My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Little Crybaby!-Chapter 81: I Have a Hunch That You’re Asking for a Beating
The three beside them got a mouthful of unexpected dog food.
"Aunt Wan and Uncle Xu’s affection for each other is so strong!" Jiang Yuan’s eyes shone, her gem-like big and beautiful eyes staring unblinkingly at the two, her little face brimming with excitement from receiving a serving of ’dog food’.
In her memory, both her mom and dad were always busy, rarely taking her out to play together. Dad was always busy till late before coming home, and Mom always looked busy and tired.
It was rare for them both to be at home together, but even then, they mostly did their own things.
They seldom argued in front of her, but also rarely showed the sort of love Aunt Wan and Uncle Xu did, sometimes even just a look between them could be filled with love.
Just like now.
At any time and place, one could get hit by dog food.
Xu Jiayan had been watching this scene for over a decade and was already immune to it. He didn’t even lift his eyelid, his eyes only on the skewers in his hands.
To him, their ’dog food’ wasn’t as important as the grilled eggplant the little girl wanted to eat.
It was Xu Jinyan who suddenly chimed in: "Don’t you think my dad is just a lapdog?"
After saying that, he suddenly realized the surroundings had gone quiet, and two contrasting gazes -- one cold, one warm -- landed on him.
Xu Jinyan blinked, glancing at Xu Jiayan and Jiang Yuan: "Why are you looking at me like that?" Had he said something wrong?
His mom had been spoiled rotten by his dad, almost becoming a queen in their house, an empress. She was always decisive, every day either hitting or scolding him.
His dad just cared about spoiling his wife, always trying to please her, without considering the kind of life his own son was leading.
If that wasn’t being a lapdog, what was?
Jiang Yuan put on a serious little face and said, "I’ve got a feeling you’re asking for a beating."
"What do you mean?" Was this girl now into fortune-telling?
The next second, the little girl had already shouted out loud in the direction of Xu Annian: "Uncle Xu, Yanyan said you’re a lapdog, what does that mean?"
Xu Jinyan: ...
Xu Annian’s face stiffened, and Lin Wan immediately turned grim, getting up to search for a handy tool: "You little rascal, seems like your hide is itching for a beating again."
Young Master Xu stared in horror at Jiang Yuan.
His brain froze the moment he heard her: Who am I? Where am I? What did I hear?
Only when he saw Lin Wan’s face darkened as she pulled out a thorny rose stem did his small body shiver, and he decided to run for it, shouting as he sprinted, "Jiang Xiaoyuan, you’re framing me."
Was she so vindictive just for a few skewers? After all the years of companionship, how could she turn on him so quickly?
Jiang Yuan sneakily made a face at him.
The skewers Brother Yan especially made for her were not something to be taken lightly.
Having eaten hers, he deserved a lesson.
Soon after, wailing could be heard from Young Master Xu in the villa.
Xu Jiayan looked down at the little girl and said, "Mischievous!"
The little girl blinked innocently, looking up at him with a guileless expression: "Brother Yan, should Yuanyuan not have asked that question?"
Xu Jiayan: "No, that kid really deserves a beating."
Jiang Yuan glanced towards the villa, just in time to hear Young Master Xu crying out, "Mom, Mom, I was wrong, I won’t say my dad is a lapdog again."
Jiang Yuan: ...
Never seen anyone so prone to trouble.
She shrunk her little head and looked seriously at Xu Jiayan: "Brother Yan, let’s grill some extra nice food for Jinyan, so his bottom won’t hurt after eating."
Xu Jiayan silently said, "Okay!"
