Chapter 492: Chapter 492 Mutual Disdain Between Father and Son
Hua Yueran truly liked Zhuo Yun, and with a smile, she said, "No need, no need, it’s almost ready, everything’s in the pot, you just wash your hands and wait."
"Alright."
Over here, Sheng Le obediently greeted Hua Yueran and then walked over to Sheng An, whispering, "Sis, what exactly is your relationship with him now?"
Sheng An frowned, "Xiaole, can’t you stop causing trouble? Zhuo Yun is now in the military with me, in the ninth team, don’t you know that? My mother really likes him, plus they’ve known each other for a long time, he often comes to our house, what’s wrong with that?"
"I know, but..." Sheng Le bit her lip in frustration. It was exactly because she knew that this man had a legitimate reason to be by Sheng An’s side that it frustrated Sheng Le the most!
Moreover, he also knew that his sister was actually quite reserved. For instance, they had grown up together since childhood, yet his sister was oblivious to his longstanding affection for her!
Sheng Le said with frustration, "Sis, don’t you know he’s always liked you?"
Sheng An seemed a bit angry as she replied in disbelief, "Lele, what you mean is, if someone likes me and I don’t plan to accept them, I can’t see them anymore, is that it?"
Sheng Le was at a loss for words.
Oh no, he seemed to be in that situation too!
Finally, the world went quiet. Sheng An washed her hands and helped her mother serve the dumplings, then looked over at Zhuo Yun, who was saying something that made her mother very happy.
And somehow, a remark Xiaowan had made before came to mind: the older they are, the more they care for you, cough cough...
Su Wan had no idea her offhand comment would be remembered by her friend for such a long time. After sending her friends off, she let the household robots clean the house, and then, with a mermaid tail conjured, she swam back and forth in the pool at home.
Little Gu Yu, seeing his mother’s big golden tail, was overjoyed and with a splash, he jumped in.
Little Gu Chen wanted to follow suit... Even though he wasn’t a Mermaid Beastman, his swimming skills were quite impressive, after all, he had been swimming with mom since he was little.
But he hesitated, then glanced at his little sister beside him.
Little Gu Chen asked gently, "Xiaoyan, do you want to swim?"
The little girl sitting in the stroller, holding Little Mushroom, looked longingly at the water where her brother was swimming with mom. She wanted to swim too, but she didn’t know how.
Little Gu Chen asked Vermilion Bird, "Do we have any children’s life rings?"
Vermilion Bird: "There are some in the storage, I’ll get them."
Soon Vermilion Bird brought several children’s life rings, and just as Su Wan swam to the edge, she saw this scene and then gently asked her daughter, "Xiaoyan, do you want to swim too?"
The little girl was still scared, but seeing her mother and brothers all there, she bit her pink lip and nodded, "Mm!"
Su Wan chose a safer life ring and gently lifted her daughter out of the stroller.
Xiaoyan’s little hands tightly gripped the life ring, and with a ’pop,’ a Little Mushroom sprouted from her head, and with a ’glug,’ she fell into the water.
Her eyes began to redden, her little hands gripped harder, but she still bravely kicked her legs, learning... She could only learn from her big brother’s moves, because her mother and little brother both had tails!
Why did she have only a mushroom and no tail?
Fortunately, Su Wan was always there beside her daughter, and with the other two sons happily swimming around, Xiaoyan gradually let go of her fear and stopped sprouting mushrooms.
After getting tired from swimming, when Su Wan got out, she first lifted her daughter out of the water. As for the two sons, there was no need to worry, one was a Mermaid Beastman naturally suited for swimming, and Little Gu Chen was already swimming better than a mermaid.
Su Wan, holding her soft and sticky daughter, smiled and said, "Xiaoyan, you see, swimming is pretty fun, isn’t it? Next time, mom will take you and your brothers to swim together, okay?"
"Mm!"
Su Wan discovered that Xiaoyan really wasn’t afraid of water anymore; at the beginning, it might have just been the unfamiliarity with swimming that scared her.
After all, Xiaoyan was a Plantman, so she was naturally very fond of water.
After drying her daughter’s hair, she changed her into dry clothes and then placed her in the crib.
Su Wan suddenly remembered that there was a disobedient Little Mushroom in the Space Button which she had forgotten about while sorting out other things.
The Little Mushroom had rendered a great service by telling Su Wan the exact coordinates of Gu Jue, that is, the location of the Insect Nest.
Su Wan took the Little Mushroom out of the glass box and placed it beside the crib.
Xiaoyan’s eyes indeed lit up!
"Ah! Ah!" The little one seemed very happy.
Su Wan said with a smile, "Xiaoyan, play with Little Mushroom first. I’m going to help your little brother change his clothes and dry his hair."
Xiaoyan hugged the glass box and nodded vigorously.
Su Wan bent down to kiss her daughter’s little cheek before turning to leave.
However, what she didn’t know was that as she turned and left, the Little Mushroom in the glass box suddenly flashed a silver light and walked straight out of the box.
Xiaoyan was very curious; although she was timid, she felt a natural affinity for Little Mushroom. In her mind, Little Mushroom was the most important existence after mommy.
She curiously reached out and poked the walking Little Mushroom, causing it to become top-heavy and fall to the ground, sprawled in all directions.
A certain Insect God: "..."
Such a marvel; he had never been treated this way because, from the moment of his birth, all members of the Insect Clan would kneel before him.
But the one before him...no, she wasn’t of the Insect Clan.
Yet, she smelled so good (╯▽╰) ah! So fragrant~~~
Remembering the woman’s actions just now, he immediately got up, slowly approached the little girl, and planted a big kiss on her cheek!
So sweet!
Xiaoyan was kissed by a mushroom and was still a bit stunned. She reached out and grabbed the mushroom in her hand, but it didn’t disappear as usual.
She widened her eyes!
This mushroom was very different!
The certain Insect God, however, was lying comfortably in the palm of Xiaoyan, narrowing his eyes; yes, he liked it here, much sweeter than the place where he was born!
Unaware of the little episode happening behind her, Xiaochen had grown up enough to bathe, dry his hair, and change clothes by himself. Su Wan went to change her younger son, Little Gu Yu, into dry clothes and to dry his golden shiny hair.
Little Gu Chen, busy drying his own hair, curiously approached, "Mommy, why is brother’s hair golden yellow?"
Su Wan replied, "He resembles Mommy more, and sometimes, Mommy’s hair also turns golden."
"Oh, I know, brother has a golden fish tail too, that’s also like Mommy!" The little wolf-eared boy sighed and said with the air of an old man, "I’m really envious of brother, he’s so much like Mommy in so many ways, while I, I’m like Daddy in so many ways, alas."
Su Wan’s lips twitched.
Well, it turns out the mutual disdain between father and son is reciprocated!
