Stop There, Daddy

Wen Shuyue grunted. “Are you angry? Let’s wait and see.”

Wen Shuyue rolled her eyes at the father and son. She exhaled in anger, and the air ruffled the hair on her forehead. She stormed upstairs angrily to her room and skipped supper.

At night, Wen Shuyue tossed and turned in bed. She was angry when she thought of He Siming’s reaction today. He didn’t come to make up to her. It was his fault.

Her stomach rumbled suddenly. Wen Shuyue gently bit her lips and looked down at her flat stomach, feeling more upset. She abruptly sat up in the bed and punched the blanket. In the end, she covered her stomach in a grievance.

There was a knock on the door.

Wen Shuyue was curious and expectant. She said anxiously, “Come in!”

Wen Baobao opened the door and entered the room on his two short legs. When he saw the disappointment in Wen Shuyue’s eyes, he smiled mockingly. “Mommy, are you waiting for Daddy? It’s useless to wait.”

“I am not waiting for him,” Wen Shuyue denied.

“Mommy, when will you grow up?” Wen Baobao said maturely as if he was a father lecturing his child.

Wen Shuyue’s face darkened. Wen Baobao was only a few years old. Why was he so mature?

“Wen Baobao, what’s up? If you don’t have anything else to say, go back and sleep.” Wen Shuyue didn’t want to discuss this with her son. She felt awkward. She didn’t need advice from her son.

“Mommy, don’t worry. I will always be with you. No matter how childish you are, I will stand by your side.” Wen Baobao blinked his big bright eyes and crawled into the bed, holding Wen Shuyue’s hand and comforting her.

Even though Wen Shuyue was touched, she felt odd.

“You…” Before Wen Shuyue trailed off as she was embarrassed by the rumbling in her stomach.

“Mommy, are you hungry?” Wen Baobao asked with concern.

Wen Shuyue touched her stomach silently. Looking at Wen Baobao’s concerned face, she awkwardly, “No, I’m thirsty. I’ll drink some water. I’m trying to lose weight.”

“No, you have to eat to stay healthy. I didn’t bring you supper. I went to have dinner with Daddy and forgot about you,” apologized Wen Baobao.

“I had supper, but I didn’t have any appetite. I’ll grab a bite later. Go back to sleep.” Wen Shuyue gently stroked Wen Baobao’s hair and pushed him away to sleep.

“Okay. Goodnight, Mommy.” Wen Baobao held her face and kissed her on the cheek, going out of her room.

Wen Baobao didn’t go back to his room to sleep. Instead, he went to the library. The light was on, and He Siming was working.

“Daddy!” Wen Baobao said loudly as entered the room.

He Siming looked up and saw Wen Baobao. He picked up the child and put him on his lap.

“Why don’t you go you sleep?” He Siming said lightly. He cared about Wen Baobao.

“Mommy is still awake. She didn’t have supper, and her stomach was rumbling,” Wen Baobao said as he stared at He Siming’s face, hoping his father would do something.

He Siming nodded coldly without saying anything.

“Mommy sometimes is childish, but she is my mommy and your woman. You are a man, and you should be broad-minded. She’s young. Forgive her.” Wen Baobao was much more mature than his age, and he talked to He Siming meaningfully.

He Siming raised an eyebrow and looked at Wen Baobao. Why was his son so sensible? It seemed that he had to educate him properly.

Wen Baobao felt uneasy under He Siming’s gaze. He slid down from He Siming’s lap calmly and walked toward the door, saying, “I’m so worried about the two of you that I can’t sleep well.”

He Siming looked at the mature in amusement and smiled faintly. When he thought of Wen Shuyue, he turned cold. He would give the woman one more chance.

Wen Shuyue tried to sleep, but she couldn’t sleep because of hunger and anger. She got out of bed and went to the desk, taking out her laptop to read the company files.

“Why don’t you sleep? It’s late.” He Siming’s voice suddenly came from behind, and Wen Shuyue almost dropped the mouse in surprise.

“You’ve scared me,” Wen Shuyue said with fear when she saw He Siming sitting opposite her.

He Siming didn’t say anything. He put the tray on the desk with a cold face. There was a bowl of egg noodles.

Wen Shuyue was surprised when she saw it. “Did you make it?”

“Do you dare to eat if I dare to cook?” asked He Siming.

“That’s right.” Wen Shuyue took the egg noodles and started eating. She was hungry, and she would eat if there was food.

Wen Shuyue focused on eating the noodles without noticing the affection in He Siming’s eyes.

“Okay. Let’s talk about our problems.” Wen Shuyue finished the noodles and wiped her mouth. She said to He Siming, who looked cold again.

“Okay,” He Siming said flatly.

“First of all, you promised me before, so you shouldn’t have broken your promise. Secondly, you shouldn’t have come to the company with Baobao,” Wen Shuyue said seriously.

“So?” He Siming was sullen.

“I hope that you promise me not to come to the company again.” Wen Shuyue thought that this would anger He Siming, but she had her own considerations.

“Do you think I will scare off your suitors?” He Siming’s voice got lower, and he turned grim.

“That’s not what I mean. If you come to the company, my colleagues will gossip about like today. It’s not good for both of us,” Wen Shuyue explained helplessly, feeling weary.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Wen Shuyue, do I disgrace you?” He Siming rose and looked down at Wen Shuyue in anger.

“I have just joined the company, and I want them to acknowledge my strength. I don’t want them to think I got the position because of you.” Wen Shuyue was a little angry.

“Does it stress you to admit that you are my woman? I can give your everything,” roared He Siming fiercely. He clenched his fists, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.

“But I don’t want it. I have my own ambitions.” Wen Shuyue retorted fearlessly.

He Siming didn’t want to argue with her. He stormed out of the room without closing the door.

Wen Shuyue leaned against the desk and cried in depression.

The next morning, when Wen Baobao had breakfast, he saw He Siming and Wen Shuyue coming out of their rooms respectively and going to work without glancing at each other. Wen Baobao knew that they had a fight and were not on speaking terms, so he had his breakfast alone helplessly. After breakfast, the butler drove him to the kindergarten.

He Siming and Wen Shuyue tried to avoid each other for the following several days. They didn’t even greet each other when their paths crossed. Even though Wen Baobao tried to make peace for them, they ignored him. He was frustrated.

Something happened at the company too. Qin Weiwei started to play her tricks and hooked up with a vice president of the company. The vice president couldn’t resist her and promoted her. He even arranged for her to go back to work for Wen Shuyue. When Wen Shuyue learned the arrangement, she didn’t object. After all, Qin Weiwei was not important to her no matter where she was.
