Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Laugh again, and I’ll eat you

Zhu Qianying’s left arm was injured, but even so, Chen Jing prepared a large bowl and spoon for her.

Baby Boy sat on the side, holding his chin as he watched her eat, while Yan wore an occasional glance at Zhu Qianying, his fingers clicked away on the laptop placed on the other side of the dining table.

After watching Zhu Qianying eat for a while, the little guy unexpectedly jumped off his chair and ran out.

Both Yan and Zhu Qianying looked at each other bewildered, both clueless about what was going on in the little one’s head.

In a blink of an eye, the little boy ran back in, and without saying a word, dragged a chair behind Zhu Qianying and climbed up onto it.

"Baby, what are you up to?"

Even at this point, Zhu Qianying had no idea what Baby Boy intended to do.

The little boy reached out his chubby hand, and inserted his fingers into her hair. He spoke as he combed through her long hair using his hand as a comb.

"Mommy hurt her hand and can’t tie her hair, right? Baby Boy will help you, otherwise, you’ll end up eating your hair while eating!"

As he chatted away like an old mother, the little boy skillfully untangled her hair, took a rubber band from his wrist, and neatly pulled and adjusted it into a ponytail for Zhu Qianying.

The little guy’s unexpected skills left Yan, who was seated opposite them, almost choking on his tea. His robust self-confidence, which had been unshaken for the past thirty-three years, now seemed on the verge of collapse like a rickety building in a storm.

Could it be that he was getting outdone by his own four-year-old son?

Zhu Qianying took in Yan’s astonished and embarrassed expression and couldn’t help but suppress her laughter. Consequently, most of the inconvenience and pain she had experienced due to her injured hand seemed to lighten significantly.

It took a while for Yan to recover from the shock. Seeing Zhu Qianying’s face turning red from trying not to laugh, his face turned even redder. He decided to try and salvage some of his dignity.

"Baby, you’re amazing! Who taught you to tie your mommy’s hair in a ponytail? Was it your grandma? Or did mommy teach you?"

His implication was to tell Zhu Qianying, that just because he didn’t know how, it wasn’t because he was stupid. It was because nobody had ever taught him!

Unexpectedly, Baby Boy’s reply was like a sharp dagger flying straight into his heart!

"You’re so stupid! Even with something like this, you should be able to learn from just observing. No one needs to teach you!"

Baby Boy said and threw him a very contemptuous look, not knowing that, just a while ago, his so-called ’stupid’ daddy was almost driven mad by mommy’s long hair!

Zhu Qianying couldn’t hold her laughter anymore. She put down her spoon, leaned on the dining table, and started laughing uproariously.

Yan shot her a helpless and resentful glare. Seeing her this amused made him even more frustrated.

Yan stared accusingly at the laughing Zhu Qianying, clenched his teeth and made a threat without any real menace.

"Laugh again, and I’ll eat you up!"

This time, even Baby Boy started to laugh, "Hahaha, Daddy, are you a big bad wolf? Are you going to eat Mommy like the little bunny!"

Zhu Qianying wasn’t laughing at her son’s comparison anymore.

But to Yan, who understood the deeper meaning of his son’s words well enough, his previous unhappiness and frustration instantly disappeared, and he looked at Zhu Qianying with a newfound interest.

Zhu Qianying was extremely embarrassed. She wished she could find a hole to hide in. However, she couldn’t blame her young son for this; after all, how could his young mind understand the adult world’s metaphors.

She patted her son’s head, "You little rascal, be good and stop saying nonsense."

The ’little rascal,’ probably not knowing the other meaning behind ’big bad wolf’ and ’little bunny,’ blinked his innocent eyes and pouted in dissatisfaction.

"What’s wrong? Baby Boy didn’t babble anything nonsensical. It was Daddy who said he wanted to eat you! You aren’t delicious, how is he going to eat you?"

The little guy’s indignant defense was clearly making matters worse.

Zhu Qianying pulled a long face, while the amusement in Yan’s eyes became even more prominent.

"Yes, your Mommy isn’t delicious! Or else, she would’ve been eaten by the big wolf a long time ago!"

He raised his eyebrows at Zhu Qianying and a teasing smile formed on his lips.

His words were directed at his son, nevertheless, the intended meaning was quite the opposite:

Your mommy, the little bunny, is very delicious, and she has already been completely devoured by Daddy, the big bad wolf. Otherwise, there would be no Baby Boy!

Zhu Qianying just got over stifling her laugh, her face was still red. Yan’s loaded words made her ear tips hot again. She was just about to say something to silence Yan when Baby boy perched on her shoulder.

Then, seemingly hell-bent on stirring up trouble, the little boy leaned in closer to have a look at her face, "Eh? Mommy, your face is so red!"

His face changed abruptly and he quickly reached up to feel her forehead, "Mommy, you haven’t caught a fever, have you?"

While at the hospital, he had stayed with Zhu Qianying the entire time. The doctor had expressly stressed, "If the wound gets inflamed or infected, it could cause complications such as a fever. So, if you choose to recuperate at home, you need to keep an eye on your body temperature, especially on the first day."

Upon remembering the doctor’s words, the little boy looked horrified. His trembling hand touched Zhu Qianying’s forehead and he looked at Yan nervously.

"Daddy, please come and check. Is Mommy running a fever? The doctor said that it could be dangerous if she does!"

Yan probably knew the real reason behind Zhu Qianying’s red face and warm ears, so he didn’t get as tensed as Baby Boy. But seeing his son almost tear up, he naturally had to step in. He rose from his chair, took Baby Boy’s hand away, and replaced it with his own.

Then, pretending to be very serious, he felt Zhu Qianying’s forehead, "Baby, Mommy is fine. She doesn’t have a fever."

To ease his son’s concerns, Yan immediately had a servant fetch an electronic thermometer. Zhu Qianying took it in her mouth, and after a while, handed it to their son.

Baby Boy diligently checked the readings on the thermometer and heaved a sigh of relief.

Once reassured, he picked up Zhu Qianying’s spoon and handed it to her, earnestly urging her to eat.

Mommy, eat quickly, eat more. That way, your body will recover faster!"

At first, Baby Boy’s logic seemed rather odd, but after mulling it over, Yan had to admit that it made sense.

Especially for people like Zhu Qianying and Baby Boy who had surprisingly good appetites; Eating more meant absorbing more nutrients, and a well-nourished body would indeed recover faster.
