Chapter 636: I Don’t Want Daddy Anymore
Sweetheart? Baby? Enoch couldn’t tell which was the more important one and he had to turn to Xia Ning.
“Mummy, who is more important? Me or Daddy?”
Seeing the curious look on her son’s face, Xia Ning was embarra.s.sed. She threw a dirty look at Qiao Yu. Behave yourself and watch your language.
“I’m more important, of course.” Qiao Yu seemed to be ignorant of how displeased Xia Ning was and said to his son. “How did you think we created you?”
Xia Ning’s eyes widened as he stared at Qiao Yu. The guy had no shame!
Enoch looked from his dad to Xia Ning, then pursed his lips. “Mummy, do you like Daddy more?”
Xia Ning didn’t know what to say. Looking into her son’s bright eyes, she was about to say no when Qiao Yu spoke again.
“That’s not the right question. Your mother is a shy woman and she’s never going to tell you the truth.” Qiao Yu went on teasing his son.
Xia Ning was completely baffled by Qiao Yu. She was shy? Since when?
Enoch looked from Xia Ning to Qiao Yu, inched backward, then shouted in the direction of the kitchen at Gao Wanhua. “Grandma, Grandma, I don’t want Daddy anymore.”
Gao Wanhua came out of the kitchen in a hurry and said to Enoch. “Honey, what’s wrong?”
“Daddy wants to take Mummy from me! He’s a bad man!” Enoch said in grievance.
Gao Wanhua darted a look at Xia Ning and Qiao Yu, who were sitting on either side of Enoch, and a lightbulb went off in her head. Her smile widened. “I’ll teach your father a lesson later.”
Sensing Gao Wanhua’s gaze, Xia Ning was a little embarra.s.sed. She looked down at Enoch.
Qiao Yu, on the other hand, remained unperturbed. He only said to Enoch in an indifferent voice. “Going to your grandmother for help because you can’t beat me? You’re such a baby!”
“Daddy, you’re the baby! You’re the biggest baby!” Enoch stared at Qiao Yu and snorted.
Xia Ning couldn’t bring herself to watch the interaction between the father and son. Both were equally childish, but Enoch was still a child and his reaction was only normal. Qiao Yu, on the other hand, was being unreasonable.
She couldn’t help but look at Qiao Yu, who was playing with Enoch with his head lowered. The lines on his face softened and he didn’t look as emotionless. The affectionate look in his eyes was unbelievable.
This wasn’t a big family, but the warmth between the grandmother, father, and son made her envy. It was too wonderful to look away. There was a time when she had a happy family like this too.
After playing with Enoch for a while, Qiao Yu sensed that he was being watched. He looked up to find Xia Ning staring blankly at him and she almost looked infatuated. His pupils contracted and he kept his gaze on her in turn.
Realizing that she had been spotted, Xia Ning looked away in embarra.s.sment. She then took out a magic cube and began to play with Enoch.
Qiao Yu didn’t look away. He followed her gaze to her nimble fingers, which were quickly flipping the magic cube around.
“Mummy, you’re turning it too quickly. I can’t follow,” said Enoch grumpily.
Xia Ning paused, then slowed down. She said awkwardly, “Sorry, I’ll slow down.” Sensing Qiao Yu’s gaze, she was a little nervous.
Qiao Yu darted a look at Xia Ning and smiled a little.
After dinner, Qiao Yu went up to the third-floor study to get some work done.
After playing for a little while, Enoch went back to his bedroom with Gao Wanhua and went to bed.
Xia Ning turned on the TV to kill time but didn’t find anything interesting. So she went back to her room as well.
As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw a half-naked man walking out of the bathroom. His broad back was bare and his lean waist was still wet. It was a wonderful sight.
Hearing the door open, he turned around.
