Chapter 340 - Parenting Troubles (2)

“Mom.” Ye Zhen busted out laughing. “Zhouzhou is just two years old. What does he know? Stop worrying about this. Even if he wants to be a spoiled brat, Beichuan won’t let that happen.”

Mother Lu remained silent for a little bit and sighed. “That’s why I was thinking. Thinking that…” She took a look at Ye Zhen and smiled. “Do you and Beichuan have any plans for a second child?”

Ye Zhen was taken aback a little, and she blushed right away.

She thought they were talking about Zhouzhou. How did the subject jump to her all of a sudden? Ye Zhen wasn’t sure whether that idea just occurred to Mother Lu or that she had this planned all along.

“Zhenzhen, I am just asking. It’s all up to you.”

Zhouzhou dashed out from god knows where and said, “Is Mommy going to give Zhouzhou a little sister to play with?”

Ye Zhen picked him up and placed him on her lap. “Zhouzhou wants a little sister?”

Zhouzhou cocked his head and thought about it for a little while. “Little brother will be fine too.”

Ye Zhen busted out laughing. “Then, tell Mommy, are you mad at Daddy for spanking you last night?”

Zhouzhou pouted but didn’t say anything.

“Why aren’t you talking? Do you feel that you have done something wrong?”

Zhouzhou nodded silently. “Zhouzhou is not mad at Daddy. It was Zhouzhou’s fault. Zhouzhou shouldn’t have made paper planes.”

“That is incorrect.” Ye Zhen corrected him. “It wasn’t that Zhouzhou shouldn’t make paper planes. It’s that those documents were important to Daddy and you shouldn’t have touched them. If you want to play with paper planes, Mommy will play with you. But you must ask for permission first before you touch someone else’s things. Do you get it now?”

Zhouzhou nodded. “I get it now.”

Ye Zhen gave him a kiss on his cheek. “Good boy!”

Zhouzhou lowered his head and said in a low voice, “Mommy, Zhouzhou was not a good boy last night. Do you think Daddy will not like Zhouzhou anymore?”

Mother Lu couldn’t help but interrupt, “Nonsense. Why would your daddy not like you? Daddy likes you the best.”

Ye Zhen smiled and stroked him on his head. “Exactly, Daddy always likes Zhouzhou a lot. Why would he not?”

“But… last night, Daddy seemed so mad…”

“Then when Daddy comes home tonight, you go and apologize to him and ask him not to be mad anymore. What do you say?”

Zhouzhou looked at Ye Zhen with anticipation in his eyes, “Then.. then Daddy will like me again?”

“Zhouzhou is so smart and cute, of course Daddy always likes you.”

That response made Zhouzhou smile.

When Lu Beichuan came home that night, he was pulled into their bedroom by Ye Zhen immediately, and she repeated Zhouzhou’s earlier words to him.

Ye Zhen stressed repeatedly that, “Go to Zhouzhou’s room in a little bit. Don’t scare him again.”

Lu Beichuan removed his jacket and changed into his casual clothes. “Don’t worry. I know what I am doing.”

Having said that, Lu Beichuan went inside Zhouzhou’s room. Zhouzhou immediately climbed out of his bed when he saw Lu Beichuan. He stood in front of Lu Beichuan quietly, not daring to talk when Lu Beichuan wasn’t talking.

Lu Beichuan picked him up and put him in bed. Zhouzhou lifted his head and took a quick look at him before he quickly lowered his head again. He summoned up his courage, tugged at Lu Beichuan’s clothes, and mumbled, “I’m sorry, Daddy. I was wrong last night. I shouldn’t have made paper planes. Will you forgive me, Daddy?”

After his talk with Ye Zhen, Lu Beichuan had an idea of what was going through Zhouzhou’s mind. He stroked him on his head and said, “Daddy likes paper planes too.”

Zhouzhou looked up and looked at him wide eyed, finding that unbelievable.

Lu Beichuan had a stack of paper in his hand, and he placed them between the two of them. He then pulled one out from the stack and folded it into a beautiful plane in front of Zhouzhou.

“Wow! That’s so pretty!”

Lu Beichuan handed a piece of paper over to Zhouzhou. “Play with Daddy, will you, Zhouzhou?”

Zhouzhou looked at the piece of paper hesitantly, not daring to take it from Lu Beichuan.

He was still young and after being punished for making paper planes, dared not touch it again. He worried that he’d be punished again.
