Chapter 568: Chapter 568: If a Child Does Not Learn, It’s the Father’s Fault

How dare he contradict him and try to steal his woman away? Did he think he couldn’t see through his tricks?

Having his little scheme exposed, Xiaocong blushed and faltered, "But Dad made Mom unhappy, and Xiaocong is unhappy too. We’re not happy living here, so why should we continue to stay?"

After all, he was just a child. Even if he was perceptive and smart, he couldn’t fully understand things, nor could he address every aspect when acting.

Rong Shaoze crouched down, ruffled his hair, and asked gently, "So do you think, after Mom goes back to Grandma’s place, she’ll be happy?"

The little guy hesitated, nodding his head then shaking it, not too sure himself.

Rong Shaoze said, "Mom won’t be happy even if she leaves. She is unhappy not because of this place, but because there are things on her mind she hasn’t figured out yet. Once she figures them out, she’ll naturally be happy."

"What things?"

"You’re still young and don’t understand these things. When you grow up, you will understand," he explained.

Xiaocong nodded, half understanding, feeling that the world of adults was indeed complicated.

He was smart enough, but still couldn’t comprehend their thoughts.

Ah, it’s true that when you grow up, you have more worries.

"But Dad, why are you unhappy too?" he asked, tilting his head in query.

The man paused for a moment and smiled, "Dad is unhappy because Mom is unhappy..."

"Oh, I get it! Dad is just like me; when he sees Mom unhappy, he also becomes unhappy," Xiaocong said with a smile, feeling like he had found a kindred spirit.

He patted Rong Shaoze’s shoulder with an air of maturity, saying earnestly, "Dad, Xiaocong is working very hard to make Mom happy. You should try harder too. If we father and son are united, we can have the strength to cut through gold."

"It’s ’seemingly easy to sever metal’! What are they teaching you at school, if you can’t even get the idioms right?"

"It’s the fault of the father if the son doesn’t teach," Xiaocong retorted smoothly with the next line.

Rong Shaoze’s face turned dark in an instant!

Indeed, it’s the fault of the father if the son is not taught...

Meiying turned her face away, unable to suppress a slight smile.

This father and son pair were truly a couple of treasures.

Later, Lin Xinlan quietly pulled Xiaocong aside and asked him what Rong Shaoze had said to him.

Xiaocong naively responded, "Mom, it’s a man’s business, I can’t tell you."

Lin Xinlan smiled tenderly, "My sweet boy, you’re not a man yet. Tell Mom, what secrets did you two share?"

"Xiaocong promised Dad not to tell, Mom can’t force me. Xiaocong wants to be a child of his word," he insisted.

"..."

His words completely stumped Lin Xinlan.

She had to set a good example for her child, to help him grow up to be a person of integrity, so she had no choice but to stop asking.

But she was genuinely curious about what Rong Shaoze had whispered to Xiaocong.

She couldn’t query Xiaocong anymore, and she couldn’t bring herself to ask Rong Shaoze directly either.

Their relationship wasn’t as tense as it used to be, at least they spoke to each other now.

But they still couldn’t return to how things were before, couldn’t regain the intimacy and love they once shared.

At night, they only limited themselves to hugging, without even a single kiss...

Lin Xinlan was truly anxious.

Du Ruoxin’s love for Rong Shaoze was too profound and crazy, she knew him better than Lin Xinlan did, she loved him more.

She feared that Rong Shaoze had developed feelings for Du Ruoxin and that she’d made a place in his heart...

If Du Ruoxin were still alive, Lin Xinlan wouldn’t fear Rong Shaoze developing feelings for her, at least she could compete with Du Ruoxin for him.
