Chapter 617: The Fragrance Is Suspicious
The little kid glanced at his mother, pouting, and still reluctantly chose the largest piece of pastry.
These delicately made pastries, even the largest one, were not big at all.
Seeing the little one obediently doing as told, Xu Mumu was still very pleased. Children should naturally be taught from an early age.
The little guy began nibbling small bites, while Xu Mumu put away the rest of the pastries.
There was even a fridge here, and she directly stored them inside.
Yin Yang watched Xu Mumu with their son and chuckled lightly, holding the files that Chen had just delivered.
After eating, Xu Mumu took the little one out to the balcony to play, so he wouldn’t disturb his father. The child’s father wasn’t here to play; only she and her son were on vacation.
The balcony was very spacious, planted with ornamental plants, some even flowering.
Xu Mumu didn’t know much about these things and wasn’t particularly interested, but still found the blooming flowers quite pretty.
The little kid was much more straightforward than Xu Mumu, directly hugging a waist-high sapling and violently tearing down the prettiest pink flower.
Xu Mumu: "!!!" This violent behavior couldn’t be from her; it must be their Yin Family genes, exactly like that.
The flower was torn down, and the petals squeezed to ruin by the little guy, making it unsightly. He stared at the flower in his hand, looking a bit aggrieved.
"Mom, the flower is ugly." The little kid looked at Xu Mumu with such grievance, his pout big enough to hang an oil can.
Xu Mumu thought, with the way you tore that flower and with such strength, it would be strange if it looked nice.
She silently looked at her son and decided not to voice her thoughts, instead picking a fully bloomed flower for him.
"Here, play with this." Xu Mumu said helplessly.
Sure enough, the little kid’s face immediately lost its grievance holding the flower,
Then, Xu Mumu watched as the little kid began tearing off the purple chrysanthemum petals one by one, looking particularly happy.
This ruthless flower-destroying act made the little kid no longer seem cute.
"Why are you ruining it?" Xu Mumu looked helplessly at her little kid; she didn’t want him developing any strange hobbies in the future.
"I don’t like it." The little kid looked at his mom in confusion, then answered very earnestly.
"You don’t like it?" Xu Mumu looked at the little kid in confusion. Though he only uttered one or two words, she understood his meaning.
"Yes." The little kid nodded seriously and continued to strip the flower of its petals.
"Why don’t you like it?" Xu Mumu asked gently, watching the strands of petals fall to the ground; could it be the little guy doesn’t like flowers?
"It smells bad." The little kid said, staring at the flower in his hand.
"It doesn’t smell bad." Xu Mumu leaned in to sniff and indeed found it pleasant. Was there something wrong with her son’s sense of smell?
"Smells bad." The little kid insisted, his bun-like face wrinkled up.
"What about these flowers? Do they smell bad too?" Xu Mumu pointed to the other flowers. She suspected there might be a problem with her son’s sense of smell. If so, she’d take him to the hospital for a check-up.
"This one, smells bad, and this one, and this one." The little kid pointed to several other flowers.
Xu Mumu observed with a thoughtful look as her little kid pointed so confidently, making her suspect something else. He was so young, surely he wouldn’t lie.
"Honey, come over here." Xu Mumu, after a few seconds of silence, waved to Yin Yang.
"What’s wrong?" Yin Yang immediately put down the files and walked over.
Xu Mumu explained her findings and shared her suspicions with Yin Yang.
"Honey, I think Doudou might have an issue with his sense of smell, or maybe he has awakened some superpower and can detect certain scents." Xu Mumu seriously looked at Yin Yang, as she couldn’t come up with any other explanation.
"Let’s take Doudou to the hospital for a check-up this afternoon. I’ll have someone take these pots of flowers for analysis." Yin Yang slightly squinted his eyes. His son was pointing so specifically; he naturally believed in him.
Yin Yang took the mother and child inside, wiped the little one’s hands, and then made a phone call.
Half an hour later, an elderly man with a medical kit arrived at the top-floor suite. The flower pots had been moved to the innermost room by the guards, ready for examination by the elderly doctor.
Regardless of whether the stuff was dangerous, he didn’t want those weird flowers in the place he was staying.
Xu Mumu waited anxiously, watching her little kid, feeling somewhat melancholic. Now she and Yin Yang were inclined toward the latter hypothesis.
If those flowers were indeed dangerous, the thought of such a method made Xu Mumu shiver; it was simply unpreventable.
"Don’t worry, I’m here." Yin Yang gently comforted his little wife.
"Mm, I’m not scared; I’m just worried about Doudou. He’s so young to have such strange abilities. I don’t know if it’s a blessing or not." Xu Mumu pressed her lips together.
Not long after, the elderly doctor came shuffling back in hesitantly.
"Just say it directly." Seeing the old doctor look towards his wife as if to ask her to leave, Yin Yang said calmly.
"Family Head, those flowers were coated with a new kind of poison; inhaling it over long periods can gradually deteriorate both physical and mental health, yet it won’t show up in hospital tests." The elderly doctor’s voice trembled a little. Meeting such a thing was terrifying; he just wanted to retire now.
"Okay, Elder Qin, thank you for your effort. Please rest, and do not speak of today’s events to anyone." Yin Yang’s voice was cold.
"Yes, Family Head." Doctor Qin bowed, feeling a strong desire to forget all about this.
He had seen the Family Head’s ruthless methods before, even more so than the previous head, especially towards betrayers.
But how did the Family Head discover such hidden things and accurately pinpoint the problematic areas?
Stop, he told himself, don’t think anymore, my life may depend on it.
After seeing off Doctor Qin, the couple remained silent for quite a while; Xu Mumu had washed the little one’s hands several times, and now he was drinking honey water brought by Xu Mumu.
"Honey, our Doudou is indeed amazing." Xu Mumu said dryly. She hadn’t expected such a frightening event on their first outing. Looking again at the unaware child in her arms, Xu Mumu felt a bit of lingering fear. Those people using this method to harm Yin Yang were truly vicious.
