Chapter 220

220 Provocation

After a long while, Shuo Shuo finally looked up at Le Yao, but his little hand was tightly gripping the doll in his hand.

“Come on, Mommy will take you home.” Le Yao continued to coax him carefully.

The little guy’s eyes were especially big because he was very skinny. At this moment, they slowly lit up. Then, he stretched out his small hand tentatively. “Mommy...”

“Yes.” Le Yao smiled and hugged her. “Let’s go home.”

The little guy wrapped his arms around Le Yao’s neck and finally smiled.

The procedures were all handled by Nangong Jue, so Le Yao was in charge of carrying him out.

“Young Madam.” Zheng Ruyu followed her out. “If you need anything in the future, just look for me.”

“Even if you didn’t say it, I would.” Le Yao nodded. “After all, you’re a professional in psychological counseling. Professional matters naturally have to be handed over to professionals.”

Zheng Ruyu smiled. “Alright, because of work, my phone is usually turned on 24 hours a day.” As she spoke, she secretly glanced at the man beside her and took two steps back.

Nangong Jue personally opened the car door and waited for Le Yao to get into the car with the child in her arms before closing the door. He walked around to the other side and got into the car. However, when he saw the little guy nestled in Le Yao’s arms, he suddenly felt a little jealous. His wife’s arms should have been his, but in the end...

‘Young brat, you’re still young now. When you’re older, I’ll spank you.’

Perhaps because Nangong Jue’s gaze was too intense, Shuo Shuo twisted his body uneasily and looked up. Although his expression was timid, he stubbornly refused to look away.

After a while, the little guy suddenly pouted and cried. Then, he began to punch and kick.

“What’s wrong?” Le Yao hurriedly hugged the little guy tightly and patted his back gently. “Mommy’s here. Don’t cry...”

The little guy finally calmed down slowly, but his body was still twitching. He looked very pitiful.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry...” Le Yao continued to gently pat the little guy’s body. “Shuo Shuo is the most obedient...”

The little guy finally calmed down completely.

Le Yao exhaled. She was sweating from this ordeal. It was more tiring than a fight. The days ahead might be even more tiring, but she had no regrets.

“Let me carry him.” Nangong Jue reached out.

The little guy shrank into Le Yao’s arms.

“No need.” Le Yao shook her head, then turned to look at him. “Why did you scare him just now?”

“I did not.”

Le Yao rolled her eyes. “Do you think I’m blind?”

“I really didn’t.” Nangong Jue shook his head firmly and denied it. “Why would I scare a brat? Besides, he’s sick. How would I dare?” As he spoke, he looked at the little guy and realized that the little thing was also looking at him.

For some reason, he actually realized the provocation in the other party’s eyes... Was he crazy? A two-year-old brat dared to provoke him?

“You’re still looking!” Le Yao sensed the little guy cowering and turned to look at Nangong Jue. Then, she patted the back of the front seat. “Hei, stop the car.”

“What?” Nangong Jue glared.

“Sit in front.” Le Yao gestured.

Hei Ying glanced at his boss in the rearview mirror. Should he stop or not?

“Alright, I’m not looking at him anymore.” Nangong Jue hurriedly waved his hand. “I’m looking at you!” What was there to see about a brat? He wasn’t as good-looking as his wife.
