Xiao Jiu thought for a while, then neatly put on his clothes. He wore a small black t-shirt and gray halon trousers. It took him less than a minute to put them on.
He pushed open the bathroom door, ran out of the bedroom with his two short legs, and came to the door of the master bedroom.
He clenched his small hands into fists and knocked on the door.
The door opened. Xiao Jiu saw that it was his father and asked very politely, “Dad, where’s Mom? I have something to say to Mom.”
“What time is it now? If you have something to say, we can talk about it tomorrow.” Fu Tingyu glanced at his son and found that he was still wearing the same clothes as before. “Why haven’t you showered?”
Xiao Jiu explained, “I came to look for Mom, so I haven’t showered.”
Fu Tingyu said, “Shower and sleep. You have to go to kindergarten tomorrow.”
Xiao Jiu lowered his eyes and turned around to go back to the bedroom. He suddenly stopped and turned to look at Fu Tingyu. “Dad, can I not go to kindergarten?”
Fu Tingyu raised his eyebrows. “If you don’t go to kindergarten, do you want to fly?”
Xiao Jiu looked up at the ceiling of the corridor above him. It was very white. He said very seriously, “One day when I’m as powerful as Grandmaster, I might be able to do it.”
Fu Tingyu was speechless. “Stop talking nonsense. Go to sleep quickly.”
“How can I not listen to Father’s words?”
After saying that, Xiao Jiu turned around and ran into his bedroom quickly. He was afraid that his father would want to lecture him again.
Fu Tingyu pinched the space between his eyebrows with a headache. When he was young, he was not as naughty as Xiao Jiu and liked to talk nonsense.
His personality was like… Babe?
After chasing his son away, Fu Tingyu closed the door. He saw his girl walk out of the bathroom. She was wearing a silk nightgown. The belt was a little loose, causing the lapels of the gown to open much wider. One could see the deep-set collarbone.
His eyes darkened a little.
Then, he licked his lips.
“Who came just now?” Qin Shu walked over and asked him as she dried her hair.
“Xiao Jiu, he doesn’t want to go to kindergarten.” The man walked over and stood in front of her. He looked at her wet hair, which had been trimmed a while ago.
“Let me wipe your hair.”
Qin Shu nodded and let him take the towel in her hand and dry her hair.
The height ratio between the two of them was perfect. When he wiped her hair, it was effortless. On the contrary, it was very relaxing.
Qin Shu smiled and said, “Now he is telling you that he doesn’t want to go to kindergarten. Just now, I asked him if he was nervous about going to kindergarten, and he said he wasn’t.”
No matter how independent Xiao Jiu was, he was only three years old.
“He wants to fly,” the man couldn’t help but joke about it.
Qin Shu couldn’t help but laugh. “How about I’ll go with him tomorrow. I’ll accompany him for a few days to get used to it.”
“Didn’t we agree to go and customize the wedding dress tomorrow? Are you going to let me go alone?” The man expressed some dissatisfaction.
“Isn’t the wedding date set at the beginning of next year? There’s still half a year. We don’t need to do it tomorrow.”
Xiao Jiu was already three. They hadn’t held a wedding banquet yet, so many people still didn’t know.
Therefore, Fu Tingyu decided to hold a grand wedding of the century at the beginning of the year. At that time, his relatives and friends would have the time to attend the wedding banquet.
He planned to spend half a year organizing it.
“You can’t spoil Xiao Jiu. He needs to be independent. Other children go to school alone, but he needs his parents to accompany him? Xiao Jiu will feel inferior,” the man advised earnestly.
“That seems to make sense.” Qin Shu thought for a moment. “Then I won’t go. I’ll let Boss go with him tomorrow.”
“Good.” Only then did the man continue to wipe his wife’s hair in satisfaction.
Following that, Qin Shu said, “I’ll secretly follow behind. It’s fine as long as he doesn’t find out.”
“…” The man stopped wiping hair and held his wife in his arms, he continued to persuade her, “You can’t follow him forever, and you can’t protect him forever. If he is nervous even just by going to kindergarten and is not used to it, then is he still my son?”
“But Xiao Jiu is still a three-year-old child.”
“He can bathe and sleep by himself at the age of three, brush his teeth, wash his face, and put on his clothes. He’s very brave. He has memorized our phone numbers, Shi Yan, Ye Luo, our parents, and grandmother’s number as well.”
“But Xiao Jiu is still a child after all.”
“A child also needs to learn how to face problems alone so that he can grow up.”
Qin Shu couldn’t help but say, “You always make sense.”
The man paused for a moment and said, “That’s how I lived when I was young.”
Qin Shu raised her head and looked at him with raised eyebrows. “So, you want your son to walk the same path as you once did?”
The man looked at her fixedly. “I just want him to be independent and self-reliant. When he grows up, he will understand that the hardships he suffered when he was young were worth it.”
Qin Shu was persuaded.
The next morning, they finished their breakfast.
Qin Shu watched Xiao Jiu put on his backpack. She felt the size of the backpack could crush his skinny shoulders.
Xiao Jiu carried the backpack and looked around. Finally, his gaze fell on Boss. He waved at the cat and said, “Boss, come here.”
Boss had just finished eating the fish. Before it could lick the fish soup off the corner of its mouth, it heard Xiao Jiu call out to it and ran over without any hesitation.
Xiao Jiu then looked at Qin Shu, wanting to say something. However, seeing his father’s cold face, he swallowed what he wanted to say. “Dad, Mom, I’m leaving.”
After saying that, he brought Boss out. He couldn’t help but complain in his heart. Was he actually his father’s son?
Ye Luo had been waiting by the car. The car door had already opened.
After Xiao Jiu got into the car, Boss also jumped into the car and sat on the seat next to Xiao Jiu.
After Ye Luo closed the car door, he sat in the passenger seat.
A designated driver was driving.
On the road, Xiao Jiu lifted his small face and looked at Ye Luo who was sitting in the passenger seat. He was a little worried. “Uncle Ye, do you think I’m dad’s biological son?”
Just as Xiao Jiu said that, the driver’s hand trembled in fear. What did this young master just say?
Ye Luo was also stunned. He looked at the driver. “Concentrate on driving.”
“Alright, got t.” The driver comforted his timid heart and continued to drive.
Ye Luo turned to look at Xiao Jiu. “Why do you ask, Young Master?”
Xiao Jiu said angrily, “Dad hates me. He cares about me even less than Grandmaster and Grandma do. ”
Grandma?
Ye Luo’s expressionless face cracked. Didn’t Qin Shu’s mother pass away?
So this is???
“It doesn’t matter if he’s my biological father or not. As long as my mother is my real mother, it’s fine. Uncle Ye, don’t worry that I won’t give him a pension. I’m living in his house now, eating and drinking his food, so I’ll give him a pension.”
The corner of Ye Luo’s mouth twitched. What kind of logic was this?
After complaining, Xiao Jiu’s mood improved a lot, and he threw all that to the back of his mind. “Uncle Ye, let’s practice boxing together next time.”
Ye Luo agreed.
On the first day of school, many parents came to the entrance of the kindergarten to send their babies to school.
Xiao Jiu refused Ye Luo to send him to school. He carried his bag alone and walked into the kindergarten.
Boss always sneaked into the kindergarten through the stainless steel wall.
