Chapter 1394: Chapter 1393: Gourmet Festival Extra
"Huh?" Xia Chuyi seemed a bit confused by Huo Shiqian’s meaning.
"We’ve been waiting for you over here for a while. You were talking to Shanben and didn’t notice our son," Huo Shiqian reminded his wife.
Finally, Xia Chuyi understood what Huo Shiqian meant.
Was her son feeling that she wasn’t paying enough attention to him?
Xia Chuyi’s eyes squinted with a smile, she reached over and vigorously ruffled her son’s hair, saying, "Oh dear, Mommy knows she was wrong. Mommy shouldn’t ignore you, but my silly son..."
Xia Chuyi "forcibly" pulled her son from her husband’s arms, continuing, "Mommy has to earn money for formula to raise you!"
Upon hearing this, little Huo Shiwu, who had been pouting, immediately retorted, "I’m already three years old, I don’t drink milk formula!"
"Yes, yes, you don’t drink formula anymore, but you still have to eat, right?" Xia Chuyi purposely teased her son with a smile, "Eating, dressing, and you’ll have to go to school in the future, which of these doesn’t require money?"
"So, Shiwu, you need to understand Mommy. Mommy is working hard for you."
Whether Huo Shiwu took it to heart or not, his expression wasn’t as "stinky" anymore.
"Alright, stop teasing him," came Huo Shiqian’s voice, "Over on Rayne’s side, the doctor helped us make an appointment and is ready, we need to take Shiwu over."
"Okay." Hearing her husband’s words, Xia Chuyi stopped teasing her son.
The food festival matters were almost finished now.
So, the couple had time to take Huo Shiwu for a check-up.
Since it was a personal errand, Huo Shiqian and Xia Chuyi told a few people from the delegation, then left with their son.
Outside the venue, Rayne’s people were waiting for them in the car.
Once in the car, little Huo Shiwu, who had been in Xia Chuyi’s arms, climbed straight onto his father’s lap.
Apparently, the little one was still not completely over his "grudge" against Xia Chuyi.
"Hey, you little rascal, who do you think your mom is doing this for?" Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but ruffle her son’s hair, saying, "You’re too smart for your own good, I’m worried someone will want to dissect you!"
"I’m Huo Shiwu," little Huo Shiwu naturally retorted to Xia Chuyi’s words, "not a supernatural being!"
"Not a supernatural being, huh? You’re just a little kid, and you already know how to talk back to adults," Xia Chuyi’s hands itched, after ruffling her son’s hair, she wanted to pinch his cheeks.
"Smack!" Huo Shiqian slapped Xia Chuyi’s hand away with a blank expression, saying, "Don’t tease him."
Hearing this, Xia Chuyi pouted, grumbled, "I gave birth to this kid, and I can’t even pinch him..."
However, with a cold glance from Huo Shiqian, Xia Chuyi promptly changed her tune, saying, "Okay, I won’t tease him anymore."
Seeing that Xia Chuyi settled down, Huo Shiqian looked down and said to his son, "Mommy doesn’t know any better, Shiwu needs to understand Mommy, but truly, she’s doing it for your own good."
"The ground is too slippery, making it easy to fall; a knife, too sharp, can easily cut your hand."
"Shiwu, Daddy knows you’re excellent, but if excellence causes envy, others might not want to interact with you or like you in the future."
Xia Chuyi: ...
Does he really need to say these things to their three-year-old son?
Even though Huo Shiwu is very smart, he’s still three years old. Did he understand any of that?
Xia Chuyi was very doubtful.
