Stop There, Daddy

Having perceived the earnestness in Lu Yuan’er’s tone of voice, Wen Baobao bobbed his head seriously and said with a very proud face, “My mommy’s the only woman that my dad will sleep with. All other women are ineligible.”

“Tsk, tsk, you have such great faith in your mom’s charm, but I still haven’t seen your mommy yet. I’m not sure if your mommy’s beauty matches mine.” Lu Yuan’er stared at Wen Baobao, disdain written all over her face, and she even gave his nose a tweak.

Though this little guy had only just moved into the He family’s mansion, he was He Siming’s son. Lu Yuan’er had taken a liking to him when she first met him, and after the two of them spent some time together, her fondness for him had deepened.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

To put it bluntly, the two of them were like friends, and they were both as immature as three-year-old children. Lu Yuan’er, though having reached adulthood and looked like a home-wrecker, was actually adorable.

Wen Baobao held his chin and, after gazing at Lu Yuan’er for a while, replied earnestly, “You two are both pretty, but I think my mommy’s a bit prettier. Your face is too coquettish. You strike people as a bad woman.”

“That’s nonsense. I never committed any crimes, and I’ve hardly dated any men so far. What makes you think I’m a bad woman?” Lu Yuan’er snapped.

She felt that being a sexy woman did tend to cause people to misunderstand. In fact, sometimes, when looking into a mirror, even she herself felt that she didn’t look like a good woman. After all, due to her looks and the sexiness she was born with, it was difficult for people not to overthink it.

Wen Baobao curled his lip and, looking hard done by, said, “You were the one who told me to compare you two, and now you’re blaming me. I’m just a kid. Don’t you dare bully me!”

He paused briefly before he resumed, “This is not a good time for you to meet my mommy. My mommy will definitely be jealous when she sees you. You need to let me put in a good word for you first before you go to see her.”

“Hey, are you an ingrate or something? Why do you not want me to see your mom? I don’t believe your mommy’s prettier than me. I need to verify it.” Lu Yuan’er became more annoyed with her every word, and her fair-complexioned face flushed.

Having perceived that Lu Yuan’er was on the verge of a mental breakdown, Wen Baobao did not dare antagonize her further and decided to slink away.

However, he had just gone a few paces when he was pulled back by Lu Yuan’er. She said fiercely, “You’re not going anywhere unless you get those things straight. What are you going to say about me when talking to your mommy?”

“Mmm…” Wen Baobao lapsed into deep thoughts.

Actually, he was just joking. It’d never crossed his mind that Lu Yuan’er would take him seriously. Therefore, he really didn’t know how to explain. Besides, all women, as he believed, were high-maintenance. There was no telling whether he might say the wrong words and anger her.

“Say something right now, or I’ll push the door open and walk inside.” Lu Yuan’er really didn’t have that much patience. She soon walked to the door of He Siming’s room.

She had thought that Wen Baobao would block her path, but unexpectedly, the boy just stood where he was, watching her amusedly, as if eager to see her open the door right away.

What a brat!

Lu Yuan’er gnashed her teeth. Resigned, she walked back to him and said angrily, “You messed with me. I’ll go talk to your mommy when they finish, and I’ll tell her how you’ve been misbehaving lately. Let’s see which one of us she’ll believe.”

“Suit yourself. If there’s nothing else, Aunt Yuan’er, I’ll go back to my room to rest. I’m so sleepy,” Wen Baobao said, turning around to leave. Though he couldn’t afford to make an enemy of her, he could avoid her. Apart from anything else, women were difficult to deal with.

Perhaps having realized her gaffe, Lu Yuan’er didn’t grab Wen Baobao. Her eyes travelled to the door in spite of herself. Suddenly she became very curious about Wen Shuyue.

Her cousin had hardly brought anybody to his bedroom before, and this time he actually brought a woman here, which was an even rarer occurrence, for virtually nobody could cure this man of his obsession with cleanliness.

In fact, Wen Shuyue and He Siming could hear the voices from outside, but they were too fascinated by each other, so they didn’t pay any regard to that. It even made them more thrilled. But when they finished, Wen Shuyue began to feel shy.

“Who was Baobao talking to just now? Do you think he heard our voices?” Lying in He Siming’s arms, Wen Shuyue fingered her hair, feeling bored.

He Siming’s thin lips curved slightly. He leaned his cheek against her ear and said slowly in a low magnetic voice, “You screamed so loud. How could he not have heard it?”

Wen Shuyue instantly blushed and she punched him playfully several times, too shamefaced to speak.

Her reaction made He Siming even happier. It had become something of a hobby of his to tease this woman. He didn’t know when, but this woman had become an indispensable part of his life.

Wen Shuyue patted her cheeks. Then, seemingly having recalled something, she said with a faintly apprehensive voice, “Who are we to each other now? Lin keeps saying our relations are uncertain. She seems to be uncomfortable about the idea of me coming here.”

“You’re my woman. Who do you think we are to each other?” He Siming suddenly held her chin to force her to look him in the eye.

The earnestness and determination in his eyes were very manifest. Though Wen Shuyue wanted to ignore it, she was still trapped there solidly and had to take his words seriously.

A hint of redness gradually appeared on her fair-skinned and beautiful face. Unlike the flush caused by shyness a moment ago, this redness was caused by delight. She smiled happily, “Then I’ll tell her this. I think she’ll agree to let me move here.”

“If she dares disagree, tell me and I’ll go there and take care of her,” He Siming said blandly. Though joking, he still sounded somewhat scary because of his serious tone of voice.

Wen Shuyue hurriedly waved her hand and explained, “Don’t worry. I’m sure Lin will agree. If you really go there, she might disagree.”

The two of them spent a romantic night together. He Siming wanted her from time to time, and Wen Shuyue cherished every minute the two of them were together. She wished time would stop so they could be together forever.

Early the next morning, Wen Shuyue woke up to find that He Siming was no longer by her side. She got out of bed, went downstairs and saw that everybody was staring unblinkingly at her.

“What-What’s wrong?” Wen Shuyue, confused, stroked her face subconsciously.

Wen Baobao shook his head and smiled. “Mommy, you’re so beautiful today.”
