Chapter 519 - 519: Pei Jingzhou: “Young Brat, Fighting with
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Xiwu had 11 days of holidays after the new year. It would probably be a waste if she only spent these 11 days in the capital. Hence, she discussed it with Pei Jingzhou and decided to take Yaoyao and Youyou overseas for a trip during the holidays.
Their destination was tentatively Alaska.
The family of four would bring almost no luggage on this trip. All the necessities and equipment would be purchased after they arrived in Alaska. It was also to be able to have fun. The luggage they carried with them would only be a burden.
Ever since Youyou was brought back from Country T by Gu Lanshi, she had never gone on a transnational trip. She, who had been living in the capital, looked forward to this transnational trip and kept muttering.
When Yaoyao was by Madam Di Xin’s side, he would occasionally be taken to other countries by Madam Di Xin. He was actually not happy about going on a long trip and was even a little resistant. It was often easy for his stomach to feel uncomfortable because of the acclimatization.
This was also what Li Xiwu was worried about.
This time, after Yaoyao learned that he was going on a long trip, he expressed his protest with silence—he didn’t want to go!
Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou took turns doing mental homework for Yaoyao.
Then, they realized that Yaoyao’s resistance to going on a long trip actually came from after he went on a long trip. Most of the time, he was alone in an unfamiliar place, and Madam Di Xin, who brought him on a long trip, was busy with other things. Without anyone to accompany him, this led to him not liking to go on a long trip.
When Li Xiwu found out that this was the reason, although her heart ached for Yaoyao, she did not blame Madam Di Xin.
As the former Prime Minister’s wife, Madam Di Xin could not keep Yaoyao by her side all the time because she wanted to protect Yaoyao’s safety. However, Yaoyao needed company more. In the end, Yaoyao could only stay alone in the well-protected high wall.
Li Xiwu squatted in front of Yaoyao and zipped up his jacket. She said gently, “Mom and Dad promise you that we will be by your side all the time on this long trip. No matter where we go, we will bring you along, okay?”
Yaoyao still did not say anything. He had been silent for almost two hours.
No matter what Li Xiwu said, Yaoyao always protested with silence. Li Xiwu’s heart ached, but she was helpless because she really didn’t know what method to use to make Yaoyao believe that she wouldn’t leave him in one place this time.
Pei Jingzhou walked over with a frown. He gestured for Li Xiwu to get up first, then picked up Yaoyao and placed him on the high chair beside him. He turned to Li Xiwu and said, “You can leave first. I’ll talk to this kid alone.’
Li Xiwu knew very well that Pei Jingzhou only doted on Yaoyao more than she did. Naturally, he would not use his dignity to make Yaoyao compromise. “Okay,” she said. She glanced at Yaoyao before turning to leave.
After Li Xiwu left, only Pei Jingzhou and Yaoyao were left in the room. The atmosphere was very quiet. “Li Yangui,” Pei Jingzhou said in a serious tone.
Yaoyao was still looking in the direction of the door, because Li Xiwu had just gone out in that direction. Hearing his father call him, he turned to look at him. Pei Jingzhou looked at the little guy’s unhappy expression and said, “Make a statement.’
Yaoyao lowered his eyes, trying to hide his emotions with his eyes. Pei Jingzhou was very patient. He placed his arm on the side of the chair. “Your mother told you just now. Why didn’t you believe her?”
Yaoyao continued to droop his head, ignoring Pei Jingzhou’s words. Pei
Jingzhou’s expression darkened. “Li Yangui, raise your head and answer me. Don’t just lower your head. What kind of person are you?”
Yaoyao slowly raised his head. He looked up at his angry father, but they only looked at each other and did not say a word.
Pei Jingzhou could not do anything to him. Before he could reason again, he suddenly heard his son call out to him in a muffled voice— “Dad.’
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. When the kid finally spoke, he asked, “What do you want to say?”
Yaoyao fell silent again, as if he was hesitating about how to express himself. Pei Jingzhou did not rush him and waited patiently. In the end, Yaoyao mustered his courage and said, “l don’t want to go.”
Pei Jingzhou was not surprised and only asked, “You really don’t want to go?”
Yaoyao did not remain silent this time. He shook his head first, then said, “1 don’t want to go.”
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. “Okay, I understand.”
Yaoyao was very happy. His usually silent expression was a little livelier than usual. It was obvious that he was really happy not to go overseas.
Pei Jingzhou retracted his hand and took two steps back. He leaned against the cabinet behind him leisurely and looked down at his son, who was relieved because he had promised not to go abroad.
Pei Jingzhou smiled. Young brat, fighting with me?
“I’ve decided,” Pei Jingzhou suddenly said.
Yaoyao looked confused. What had Dad decided?
Pei Jingzhou said, “I’ve decided not to bring your mother and Youyou to Alaska.’
Yaoyao:
Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, avoiding his son’s gaze. “Your mother mentioned to me several times that she wanted to watch the most beautiful aurora, but she couldn’t find time because of work. It’s her annual leave now, and it’s also time to watch the aurora.’
At this point, Pei Jingzhou said regretfully, “What a pity. This is such a good opportunity. She can’t see the aurora she’s been longing for.”
Yaoyao frowned. “Does Mom want to see the aurora?”
“Yes, she really wants to.” Pei Jingzhou then said, “But we won’t have the chance to go this year. I’ll tell her later. Why don’t we wait until next year?”
With that, Pei Jingzhou left. When he passed by Yaoyao, he grabbed Pei Jingzhou’s sleeve anxiously. Not only was he anxious, but his tone also sounded anxious. ‘Dad.’
Pei Jingzhou stopped in his tracks and looked sideways at Yaoyao. Yaoyao raised his head. “I’m not going, but you’re taking Mom to see the aurora.”
Pei Jingzhou shook his head. “No.”
Yaoyao immediately asked, “Why not?”
Pei Jingzhou told him the truth. “Because your mother wants to bring you and Youyou along. Since you can’t go, she naturally has to change her plan.”
Yaoyao asked, “Change the plan?”
Pei Jingzhou revealed a bored expression. “She’d probably have to go back to the company to work overtime. The vacation will end early.”
At this point, Pei Jingzhou deliberately said, “You have to know that no mother will abandon her child to see the beauty of the world alone. If she really abandons her child one day, it must be because her child has grown up and can see this beautiful world on his own.’
Pei Jingzhou raised his wrist, indicating for Yaoyao to let go. But Yaoyao did not let go.. He pleaded in a low voice, “Dad, can you take Mom and Sister to see the beauty of this world?”
