Stop There, Daddy

A lovely girl came out. She was about the same height as Wen Baobao. The two children stood together and looked like a perfect match

Wen Shuyue stared at the little girl for a while before turning to Wen Baobao and asking in confusion, “Baobao, who is this beautiful child?”

“She’s my classmate. She comes to hang out with me. Clementine, please go home since my parents have come back.” Wen Baobao looked nervous as if he had done something wrong.

Clementine looked shy. She glanced at everyone and turned to leave.

Wen Shuyue quickly stopped her and said with a smile, “Clementine, are you Baobao’s classmate? You are welcome to our house. If you have time, come often to play. It’s getting late. Do you want to stay and have dinner with us?”

“Okay.”

“No, she can’t.”

Clementine and Wen Baobao said at the same time. She wanted to stay while he wanted her to leave.

Wen Shuyue was in a dilemma. She looked at Clementine and glanced at Wen Baobao. In the end, she gazed at Clementine and said softly with a smile, “Clementine, please stay for supper. You are lovely. I like you.”

“Thank you, Aunty” Clementine smiled happily. After she spoke, she ran back to Wen Baobao and held his arm.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Wen Baobao felt awkward and cleared his throat, but Clementine didn’t know what he meant and held his hand tightly.

Wen Shuyue could tell that the two children were close. She suddenly thought of the girl at the swimming pool. It dawned on her. Was Clementine the girl at the swimming pool?

Wen Shuyue glanced at He Siming, who seemed to have seen this a lot and didn’t respond. Lu Yuan’er seemed to disapprove of this

She muttered, “Even such young kids start to show off their affection. You don’t care about the feelings of single people.” She sighed helplessly. A small kid like Wen Baobao had a girlfriend, and Lu Yuan’er didn’t have a boyfriend. She was frustrated.

Wen Baobao got cheeky when he heard Lu Yuan’er. He held Clementine’s hand and went up to Lu Yuan’er, saying with feigned earnestness, “Yuan’er, I think you should find a boyfriend. A friend of Clementine’s brother is single, and you might hit it off when you see him.”

“Do you want to anger me? If you say that again, I’ll tell your mommy what you have done these days. Let’s see if she…” Wen Baobao quickly stopped Lu Yuan’er.

But it was too late. Wen Shuyue narrowed her eyes and looked at the two of them. She knew there was something wrong.

Wen Baobao rubbed his forehead in annoyance and said, “Yuan’er, you like to get me in trouble. I won’t play with you anymore.” He paused and said to Wen Shuyue, “Mommy, let me tell you the truth. Clementine is my girlfriend. I guess you like your daughter-in-law.”

Daughter-in-law?

Wen Shuyue’s mouth twitched violently. She looked at her son in disbelief. He was only six years old, and he had found her a daughter-in-law?

Wasn’t it frightening?

“Clementine, come over and greeted your mother-in-law.” Wen Shuyue didn’t say anything for a long while, and Wen Baobao went up to Clementine and brought her to Wen Shuyue.

Clementine was compliant and said earnestly, “Hello, Mommy.”

“No, no, don’t call me like that now. If your parents hear you, they will be angry.” Wen waved her hand in terror.

However, He Siming was much calmer. He smiled faintly and seemed to be very satisfied with Wen Baobao. He seemed to say, “That’s my son.”

Wen Shuyue felt desperate and tugged at He Siming’s sleeve, whispering, “Can’t you control your son? I can’t talk sense into his head.”

“What do you want me to do?” He Siming asked with a hint of amusement in his ember eyes.

Sensing He Siming was not taking it seriously, Wen Shuyue rolled her eyes and gave up.

Clementine had been following Wen Baobao all the time. She looked obedient and lovely. Wen Shuyue took Clementine aside and whispered, “Clementine, where do you live? I’ll take you home later, okay?”

“Aunty, don’t you like me? Why do you take me home so early?” Clementine tilted her head and looked at Wen Shuyue in confusion with beautiful bright eyes.

Wen Shuyue couldn’t bring herself to scold such a pretty and adorable girl. She could understand why Wen Baobao liked Clementine.

“My brother is calling me. Can you help me pick up the phone?” Clementine’s phone rang. She glanced at it and handed it to Wen Shuyue.

Her request caught Wen Shuyue off guard. Before she could speak, a gentle male voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Clementine, do you still want to hang out at your friend’s home? I can drop by and pick you up.”

“Okay…” Wen Shuyue was about to agree when she realized that Clementine was pulling her sleeves and shaking her head unwillingly. Obviously, she didn’t want to go home at all.

Wen Shuyue understood what the child was thinking, but she had to stand at the parent’s point of view. Wen Shuyue smiled at Clementine and said on the phone, “Hello, I’m Wen Baobao’s mother. Clementine wants to stay here for a while. Would you like to come over?”

The man fell silent for a long time. Wen Shuyue was anxious and asked, “Are you still there?”

“Yes.” The voice relieved Wen Shuyue. The man continued, “Long time no see, Wen Shuyue, my classmate.”

Wen Shuyue paused. She never expected Clementine’s brother to know her and call her his classmate.

Wen Baobao took the phone. He seemed to have guessed something and said to Clementine, “Since your brother is coming, you should go home now. I’ll walk you out.”

“But I want to stay with you for a while longer.” Clementine pouted and looked at Wen Baobao pitifully, but he took her out.

Wen Shuyue was rooted to the spot as if she was petrified, not even hearing what He Siming said.
