Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful - Chapter 842
Chapter 842: Vying For Favor (2)
Han Yichen and the others naturally showed up for Zhao Youlin’s child’s full-moon gift.
An Yue couldn’t help but praise Zhao Youlin when she saw the chubby child in her arms. “Youlin, your child is growing too fast, isn’t it? My child is a few months older, but they’re of the same size!”
Zhao Youlin patted her baby’s buttocks and said with a smile, “This one eats quite a lot. Usually, he eats almost as much as Joy. In just a month, he has gained a few pounds.”
“That’s great,” Su He said enviously as soon as Zhao Youlin finished speaking, “My two naughty children are picky eaters. They don’t like to eat. If they could be as obedient as yours, it would save us a lot of trouble.”
Zhao Youlin smiled faintly and said nothing. She quickly changed the topic and said, “Speaking of which, why didn’t the two of you bring the children over? There are many children here, it could have been lively.”
“Don’t talk about them. Those two little kings in my family have been causing a lot of trouble all day. I’m worried that they will only cause more trouble if they are here. There are so many people here, and it’s not good to ruin the mood because of the two children.” Su He sighed helplessly as she spoke. “I don’t know who the two children took after. They like to cause trouble at such a young age, and it’s probably even harder to manage them when they grow up.”
Zhao Youlin heard Su He’s complaints. Although she called it a complaint, her tone hid unmistakable joy and happiness.
She was troubled, but happy. Perhaps this was the best portrayal of being a parent. She was clearly helpless and had all kinds of headaches because of the children, but she loved them all the same and was happy.
An Yue heard what Su He said and quickly explained herself, “The child has been restless all day. Before we prepared to come, he was so tired that he fell asleep, so we didn’t bring him here.”
Zhao Youlin nodded and followed the others to their seats.
…
When Joy saw Zhao Youlin sit down, he immediately slid off his chair and ran to Zhao Youlin’s side to touch his younger brother.
When the others saw Joy’s actions, they couldn’t help but laugh. “That is such a great big brother.”
Joy did not even try to deny it when he heard this. He nodded his head in agreement and said, “I’ll be the best brother for him. I like him the most.”
Zhao Youlin burst into laughter. She stretched out her hand and tapped Joy’s nose. She said with a dejected expression, “Didn’t you say that you like me the most? It’s only been a few days, and now you like your little brother the most. I am so sad.”
When Joy heard what Zhao Youlin said, he immediately became anxious. He said loudly, “I like mom too.”
So he liked, her, but she was no longer his favorite. Zhao Youlin could easily read the hidden meaning behind her son’s words. On one hand, she was happy that the two children had such a harmonious relationship, but on the other hand, she was a little jealous. He was her own child… she had spent the most time with him. He had only been with his younger brother for less than a month, but he had already “fallen in love” with him!
Zhao Youlin had to admit that she was jealous. Moreover, the person she was jealous of was her youngest son.
While Joy put on a serious “adult” look, the adults found it really interesting, so they asked the second question.
“Joy, you have so many younger peers now. Who is your favorite?”
Joy was stunned when he heard this. Without any hesitation, he said loudly, “Of course, I like my younger brother the most!” As he said this, he seemed to be afraid that they would not believe her. She moved closer to the child and kissed his little face.
The little boy seemed to sense his brother’s love. He giggled and revealed the cute dimples on both sides of his cheeks.
The few of them were amused by the interaction between the two children. They teased, “Joy really loves his little brother!”
“Hahaha, that’s right, that’s right. It’s true love!”
While the few of them were laughing and laughing happily, the atmosphere was harmonious. Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the door, “Brother Joy, Brother Joy…”
The few of them stopped laughing and turned around to look at the source of the sound. They were not surprised to see Su Qing and her husband walking over together.
In front of them, a well-dressed little boy rushed to Joy’s side like a small cannonball. He hugged Joy’s waist and did not let go. When he was close, he even snuggled into Joy’s arms. He looked happy and intoxicated.
Su Qing looked at her son’s wretched actions, and the corner of her mouth twitched. She rolled her eyes helplessly.
Her own son treated her as a flower vase. This little ingrate!
Su Qing sat beside Su He and looked at her son. She said helplessly, “I’m sorry. I don’t know what’s wrong with this little bastard. He doesn’t care about other children, but when it comes to Joy, he goes nuts. He can’t be pulled away.”
“All children are like that.”
Su He and the others looked at Dudu hugging Joy tightly and not letting go. They could not help but think of teasing him.
Su He bent down and stared at Dudu’s large eeyes. She smiled and said, “Do you like Big Brother Joy?”
Dudu answered without thinking, “I like him the most.”
Su Qing could not bear to look at him and covered her eyes. Su He continued, “But your Big Brother Joy just said that he likes this little brother of his the most.”
As expected, when Dudu heard that Joy did not like him the most, his small body trembled. Then, he looked at Joy with some resentment. The tears in his eyes began to roll, ready to flood at any time.
After playing with Dudu for so long, Joy knew very well that every time the child was like this, he would cry. He quickly said, “I like Dudu too.”
Dudu’s rolling tears were slightly restrained, but he also knew that Joy had only said that he liked him, not the most, but what he wanted was the most.
With this thought, Dudu suddenly turned his head to look at the beloved baby and snorted arrogantly.
Although the baby doll in Zhao Youlin’s arms was still immature, when he received Dudu’s provocative gaze, he actually stretched out its hand towards Joy and cried out.
When Joy heard his younger brother calling out, his attention was immediately drawn over. He stretched out his hand and was about to grab his younger brother’s hand.
Dudu’s expression became more and more unsightly when he saw this. He let go of Joy’s waist and hugged Joy’s arm, staring at the child with wide eyes.
Joy was tragically sandwiched between the two of them. One hand was tightly hugged by Dudu, while the other stretched out towards his little brother. His big eyes were filled with helplessness as he looked on.
The baby kept screaming, while the other widened his eyes as if he wanted to scare the baby off.
The few adults were stunned by the actions of those three children. After they reacted, they could not help but laugh.
“Pfft, are these two children starting to vie for favors?” The adults looked at Joy, who was squeezed in the middle and unable to move. They really did not know whether to laugh or cry.
