Chapter 1271: Sinister Little Huo Yao! (Extra 2)
"Yeah, his dad’s attitude is quite firm, just won’t agree."
The auntie eating with them also noticed Little Huo Yao’s little scheme.
This little guy, so young but full of thoughts...
Knowing his dad is hard to deal with, he picks the softer target.
The auntie had to admit, the kid is smart!
Minal, hearing the aunt say this, understood more clearly, "You see, your dad disagrees. If I buy it for you, your dad will definitely be angry with me. Then, not only won’t you be able to have a dog, but your dad might not let me see you again!"
"He won’t!"
Huo Yao frowned his small, light eyebrows, pointing with a chubby finger, "If dad disagrees, I’ll kick him out!"
Minal looked helpless, "How would you kick your dad out? This whole house belongs to your dad. Haven’t I told you before, this house was bought by your dad for over ten million."
"But I want to kick him out!"
Huo Yao pouted stubbornly, "He won’t let me have a dog, and he doesn’t play with me! Yaoyao is too lonely every day! Yaoyao is unhappy!"
The little guy turned his head to the other side, really showing an unhappy face.
Minal looked at his angry little face, feeling... this willful personality is so much like Brother Feng!
At least Brother Feng has Sangzhi to keep him in check; this little guy... who can manage him?
"Hey, don’t be so quick to get angry."
Minal coaxed him gently, "Aunt Xiaomai will call your Uncle Ye for you. Let’s hear what Uncle Ye has to say, okay?"
Huo Yao knows Ye Xi is fond of him, immediately turning back and nodding, "Okay!"
Minal took out her phone right away, called Ye Xi, and put the call on speaker.
The phone was placed on Huo Yao’s little table, and she said, "Wait a bit and tell Uncle Ye yourself."
"Okay~" Huo Yao nodded obediently, revealing his chubby double chin.
The call connected quickly, with Ye Xi’s clear voice on the other end, "What’s up?"
Minal shouted from a distance, "A little doll wants to talk to you..."
After she shouted, Huo Yao quickly spoke up, "Uncle Ye~ Yaoyao misses you~"
The little guy’s voice was soft and sweet, carrying a tone of whining.
Ye Xi, on the other end, quickly left the lab, hiding in a corner, with a smile, "Isn’t Aunt Xiaomai there with you? Isn’t that enough?"
"Uncle Ye~ Yaoyao is too lonely~"
Huo Yao said in a soft voice, "Yaoyao feels so cold at night alone~ Yaoyao wants company~"
Minal and the aunt, listening to this two-and-a-half-year-old child talking like this, both showed helpless expressions.
The aunt explained to Minal, "His dad often says these things at home, he learned it from his dad."
Minal nodded, "I understand."
She could understand Brother Feng’s longing for Sangzhi.
Not only did Brother Feng say these things at home, but his social media was always full of words like ’lonely’.
Even his WeChat profile picture was directly changed to the word ’lonely’!
Thinking back on this amused Minal greatly...
Little Huo Yao was mimicking his dad’s words...
Ye Xi on the other end was also stunned by Huo Yao’s golden words, looking a bit confused, "Hmm? What’s wrong with you?"
"Yaoyao wants Uncle Ye to give Yaoyao a gift~ Something a bit expensive~" Huo Yao’s tone still whined, playing with his bottle as he spoke.
Ye Xi was straightforward on the other end, "How much? Just tell Aunt Xiaomai, all my money is with her."
"So Uncle Ye agrees to buy a gift for Yaoyao?" Huo Yao asked.
Ye Xi swiftly fell into the trap, "Of course, you tell Aunt Xiaomai, Uncle is busy here and needs to hang up."
"Okay~ Thank you, Uncle Ye! Yaoyao really likes Uncle Ye! Uncle Ye, come play at Yaoyao’s house next time!"
Huo Yao rattled off a lot, and Minal, sensing something was off, shouted, "Wait, don’t hang up yet! I haven’t explained..."
Before Minal could explain Little Huo Yao’s desire to buy a dog to Ye Xi, Little Huo Yao’s chubby finger accidentally pressed the hang-up button.
The call was disconnected.
The little guy was cunning and clever, almost a chibi version of Brother Feng!
Minal let out a breath, squinting her eyes at Huo Yao, "Why didn’t you tell Uncle Ye you wanted to buy a dog? If you had told him, Uncle Ye might not have agreed."
Huo Yao pretended not to hear her, stubbornly and defiantly saying, "Aunt Xiaomai, let’s go buy a dog this afternoon! Yaoyao really likes Aunt Xiaomai! Mwah!"
Huo Yao pressed his little pudgy hand to his lips and blew Minal a kiss.
His flirting moves were already second nature!
Minal was speechless towards him!
"This is truly a big deal, I’m telling you...
Minal still didn’t dare to agree without permission, "I’ll have to call your dad later. If your dad disagrees, it’s an absolute no."
"Waa—"
Suddenly, Huo Yao burst into tears.
Minal, just retrieving her phone, was startled by his cry.
She didn’t want to see the child cry so sadly, hurriedly coaxing, "Oh dear, little baby, why are you crying~ I haven’t even called your dad yet~"
"You’re not allowed to call my dad~ If you call him, I won’t like you anymore, I’ll hate you! Waa—"
Huo Yao tightly closed his eyes, mouth open wide, in a heart-wrenching cry, filling the entire house with his wails.
Minal had absolutely no way to handle him!
She looked at Huo Yao helplessly, reaching out to pat his little head, "Alright, I won’t tell your dad. I won’t tell him, okay?"
"Okay~"
Huo Yao immediately stopped crying, his expression returned to normal; such a transformation in mere seconds... truly staggering!
Minal furrowed her brow, "You were just pretending to cry?"
Huo Yao took a sip of milk, "Aunt Xiaomai, let’s go buy a dog this afternoon."
Minal could only say, "We’ll see..."
Huo Yao, in a little child’s voice, said, "Yaoyao wants to go with you, Yaoyao wants to pick a dog Yaoyao likes."
Minal gritted her teeth, "We’ll see, we’ll see."
She planned to brush it off.
After lunch, Huo Yao began urging Minal to go buy a dog.
Minal excused herself by playing games with him...
After a short while, Huo Yao urged to buy a dog again.
Minal gave him a strawberry cake.
While eating the cake, Huo Yao urged her to buy a dog again.
Minal suggested they take a nap.
Huo Yao lay vigorously on the bed, staring at Minal with big, gleaming eyes: "Aunt Xiaomai, let’s buy a dog when I wake up, okay? Yaoyao has been good, Yaoyao wants a dog."
Looking at the child’s pure and sincere eyes, Minal’s heart that intended to brush him off felt guilty.
She gently patted Huo Yao, "Alright, then you sleep first..."
Huo Yao hugged Minal’s hand, his little face lifted with a sweet smile, "Yaoyao likes Aunt Xiaomai the most. If Aunt Xiaomai keeps Yaoyao company, Yaoyao won’t be lonely. If Aunt Xiaomai leaves, Yaoyao will be lonely."
Minal felt a painful sadness listening to this.
Thinking about how there’s no woman of the house here, the child doesn’t have a mom, Brother Feng doesn’t have a wife, indeed, it feels a bit lifeless...
Maybe, she should buy a dog to keep the father and son company.
At the moment when Minal’s resolve wavered, Huo Yao’s lips curled into a sly smile.
