Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Totally Consumed by Son

Yan Han’s bowl of noodles didn’t taste any better just because his son had returned home. He casually gulped down a few mouthfuls, then realizing the taste was off, he put down his chopsticks and propped his elbow on the table, studying his son intently as the little boy ate.

The little boy’s way of eating and his habits were strikingly similar to Zhu Qianying’s, devouring his food at incredible speed, yet mysteriously maintaining composure.

On the contrary, it made those watching feel that this little boy was remarkably easy to care for— absolutely loving every bite of his food!

Yan Han believed, if this little boy and his ’Mommy’ could appear in a gourmet food advertisement together, they would surely be highly persuasive.

"Young Master, do you like the food?"

As a responsible butler, Uncle Hai naturally had to check whether everyone in the family found the food to their liking.

By this time, the little boy had already eaten a big bowl of rice, nibbled down two large chicken wings, consumed half a fish fillet, several pieces of braised ribs, and numerous pieces of different types of vegetables. After eating all these, he gulped down a large bowl of soup.

Upon hearing Uncle Hai’s question, he just put down his soup bowl and, before he could even respond, he let out a satisfactory burp!

Yan Han quickly pat his back, warning, "Don’t eat so fast next time! There’s no rush; no one’s going to take your food!"

Having said this, Yan Han felt a faint sense of déjà vu.

Then, without even thinking, the little boy responded, "It’s just a meal, why waste so much time!"

Upon hearing his son’s response, Yan Han remembered that years before, he had said something similar to Zhu Qianying, and she had responded to him with content similar to his son’s remarks.

Same words, different person.

But the person he was talking to was no longer the same!

Caught off guard by the realization, Yan Han watched his son open the drawer, take out a wet towel, and start to tear it open.

"Hey, Young Master, your grandpa Hai has warm towels here, don’t use those, they’re cold!"

However, the little boy didn’t stop his actions because of Uncle Hai’s intervention. While still tearing the packet, he said, "Grandpa Hai, ’Mommy’ says I am a man, I shouldn’t be pampered and spoiled!"

Uncle Hai didn’t know what to say!

Because, Zhu Qianying’s words were not incorrect.

Undoubtedly, the Yan Family was wealthy, but that did not imply that its children should be raised to be overindulged greenhouse flowers.

Chatting with Uncle Hai, the little boy’s eloquence was once again on full display. It was very clear that the almost zero communication he had with Yan Han was not because he was unable to express himself or was merely reluctant to talk, but because he simply didn’t want to talk to Yan Han.

"’Mommy’ also said that a man should be generous, not fussy, and definitely not petty!"

While the little boy was speaking, his eyes were inadvertently darting over Yan Han.

Even if Yan Han was oblivious to his self-awareness, he was slightly aware that these words of criticism from the little boy were aimed at him.

No, it wasn’t just the boy’s words. The things Zhu Qianying had told their son, were actually covert criticisms of him, the father!

In that moment, he felt a little angry at Zhu Qianying for belittling him, the father, in front of their son.

But on second thought, it was good that she had sent their son back to him. As for anything else, let her say what she wanted.

Besides, most importantly, the things she said were not entirely wrong.

At the very least, he agreed with her statement about a man’s independence.

As for the rest, he decided to withhold judgment for now.

"Baby, Daddy will take you to buy furniture!"

Yan Han hadn’t forgotten the fact that the experienced butler, Uncle Hai, had declared the furniture in the house as hazardous. Therefore, buying new furniture had become an urgent matter.

"No!"

Just as the young master, who had wiped his mouth and hands clean with the wet towel, jumped off the chair and walked out of the dining room shouting, Uncle Hai, a tactful man, quickly followed the little brat out, leaving Yan Han behind to cool off and reflect.

When Yan Han exited the dining room after nursing his wounded pride, he found the little boy half-lying on the sofa, holding the remote control and scrolling through TV programs, his legs hanging off the edge of the sofa, swinging leisurely, and enjoying himself.

Yan Han stood behind the sofa, silently watching his son.

It was his son’s first day back home, and he seemed to have adapted exceptionally well - content with everything, from food to accommodation, and he hadn’t expressed any grievances.

Yan Han hadn’t spent much time with his son yet, but he was able to see from his son’s speech and actions that he was much more mature than other children his age and also much smarter.

Also, his adaptability was remarkable. Up until then, he hadn’t mentioned missing his ’Mommy’ or anything similar.

It wasn’t hard to imagine that before Zhu Qianying had sent him back, she must have had a long talk with him or made some sort of agreement.

Otherwise, given the trust and reliance that the little boy showed towards Zhu Qianying through his words, it wouldn’t have been possible for him to have been sent back willingly without a significant reason.

"Son, where do you want to go? Daddy will accompany you!"

Speaking of which, Yan Han had very little knowledge and understanding of children, and as a result, he couldn’t come up with any idea to win his son’s affection.

Therefore, he directly left the decision up to the little boy.

The young master had been pressing the remote control all this while, probably because he hadn’t found a program to his liking.

But when he heard Yan Han’s question, he stopped his hand. The TV screen showed a group of kids singing and dancing.

"No, I want to watch TV!"

Yan Han was rebuffed once again, but his reaction this time was much calmer, perhaps because he had got used to rejections.

He didn’t know if this was unique to him, or the case for all parents - feeling a bit masochistic in front of their own children!

For example, even though he had been blatantly rejected, Yan Han actually felt that it wasn’t too bad, because at least, it was better than being disregarded completely.

This realization, of not being accustomed to being rejected and then accepting it, came surprisingly quickly.

Just at noon, when he saw the arrogance of his son, he thought of giving him a good spanking.

But now?

Not only did he not have any thoughts of spanking him, but as long as his son was willing to speak to him, even if the conversation content was irritating, he didn’t mind at all!

Yan Han didn’t understand why his own thoughts and attitudes had changed so rapidly. If someone had told him a day earlier that he, Yan Han, would be so accommodating of his own son.

He would definitely have been scornful and ridiculed that person thoroughly.

But in reality, not only had he caved into his son, he had also become masochistic - even though he knew his son ignored him and wished that he would leave him alone, he still audaciously positioned himself in front of the sofa, and sat on the long sofa which he seldom occupied.

"Baby, Daddy will watch it with you!"

The young master turned up the volume to the maximum, either because he didn’t want to listen to what Yan Han was saying, or he wanted to create so much noise that Yan Han would leave on his own.
