Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 393 - 391: I Have Mommy, I Fear No One

Jiayi looked toward the big bed, where the pristine white bedsheets were filled with large and small, overlapping turtles...

Turtles!

That style of drawing, even if she didn’t admit it was Zaizai’s doing, there was no denying it!

Her anger vanished in an instant, replaced by guilt, and she quickly hugged her son tight, afraid he would continue to scold her: "Zaizai doesn’t know any better, he’s just over three years old, maybe..."

"Maybe he’s a dimwit who accidentally wandered into my room and then mistook my bedsheets for a canvas, is that it? If that’s the case, I could forgive the little guy." Huo Zhenyang’s voice was frosty with sarcasm.

A three-year-old child? He hadn’t seen anything about this kid that seemed like he was three, from start to finish!

"Zaizai is not a dimwit!" Jiayi bit her lip, her face stiffening: "Anyway, I’ll wash the bedsheets clean. At most, I’ll compensate you with a new set of sheets, how much could it cost."

She was already carrying so much debt, what’s the cost of one more bedsheets.

Wash the bedsheets? Compensation? This young woman really didn’t know how to teach a child.

Seeing mommy’s protection, Zaizai clung tighter to his mom’s neck, his face donning an "I have mommy, I fear no one" expression.

Huo Zhenyang’s eyes narrowed, a chilly mood settling on his face: "Besides compensation and washing the sheets, don’t you think your son should apologize?"

Apologize?

Jiayi was stunned, her son who had been spoiled by her and grandma since birth had never apologized. Usually, Zaizai was well-behaved and hadn’t made any mistakes, but ever since this man appeared, Zaizai kept making one mistake after another, fearing she would be bullied by him.

Zaizai sensed something was off and gripped mommy’s neck tighter, meekly calling out, "Mommy..."

Jiayi’s heart softened even more: "Mr. Huo, let’s just forget it."

"A man that doesn’t dare to utter an apology, what can he achieve? Wants to stand up for mommy and protect her?" Huo Zhenyang sneered lightly.

Zaizai’s chubby cheeks moved, and he immediately struggled in mommy’s arms, bravely saying, "If I need to apologize, I’ll apologize. Put me down!"

Jiayi gave a wry smile and let down her son.

Zaizai with his hands on his hips, took responsibility and said, "I was the one who drew turtles on the bedsheets, I was wrong, and I will never do it again."

It was the first time Jiayi heard her son apologize, like a little man, and she was overwhelmed with excitement. She squatted down and planted a big kiss on her son: "Zaizai is really good, awesome."

Huo Zhenyang’s handsome face tightened slightly. Was this the way to treat a child who made a mistake? If one didn’t know any better, they would think the little tyke had just won a prize, not committed a fault.

"Mr. Huo, I’ll go and wash the sheets for you, and I’ll replace them with a new set later," Jiayi signaled for him to get up temporarily.

Huo Zhenyang’s brows knitted together but he said nothing, walked over to the clothes rack, and casually took down a white cotton bathrobe to drape over himself, then sat down on the Italian leather sofa.

Jiayi lifted the messily drawn-on bedsheets, picked them up, and, with Zaizai, started walking out, a tinge of worry crossing her face. While walking, she lowered her voice and couldn’t help but say:

"...Zaizai, why do you only ever draw turtles? Mommy and grandma have taught you so many animals, so why can you only draw one kind?"

Could her son have a learning difficulty?

Although her voice was soft, every word she uttered reached the man’s ears without missing a beat.

Huo Zhenyang’s face darkened, initially thinking the woman would take this opportunity to educate her son in private. But what the young woman was actually concerned about was—

The turtles were badly drawn!

Was spoiling a child like this really okay?

Meanwhile, Jiayi had already grabbed the sheets and led Zaizai out.

"I’m going downstairs now." Zaizai said, wriggling his little chubby legs, ready to leave.

Jiayi looked at her son and sighed without knowing why.

She knew that she was overly protective and indulgent of Zaizai, not exactly a competent mother who knew how to educate a child, but it was because she pitied Zaizai for growing up without a father.

The children in other families enjoyed outings with their mom and dad every weekend, while Zaizai only had his mommy and grandma to take him to the amusement park.

Since Zaizai had become more sensible and realized he was different from other kids, without a daddy, he no longer insisted on going to the amusement park every week.

Zaizai was also very obedient, trying not to get sick because he knew that when other children were ill, their families could take turns caring for them. But with his grandma working and only his mommy to look after him when he was sick, it would be very tiring.

For this reason, Zaizai’s emotional intelligence was much higher than that of his peers from a young age.

She understood that Zaizai always wanted to grow up quickly, to become a man, so he could protect himself and his mommy.

In such feelings of indebtedness and guilt, how could Jiayi blame Zaizai even if he did something wrong?

When Zaizai scratched his car a while ago, Jiayi didn’t have the heart to scold Xiaobao; but today was different, and she decided it was time to talk to Zaizai.

Zaizai almost got hurt by that man. If Zaizai continued to be fearless and provoke him, and really angered the man, what would she do if Zaizai got hurt?

In the eyes of that man, there was no difference between adults and children.

If he was angered, he probably wouldn’t show mercy, even to a child.

Just thinking about it, Jiayi broke out in a cold sweat.

No, she had to make Zaizai aware that he could not continue to offend that man.

Jiayi crouched down, "What happened today must not happen again, do you hear me? Uncle Huo saw that we are a mother and child alone, didn’t want to bother with us, and also gave mommy a chance to repay the debt, but if you provoke him like this again and really annoy him, mommy might not even have the chance to pay back the money, and then I could be sued and end up in jail..."

Zaizai saw the hidden worries in his mommy’s eyes, blinked his eyelashes, and spoke with slightly softened tone, "Is the bad uncle really angry?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Mommy will go smooth things over and it should be all right. Don’t provoke him anymore, listen to mommy, okay?"

Zaizai nodded his head in a very timely manner, "I understand."

Jiayi touched her son’s head affectionately and went to the washroom with the sheets first.

Zaizai, with his backpack on, bounced down the stairs, sat on the sofa, and flipped through a picture book, only to hear footsteps descending from upstairs.

Turning his head back, he saw the bad uncle coming down.

With the old sheets from the bedroom taken to be washed and the new ones not yet put on—and the recent commotion—Huo Zhenyang no longer felt like sleeping and had come down.

As he reached the middle of the staircase, he caught sight of that troublesome kid, and his just-improved complexion slightly collapsed again. He walked straight to the center of the first-floor sofa, picked up a business tablet at random, and started reading emails, treating the troublesome kid as if he were thin air.

Zaizai quietly observed, the bad uncle seemed really angry.

If the bad uncle got angry, would he really sue mommy and make her go to jail?

He didn’t want mommy to go to jail...

Zaizai put down the picture book and walked over.
