Chapter 248 - Joy’s New Friends (2)
Chapter 248: Joy’s New Friends (2)
Before Ling Ran recovered from the fact that his four-year-old niece had molested a virtuous boy at such a young age, the girl chatted again as if no one was around her.
“Joy is not only cute, but he’s also very polite. He’s completely different from the little monkeys who know no manners at all.”
‘You’re no better than those little monkeys, okay? If they are monkeys, you are the monkey king!’
Ling Ran fell speechless for some time. He sucked in a deep breath, and he looked at the little one seriously. He said, “Ling Yuemei, I’m warning you. Don’t do anything outrageous in the kindergarten anymore. This is your seventh kindergarten. If they complain about you once again, no kindergarten could take you in anymore!”
“I know, I know. You nag like an old lady. No wonder you’re still unmarried even today,” Ling Yuemei shook her hand nonchalantly, and she gave a blow to Ling Ran’s heart by sounding it like a simple issue.
Ling Ran felt a sharp pain in his heart. The little beast in his chest was about to spit fire. For who’s sake a tall, sturdy and manly man like him had become so naggy?! ‘How dare you have the guts to say this?! Your parents could tolerate you, but as your uncle, I could bear no more!’
“Ling Yuemei!”
Ling Ran gritted his teeth and shouted at the little one whose height was below his knees. She did not seem to be terrified. She looked up at him innocently, and she stared at him with her clear eyes. She said, “Uncle, did I say anything wrong? I’m just speaking the truth. You know, good advice is always displeasing to the ears. You can’t commit domestic violence against me just because I’ve spoken the truth. Only an unworthy scoundrel would do that!”
“You should watch fewer period dramas and family ethics dramas in the future!”
Ling Yuemei glared at him indifferently. She stretched out her small hands and touched Ling Ran’s kneecap. She said smugly, “Uncle, don’t be sad. My parents and grandparents would not hate you just because you’re still unmarried. Even if you remain a bachelor for the rest of your life, we would still love you. Kiss…”
Ling Ran fell speechless.
“Speaking of which, not only is Joy cute, but even his mother is also very pretty. Uncle, if you want to look for a wife in the future, you have to look for someone like Joy’s mother. With that, your children will inherit their mother’s genes, and they will be as adorable as Joy! I want a younger brother who is as cute as Joy. Uncle, quickly go and find an aunt and give birth to a younger brother for me by tomorrow!”
Ling Ran thought to himself, ‘My dear little niece, how could you simply speak or act on hearsay? What do you mean by giving birth to a younger brother by tomorrow? Do you think looking for a wife and giving birth to a child could be done within a day?! You can’t poison my mind just because Big Brother and my sister-in-law did not give birth to a younger brother or sister for you to play with!
‘On top of that, why must the children inherit their mother’s genes to look as adorable as Joy?! Inheriting genes from their father like me is the best, okay?!
There were too many bad points. He wondered how he should vomit them out!
Ling Ran felt speechless. Just then, he heard Ling Yuemei pointed at a private sedan while shouting, “Uncle, look! There’s Joy and his mother!”
Ling Ran instinctively looked in the direction where Ling Yuemei was pointing, only to see Zhao Youlin was holding Joy as they got into the car. His pupils shrank. She was…
Meanwhile, Ling Yuemei did not notice Ling Ran’s odd expression. She happily pulled Ling Ran’s sleeve, and she said, “Did you see them? Did you see them? Uncle, you have to find a wife that looks like Joy’s mother!”
Ling Ran thought to himself, ‘My dear little niece, I could find all the women, except her. If I were to look for a woman who looks exactly like her, your Uncle Ye would be the first to kill me!’
Ling Ran cast a look at his niece who had set him up, speechless. Then, he turned around, and he saw the disappearing car. A hint of profoundness flashed across his eyes.
Meanwhile, the mother-son pair had no idea at all that they were the topic of someone else’s discussion. They were sitting in the car and happily discussing the events that happened in school. However, before this…
“Eh, Mommy, where’s uncle…?” The moment Joy got into the car, he sensed something unusual. He was staring at Xiao Jingyao who was sitting in the driver’s seat curiously with his bright and clear eyes.
Zhao Youlin froze. She never thought Joy would ask about this, and she hurriedly said, “He’s Granduncle Xiao. Have you forgotten that he has visited our house several times before?”
Xiao Jingyao was of the same generation as Zhao Shunrong. Addressing him as his granduncle would not make him sound too old.
Joy bit his little finger and thought over it for a while. He nodded, and he obediently called him, “Granduncle Xiao.”
Looking at such an adorable and polite child, the cold hard lines around his face unwittingly softened. He replied to him, “Nice to meet you, Joy.”
Joy lunged into Zhao Youlin’s arms shyly. After a while, he seemed to have thought of something. He asked in a low voice, “Mommy, where’s the previous uncle?”
Zhao Youlin paused her hand motion. She caressed Joy’s head, and she said, “Uncle has some family issues. So, he has already gone home. Granduncle Xiao will be fetching us for the next few days, okay?”
Joy did not feel any suspicion. He nodded obediently, “Okay!”
Zhao Youlin seized the opportunity to switch the topic, “Joy, did you have fun in the kindergarten today?”
“Yes, yes!” Indeed, Joy nodded as he looked at Zhao Youlin with his rosy face.
Zhao Youlin could not help but smile when she saw his excitement. She reached out and pinched his small nose. She said, “Tell me about your friends. What games did you play with them today?”
“Mhm… They are my new friends. This morning, Tubby is the plump boy, and he played building blocks with me. Mommy, he’s great. He could build a lot of big houses without them falling down.”
“That’s great! Joy, you have to learn from him so that you could build a lot of houses for me, okay?”
“Okay. I also made friends with Pea. He’s a skinny boy. He’s also very great. He could assemble a nice car. I… I also want one… Mommy, could I?”
This was Joy’s second time taking the initiative to ask something from Zhao Youlin. Of course, his first time was when he asked for Sparta. Zhao Youlin naturally did not refuse him. Not only did she not refuse him, but she also felt very happy.
It looked like the decision of taking him to the kindergarten had been the right call. At least, he knew how to express his thoughts. Unlike previously, he was always insecure with everything, and he did not dare to ask anything from her.
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll buy it with you when I’m free during the weekend. Joy, you could have various types of toy cars. After you buy them, Grandma and I will accompany you to assemble the car.”
“Okay, okay!”
