Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Falling Out of Favor

At dusk, Wen Han brought Wen Shaoyuan to Jiang Bei’s apartment. Upon seeing Wen Shaoyuan, Su Yimo immediately left Wei Shaoqin’s embrace and ran to hug Wen Shaoyuan, looking up with a sweet smile on her face:

"Shaoyuan, I missed you so much. Did you miss Qiqi?"

Now 8 years old, Wen Shaoyuan had grown a lot. He could easily lift Su Yimo. However, he was still worried that he might not be strong enough and could drop her, so he just spun her in a circle and then carefully placed her back on the ground, gently arranging her messy hair, his eyes full of adoration:

"Yes."

"Did you bring me a gift?"

"Yes."

"Is it something I like?"

"Of course."

"I want to see it."

"Okay."

Watching the two children walk hand in hand towards the next room, Wei Shaoqin felt deeply hurt. Ever since Wen Shaoyuan had appeared, his little princess seemed not to even glance at him, even though he had skipped work to play with her all day. And what good did that do? What good did that do!

Whenever Wen Shaoyuan appeared, his princess had eyes only for him.

Wei Shaoqin directed his dissatisfaction at Wen Han, looking at him furiously:

"It’s enough if you come alone next time, don’t bring your son."

Wen Han naturally understood why Wei Shaoqin said this, and he just smiled lightly:

"That might be difficult, but I’m worried that if she does ask me, I would have to send her over to Shaoyuan directly, and you wouldn’t see Qiqi for at least two or three days."

Because of Su Mu’s job, Su Yimo had no playmates of her age nearby, and the closest one was Wen Shaoyuan, who doted on her so much that it could be described as spoiling her. It seemed in Wen Shaoyuan’s eyes, everything Su Yimo did was right and adorable, even her mistakes weren’t seen as problematic at all.

Due to Wen Shaoyuan’s indulgence, Su Yimo always stayed at the Wen family’s home for a few days when she visited Shen City. The Wen family welcomed this, saying, "It’s good for the young couple to foster their relationship early."

Every time Su Mu heard this remark, he couldn’t help thinking of the old lady, though it was just a passing thought.

Wei Shaoqin felt utterly devastated by Wen Han’s remark, clutching a pillow and rolling in agony on the sofa:

"I’m also going to have a son and snatch Qiqi over."

Wen Han was unconcerned:

"You probably won’t be able to snatch her even if you do."

"Why?" Wei Shaoqin angrily sat up from the sofa, "My genes are much stronger than yours. Qiqi likes handsome guys. If I have a son who’s even more handsome than your son, I don’t believe Qiqi won’t like my son."

"Even if you find a woman right now to have a child for you, there’s still a four-year age gap between him and Qiqi. Is she going to treat him like a son, or do you think Qiqi won’t find a man who will cherish her and protect her for a lifetime?"

Wei Shaoqin howled, "Don’t think I can’t tell you’re praising your own son."

"Yeah, I’m praising him so blatantly that if you can’t tell, it would mean you have an IQ issue."

Wei Shaoqin stopped listening to Wen Han and began to wonder if among the women he had been with over the years, there might be one who ran off with another man’s child. If there was, and she had given birth to a son, that would be perfect. He even began imagining Su Yimo abandoning Wen Shaoyuan, but before he could laugh, Wen Han interrupted his daydream:

"Where’s Su Mu?"

"He’s asleep adjusting to jet lag," Wei Shaoqin replied unhappily and resumed his fantasies, as Wen Han shook his head in silence and headed to the kitchen with the groceries he brought.

When Jiang Bei arrived, Su Mu had just woken up not long ago, and was lazily lying in bed unwilling to move. Jiang Bei gently pushed the door open, saw that Su Mu was awake, and smiled lightly, "You’re awake, why not come out?"

"Feeling lazy."

Jiang Bei closed the door and lay next to Su Mu on the bed, Su Mu gently turned to touch Jiang Bei’s still flat belly:

"How is it going?"

"Pretty good, the early pregnancy reactions aren’t very noticeable. I hope she keeps not troubling me, otherwise it would be very troubling at work."

After returning from his advanced studies in Tokyo, Jiang Bei could have been transferred to another department, but he insisted on staying in the emergency department, not accepting any job transfer and continued to be as busy as ever, and fulfilling as well.

"Does Ji Nanfeng know yet?"

"He doesn’t know." Jiang Bei shook his head: "He hasn’t returned yet."

"For such a long time?"

"Yeah, it’s been like this recently."

Su Mu’s heart began to stir with worry, but Jiang Bei saw right through it:

"Stop thinking about all that nonsense. Since we got married, he’s completely cut off those people outside."

"I’m just a bit worried."

Jiang Bei smiled, not saying anything. The two lay quietly for a while until Wen Han knocked on the bedroom door. Su Mu said ’Come in’ and Wen Han gently opened a crack, standing at the doorway in an apron but not coming in:

"Your Highnesses, dinner is ready. May I have the honor of your presence in the dining room?"

In their previous gatherings, Su Mu and Wen Han always handled the cooking together. Wei Shaoqin had learned how to cook, but since the birth of Su Yimo, he seemed to have forgotten this skill, spending all his time entertaining the child. Today, Su Mu was so jet-lagged he had a headache and didn’t get up, so Wen Han took charge of dinner on his own.

Jiang Bei, looking at the abundant dinner on the table, couldn’t help but kick Wei Shaoqin:

"It was fine when you were playing with Qiqi, but now that Qiqi doesn’t even care to look at you, how can you still not cook?"

Wei Shaoqin grunted awkwardly:

"I’m feeling heartbroken, okay? Don’t rub salt into my wound."

"What happened?" Su Mu couldn’t help but be curious: "It’s not because Qiqi is ignoring you, is it?"

"Not exactly." Wei Shaoqin explained: "I regret why I didn’t find a woman to have a son for me. That way, maybe there’d be a half chance Qiqi would become a daughter-in-law for the Wei family. Thinking about Qiqi marrying someone else makes my heart ache so much I can hardly breathe."

Jiang Bei snorted softly:

"Aren’t you too idle?"

"Aren’t you pregnant too? Don’t you ever think about this issue?"

Jiang Bei shook his head: "Maybe I’m having a son too, and Qiqi ends up being my daughter-in-law."

Wei Shaoqin was caught off guard by such an enemy as Wen Shaoyuan, and if another little one came along to compete with him for Qiqi, he felt that life was too unkind to him. Pointing angrily at Jiang Bei, his fingers trembling:

"You, must have a daughter. I’m also going to hurry up and find a girlfriend, hoping to have a son. If I can’t have Qiqi, I’ll take someone from your family as well."

"Sure." Jiang Bei readily agreed: "Provided you first find a woman who can have a son for you."

Wei Shaoqin ’tsk’ed:

"Do you think that would be difficult for me?"

"If it’s not difficult, why are you the only one among four adults in this room without a child?"

Wei Shaoqin completely lost his voice.
