Once Mo Yang had managed to successfully court his childhood sweetheart, he doted on her in all kinds of ways. He had originally returned because Great-grandfather and Great-grandma were so old and wanted to see him. He was also managing many things at work as Mo Beihan had almost retired.
But now that he was in love, he changed completely.
He threw all his work at Mo Beihan while he focused on spending time with his girlfriend.
When Chu Yue went to school, he went to the Chu house early to send her to school. When her last class for the day was over, he was at the school gate to meet her. Chu Yue liked to draw and design, so he drew with her and went to art exhibits with her. He was busy all the time, giving his girlfriend all kinds of presents and surprises!
Mo Beihan, who had enjoyed a leisurely life for the past few years, was filled with resentment.
âWhat is this Yang Yang doing? Heâs so young, but he doesnât work hard. All he does is play. Yao Yao, weâve spent so much time grooming him. Tell me, whatâs the point of raising him? Heâs not helpful at all. Iâm so old, but I still have to earn money to support him.â
Gu Qingyao glanced at him and said coldly, âAre you saying the son I gave you is no good?â
Mo Beihan: ââ¦â
âI didnât, I definitely didnât. Of course any child you give me is good. Look at Second Son and Little Sweetheart. Theyâre so mature, arenât they?â
Gu Qingyao ignored him. Over the years, she could tell how much Mo Beihan doted on his children. Mo Yang had been absolutely adored since his birth. When he was a child, Mo Beihan had practically brought him everywhere and taught him.
Mo Beihan had spent no less effort on this eldest son than any of them. He clearly cared greatly for this son, but he would never admit it. He refused to stop competing with his son.
Childish!
Gu Qingyao placed the soup she had made on the table. Mo Beihan quickly came over. âIs this for me? Yao Yao, youâre still the one who loves me. Iâve been working such long hours every day, I need proper nourishment. That bratâ¦â
As he spoke, he took up his spoon to drink it.
But Gu Qingyao angrily said, âThis is for Yang Yang. The child has been living overseas for so many years, but now that heâs back, you donât know how to care for him? Youâre always criticizing Yang Yang. You had better watch your step if you carry on like that!â
Mo Beihan was displeased. âSince when did I criticize him? Iâm just stating the facts. Yao Yao, youâre my wife. In a marriage, the relationship between husband and wife is the most important, and the relationship between parent and child is secondary. Iâm the most important man in your life. You cannot dote on other men more than me, not even on Yang Yang!â
Gu Qingyao: ââ¦ââ
She was floored. She said, âHow old are you? Are you still competing with your son?â
Mo Beihan said pitifully, âYouâre my wife. He has his own wife. Why do you need to dote on him? I work so hardâ¦â
Gu Qingyao: ââ¦ââ
âMother, Iâm back!â
As they were speaking, Mo Yangâs voice could be heard in the living room. His voice was happy, carefree and pleasant, reflecting his good mood.
Gu Qingyao immediately smiled. âYang Yang, youâre back! Come here and try the soup I made for you. Is it nice? All the dishes here are your favorite!â
Mo Yang had spent all day with Chu Yue having fun and was in an extremely good mood!
He sat down and took the bowl that Gu Qingyao handed to him. He took a sip and smiled, âMother, your cooking just keeps getting better.â
Gu Qingyao immediately beamed. âHave more if you like it. In the future, I will make soup for you every day.â
âGreat! Thank you, Mother!â
Mo Beihan ground his teeth. âI want soup too!â
