Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 397 - 395: How to Raise a Child Before You’re Mature
Jiayi kissed her son on the forehead, "You little glutton, mommy will bring it in for you to eat."
As soon as Jiayi left, Zaizai followed a few steps and then crouched at the corner wall between the living room and the maid’s room, catching sight of the man in the living room.
Bad uncle also got up so early.
Carrying the noodles over, Jiayi saw her son come out and was about to lead him to the maid’s room when Zaizai’s chubby hand pointed out, "I want to eat at the table, mommy and grandma said that it’s polite to eat at the table and that eating in the bedroom is disrespectful to others."
"But that’s not okay," Jiayi hurriedly said. "It’s like that in our own home, but this is someone else’s house."
Zaizai still clutched Jiayi’s hand, turned around to head back to the room, just when a man’s voice came from the dining table:
"Let him come over and eat."
Zaizai cheered and ran to the dining table with his little bowl, struggling with his short legs to climb onto the chair.
Realizing the situation, Jiayi said, "Mr. Huo, isn’t this inappropriate..."
"Your son is right, it’s polite to eat at the table, and eating in the bedroom is indeed disrespectful to others," Huo Zhenyang said with an indifferent tone.
Zaizai, hearing the bad uncle agree, began to eat his noodles with a little silver fork, "Uncle, my mommy is a great cook, especially her noodles. They’re really tasty. You won’t believe it until you try."
Jiayi felt her face heat up; she had not made the noodles, she had only helped a little.
Huo Zhenyang’s eyes curved slightly, with a hint of teasing in his clear eyes as he looked at Jiayi, playing along, "Hmm, your mommy’s noodles are indeed tasty."
What was a perfectly normal statement became something different with that man’s meaningful look!
The more she heard it, the more suggestive it sounded.
Jiayi couldn’t help but think crooked thoughts, her face burning hot.
Still, looking at the peaceful scene of adult and child, she sighed with relief. It seemed bringing Zaizai to the Disheng wasn’t a bad idea after all...
The man seemed to dislike Zaizai less.
At the very least, he no longer bore a grudge about Zaizai scratching his car.
Her son was impressive!
From a young age, Zaizai had a way of winning people’s hearts. Which elderly man or woman in the Fuyah Residential Area wasn’t charmed by this little darling in his pomegranate split-pants?
Thinking this, Jiayi’s mood brightened considerably. Although she didn’t expect him to waive the compensation because he had warmed to Zaizai, so long as he didn’t find fault, allowing her to pay off the compensation smoothly, she was truly grateful.
Just then, Zaizai raised his plump little face, "Mommy, why aren’t you eating?"
Jiayi bent down, "Mommy is working right now and can’t, I’ll eat later."
Zaizai, of course, knew that whether mommy could eat depended entirely on the bad uncle. He turned his gaze toward Huo Zhenyang and said in his baby voice, "Can mommy have breakfast with us? Mommy got up very early today; she must be starving. Working on an empty stomach won’t do."
Here comes the little charmer again.
Huo Zhenyang’s lips slightly curled up as his gaze settled on Jiayi, "Come over and join your little chubby one."
"Yay—" Zaizai cheered, giving his mommy a triumphant look, as if to say, see that? If it weren’t for me, mommy wouldn’t be having breakfast.
Jiayi felt like she was being granted a favor in the form of a breakfast by a lord and his young master. With a rueful smile and seeing the man’s unwavering gaze, she reluctantly fetched a bowl from the kitchen and sat down beside Zaizai.
The breakfast for three passed in a flash.
After cleaning up the dishes, Jiayi carried Xiaobao and started walking out of the villa.
The sky had not yet fully brightened and outside was still utterly silent.
Within the Desheng Villa Area, only the streetlights along the road emitted a faint glow.
The air was cool; having eaten his fill, Zaizai, yet to have his morning sleep, grew drowsy again and snuggled in mommy’s arms. Just as they were about to leave through the doorway, the morning breeze hit, making him sneeze.
Jiayi was afraid he would catch a cold, so she gently patted him, "Let’s go back home and then you can sleep, okay?"
At this time, the earliest morning bus had not yet arrived, so they would have to wait a long time at the bus station, and she was worried her son would catch a cold sleeping there.
The little piggy in her arms grunted, still with his eyes closed.
Jiayi, feeling helpless, wrapped Zaizai up tightly in his clothes. Just as she reached the doorway, she noticed a dark, long shadow standing there.
She paused mid-step, "Mr. Huo, I’m taking Zaizai and leaving first."
Zaizai, hearing Mommy talking to the bad uncle, woke up a bit and, rubbing his sleepy eyes, waved at the bad uncle, "Bye-bye, uncle."
As he spoke, he let out a sneeze, neither too loud nor too soft.
"It’s too early, and it’s a bit cold outside. Don’t sleep; if the wind blows and you catch a cold, you’ll have to get an injection," Jiayi warned, then glanced at Huo Zhenyang again before hurrying out of the villa.
When they arrived at the bus station, sure enough, it wasn’t yet time for the buses to start running.
The dawn sky still held a few sparse stars, mist was falling, and the streetlights were dim.
In the chilly breeze, Jiayi held Zaizai tightly, waiting for the first morning bus.
She had never imagined that she would spend the night at Disheng, and with Zaizai at that.
Time ticked away slowly, and the bus was yet to arrive, but the cold woke Zaizai, and he sneezed again.
Just then, a beam of orange light cut through the dim sky and shone over them.
A black car slowly approached and stopped beside mother and child.
The driver’s window quietly slid down.
Jiayi was surprised, "Mr. Huo?"
The man’s face remained impassive, like a lifeless sculpture, his handsome and deep eyes directed at the two of them, "Get in the car; I’m going to work too."
Why would he be going to work so early? It’s just after five in the morning.
Never mind that, as long as there’s a ride out of here, it’s fine.
Still, Jiayi said, "But Mr. Huo, I need to make a stop at Fuyah Residential Area first to drop off Zaizai..."
Huo Zhenyang’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if he was getting impatient.
Jiayi immediately understood his intention; he had agreed to give her and Xiaobao a ride home. Overjoyed, she hurriedly got into the car with Zaizai and sat down in the front passenger seat.
Huo Zhenyang’s eyelids twitched, and he glanced at the little woman with displeasure, "Sit in the back."
Sit in the back? Wasn’t that treating him like a driver? Jiayi was taken aback.
Huo Zhenyang’s brows furrowed, "My car doesn’t have a child safety seat. You and the little fatty should sit together in the back."
Toddlers shouldn’t sit in the front passenger seat; it can be dangerous. Don’t you have that basic safety awareness?
This young woman, so immature herself, how is she raising a child?
He truly wondered how she managed to be a mother.
And what was even more perplexing, he didn’t understand why he too was worried about her. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Jiayi certainly knew that sitting in the front with a toddler was dangerous. Was she supposed to sit in the back with her child and treat him as the driver? With this man’s temper, if he got angry, what then?
Hearing him take the initiative to suggest it, Jiayi didn’t stand on ceremony and moved with Zaizai to the back seat.
Once Zaizai settled into the spacious back seat, his sleepiness vanished, and he stretched, "It’s so warm here."
