When the elderly man heard his daughter’s suggestion, he hummed in thought.
At this time, footsteps were heard from the stairs. Baby Tangtang foggily ran down in his fuzzy cartoon pajamas.
When Madam Nie saw that Tangtang had woken up, she immediately stood up, distraught. “You’re awake, Tangtang. Did we wake you up?”
The little fella rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked toward Si Yehan on the sofa in his rabbit slippers. He extended his short little arms toward Si Yehan and glutinously said, “Hug, Daddy!”
Si Yehan froze in his spot for a moment before regaining his senses and reaching out to embrace the soft child who smelled like milk.
“Daddy, Tangtang had a nightmare…” The little fella sulkily complained as he buried his head into his dad’s arms.
Si Yehan carefully hugged the dumpling in his arms and gently patted his back. He comforted Tangtang a bit sloppily. “It’s nothing. Nightmares are all fake.”
“Mn…” Only then did the little fella feel relieved. He closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
The living room was oddly quiet. Patriarch Nie and Madam Nie didn’t speak a word as they watched this scene.
“It appears Tangtang is getting along nicely with Ah-Jiu,” the elderly man said.
This time, Patriarch Nie and Madam Nie had no rebuttal.
And so, the matter was settled just like that. Si Yehan carefully carried Tangtang upstairs, and Ye Wanwan also followed.
After entering Tangtang’s room, Si Yehan gently placed the little fella on the bed and covered him with the comforter.
Si Yehan and Ye Wanwan were about to leave when Baby Tangtang suddenly opened his eyes and called out, “Mommy…”
Ye Wanwan turned back around in surprise and saw her son’s eyes, which didn’t contain a trace of sleepiness. “Baby? You aren’t sleeping?”
“Hug, Mommy!”
Ye Wanwan quickly hugged the little fella.
“Mommy, did Tangtang perform well?”
“Of course. Baby was too awesome!” Ye Wanwan smacked a kiss on the eager little fella’s cheek and didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
She thought Tangtang was finally getting attached to Si Yehan, but who knew the little fella was just trying to help them tackle her parents?
Ye Wanwan praised him, “You performed very well! You guys acted like a real father and son!”
Baby Tangtang: “Mommy, we really are father and son though.”
Si Yehan also added, “We really are father and son.”
Ye Wanwan: “…”
Alright, fine, fine… it was a slip of the tongue on her part. It wasn’t her fault these two acted so awkward around each other!
At night, due to the little fella’s request, Ye Wanwan and Si Yehan stayed and slept with him.
With Baby Tangtang and Si Yehan by her side, Ye Wanwan quickly entered dreamland.
Si Yehan gently looked at his son next to him. “Are you asleep?”
Tangtang immediately opened his eyes.
Of course he hadn’t slept yet. Mommy was finally sleeping with him, so he couldn’t bear to fall asleep so fast.
You need something?
Tangtang inquired with his eyes.
“Can I ask you the reason why?” Si Yehan asked.
Although Si Yehan didn’t say it explicitly, Baby Tangtang seemed to immediately understand what the man was asking him.
Si Yehan was asking Tangtang why he didn’t like him.
Baby Tangtang peered at his mommy next to him, his pink cheeks puffing up and his lips pursing, as though he thought of something very unhappy.
Si Yehan didn’t pressure him and merely waited silently.
An unknown amount of time passed before little fella finally unwillingly answered, “Because Mommy likes you more…”
Mommy likes him more, which is greater than her like of me.
Shock flitted through Si Yehan’s eyes. He seriously didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
He never expected this to be the reason why the little fella scorned him.
He truly didn’t know whether to be happy or exasperated.
In terms of possessive behavior, his son deeply inherited this without a doubt…
