Chapter 650: What Adults Did (2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Joy blinked at Zhao Youlin for a long while before he finally realized that Zhao Youlin was just teasing him. He snorted and turned around to run angrily. As he ran, he couldn’t stop muttering, “Mom lied! Mom lied! Mom lied and did not bring me out to play!”

Zhao Youlin was once again amused. She took a few steps forward and stretched out her hand to take Joy into her arms. Then, she pulled a long face and said seriously, “Joy, you’re saying such harsh words. I will be sad.”

Although she was very happy that Joy would eventually throw a tantrum just like other children did and vent his dissatisfaction, some things needed to be explained. Otherwise, if she accidentally led the child astray.. she would set a bad example for the child. They would also lose respect from their

children.

‘As expected, when Joy heard that Zhao Youlin would be sad, most of the anger on his face immediately dissipated. He carefully peeked at Zhao Youlin from the corner of his eyes, but it was still difficult for her to admit defeat.

After hesitating for a long time, he asked awkwardly, “Then what did you and dad go out for? Why didn’t you bring me along?”

“Uh.. this..” Zhao Youlin hesitated for a long time, but couldn’t think of a good reason to deceive him.

‘At that moment.. Mu Tingfeng, who had been following Zhao Youlin closely and didn’t say anything, suddenly said, “We didn’t bring you out because what your mom and I went out to do was something that only adults can do. Children can’t do it yet.”

His answer was vague and ambiguous, but it was not a lie. She had indeed gone out on a date with Mu Tingfeng. Dating was indeed something that only adults could do, and things that children could not do, at least not children of Joy’s age.

“Things that adults can do, but children can’t do?” Joy was a little confused by Mu Tingfeng’s words, and he stood where he was and asked foolishly.

“That’s right!” Zhao Youlin quickly followed up, “Joy, you’re still young. There are many things you can do when you’re older. So it’s not that mom and dad didn’t want to take you out to play, but mom and dad have more important things to do than play.”

Joy nodded doubtfully. Knowing her son’s character, Zhao Youlin quickly changed the topic before Joy asked, “What can adults do, but children can’t do?”.

“Joy, we were not at home today. What did you play at home?”

Joy’s attention was easily diverted. He said excitedly, “I played with Mr. Butler and Dudu!”

“Dudu? That Dudu?” Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment. She looked at the old butler who was standing not far away. He had smiled at the couple when they entered through the door.

The old butler saw Zhao Youlin looking at him and immediately took a few steps forward. He smiled and replied, “It was the Miss and the Young Master Sun. They found that you were not at home. Joy wanted to play with Young Master Sun, so he went out with them for a bit. Young Master Sun played

with Joy for a whole day. They took him back after dinner.”

‘When Joy heard the old Butler say this, he immediately responded loudly, “Yes, Mom, it’s the little brother and Aunt Dudu who came to our house to play. Joy played with little brother for a whole day. Just now, when little brother went back, he cried again. I didn’t cry at all!”

Zhao Youlin looked at her son who was very obedient and begging for praise. She almost burst out laughing again. She reached out and scratched Joy’s little nose again. “If you also cried along with him, it would have been really troublesome!”

Joy quickly covered his nose and looked at Zhao Youlin with a guarded look. He complained loudly, “Mom, don’t keep scratching my nose. If this continues, it’s going to be flat.”

“Pfft..” Zhao Youlin could not help but laugh again, but she had to hold it in under her son’s sad gaze. She coughed lightly and reached out to rub Joy’s round head, “You had a little brother to play with you for the entire day, yet you’re still complaining that we did not bring you out to play with us. You’re

really getting better and better!”

Joy straightened his little body proudly and said righteously, “Great-grandfather said that joy is the eldest grandson of the Mu family and the future heir. I can eat anything, but I can never be at a disadvantage.”

Zhao Youlin was speechless. So, this was the root of it all!

Zhao Youlin was speechless when she heard a low laugh behind her. She turned her head and saw the old butler lowering his head and trying hard to suppress his laughter. Mu Tingfeng’s eyes were also filled with the hint of an obvious smile.

Zhao Youlin immediately rolled her eyes at Mu Tingfeng. Her son was about to become a typical second-generation brat, and this guy was still in the mood to laugh.

Mu Tingfeng felt guilty when Zhao Youlin looked at him, so he defended the old master, “Grandfather, there’s nothing wrong with what you said. Our son shouldn’t have been so easily taken advantage of by others.”

Zhao Youlin did not know what to say. What he said was right, but why did it sound so ambiguous? The old master’s words were so ambiguous! Don’t you understand that if you let the old master continue to teach him that way, our cute and innocent Joy will become one of those rich oppressive

youngsters?!

Zhao Youlin covered her face in distress. Just as she was about to say something, her phone suddenly rang.

The sudden ringing of the phone shocked them. Zhao Youlin took out her phone and glanced at it. She gave Mu Tingfeng a look and told him to look after the child first. Then, she stood up and walked to the other side to pick up the phone.

“Hello, brother? What’s the matter? Oh, I got it. Okay, we’ll talk about the rest when we see each other. That’s all for now.”

Zhao Youlin soon hung up the phone and came back. Mu Tingfeng and the others immediately looked at Zhao Youlin.

Mu Tingfeng saw that Zhao Youlin didn’t look good after she came back. He frowned and asked with concer, “What’s wrong? Who called?”

“My brother called. He said..” Zhao Youlin paused for a moment. “An Yue has acknowledged Nie Xingzhi.”

‘Mu Tingfeng was stunned. When he saw Zhao Youlin’s expression, he couldn’t help but ask again, “You’re not happy that An Yue accepted Nie Xingzhi?”

Zhao Youlin bit her lip and said in a muffled voice, “I’m not unhappy. I just think it’s a little too sudden.”

They had long expected An Yue to acknowledge Nie Xingzhi. Although An Qi and An Yue didn’t say it, in their hearts, they still yearned for a father, especially An Yue, who had no parents since she was young, she longed for the love of her parents more than most children.

Zhao Youlin and An Qi knew this, so An Yue acknowledging Nie Xingzhi was only a matter of time.
