Chapter 834: Chapter 834: Why So Annoying
"The weather is warming up, and the bugs are coming out. How about Uncle takes you out to catch some bugs?"
The little guy nodded and said, "Okay, it’s a deal then."
Zhao Guoxian watched Zhao Guqing and the little guy, one big and one small, both smiling so purely and innocently, it was quite amusing.
Zhao Guoxian covered his face, not wanting to look anymore.
The little guy’s innocent and cute smile was completely normal.
After all, at only 5 years old, how could he not be innocent and cute?
But why is Zhao Guqing acting all innocent and cute?
It’s obvious that his silly second brother is being led astray by the little guy.
Compared to the little guy, Zhao Guqing now looked like a fool when he smiled.
Zhao Guoxian couldn’t help but glance at Sun Qihui and Zhao Dingye’s reactions.
Wasn’t Sun Qihui just saying earlier that he was stupid?
Now let her see who’s really stupid!
Her foolish son is squatting right here.
Zhao Dingye: "..."
Sun Qihui: "..."
What kind of son did Zhao Gushen have?
Why is he so annoying!
Just thinking about it, Sun Qihui looked up and saw Chi Jingsi smiling smugly across from her.
Sun Qihui thought to herself that Chi Jingsi’s thoughts were written all over her face, clearly mocking Zhao Guqing for not even being a match for the little guy.
Being played around by a 5-year-old bean sprout, how humiliating.
And Zhao Dinghuan next to Chi Jingsi was smiling gently, looking sincerely gratified as he observed the little guy.
Sun Qihui really wanted to shout, what are you so gratified about!
She wasn’t sure what she was thinking at the time, but devilishly, she turned again to see the two elders’ reaction.
The old man was smiling like he saw the future in the little guy.
And the old lady even voiced out, "What a clever little rascal!"
Sun Qihui: "..."
Sun Qihui felt completely at a loss.
She turned again to look at Zhao Guqing, who had finally realized what was going on, withdrew his silly grin, tidying his clothes a bit awkwardly.
But it didn’t change the fact that he had acted foolishly a moment ago.
Such a smart son, how did he become so stupid at this moment?
Indeed, he is Zhao Gushen’s son, all from the old man’s line, not up to any good since they were 5!
Zhao Guqing came back to his senses, realizing he had been played by the little guy.
Zhao Guqing’s face was sullen, his eyes heavy, looking down at the little guy.
He had been so easily outplayed by a 5-year-old, such a blow to his dignity.
He had originally thought to show his capability in front of the two elders.
Now he couldn’t even outplay a 5-year-old boy.
How could the two elders believe he was capable anymore?
Zhao Guqing was nearly losing his temper, glaring at the little guy with resentment.
This kid better not fall into his hands later on!
Or he wouldn’t let this kid have it easy!
No matter how well Zhao Guqing disguised it, he couldn’t hide the malice in his eyes.
The little guy clearly felt this malice.
His face turned pale, and he hid behind Zhao Guoxian.
Even before he had met Zhao Gushen, Ye Fei had protected him well.
Ye Fei spoiled him as much as she could.
Not to mention, after meeting Zhao Gushen, he had great-grandparents, grandparents.
And both Zhao Gushen and Ye Fei together shielded him from all outside malice.
The little guy had never felt such direct malice before.
Even the words Wang Zishuai said back then weren’t as scary as Zhao Guqing’s gaze.
After all, Wang Zishuai, a child, at most only inflicted verbal harm.
How could it be like Zhao Guqing, who truly intended from the heart to harm the little guy?
Even though Zhao Guqing hadn’t said it, the little guy instinctively could feel it.
"Second brother." Zhao Guoxian guarded the little guy behind him, warning in a low voice.
Zhao Guqing snapped back to reality, seeing Zhao Guoxian and the little guy both looking at him so warily, suddenly scoffed.
They were just a pair of fools.
No wonder Zhao Guoxian could play with a 5-year-old child.
They were equally foolish.
"Why are you calling me like this?" Zhao Guqing smiled faintly.
He walked over to the little guy, raised his hand, and gently patted the boy’s head twice.
Self-mockingly, he chuckled, "I really don’t have any knack with kids, Xiao Mo likes you more."
The little guy, although frightened by his malice for a moment, was still bold enough to say, "If second uncle catches bugs for me, I’ll like you too."
Zhao Guqing let out two cold laughs and said, "When it gets warmer, I’ll go catch them for you."
With that, he ignored the little guy and went back to his seat.
Pleasing a 5-year-old child, it’s really not something he could do.
He certainly wasn’t as shameless as Zhao Guoxian.
Sun Qihui glanced at the little guy, seemingly reminded of something.
She turned her head to probe Ye Fei, "Uh... Ye Fei, is there anything different about Xiao Mo now?"
"Anything different?" Ye Fei didn’t catch Sun Qihui’s drift for a moment, just carefully asked.
Sun Qihui let out a dry laugh, "I remember when Gu Shen awakened his abilities, it was in elementary school, which grade was that again?"
Ye Fei suddenly understood, realizing Sun Qihui was asking about this.
Inquiring whether the little guy had awakened any Family Head abilities, likely contemplating if Zhao Guqing would still have time to have children.
The little guy indeed hadn’t awakened yet, so there was nothing to hide.
Ye Fei told Sun Qihui, "Not yet."
She hadn’t heard Xiao Mo mention anything different about himself.
To be honest, Ye Fei herself didn’t know how awakening the Family Head ability would manifest.
Whether it could only be felt by the person themselves, or if there would be any signs.
She forgot to ask Zhao Gushen about it.
She really hadn’t set her mind on the Family Head position.
Unlike Zhao Dingye’s family, who eyed the Family Head position like a gold mine.
After all, the Family Head position wasn’t that important to Ye Fei.
It entirely relied on the Family Head ability to determine.
But such things couldn’t be determined by their own personal will.
If Xiao Mo awakened the family ability, he would be the future Family Head, and the responsibilities and burdens on him would only become heavier.
If he didn’t awaken the Family Head ability, instead, he could freely choose what he liked to do.
Like Zhao Guoxian, it wouldn’t be an unhappy thing.
As long as it was a legitimate job, as long as the little guy liked it, their family would be a strong backing for him, supporting him in pursuing the career he loved.
But Sun Qihui evidently hadn’t given up and asked Zhao Gushen, "Gu Shen, at what age did you awaken?"
Zhao Gushen casually replied, "I remember it was in the third grade of elementary school, probably around 9 years old then."
