Song Wei waved her fan and unceremoniously commanded the greatest doctor in Yanjing, "Brush the roast duck with a layer of oil. Once Lil' Jiu comes back, it'll be ready."
"Mommy!" A familiar cry came from outside.
Song Wei looked up and saw a man in a custom-made suit standing outside the courtyard. He was very tall, making the courtyard's door look short and narrow. The man was handsome and carried a noble aura. He was cold, aloof, and unapproachable.
Song Xiaoyu excitedly pulled Lou Junchen's big hand and dragged him to Song Wei's side, taking credit. "Mommy, I brought Daddy back!"
Song Wei was silent. She did not expect Lil' Jiu to really bring a man back. 'This man doesn't look stupid. How did Lil' Jiu lure him back?'
She took Song Xiaoyu's hand and said plainly, "I'm sorry. My son is used to being naughty. If I've caused you any trouble, I'll apologize on his behalf."
Lou Junchen. "..."
This was very different from what he had imagined.
He thought that this little guy's mom was a country bumpkin who was a social climber. She must have carefully arranged for her son to go to Yanjing to look for him and call him daddy so that she could scam him for money. He did not expect her to be so calm after seeing him. She did not have the slightest intention of fawning over him, and her emotions were not the least bit affected.
Lin Yi was also a little confused. The woman in front of him was unexpectedly young and beautiful. Her temperament was even better than many people. She stood there with an inexplicable aura of a big shot, and she was not at a disadvantage even when she was in a confrontation with Master Lou.
Seeing that the woman had no intention of pestering him, Lou Junchen said, "Forget about apologizing. Take care of your son in the future."
"Thank you. I won't send you off."
The woman's straightforward reply made Lou Junchen a little interested.
Seeing that his father, whom he had finally found, was about to fly away, Song Xiaoyu burst into tears. "Mommy, you're so bad. You didn't go look for Daddy, and now that I found him for you, you still don't want him. How could you do this?"
Song Xiaoyu's heart-wrenching cries filled the small courtyard.
Song Wei had raised him for five years, and he had always been sensible during these five years. Even when he occasionally cried, it was all an act. Even if he was bullied by children from the same village and pushed into the river in the middle of winter, he would drag his wet clothes and run back aggrievedly, then he would get over it after crying for a while.
Therefore, Song Wei did not know how to coax him.
She squatted down helplessly and caressed his tender face. She coaxed him in a slightly stiff voice, "Lil' Jiu, don't cry. That's not your father. Don't make things difficult for him, okay?"
"That's Daddy. I've already asked Uncle Lai Si to check. Our DNAs are highly compatible. If you don't believe me, you can ask Uncle Lai Si."
Lai Si was one of Song Wei's disciples and was the second-ranked hacker in the world.
Song Wei squatted in front of Song Xiaoyu and gently wiped his tears. "You're already five years old this year. You're not two or three years old, so you can't act like a kid anymore, okay?"
Lin Yi. "..."
'Madam, aren't you being too strict with kids?'
He finally understood why the munchkin had secretly gone out to look for his father. On the way here, he heard the munchkin talk about his daily interactions with his mom. Most of the time, the child's mom was very busy. She was also very strict with him. Despite complaining about her, the munchkin was very sensible and said in the end, "Even so, I still love Mommy the most."
Lin Yi saw that Song Xiaoyu was crying non-stop. His heart ached so much that he wanted to hug him and pat him on the back to coax him.
Lou Junchen's expression was cold. "This is your family's matter. It's not convenient for us to interfere, so we'll take our leave first."
Hearing that he was going to leave, Song Xiaoyu could not be bothered to cry anymore. He flew over and hugged Lou Junchen's thigh, his snot and tears were all stuck in his expensive suit pants. "Mommy, look carefully. My eyes are very similar to Daddy's. He really is my daddy. Every child in the village has a daddy. I'm the only one who doesn't have one. I'm not an illegitimate child; I want a daddy too."
Lin Yi's heart ached terribly. He really wanted to tell Master Lou to just be the child's father whether the child belonged to him or not; the child was too pitiful!
Song Wei frowned slightly. She walked to Lou Junchen's side and bent down to pick Song Xiaoyu up.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Lou Junchen nodded and turned to leave the courtyard. Lin Yi looked at the crying munchkin reluctantly and sighed before leaving with Lou Junchen.
The car slowly drove out of sight. Song Xiaoyu sat on a small bench in the courtyard, wiping his tears with the back of his hand as he cried. He looked extremely sad.
Qin Xiao quickly ran over to comfort him, "Lil' Jiu, Lil' Jiu, I made a roast duck. Do you want to eat it?"
Song Xiaoyu continued to cry.
"Then, shall we go swimming tomorrow?"
He continued to cry.
"Fishing?"
He was still crying.
"Catch shrimps? Fishing? Barbeque? Camping?"
He cried even louder.
Song Wei carried the gold and crispy roast duck over. "Lil' Jiu, it's time to eat."
Song Xiaoyu turned his head to not look at his mom. He pouted his small mouth highly.
