"You want to say that again?" Xu Jiayan frowned, his face incredulous as he looked at Lin Wan in front of him.
He just went out for two additional classes, and he came back to find himself with a wife?
Did she forget how old her own son is this year?
Lin Wan couldn't help feeling guilty; it did indeed seem a bit unfair to the poor kid.
Well… she forgot to ask for his opinion.
The main thing was, the kid wasn't there at the time, right?
So, it wasn't that she didn't ask; she simply couldn't!
Right, so it wasn't her fault...
She was a mother after all; she couldn't let her son bluff her.
Lin Wan quickly regained her confidence and told her son, "You asked for it yourself, and now that you know, naturally you should take care of your own wife."
"Moreover, look, Yuanyuan really likes you; she stopped crying the moment you came back!" If she had known how useful the little rascal was, she would have brought him home sooner.
So, what does this have to do with him?
Xu Jiayan: "I disagree!" He would never accept things like child betrothal.
And also,
"Why me?" Did she forget that she has another son?
Lin Wan: "Of course, there's an order to these things. It wouldn't be appropriate for your younger brother to step over you. Otherwise, what if you blame me for favoring him in the future?"
Thanks, but he won't.
"Besides, your brother doesn't seem as smart as you. I'm worried that your Aunt Qingyun might not approve of him as a son-in-law, so I chose you."
They say the eldest child is always the silliest and the second one cunning, but in his family, it was the other way around, with the second child being completely overshadowed by the eldest.
At this moment, Xu Family's younger son, who had been taken out for a swim by the nanny, was joyfully arching his little body in the water and suddenly sneezed loudly.
Seeing this, the nervous nanny said, "Could it be that the water is too cold? Should we stop swimming and go home, Young Master Two?"
"No, I'm not done playing yet!" The little guy decisively refused, skillfully flipped in the water, and turned his back to the nanny.
"Big Young Master's school is almost over, don't you want to go home and play with your brother?" the nanny coaxed with a smile.
"Alright!" Mention of his brother finally made the little guy stop his cheerful antics and obediently rest by the poolside, allowing the fragrant-smelling auntie to lift him from the pool.
Meanwhile, at home,
Xu Jiayan looked speechless.
Should he feel proud?
"I disagree, send her back immediately."
Initially, he only thought this little meatball was noisy, but now, he found everything about her annoying.
He couldn't stand her presence even a minute longer.
"That won't do. I've said, her parents are away on a business trip, she needs to stay at our house during this period." Lin Wan's attitude was also very firm.
As for the little rascal's opinion, it wasn't important!
Xu Jiayan: "Then you figure it out yourself, but don't expect me to babysit." With that, he tossed the little human meatball onto the sofa, ignoring how it might tug painfully at his own ears.
Just as he was about to head to his room, he suddenly felt a tight grip on his leg.
Xu Jiayan looked down and saw the little girl had risen from the couch, grabbing his trouser leg, attempting to climb up with her wet, big eyes, and in a soft voice said, "Brother, hug!"
"Look, your sister is calling you."
Since taking over the little bundle, Lin Wan, having only heard cries before, heard the little girl talk for the first time and looked at her son with a face full of excitement and encouragement.
Xu Jiayan thought, what does this have to do with him?
With a cold face, he pulled his leg out of the little girl's hand…
