t even know whom you take after!" Lu Beichen was helpless.
"I definitely take after you with that bad temper!" He turned his head, pouting his little mouth.
Lu Beichen smoothed his hair, "So you do know that I’m your father, that you’ll take after me?"
"I know you’re really married to Sister Tongtong, and I’m going to win her back!" He said this and then closed his eyes, not speaking further, allowing Lu Beichen to continue drying his hair.
Lu Beichen’s hand was gentle and soft, massaging his scalp bit by bit, and before long, he yawned.
"Alright! I see you’re sleepy too, so go to bed early!" He lifted him up and turned to place him on the big bed in the room, "Sleep early, don’t secretly play with your phone, or I’ll confiscate it and won’t give it back!"
"Don’t worry, I’m afraid of getting nearsighted too!" He burrowed under the covers, only leaving a little bit of hair exposed.
Lu Beichen helplessly went over and pulled the blanket down a bit, "Dad also said, when you sleep, you need to show your face, or you won’t breathe properly!"
He kept his eyes closed, not speaking, his long lashes trembling slightly, his lips also pouting.
Lu Beichen shook his head, turned off the light for him, and then stepped out.
He turned and headed to Ji Niandong’s room, where she had just finished showering, with her hair wrapped in a dry towel, wearing a bathrobe as she walked out.
Seeing him come in, she instinctively stepped back a bit in surprise, "Little Uncle? Didn’t you say, rest early?"
Lu Beichen slowly walked toward her, "Today’s Mrs. Lu is a bit different, hit me, and glared at me with her eyes?"
He stretched out his hand to pull her into his embrace, and she leaned against the wall, maintaining a wall-slam posture. Ji Niandong realized that she had indeed done those things to him today, feeling terribly embarrassed, "I didn’t do it on purpose, just afraid you’d be harsh to Nian Nian!"
"So you were harsh to me?" His voice carried a hint of grievance, "Since you’ve been harsh to me, naturally you’ll need to make up for it. How about we continue what was left unfinished just now?"
