“Get reprimanded for my morals?”
In this lifetime, Helian Niancheng had never laughed because of his anger, but now through his son, he experienced it.
Secretary Lin brought in a new coat from outside as he tried to walk in with a serious and stern composure.
No one knew where this new coat for Helian Niancheng came from.
Helian Niancheng threw the dirtied coat to Secretary Lin before he walked to Gu Xiaobao.
Secretary Lin took the CEO’s coat and left the office with a slight trace of a smile.
Gu Xiaobao knew he made a mistake. When he saw Helian Niancheng walk over, his chubby legs ran towards the door.
But how could he run when his father could catch up with him within two steps. He picked the child by his collar.
“Aiya, Dad, let me go, or I will tell Mom!”
Helian Niancheng pulled Gu Xiaobao up by his collar and brought him closer to his chest before smacking his buttocks. “A naughty boy like your mother.”
“Mom is not naughty. You’re the one!”
Gu Xiaobao was his mom’s number one fan, so naturally, he would retort his father’s words.
Helian Niancheng had Gu Xiaobao in his embrace as he took out his cell phone to make a video call.
“Lance?”
The receiving side seemed to be more shocked by the call. It was Hilda.
But when she saw the struggling Gu Xiaobao in Helian Niancheng’s arms, she said, “Oh! Heaviside darling, what’s the matter?”
“Grandma, Dad hit me!”
Gu Xiaobao complained immediately. Dad hit his buttocks, and he wasn’t wrong about this!
“Talk. Continue speaking. Didn’t you want me to get reprimanded for my morals?”
Helian Niancheng’s lips curled up as he said that. Gu Xiaobao stopped struggling and instead looked at the video with a pout.
He was like a small pufferfish.
“Heaviside, you have to behave when you’re there. Be good, and don’t disturb your father.”
Hilda’s words extinguished Gu Xiaobao’s hopes.
Seeing the situation, Gu Xiaobao clenched his fists and fakely rubbed at his eyes. “Aiya, Grandma won’t dote on me, Dad doesn’t love me, and Mom isn’t here. No one loves Gu Xiaobao!”
Looking at the child’s tantrum, Hilda chuckled but ignored him. “Lance, take care of him in China. Has Qingjiu been busy?”
“I heard that she’s on a mission, but I don’t know the specifics either.”
These were the intricacies within China, not something a husband like him needed to know.
“Oh.”
Hilda did not probe further. She instead waved at Gu Xiaobao with cheer. “Heaviside, be good and listen to your father. Grandma still has things to do, so I will hang up first.”
“…”
Hilda hung up quickly, and Gu Xiaobao could only stare speechlessly at Helian Niancheng.
Helian Niancheng lowered his head to look at him. “Say, do you want to continue fighting? It’s evident now. Your Grandma’s not reliable. Your Dad doesn’t love you. Your Mom isn’t here. How about you find someone who loves you?”
Gu Xiaobao was speechless.
It felt like the entire world held ill intentions towards him.
His lips pinched together, wanting to cry but not being able to.
“Enough.”
Helian Niancheng stopped teasing him and put him down on the ground. “I’ll bring you good food after work.”
“What good food?”
Gu Xiaobao forgot about the unhappiness momentarily, smiling cheerfully at Helian Niancheng.
